I just finished watching tonight’s Big Brother episode and as it ended, I felt myself feeling warmer towards Brian than I ever had before.

Up until now, Brian was an irritating, daft, hornball who I couldn’t watch without cringing. However, listening to him defend ‘Pauline’ tonight made me gush a little.

Obviously, Brian’s speech in the diary room was before he found out that Pauline is actually an actress. But to hear him get annoyed at Carole etc for being so suspicious of the new girl was quite sweet. He seemed to realise that Big Brother could do anything, and the whole thing could well be a ruse, but he pointed out that if everything was above board then they would have been suspicious of a girl who they should have been looking after.

Chivalry survives in the Big brother house!
