If it hasn’t become obvious yet, I must admit BB07 apathy is quickly starting to set in for me. Lisa & I were both ecstatic when Emma was evicted (and not particularly upset by Rebecca’s eviction either, though for my money her ‘weirdness’, though annoying, gave the show SOME ‘colour’), but have barely watched the show since. It’s that whole ‘real life intruding’ factor, I suppose.
Wasn’t really surprised that Laura got the arse on Sunday night … although as I said I’ve missed basically a week of daily shows, plus FNL (Jamie won … most annoyed at myself for missing THAT) and last week’s Noms, it was pretty clear from various snippets on forums, some snatches of Up Late when channel surfing, and her previous weeks in the house, that the ‘original’ HM’s were all getting fairly sick of Laura, as was the general BB fan-base.
Her post-eviction chat with Gretel was fairly ‘uneventful’, although it did reveal that she was perhaps more ‘self-aware’ than her behaviour in the house may have led us to believe. I also have to say that, whatever her other faults may have been, she gets full marks from me for ‘standing up’ to the HM collective at various points during her stay, especially during her last week in the compound (which I obviously wasn’t aware of, until they showed the ‘highlights package’ during the evictio show). You go, girlfriend !
The latest ‘twist’ from the BB producers is a good one, much like the multiple-noms which saw the ultimate demise of Ice-Queen Emma and Freaky-Mormon Rebecca … and may just get me back to watching BB, at least for this week. I’m talking about the ‘all-boys Noms’ which BB announced as a wrap-up to last night’s eviction show.
Yay ! What this means is that only the male HM’s can be nominated for eviction this week … and what THAT means (hopefully), is that Andrew & Billie will be up for eviction after Jamie exercises his twist. Although I was a HUGE Andrew fan at the start of the series, his behaviour since his girlfriend Hayley’s departure, especially the altogether too-strategic buddying-up with Bodie/Emma’s ‘cool kids’/Hitler-Jugend faction, have left a sour taste in my mouth. The final straw for me was Andrew’s ‘twist’ a few weeks ago which resulted in Sussanah’s eviction – although there’s a small ‘payoff’ to this for those of us outside the house (Sussanah appeared predictably in the last week’s Zoo mag … only the second time I’ve bought that otherwise shitful publication), I would much rather have seen her stay in the house for longer – even taking the show out, truth be known.
So yeah, you know where my ‘evict’ votes will be going this week peeps, assuming tonight’s Noms show plays out according to plan – VOTE TO EVICT ANDREW & BILLIE – let’s toss out the remains of the ‘secret couple’ !
