Get OUT, Stupid-Head!

I'm so happy. If there was one person throughout this season of Big Brother who's really been annoying me to the gills on an almost-daily basis, it's been two people. One of them is Krystal (if you count the amount of Daily Show appearances she makes where she's applying make-up and compare them to the number of Daily Show appearances she makes where she isn't, you'll be flummoxed by what it tells you), and the other, of course, is Katie.




I don't want to start comparing her to 2003 BB winner Reggie, because at least Reggie was entertaining and not at all bitchy with her stupidity. But both Krystal and Katie consider themselves more intelligent than they are, and re-tell other people's conversations incorrectly when recounting them to third parties later (always in a way that makes the other person look either cruel, mean, stupid or arrogant), which is a disgraceful way to stab someone in the back.

Their continual misrepresentation of the facts when talking about other Housemates is something that drove me nigh-on-insane with anger. Her security issues with Jamie was something else that piqued my immense frustration with her. And her inability to see how disinclusive she and Jamie were being (and why it's valid that the lovebirds would be resented for this) was just the icing on the cake.

I will admit to feeling very much as though it was going to be David's turn to go this week, but was delighted when he was sent back into the House from the newly renamed 'Exit Room' (previously the Revenge Room). I was absolutely stoked that the irritating twosome was going to be split up, and because good guy Jamie (and yes, I really do think he's a great guy) is a million times more enjoyable to watch on a daily basis without sending my blood pressure through the roof, the result we saw play out was my top preference.

Again we find ourselves facing the ever-diminshing female contingent of Housemates. Naturally enough (but kind of surprisingly), there are three more Intruders going in to the House on Wednesday. Two girls and a guy. Presumably one will be evicted again before the week is up? I'm not sure. Looks like we have a couple more double evictions ahead of us, though. Maybe even a triple eviction. But it's no surprise at all that two of these Intruders are also girls. The ratio is dropping far too rapidly (even though I've been 'all for' the eviction of a couple of the girls so far, such as Katie and Karen). It's going to be interesting to see if these new Intruders, if they are evicted in a relatively short time, will win the larger amount of prizes the more recent evictees have been winning. Car? Holiday? Scooter? If they only stay in there two weeks, you've got to wonder if that's far, considering what Elise, Tilli and Karen won for their two and three week stints.

I'm really glad David is still in the House. His little show of brotherly support in saving Ashely with his three point twist was a noble gesture that seemed to work its magic with the voting public. (Or people were just way too sick of Katie regardless.) Now I'm going to be very interested to see if Ashley nominates David again for the rest of his stay in the House. And will David continue to hold a passive-agressive dominance over the House? I hope so. Don't worry, Ms Fits; I still love David as well. I'm also a fan of Camilla and John, though.

And that leaves us with the 'problem' of what to expect from Jamie now that Katie is gone. Let's be fair; the two of them have really fallen for each other and I'm sure it's 100% genuine. I wish them all the best on the outside (better you than me, though, mate -- her insecurities would drive me nuts!). He will naturally feel upset and angry that she's gone, so I'm going to be generous and allow him two days to mope around about it and mourn his loss. By Wednesday, however, I expect him to be back on his hap-hap-happy feet and having fun again. Before the new Intruders come in.

If he bounces back earlier than that, fantastic. If he's still being a Negative Nancy on Wednesday, though ... I shall be very annoyed. I look forward to seeing him behaving as himself so I can determine whether or not I like Jamie the man, rather than having to assess my view of him as Jamie the one-half-of-Jamie-and-Katie.

Let's hope he's not two-dimensional without Katie. I'm looking for a male Housemate to be evicted next, and although I think it'd be really weak and sooky of Jamie to elect to 'walk' from the game in protest over Katie's eviction or something, if he doesn't prove himself to be an interesting guy when he's not doting over his girl, I'll be quite happy to see him gone next week.

You're on notice, Jamie.
