Karly Ashworth : My Likes & Loathes Of This Year’s BB

Nothing beats a bit of Big Brother fever to officially start off our summer, and this year I am absolutely loving the set up of the house… it’s so inviting, fun and glamorous unlike our ‘recession’ house last year with it’s uncomfortable seats, NO storage space and rubbish kitchen, this years housemates are able to chillax in their very own ‘nest’ outside, have a gorgeous open plan kitchen and EVEN a huge closet to store all their gladrags!

Obviously as time goes on, opinions can change on the housemates but I have a few favourites already… Corin, Josie and JJ! Corin is my ultimate favourite; her accent, humour and diary room rants were enough to win me over and I really hope she makes it to the final! I always love a people’s champion!

There’s not much I loathe about this show (at the minute anyway) but only a few weeks in and already have a walker, now that REALLY irritates me… Shabby, Shabs, Scabby, whatever you prefer to call her, took it upon herself to leave the Big brother house claiming it was ‘her time to go.’

If there is one thing I hate about Big Brother, its when the contestants walk! I mean, after spending months of gruelling auditions, being put in hiding and basically given the best opportunity of your life handed to you on a plate as a reward, they decide that living in a house and having fun for the summer is ‘too much’ for them. I’m sorry but get a grip of yourself! I find it extremely ungrateful and disrespectful to the other BB hopefuls who were not as lucky to have made it on to the show.

I am also hating the ‘save and replace’ task, (can you tell I’m on my soapbox now!?), I mean yeah it brings conflict to the house and adds a bit of excitement, but is it really necessary EVERY week?! Personally I think it defeats nominations and cheats others of how far they COULD have gotten!

I’m sure the twist at the end of Big Brother 11 will be enough to keep us all on the edge of our seat and ensure this series goes out with an almighty bang! Stay tuned…..
