Three Men & A Race Row?

Sat, 09 Jun 2007 21:03:33 +0200

Forget about Three Men & A Baby, this past week in Big Brother happens to have been one of high drama.

Last Friday we saw the first housemate enter, self confessed ladies man Zach, who for no apprant reason goes by the name of Ziggy. He was postively beaming that he'd be sharing a house with 11 women, but his idea of paradise soon turned into one perpetual nightmare as the week dragged on. Pleas note: never put 11 women in one house, unless you want constant arguments over hair straighteners, make up and food. Ziggy was given the unwelcomed task of being the only one to nominate: his victims - Emily "im not a racist", and Shabnam aka Amy Winehouse.

But what is BB without a scandal. Fresh from the "race row" of Celebrity Big Brother, one of the housemates blurts of the N word to the nation. In all fairness to the girl she didn't mean it in a racist way, but Emily fell foul of channel 4 and endemol's quest to prove to ofcom that they can handle racists. She became their scapegoat, and will be vilified forever more in the public eye - I would have sympathy for her, but that's what you get for going onto Big Brother - deal with it.

With Emily gone, so are our hopes of a week 1 eviction, Shabnam is let off the hook and the nation feel cheated out of their 25p (even though 10p goes to charity - yeah right). What to do? What to do? Oh yes throw in a couple of gays, that'll raise everyones moods. Hell no they put the two most annoying male members of the population into the house, disapoiting housemates and public alike.

Big Brother - sort yourself out!

The Channel 4 Freakshow Returns

Fri, 01 Jun 2007 13:59:16 +0200

Like a phoneix rising from the ashes, Big Brother returns for another series of crazy frolics and talentless wanabees. Many thought that the "Shilpa Popadom" race row would be the final nail in the coffin for the show, but it's back and bigger than ever. In a first night twist, all 11 contestants are female: but looking at some of them there's room for debate. After last years far fetched group producers aimed for a "normal" group. If Tracey - the new rave hippy, Carole - the bisexual political activist and Laura - Wales' answer to Matt Lucas, are normal then I hate to imagine their idea of a freak.

Chanelle and Charley are wannabe WAGS, well you have to throw a few in for good measure, Emily is a carbon copy of the venomous little rich bitch Grace from last year, I could barely survive Nicky and Lesley's VTs without falling to sleep, and when it comes Shabnam (if thats how you say it) I can't get past the fact that she's a spitting image of Amy Winehouse. The prospect of a set of twins entering the house is enough to get anyone's testrone levels rising, but when it comes down to Sam and Amanda, the only thing the male population want to give them is two bullets to the head.

And then Davina tells us one "lucky" man is to enter on Friday, judging by this bunch of sad and desperate women, I really dont envy him, if he can survive a week looking at Carole, then he's a worthy winner in my books! God knows how many housemates, 14 weeks - say goodbye to your summer!
