As a fan of Big Brother from way back in Series 1, my summer always tends to start out the same way. Me declaring that I might tune in for the first episode, but of course wouldn't spend my summer glued to the box every evening, only to do exactly that. So, it was with the usual mix of anticipation, interest, and a wee bit of dread, I tuned in last Friday to check out the latest bunch of fame hunters ready to take over my life for the next three months.
This year, rather than bore my other half to tears trying to engage him in conversation about a programme he has less than no interest in, I thought I'd throw my random BB - and other reality TV for that matter - ramblings up here, and see what happens. It could be that nobody ever discovers this blog, but if you do, welcome, hope you enjoy. I don't intend this to be a review of each show; it's just my personal opinions, which you may or may not agree with.
First Impressions:
I tend not to decide on the first night what I think of the housemates (or "non-housemates" as it turned out). So I've left it a few days to try and get to know them a bit. Week One favourite is Siavash. Didn't really like his VT, but have been pleasantly surprised by him this week. Seems like a nice guy, and I love the way he plays peacemaker. Only time will tell whether he'll keep on course, but so far, go Siavash!
On the flip side, Sophia is probably the housemate I'm liking least. Conversly, she had one of the better VTs, but from the moment she walked in the door, she proceeded to bitch and moan about Saffia. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Saffia at all - aside from the furore around her leaving her two young kids to go into the house, I don't find her particularly pleasant and so far feel she's not the most genuine of people in there. That said, Sophia seemed to take an instant dislike to her, which was slightly baffling (though understandable).
Kris has disappointed me. My superficial side thought he was really cute, but so far he hasn't done anything of note...time will tell I suppose. I quite like Sophie, Noirin, Angel and Rodrigo too, none of the rest are really grabbing my attention right now.
As for tomorrow's eviction, I'm a bit torn about who I'd like to go. I definitely prefer Freddy (or Halfwit (as he's now called following the most irritating task that the non-housemates had to perform - don't get me started on the non-housemate thing. Seriously, Noirin has had to draw glasses on her face for days, while all Lisa had to do was answer a phone?? go figure). Sorry, went off on a tangent there. Anyway, I do prefer Freddy, though haven't made up my mind on him yet, but keeping Sophia in would create a hell of a lot more aggro in the house. Either way, I'm looking forward to the first proper eviction of the series. Roll on Friday night!
