Big Brother’s Russell Brand
 

How can anyone be so revoltingly disgusting and irreverent and yet so caring, wise and loyal?  Sorry if I am ruining your ‘bad boy’ image Russell but I think there is a side to you that could cancel out the foul mouthed, kindergarten sexual talking and disrespect of Christianity. Underneath it all, you are a really nice guy who has had your fair/unfair share of knocks.
 

It was an interesting final show last night, with Shilpa Shetty, no surprises here, winning for political reasons or for her virtues…we will never know which.  She had tough competition with Danielle Lloyd, amongst others, who might have won if it had not been for the over publicised Jade Goody ‘differences’.  This was pointed out by someone in Russell Brand’s audience last night.  As some one else in the audience said, when asked how he felt about Shilpa sitting on the throne, ‘Sorry Shilpa but I would have preferred to see Jade there’.
 

Yet another person in the audience said, if Shilpa could forgive whatever was said or done to her in the house then why can’t the rest of the world?  Shilpa called for all this to be put in the past and said Jade had not been racist in anyway, nor anyone else.  Danielle Lloyd made a public statement that she was not a racist, hand in hand with Shilpa at the press conference.  As many (including Shilpa) said, it was just a game and EVERYONE in the house had been guilty of saying unpleasant things about each other so I suppose they are ALL being called to forgive one another.  Shilpa might have won anyway as she is very beautiful and gracious but at what a price she now wears the crown.  Three lives destroyed by the public and media through behaviour and words that were no worse than in past Big Brother shows. (How many of us have lost our tempers and said things we should not have and got away with it and yet such harsh punishment on others has been meted, who are no worse than we are ourselves?)  There has been a call for tolerance but maybe, through all this, we ALL have learnt the importance of watching our words as they can build or destroy.
