After laughing at verysarkycow's very sarky but terribly witty comment for 4 hours; I decided to fire up the Mutoscope and partake of tonight's rib-tickling performance of Big Brother.
My first observation was of the wonky fish... clearly worse for wear after a night on the stolen cider. I think Rex should apologise to Mo'.
Also, Lisa's Diary Room piece concerning her dream of 'celeb athletes'... I just wish BB had thought to ask her to reel a few off names. I suspect she was speaking cobblers and wouldn't have been able to name any participants in the current Olympics? In fact the whole conversation sounded like she was waffling and actually had little of anything interesting to say... she's quickly becoming the Wallpaper Housemate who managed to fool most of the people most of the time - a noteable achievement surely?
Mohamed talking in the Diary Room about nominating Rachel... said that he was surprised when he heard her name come up! Haha! Lending weight to my suspicion perhaps that it was a throw-a-way nomination? The idea being you dump a vote on someone not likely to be up in the hope of stacking the chances of your other choice topping the list. The only niggling thing is that he knew Rex (and presumingly also Nicole) were aiming to nominate Rachel over that 'cake task' business... Mmmm can't quite get my head around this one. If it were me, I'd have purposely set out to use the possiblility of a strong HM like Rachel being up to get rid of the weaker Stuart, perhaps Mohamed is smarter than we assume? Maybe it was a mistake and he hadn't thought it through? I'm also wondering if Mohamed has simply run out of targets. Stuart has been in his firing line for ages but aside from him, who else could he nominate? Could this also explain the mental stress Mohamed has been suffering from recently and his sudden voicing of a desire to leave (to avoid nominating friends)?
Back to the fish again... can't remember what they were originally named (Gilbert and something) and they promised Dale they wouldn't rename them if he were evicted. Hmmmm, yes well, bad news chum, the moment you left they did exactly that.
More fishiness... Why was Rachel repeating over and over that Big Brother was going to look after the survivor? He actually said "Big Brother will take care of it"... I'm not sure that's the same thing?
Naughty Rachel... obviously milking the moment and then deciding to drag Mikey along too because she know's he'd play along. For once Nicole actually nailed it with "Plurleeezzze" when she heard that Rachel had been crying over the death of Flipper (or whatever its now called).
The Big Brother Games were a hoot... I'd loved to have known how many laps Rex did after following Rachel's 180+ rotations with the egg and spoon? Can't imagine he'd have gone on for nearly as long as that. And didn't Nicole look bored? Hope Rex doesn't bother wasting any money on a box down that London 2012 thing? Mind you, she did perk up when Rex had to wear that Palm Tree thing... maybe he could get some kind of tropical augmentation work done for her next birthday, I'm sure she'd enjoy that?
Poor Mohamed, trying to speak hypothetically at the dining table but tripping himself up in the process... Darnell was all fit to burst after quickly realising Mo was about to fall flat on his face.
Later, Kat grilling Mohamed in the bedroom was a joy to watch. I really get off on this deep and meaningful stuff. Mohamed is a fascinating character and I just wish he'd let himself go a little more. There's a great relationship between those two but they both need to be a bit more honest with each other. Mohamed especially needs to stand up to Kat (and I believe he's trying to) because she'd respect that more than his dodging the issues out of politeness.
Sickening scenes in the bath between Terry and June... uhck! They look like they've been married 45 years for crying out loud.
Actually, a jolly good highlight show I thought
7/10
