Well here I was sitting down to revel in Sree's departure tonight, only to find it totally upstaged by Marcus's phenomenal diary room "conversation" following his argument with Sree over the shopping budget. I started to cheer when he spoke back and challenged Big Brother over its blatant hypocrisy and PC behaviour. It's the first time a housemate has actually called BB, and I could picture the producers squirming up in the control room as Marcus refused to play ball and tell them they were right.
BB had the cheek to suggest that Marcus was being racist by imitating Sree's Indian accent. This is laughable, considering Halfwit's accent is imitated by a number of housemates (the Kris gang etc) regularly, and not a word is said. And as Marcus rightly pointed out, if he had mimicked Noirin's Irish accent or any of the other housemates accents, he wouldn't have been spoken to at all. I'm totally with Marcus, and it's about time someone called the show out on this. In a way, it's now a bit of a shame (only a very little bit, mind) that Sree won't be in the house next week.
Now, no doubt opinion will be split on this topic. For everyone who applauds Marcus, there'll be someone else who disagrees completely. And of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion. For me, I'm happy to see a housemate finally stand up to Big Brother. Let's hope it continues.
