Ryan & Ashalea Fight

Last night during Up Late, Ryan and Ashalea apparently had a massive blow up at each other. Typical. The night I stay up and watch the entire show they’re all asleep. I have one early night and there’s some actual excitement. Sigh.

The fight started after Ryan poked fun at Ashalea eating a fourth serving of toast and cheese, and then began baiting her until she finally blew up at him. Huge issue mate, way to pick your battles. I won’t go into the whole thing here -why? Because instead you can read an excellent recap from BBBA’s vibes by clicking here.

Now for my two cents. Some of you might remember a while ago I commented on Ryan’s flash of temper when he spoke to Gretel one eviction night. You also might remember my comments regarding Knifegate. I think Ryan is a great bloke and everything, but that temper - it’s ice cold, and it’s always aimed at girls.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not calling him a potential wife basher or anything - I can only speculate about his temper because all I know of Ryan is what I’ve seen on screen. However, I have seen this kinda thing happen before in my own life - guys that are nice as pie to everyone, but when they do lose it, it’s always directed at a woman. They’re not evil incarnate, just rather insecure.

Again, I can only speculate, but from what I’ve seen Bree would not make a good match for Ryan because she’s got too much spunk of her own (fiestiness, you perverts, she doesn’t keep a collection of semen in jars or anything!). It doesn’t surprise me in the least that Ryan was attracted to Monica - not only was she physically his ideal, she was also the kind of trophy wife girl I’d imagine Ryan is looking for. Always agreeable? Sweet, subdued, obedient? The future Mrs Fer-ryzie!

It’s also telling that after all his arguments with Krystal and their obvious clash of personalities, he still selected her over girls he bonded with far more as one of his pick of housemates to date (Monica being the other). It might just be the fact she has marvellous tits, however I suspect it’s because at twenty seven he still fundementally thinks of women as objects, despite insisting he’s sensitive blah blah blah (cue Jeff Buckley quote).

Well, that’s just a few things that I’ve been thinking about since readeing about the fight, and I thought I might as well share will you. Ryan-fans, before you comment that Ryan is hilarious, remember - I don’t disagree with you. And I also don’t disagree with the fact that everyone has their faults and flashes of temper. It’s just…

a) I find it interesting that Ryan’s temper has never been directed at a male, not once.
b) I like to pretend I’m Carmel Hill in my spare time (in a completely unqualified sense).

PS: It’s worth noting that Ashalea may have hit the nail on the head when she told Ryan “This is why you don’t have a girlfriend, ‘cause you’re so fucking agro!”
