And So It Goes…
With one swift kick to the Birdcunt from the nation, Thatcher has left
the Big Brother building.
News Ltd are all
over the story. The link to the article on the news.com.au
home page states “Big Brother’s Kate fell victim to a gay lobby push to
have her evicted” and as we all know, ‘gay lobby’ is just another way
of saying The Pink Mafia. How many times does Sir Elton John have to
appear in documentaries regarding the issue before people will begin taking The
Power Of The Gays seriously? Foolish, foolish Kate.
I’ve got to
be honest - I selfishly wanted Melanie to go this week so when I attend
this weekend’s eviction, I wouldn’t be bored to death during the
highlights package and post-eviction interview. My only real hope is that
Melanie isn’t nominated at ALL this week, leaving Logan Greg - and lord
knows, I don’t hate him but it’s simply at that point in the series where
I need to make some hard decisions - as our choice evictee.
When
Gretel announced Kate’s name last night, I actually exclaimed
“Noooooyeeeesnoooo!”. Because not only am I emotionally torn between
administering punishment to naughty housemates via Legion Interactive and seeing
my own selfish dreams fulfilled, but I am the sort of loser who talks
out loud at the television when there’s no one else in the
room.
Despite the depressing\excellent\awful\pleasing turn of events, there
were some highlights in the show last night. Here they are listed for
prosperity.
Gretel Looked Superb!
Flowing hippy hair,
nice baggy tie-dye clothing - she looked like a woman who had been
recently refreshed by a trip to Byron Bay. I half expected a brood of children
clad in hand-me-downs with names like Summer and Ozone and Buddha to be
gathered around, pressed up against her motherly legs and burying their
faces in her rainbow dress shyly as she spoke to the audience.
And the jewellery? Magnificent. It was so wonderful to see Gretel
supporting a return to the halcyon days of the early nineties when every man
and his dog enjoyed making Fimo
accessories. As I gazed upon her lumpy red and blue neck ornament, I
could easily visualise the chubby fingers of the Maroochydore After
School Club members rolling and prodding the clay into shape before baking
it for ten minutes, slapping on some cheap paint and posting it off to
Channel Ten as a gift for Gretel. Warmed the cockles of my heart, it
did.
Vesna!
Yes, we’re at a point where Vesna simply
appearing on screen is a highlight. But my favourite specific Vesna
moment was when Gretel questioned her about her tracksuit ensemble.
Vesna replied saucily “If it’s good enough for Britney, it’s good enough
for me!” Words to live by. I muttered something similar the other week
when I let Kevin Federline make frenzied, Alsatian-like love to me in a
public toilet block.
Kate’s Blue Eye Shadow!
Actually,
hang on - I hate Kate’s blue eye shadow. Why does she insist on
smearing it all over her eyelids each eviction night? ITS NOT EYESHADOW
WE WANT, KATE! WE LIKE YOU WEARING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF EYELINER!
GET IT RIGHT!
Timmy Crying His Heart Out!
Isn’t he
adorable and sensitive and swarthy? DON’T QUESTION MY INTERPRETATION OF
EVENTS!
Anyway, life goes on post-eviction.
On a slightly
different topic, I note that a few people have made reference to me not
being unbiased about the show and passing judgement too harshly and
quickly on certain housemates.
Deep down, I don’t hate anyone who
appears on reality television. Except Carlo from Series Three Big
Brother. But hell, these people are on a reality television show where they
are basically asking the Australian public to judge their personality
and if they’re not found wanting, award them a rather large cash prize. I
am not the United Nations. I am not particularly fair or unblinded by
affection. I am utterly fickle and my loyalties change almost hourly. I
do not pretend otherwise, kids. It’s a telly show, we’re a rubbish
website and I tend to shit out opinion pieces about people I’ll never meet.
Please be aware that like Rita, that’s just the way I am AND I CAN
NEVER CHANGE SO CEASE POINTING OUT MY FAULTS, GOD LOVE YOU.
Ahem.
So truth be told, Kate might not be the devil’s spawn. She might be a
daft young thing who made a stupid comment and backed it up with a
ridiculous justification. She may just need to be ‘educated’ as so many
people have argued both here and on various Big Brother messageboards.
But it’s good she didn’t win. It makes me smile. And Timmy’s gonna
go all the way, I can feel it in my bones.

Thought it was amusing that 'news' etc. put Kate's eviction down to 'the pink vote', as if the only viewers offended by her remarks would be gay. Yes, the mainstream media loves a good conspiracy theory!

I don't wanna hear any whinging if you end up at Mel's eviction. Should the inevitable occur, consider MY bad luck at having to sit through Carlo's, on the one show I've attended.
I've never been less impressed with my front-row seats :(

There once was an evictee called Kate And the pink powered gays she did bate In the blink of an eye she's missed out on the prize and Left it for Tim and his mates
I'm sorry. Some things can only be said through the medium of limericks.

The whole reason we watch reality television is to be completely judgemental about people we dont even know and analyse every irritating mannerism, fault and character flaw....so those of you who don't wish to participate, bugger off! hehehehehe...by the way, don't you think Rita was made for assassination on blogs like these? Truly more irritating than any other person on reality TV ever...yes, even Carlos...

I think Tim was still just hanging onto a shred of hope of winning over Vesna, but last night's upset over Kate blew his chances. As they showed him leaving the group and heading to the bathroom, my blood went cold. I sat with my hands over my face, pleading for him not to leave himself open to the barrage of unsympathetic knuckle-draggers who will view that as a perfectly plasuible reason to wildly vote him off at the first available opportunity (while simultaneously rooting for Vesna, who spends every spare moment either crying, or telling others that they should be more open with their emotions...?) After the show was over, I tried to convince myself that maybe people wouldn't think that much of it, however, when I awoke to a poll on the radio over who was a bigger sook out of Tim and Saxon-with Saxon leading by a mere 20%, I knew the game was up.
Poor Timmy. I shed a tear for him...even though I was one of the people who had a hand in voting Kate off and putting him in that position in the first place.

Pffffft, Kate's calrification on tonights show was totally underwhelming. Rather than disecting everything she contradicted herself on I write this letter.
Dear Kate, Kindly fuck off. Kisses, SuperKing.

Which show were YOU watching? I was moved to tears. She pulled out the "I love Love" speech! THE I LOVE LOVE SPEECH! SHE IS THE PEOPLE'S PRINCESS, THE QUEEN OF HEARTS, ETC!
My favourite part was when she said like "I know I said the words, but I wasn't really saying them."
Still, her speech felt a little redundant since Carmel Hill already cleared up any confusion us rainbow flag waving hippies might have felt over the meaning of Kate's original words on the official website. "When she said she was a homophobe? Ummm. She's not. Trust me. I'm a psychologist."
May this be a lesson to reality television show contestants everywhere.

"Here they are listed for prosperity."
I hope that malappropism was deliberate, Jess. Otherwise: tsk.
As I said in my comment on the previous post, it wasn't just her reaction to the boys kissing that shows she's grossed out by gay men. She was very disturbed when they cross dressed and danced as well.

Kate's name is actually Rochelle. I know another Rochelle, she's a drag queen ... irony any one?

Have your read Timmy's beautiful short story on the OS?

He has to win, doesn't he?
Posted by: kes | August 3, 2005 12:20 PM
If WE have anything to do with it? Then, yes. He does have to.

Seeing Time pine over losing Kate when she is clearly worse than Hitler has led me to the following conclusion. Kate is a Succubus sent from the evilest layer of hell to get Tim to be dragged down in popularity by liking her.
Cheer up Timmy, you'll be knee deep in hot lefty babes who love to discuss important political issues when you get out of the house.

last year I got next to the aisle and touched catherine's arm. highlight of my year! Even if we get boring Mel this weekend, I'll bloody well make sure I touch her. also, if I was a poof I'd have voted for kate a few times. Not because I was offended, but because it was a golden opportunity for a show of strength. Kind of like when they got behind Jonny. (teehee) If someone had a go at potty mouth filthbags with black belts in faux-pas I would expect all of my ilk to take up the call to arms and show this pc-riddled nation who's boss. In fact it was us that got kate out for disallowing dinner table burping. Dirty D

Poor Tim. It's awful when someone with a modicum of intellect falls beyond the point of reasoned return for someone venally stupid.
And as for Grottil picking up Vesna on what she was wearing, I can only conclude that Grottil lives in a world without mirrors.
Yeah her hippie gear was passable. Just. Compared with her usual ill-fitting junk.

all i can say is that i am glad kate was booted. it may reboot tim and let himself realise, finally and once and for all...that he is gay!
Posted by: cybele | August 5, 2005 3:07 PM
I'm sorry, but I just don't get it. How can Vesna be popular when every time she appears I want to go all Elvis and shoot my TV??? Please explain??
Posted by: Jeremy | August 5, 2005 3:34 PM
umm, because most of the voters/viewers/survey subjects are girls aged 8-14 and Vesna has an emotional age somewhere between 8 and 14?
