Look to clarify ,although Mary's profession is as an actor, I don't think this is a character role she is playing. However it would be pretty fucking interesting if that was her angle.
Is she an actor, though? I thought she just wanted to be one. Her profile has her career as "Psychic".
I think she probably is playing a role in that I'm not at all convinced she actually believes her own wicca-by-numbers guff - and her supposed personal history (father an ex-priest, mother an ex-nun) is too convenient, as are her film/television/book choices and her "I've got loads of conspiracy theories" bollocks. Question is, has she evolved the Charmed spooookester persona 'organically', as a way of managing her own personal inadequacies (ie. unconscious defence against dullness) or has she cynically constructed the "white witch" persona for more tangible reasons (conscious attempt to get into Big Brother, show that she can act, etc.)?
At the mo Kamal is teaching the house bellydancing steps cue enthusiasm from much of the house and jibes from Maxwell (fucking twat).
Maxwell's coming out with increasingly iffy stuff about Kemal (he's got a "poofy little mouth" apparently - shades of Deliverance) and Makosi (when informed that she could speak ten languages, he asked, "why doesn't she go back to her own country, then?"). Presumably he's being set up as the Cockernee Straight Talkahh who says the things the rest of us are too PC-gone-mad to contemplate. Could win over the closet BNPers...
Seems that Kemal's also been defending his "confused" sexuality in an Alpha Het/Queer Outsider clash with Science - with hilarious consequences. From Digital Spy:
""I'm the people's person, I'm the people's champ," declared Science. "I don't know what you're coming in here trying to be. Be yourself, be real. You're a man."
He continued: "I ain't got no problems against gay people, but you're not gay, you're not straight: you're in between. So what's that? You're fricking confused mate."
...
"You're a joke," said Kemal. "You're just a bit of entertainment here because you think you're from the ghetto. Everyone thinks [that] - that's how it is. With your name Science; then I'm English, I'm Maths, I'm Art.
"Everyone's sick of your voice. Your friends think you're a joke, I think you're a joke. The public are laughing at you. You've got your tits up your arse and everything the wrong way round."
Relegated to the defensive, Science attempted to explain exactly where he was from.
"I am from the hood," he stated defiantly. "There are hoods in England."
But Kemal shot back: "If you really are from there, I don't truly believe you'd be in here. I don't think you'd audition in the first place if you're 'truly from the hood.'"
With the clear upper hand, Kemal continued to mock his rival. "You think that, but I know that's a lie. Everyone is sitting at home pissing themselves thinking 'what a prick.' I guarantee. I think you and your 'homeland posse' are the only ones who believe that you are from the hood.
"You're 22 years old but you're acting like you're 12. You sit in your room all day listening to your music, smoking about three cigarettes and thinking that you're hardcore - maybe you do a bit of dope as well - and you think you're from the hood.""
Exxxcellent. |
