I don't think it was intentional shit-stirring aimed at Ahmed, particularly; I think it's more likely that Jason's thought things through beforehand, has ideas on how best to approach Big Brother (have a gimmick; get involved in conflict situations thus ensuring the viewing public actually register you; try to look like Spam coated in barbecue sauce), and was advising Ahmed accordingly. Ahmed's got a tendency to hang back, and I think it was actually quite good advice (Marco's Diary Room weeping was hysterical and made Xoc and me, evil moxen that we are, laugh out loud). I'd been hoping he'd get involved in arguments about asylum-seekers, and it seems he finally has.
I suspect that, where the anti-gay stuff is concerned, the emphasis was selectively created by the production team rather than Ahmed himself. I expect they asked him a battery of questions, including some direct stuff about whether he liked being around gay people, and edited it to look like he'd voiced it as one of the pillars of his worldview.
Kitten's shaping up to be an enormous pain in Big Brother's arse - as I suspect she's been a pain in the arse in pretty much every institution in which she's ever been involved. On the one hand, she's eminently watchable, and probably the most 'water cooler' housemate so far; on the other, her persistent, deliberate pushing, pushing, pushing at even the simplest of boundaries is gonna lead to a standoff, sooner or later. I think she's likely to keep pushing until they're forced either to evict her or look like compromised twatbiscuits.
I'm guessing the whole 'two warnings' thing is an attempt on Big Brother's part to hang on until the nomination - when it's highly likely that Kitten will be voted out (I reckon that, while they're slightly in awe of her, the other housemates don't actually like Kitten very much) - in the hope that getting to spy on her housemates blah de blah will distract her from petty rule-breaking.
It won't. |
