feeling listless

TV Time then for what is increasingly looking like a weekly Big Brother rant post. It's unthinkable that it would continue with the same momentum if Alex leaves. He is the centre of the show, a scimitre for both hatred and love within the house. Which is odd because like the other housemates he has lost sight of the essential basics of his situation. That he is living in a twenty-four hour gameshow. So on Saturday night when he was harranged by social misfit PJ to justify his somewhat logic choice of picking those three girls to spend the following week with him on the rich side (I probably would have picked them as well) he didn't pick on the one thing which would have silenced everyone. "It's a game mate. On this occasion, I won, you lost. OK?" Instead he went the British route of trying to be nice -- it didn't occur to him that he might strengthen his position within the group if he took the bastard's position. The fact that he also felt like he had to answer back when faced with what was essentially very childish behaviour is a weakness which will eventually be jumped upon (assuming he's still these next week).

[and just while we are in the area, why did Channel 4 sensor Spencer's reason for nominating Alex? What could have been so awful? And if it was something which would prejudice the public vote against the sullen one, don't we have a right to know?]
