Stealth housemates

I haven't posted anything if much about Big Brother so far so I thought I'd give it a go as its more than half way through its run now for this series. I was watching Big Brother's Big Mouth tonight and the audience made an interesting point about how the housemates we usually vote for are the ones with arrogant personalities, who actually contribute to make the show more interesting. And yeah its true when we see them argue and bitch etc etc we usually get so pissed off with after a while you usually want to get them evicted asap, but on relfection once they've gone it just seems a lot more boring without them.

Which brings me to the fact that the real housemates they should evict of course are the less interesting, quieter ones who manage to "slip under the radar" as one audience member said tonight, or "stealth housemates" as Russell Brand amusingly put it. Lets face it Big Brother 4 was full of them and they made stupid mistake of evicting all the interesting housemates early on and keeping the dullards in. Thankfully Big Brother has learned of their mistakes since then, but the trend of the bland housemates still sticks with the series and they always continue to do really well in the series, when they don't really contribte a great deal in order to do well.

This is the first Big Brother for a while I've found myself a bit distanced from though and probably the one I've watched least (well apart from BB4) up until recently and its even shown in the papers, even the bookies interests in taking bets is getting a bit wary too. The MTV style auditions of this years show also left me a bit cold as the show is getting more and more garish each year. All the same as long as the public love to see people argue and bitch we will have Big Brother (or Big Brooodah, as Marcus Bentley would say).

Only half way through? Jeez, this year's seems to have been going on forever. I was sure it must be close to the end by now.
 
Yeah it is taking its time this one, its a 3 month run, so it finishes up in the middle of August. They've also stuffed more housemates in it this year than ever before, god knows why.
