feeling listless

Big Brother The interesting people aren't there any longer. I have a theory about the selection of housemates. There are the interesting ones and the fodder. Anouska is interesting, Justine is fodder. Realistically Ray is fodder too and so is Steph. Imagine if the final four had been Anouska, Jon, Scott and Fed (with Cameron back in on the vote). Now that would have been great television. But no here we are, as the tabloids wet themselves because Ray has a rough temper. Stuff that.

Last night's highlights show was probably the dullest ever. I don't blame Jon for staying in bed for nearly the whole episode. It was like watching half and hour of the live feed in prime time with sporadic diary room entries. There have been massive piss-ups before, but none of them resulted in nothing but sleeping happening the following day.

RI:SE This is only sort of connected, but seriously has it been worth dragging the asses of every evictee into the loft conversion every morning just to see one or two words or to be interupted by Justine? Someone at Digital Spy who hasn't watched it before describes them as looking 'resentful'. Not kidding. Even Nush, who's only been there a few days is look a bit manic. I used to like Iain Lee when he was talking about computer games, but having to be entertaining for two hours a day is really beginning to show. I remember Kelly Brook getting hammered for being a bit poor on The Big Breakfast all those years. She's as nothing to the bag of presenting nerves that is Kate Lawler. Ask her to look good between links, she's fine. Ask her to ask questions and be spontaneous, you're on a hiding to nothing. But perhaps I'm being a bit harsh; I'd be a nervous wreck too if I has to cope with Lee. The only decent idea has been The Big Brother Monitor, but even he looks like he wants to go now. And do we really believe he lives in that room?
