I've heard of the Naoplen Compex before. But what's whith Stu and his Sherrif Complex?
Chicken Stu is rapidly becoming Clint Eastwood. That's 'Clint Eastwood', as played by Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future 3, obviously.
[Victor's] repetitive Diary Room dick-swinging is really pissing me off. It's like some interminably cliched rap song but without the benefit of music.
Victor's mental health? It's seeming a little precarious.
It only really became clear last night that the self-styled "dirtiest player in the game" actually doesn't have any gameplan to speak of (except talking about nominations when he knows he's not supposed to). The Diary Room Monologues are purely for V to reassure himself he's still in control, rather than let us in on his Machiavellian schemes, aren't they? As long as he thinks there's a plan, he's happy, whether he's following it or not. I was almost feeling sorry for him with all the "Earlier, I just wanted my mum to come in and give me a hug" and "I'm not a crier, but if there was a day I was gonna cry, It'd be today" stuff.
Poor deluded nobend.
And yeah - far, far away from the plasticky groping and desexualised nudity, I'm glad this thread has identified 'The Romance' as being all about the tragic, chaste love triangle between Dan, Victor and Cap'n Spam. It's quite beautiful and sad at times. Jason is the very model of the impotent superhero, trapped in a world he can't understand, his lantern jaw no match for the gay kryptonite that has robbed him of his carefully constructed identity (or something).
(talking of superheroes, the way they've redone the eyes in the title sequence this year, making them all scary and veiny, along with all the crying and screaming and unpleasantness, has been reminding me an awful lot of George Morrison's 'Michael Eye' TV show/themepark from his 'SeaChap' cartoon.)
perhaps Big Brother's initially daring mix would seem to be stereotyping of the worst kind
Well quite. Also that the general brief for all contestants seems to be that they should all be of a particularly teenage mentality, not just Kitten. Even the legendary 'fight', from what I've seen, seemed like the kind of argy-bargy you can find at any party full of 15 year-olds. It'll be interesting to see how long Dan can hold up as the token grown-up/parent, with the rest of the supposedly 'mature' tidy brigade still acting like (for want of a better phrase) "spoilt little madams". His ideas on 'culture' notwithstanding, he seems to be doing a good job of interviewing/counselling the other housemates. Do you think evictions were cancelled last night 'cos he's apparently the only force in there preventing a further meltdown? C4/Endemol must be loving him at the moment. |
