Big Brother 2009: Is It Worth It?

Well you’ve heard the reports this year, that Big Brother isn’t doing as well as it has done in previous years, but is it the housemates or the show itself that’s sent ratings crashing?

Let’s be honest, the inmates this year aren’t quite as mental as they have been in the past, in fact, most of them just seem like fame-hungry wannabe’s than the types of people you’d cross the street to avoid.

I mean where’s the annoying Charlie-alike? Or the nasty Nick Character? Or even the token couple like Mario and Lisa? Nothing, just loads of plain housemates, who, for the most part, are only in their for their looks.

To be honest, I’d rather have a bunch of stereotypically ‘ugly’ people in there if it meant we were going to get some real action rather than watching 12 people preening themselves in the mirrors and setting up fake romances to try and hook in a few extra votes.

I’ve got to admit, I love Big Brother, and I’d love to be a contestant, and as much as it’s awful to say “I wish they’d argue” let’s face it, we’d rather see another Chantelle Vs Charlie Vs Ziggy battle all over again than the housemates only arguing about Halfwit making too much salad.

The only really entertainment is watching Sree piss everyone off by coming onto Noirin and telling her that he’s in love with her, telling Karly she dresses too slutty and generally annoying the lads with his lack of social skills.

But what do you think about this year’s lot? Are you still tuning in?

Big Brother: Day 7

Big Brother seems to be taking over my life at the minute, but not as much as the fifteen housemates living in the house I guess. So, what have they been getting up to?

Well, Sree is branded annoying by his housemates, Karly is bored of the show already, Noirin reveals she was bedded on ‘The Real World’ and Sophie chats about her fake boobs. Brilliant.

Sree branded annoying

We al saw in last night’s show that Sree had started to rub his housemates up the wrong way, and in the latest Sree(m), – see what I did there… mixed Sree and scream? – anyway, Marcus AKA Wolverine last night vented his frustrations about Sree to Angel, Lisa and Kris calling him an annoying little brother.

Karly: ‘I’m bored out of my mind’

I would have thought that a piece of dust or a small marble would keep airhead Karly entertained, but it seems that she’s bored already, after just one week in the house!

The glamour girl told wannabe gangsta Cairon about her woes whilst they were in the garden, saying; “I’ve been bored out of my mind today, I keep thinking I could be in New York right now, with my boyfriend or with my family and I’m stuck in this house, bored out of my brains and with people I don’t even like.”

Weirdly though, Karly doesn’t live in New York, and she also told us in her VT before she entered the house that she would like to meet a footballer so she does not have to work.

Erm, is it just me but doesn’t she realise that her boyfriend would have seen that? Talk about a dumb blonde… oh, and you’re bored Karly? Well this is Big Brother 10, how you ever watched the show before?

Noirin Had Sex On ‘The Real World’

Noirin might not be so new to reality TV as she makes out, as it has come to light that she actually appeared on The Real World Sydney in 2007 as Isaac Stout’s girlfriend.

And she didn’t just ‘keep it real’ either, in one of the shows the pair spent quite a while in the hot tub before making their way to the bedroom hours later – I just hope they didn’t have wrinkly fingers and toes.
Sophie Talks About Boobs

Sophie, always wanting to discuss the important things in life, cured her boredom by explaining to her housemates that her breast implants are just “six-months-old”.

During a casual chat over the dinner table, crazy Angel asked Miss Pretty when she has her boobs done, to which she revealed that it had been in December “just gone”. To with her fellow airhead Karly asked, “Are they still healing?”

“Some people say it takes six months for them to properly shape,” Sophie replied, but apparently if she looks after them properly, the implants will last her ten years. Wow, you learn something new every day.

Big Brother 10: Show 2

So it’s Saturday and we’re on show two of this series, and rthe housemates are thrown into turmoil right away as special forces burst into the house and white noise blasts in whilst the housemates are lined up for interrogation. Wow, you know that Big Brother has really begun now.

The non housemates are lucky enough to just sit in their cosy bedroom and watch the whole debacle play out whilst their fellow inmates are forced to prove their worth by being subjected to all sorts of SAS interrogation tactics… and here they were thinking they were going to have a nice, relaxing summer.

The fully fledged housemates, Lisa, Rodrigo, Norin and Kris then get called to the diary room where they’re treat to a delicious full English breakfast which they are instructed to eat in the bedroom in full view of their starving housemates.

The torment goes on until the second half of the show which see’s the housemates given the chance to win full housemates status and be immune from eviction on Sunday. However the challenges are for two housemates to cross broken glass, whilst one other housemate has to endure thirty seconds of ultimate special force challenge… I mean, Big Brother, broken glass… isn’t that a bit dangerous?

Sophia and Charlie somewhat stupidly decide to take on the glass challenge, which they somehow manage to cross without any serious injuries or severed toes… and achieve full housemate status.. well it was sugar glass after all (clearly the ‘brave’ housemates didn’t know that!) elsewhere Karly decides to take on the Special Forces, I hope she doesn’t think the Barbie Doll persona will force the Special Forces to go easy on her though.


Standing in the garden she’s forced to lay down whilst some bloke on a motor cross drives into the garden and starts revving his engine, although with her face blindfolded she doesn’t realist that some bloke is just rolling a wheel over her belly and pretending to drive over her. So this brave little princess also gets full housemate status. Woo!

So, whilst the latest housemates eat their lash up, the non-housemates have to eat porridge from mess tins it’s almost enjoyable until Freddie comes in and starts warbling on about he is freaked out by Wolverine (aka Marcus) and tells us all how she likes Sophie, who he didn’t think he’d like because he usually goes for ‘brainy’ girls. Right.

We get our first tears from Sophie Who gets upset because her bra is too tight and her knicers are too small. Obviously all the guys flock to make her feels better, secretly hoping they will be able to help her out of them… I do hope these crocodile attention-seeking tears aren’t going to stick with us for the next couple of months.

Luckily for her, Sophie and Freddie are the next ones to be called to the diary room in the hope of being given full housemate status. Their challenge is to change their name, by law in deed poll. Freddie gets the joy of being called halfwit, whilst Sophie is destined for dogface. Clearly they both sign the document. Brilliant.

Later on the ‘real’ housemates get access to their own kitchen complete with crisps and chocolate, that’s actually better than the kitchen in my house…although the fake housemates are subjected to more soup for their meal, but I mean let’s face it, they don’t have to work Monday to Friday and they get all their food made for them… I need to get me some housemate action going on.

The bitching also begins with Sophie talking about Sophia bitching about her, whilst Sophia and Karly are busy talking about how they think Charlie will win and Sophia seems a bit quite, and that they think Sophie actually has a problem with them. Err, hello, we’re only on day two and they’re already sniping behind each other’s back… what’s wrong with saying things to each others’ faces these days?

However, in the living room, Sophie is still banging on about Sophie’s ‘true colours’ and all this stuff, but is it just me or is someone a bit jealous that they have to sleep on the floor?

Beinazir makes it into the diary room for her bitch session, and until now I’d totally forgotten she was actually in the house however, the housemates aren’t so lucky in the bedroom, and Freddie is warbling some bloody song at the top of his lungs, much to everyone’s amusement… oh I knew the madness wouldn’t take long to start.
