We Need To Shake It Up A Bit

And so Kris has gone. No surprise. From the moment that BB engineered him to be up for eviction, there was little doubt that it would be the curly haired tosspot waving goodbye this week. I was delighted to see the back of him. Not particularly because of the fake romance with Sophie - though I think it's a bit more genuine on her side. I've seen nothing from Kris to convince me that he's in this one for the long haul. Give him a week of having girls chasing him (why they would want to do that is beyond me, take away the hair and there's not much else to him). What I really disliked about him was his almost bullyish treatment of Halfwit; it showed a nasty little streak to the guy, and made uncomfortable viewing from time to time. It'll be interesting to see how Team Cool behave now he's gone. If nothing else, it might have planted a little doubt in their heads, as it begins to dawn on them that perhaps they're not the most popular with the Great British viewing public.

I've spent the last couple of weeks hoping that BB would start shaking it up a bit, but was beginning to doubt we were ever going to get some new housemates. So overall it's good news to hear that a whole new crop of HMs will be entering the house next Friday. While it'll be interesting, as always, to see how the new folks fit in (or not), I do feel it's a bit too late for new people to enter. I would have preferred this 'twist' to happen 2-3 weeks ago; it could have really made an impact. Now, with half the series already gone, I just feel too little too late.

However, maybe the 10th anniversary stunts planned for this week will shake things up in the meantime. Personally, I don't think the visits by ex-housemates from previous years will necessarily cause discord in the house, but I do think it will be fun. I'm really looking forward to seeing Nikki, Nasty Nick, Michelle Bass, Rex et al returning. A bit disappointed that some of my own favourites won't be making an appearance, but nonetheless I'm looking forward to an entertaining week. Let's hope I won't be disappointed.....
