Big Brother- A Retraction

I have a confession to make. I am starting to enjoy Big Brother before you call for the men in white jackets to come take me away allow me to try and explain why. I think this years show is unlike previous years because it does not seem like I am watching Big Brother but rather that I am watching a soap. After less than a week I have identified with the characters formed my likes and dislikes and I find I am actually missing the live coverage. Yes they are an assortment of posers and oddballs but somehow the mixture of freaks has worked. They have become interesting. Though this Fridays eviction is an easy one to call (The dwarf will be slung out with a record number of votes) I don't think future evictions will be so easy you can make a case for most of the contestants to win this year. I'm sure there are plenty more twists to come regarding personality's as the contestants are still in their fake persona modes but that will be hard to sustain for 3 months and true colours will come racing through. My initial thought was that "no shoulders" Rodrigo would be the winner as he seemed the type that does well in this type of show. I refer you to the inoffensive Brian Dowling who won in 2001. But he is proving to be a bit of a snake trying to be pals with all yet quite happy to bitch to all to. I have a feeling Freddy or "half wit" as he is now known. Incidentally the name he should have originally been christened with. could be the surprise package. The eye candy continues to disappoint especially mega titted sophie who doesn't appear to have any plus points. Charlie Siavash and Ciaron (the repressed gay) I'm sure will get it on at some stage. And I cant wait for the punch up between Marcus and Angel both vying for the title alpha male. my money is on Angel. As for the others Kris has not said more than two words yet opting for the strong silent pretty boy approach. but as we have seen in previous shows that tactic is rarely successful. So as the next 3 months unwind it looks my 10pm TV schedule is locked in the planner.
