More Merlypops Rants

Hmph. As every man and his dog knows, Merlin has been nominated this week for eviction, and goodness, hasn’t he kept his feelings to himself? End sarcasm. No, as you all know Merlin’s been discussing his nomination to anyone he can find, and not even a strike has put him off course - he gained another strike last night for discussing the nominations with Paul.

I mean, honestly - you’d think he’s the first person to ever be nominated! Ever since Monday night he’s been in whinge mode and I for one am bored stiff. So it’s much like the last few weeks, except this week I can help vote him out. Perhaps he can join Elle in finding herself? His self-professed analytical skills would surely come in handy in an investigation of that scale!

Big Brother’s official site published this article after Merlin got nominated. Several things mentioned in it got my goat (a metaphorical goat, of course, I am not some sort of goat musterer whose herd is being continually pinched by thieves) and being the sort of sharing person I am, I felt I’d go through them with you.

Lord, what a perfect example of the blathering style of conversing that has driven me mad the entire time. Allow me to say that again in Merlin-language. “It’s like, well it’s not… but kinda like an example that may be perfect - I’m not saying it’s perfect, but it could be. In a way. Let’s hug.”

Wow, how wacky and spontaneous! And not in a pre-planned kind of way, even though you’re revealing your plan, before (or “pre”) the eviction result! Also - is this the most wanky thing that’s ever been said in the house? Other than Aphrodite’s lame desire to wear undies on her head, Jessica Hardy style.

I might add now for anyone out there who thinks I’m being mighty unfair - I might well be, but that’s my divine right as a viewer. I don’t hate Merlin, he’s probably a nice enough bloke, but in housemate terms I think he’s been rubbish and when Merlin signed up for Big Brother he gave us all permission to judge him based on his behaviour on the show. So that’s what we do. I do it with Ashalea, I did it with Aphrodite and I’ll probably do it with someone else before the show ends. They’re not evil, I’m not evil - we’re all just playing our respective parts in the pantomime that is Big Brother.

PS: FYI - Merlin has spent most of this afternoon with his head under a blanket or pillow sulking about his woes.
