Big Brother: The Highlights So Far

I have to apologise to you in advance but over the next three months I will be frequently blogging about Big Brother.  It's not my usual blog style, but it's one reality TV show that is absolutely worth the investment of time.  It's like a soap opera that's real without a script, although it's loosely scripted of course because of the personality types.

So basically we've now met all the contestants.  Nothing stands out about the four that were introduced on Tuesday night. 

The other highlights since are Skye and Gemma having a mini falling out because she said that Skye was as deep as a paddling pool.  I think a paddling pool would actually be deeper than Skye.  Those on social media have jumped to Skye's defence saying we shouldn't judge her but she chose to go on Big Brother knowing full well that people would judge, although given her lack of intelligence, maybe she didn't know and she's the one who knew people would quickly form opinions by saying she hated "that politics" thing and that was the point at which she lost me, though I do like her fashion sense.  It's probably the only thing I like about her but it wouldn't be enough for me to keep interested in watching her.  I'd vote her out immediately if I was in the house and if viewers have any say she'll be the first one I want to go. 

Another highlight according to Channel 9 is Jason's coming out story.  He's the real estate agent from Canberra and told a sob story about how his family don't want to know his partner.  Really?  Who cares?!  This is 2014, who actually cares what he is.  It's kind of a non event to me, and who cares that his family hasn't met his partner (other than his dad).  Relationships are between two people and two people only, the two people in them.  It's such a non event that he's gay.

It also turns out that heads of house Katie and Priya took the $10,000 each that Big Brother offered them meaning that the house is on a diet of meal replacement shakes for the week.  I'd have done the exact same myself and some people drink meal replacement shakes for free as a way to lose weight.  Plus regardless of what happens now, Katie and Priya have each won $10,000.

Getting back to Skye, Channel 9 has listed the seven moments we're in love with her and it's total rubbish, not all of us are in love with her, and it has nothing to do with her hair colour.  It's because she is incredibly thick and it's hard to watch someone that genuinely dumb who doesn't realise that at the end of it people will be laughing at her.  Unfortunately because she's a dumb bimbo the media will latch onto her, because women aren't allowed to be smart in the media.  Just look at the reporting of Kate's pregnancy, today there was a story about how she wants a third baby by the time she is 35, what about featuring stories about women who don't want children, who want a career more than babies?  Where are these stories?  Are women not allowed to have ambitions beyond nappy changing and staying at home?
