Poor little babies….

Dear readers, as you hit the hay this evening spare a thought for wee George Askew. George, despite having lived through 6 series’ of Big Brother has only just realised that he may become a household name after he gets evicted. He doesn’t think he’ll be able to handle fame when he gets out.

Hmmmm…..

How can you not know what to expect from a stint in the Big Brother house? I mean, they’ve been in the house little more than a week and quite a few of them seem to regret being in Big Brother already.

Back in the good old days, housemates used to join the show to savour the experience. It was a social experiment back at the start, and interesting to watch the combustible mix of personalities and how people formed bonds and little cliques. These days, the housemates are focussed on the fame afterwards, the presenting gigs, the public appearances and – of course – the magazine deals.

Is that why they’re having a hard time adjusting to the house this year? Is 13 weeks just too long to wait, combined with the possibility that you’ve been edited unfavourably?

Look at Nikki Grahame, for instance. Aspiring z-list Posh Spice footie wife-type. OK, I don’t like her. At all. She’s been banking on Big Brother to launch her to fame, hook her up with a deaf, dumb footballer (he’d have to be deaf to put up with her), but she’s been dumped in an environment where no-one gives a toss about her and certainly don’t want to listen to her crap.

Personally, I don’t think quitters should be allowed to walk out. It undermines the show. They should be bound to their contract with Big Brother and made to follow through to the end unless they are evicted.

What do you think?
