Big Brother - What a let down!
I’ve been looking forward to the final Big Brother for absolutely ages. I’ve been a Big Brother fan since what feels like the beginning of time and I was really hoping that the last ever one in the series would have something special and different about it. I thought maybe the contestants would have more than two brain cells or want to change the world or not be totally self obsessed but no, how wrong I was!
It’s the same bunch of hypocritical, shallow, fame hungry idiots as ever. All right so some of them use long words an could probably get a locum doctor job if they tried (Ben) and others pretend to be mavericks (Shabby) and others try desperately to give the impression that they’re clever (Sunshine) but ultimately they all want the same thing as usual, fame. In fact I was very surprised that the most clichéd of the lot (Corin) actually has now become my favourite. Despite her obviously false breasts, her orange tan and her hair extensions she seems genuine and funny as well. Although she’s trying, I think, to emulate Katie Price she is in fact a million times more interesting, largely because she doesn’t take herself too seriously. Also she was the only one who could just about operate a glove puppet and she had a lot of fun doing it.
I must admit that was a great idea of the Big Brother people and it livened up an otherwise standard series. I do think they should have had a master class with a professional puppeteer though. Now that would have been interesting! Why though can’t they talk about anything interesting? They all seem so immature as well, teasing Sunshine about her nose and her dietary requirements. Also what was all that about the crisps? It was more like watching a group of eight year olds than twenty something years olds! Seriously Big Brother Contestants - grow up!
