Oh dear, take a look at that…I make my triumphant return to blogging, and then fail to blog for two weeks :no: What a shameful excuse for a human being I am :yuk1:

So today I am going to bore the pants off most of you I am sure, by talking about Big Brother :eye: cos if you don’t already know, I am what they might call an ‘obsessive fan’. I’ll start off with Big Brother UK 8, which has already been going for what seems like forever and ends this coming Friday, firstly let me just say ‘Hello, my name is Starlet and I am about the only person in the country who liked Charley *waves*’ - It’s an entertainment show people, not a morality show….and Charlie provided more entertainment in her time in the house than the rest of them put together! I also still think of poor Emily & wonder what the series could have been like if she’d stayed, damn that Jade Goody, Emily suffered for her racism in Celebrity Big Brother 5.
The ‘Chiggy’ relationship made me want to vomit and/or tear out my hair on a daily basis, I’d say they are perfect for each other because they are both such atrocious excuses for human beings, but I can’t because I can’t bring myself to be that nice about them. Chanelle needs to grow up, learn to take some responsibility for own actions, get her jealousy under control and grow her own personality and identity (I wonder if Victoria Beckham has taken out a restraining order yet?) and Ziggy, “well…ya know…simple…ya know? Well, I mean…it’s simple, ya know? end of really.” - Who’s ever heard the guy make sense rather than talk in a bloody circle?! Now we are down to the final, I don’t care who wins really…I know it won’t be tyrannical Carole, or mumbling Ziggy as they simply don’t have the support, I don’t especially like Mr Smug aka Liam but it won’t be the end of the world if he wins, Brian, the Twins and Jonty are all lovely and I’d be happy to see them win it, but I don’t feel any of them deserve it…they’ve coasted through by being nice guys, avoiding conflict, keeping out of tricky situations, not having opinions. My personal favourite, and someone I thought was a very worthy winner, walked out of there just over a week ago…the wonderful Gerry :throb: I can at least take comfort in the fact he’s the person to leave the house with the lowest ever eviction percentage
Overall I have to say the series has been balls, as bad as if not worse than last years…which I thought was as low as it could go…too much manipulation, no decent tasks, flopping twists & the public keep voting out the wrong ones.

Give me Big Brother Australia over UK any day…I won’t bang on about this quite as much though, don’t worry. This is the 3rd series of the Australian version I have seen (I also uploaded the whole thing to youtube, yup…the whole thing…unfortunately at about the mid way stage I became involved in an ‘International incident’ which was quite hairy :glasses: Take a read of what happened here if you so wish.) and I do have to say, not the best…but still thoroughly enjoyable. Unfortunately Big Brother Australia suffers from the same problem the UK does, a stupid bloody voting public who, despite pleas from the hosts to ‘Vote for the house you want to watch, not the one you want to live in’ - always vote out the people with an ounce of personality and life in them, meaning come mid series you are usually left with a bunch of dull as all hell nicey nicey people (Blandrew - worst Aus HM ever? I think so) and they have to throw in some crazy bastard intruders to liven things up. Bodie remained one of my favourites throughout the series despite being kicked out at the 2nd eviction, crazy TJ was a hoot and Emma was probably my favourite overall this year. When it got down to the final 2 I was very pleased with both, one a lovely bubbly happy chick, the other a camp as a row of tents, funny and lovely young guy…it was very reminiscent of the Big Brother UK 2 final, which saw a similar universally loved pair of Helen and Brian face off. In the end Aleica won it, by a very small margin, and that made me happy. Just a shame the final was such a disaster.

And now (Yes, she’s still talking about Big Brother!) Big Brother USA 8. I lost my favourite on Thursday, the wonderful unflappable (errr…well until last week she was unflappable) Jen, the girl who always had a smile on her face, even when ‘Evil Dick’ poured a glass of iced tea right over her head, when she rightfully called his ‘I’m so morally superior to you, Jen’ daughter on the fact she’s actually just a little princess slut. Amber drives me crazy with the crying, has one person ever cried so much on national TV before? Her and Jameka drive me crazy with their God bothering also, they seem to think the chap has nothing better to do than help them win food competitions! I really liked Eric up until the last episode, I thought he had done really well with the America’s Player thing and was a nice, funny guy…but the way in which he treated Jen on her leaving (and then we saw his butter wouldn’t melt, suck suck leaving message)…yup…now I see why everyone else thought he was a smug, slimy, sleazeball Dick and Daniele…well don’t even get me started on these pair of degenerates, I enjoy a good game player as much as the next person…so in the early stages really enjoyed Dick’s style, but he long since over stepped the mark when he poured the Ice Tea over Jen, and the scenes in which he was blowing smoke in her face and then burning her with his cigarette were probably the most unpleasant Reality TV scenes I have ever watched (and this is coming from someone who saw Kinga stick a wine bottle up her lady garden!), it made me sick that no one stepped in. Makes you wonder how far someone would have to go on the USA version, before Big Brother/the Police had to step in, I ain’t easily shocked…but that shocked me. Then on to his ‘lovely’ daughter Skeletor…erm…I mean…Daniele, Daniele’s poor boyfriend…that’s all I can say, like it’s not bad enough to watch her getting close to another guy in the house…she & the producers rub it in at every available opportunity. Having a gooey letter from him in her HOH room? Him going as her loved one to the ‘power of 10′ thing? Pathetic, show some bloody respect woman. I just hate everything about Daniele, from the fact she looks like she’s about to die from malnutrition, to the fact she pretends to hate her dad but then smirks and laughs and loves it when he fights her battles for her, from the fact she thinks she’s a good strategic player but then has to backdoor someone - the ultimate act of cowardice in this game, to the fact she has the whiiiiinnnnneist voice ever ‘Ooooh daaaad this sssuuuuucks, there’s no ooooone leeeeft in thiis hoooooooooooooooooooouuuuuussssseeeeeeee Iiiiiii likeeeeeeee waaah waaaaaaah waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah’. I think out of the ones left, Jessica is the only one I really like…and Zach is the only one who’s game I respect.

Ok, whew…done. Congratulations if you read all of that, but don’t you have anything better you should be doing :giggle:
