Loopy, Lying Laura Losing It & Lucks Out



It's getting pretty tiring watching so many chicks take a bullet this season, but if that's the way the voting public wants it to be, that's the way the producers of the show should honour it.

I know Big Brother has the right to change the rules at any time, but that doesn't mean he's right to exercise that right. As far as the the voters are concerned, they apparently WANT the girls out who've been voted out. You may disagree with the decision, but you can't fault the argument that that's BEEN the decision. Those who have a beef with the evicted Housemates need to vote (or vote more often).

So to turn it on its head like this makes a farce out of the whole voting system in the first place, and invalidates the idea that the surviving Housemates are the ones the viewers want to stay in the House.

Don't get me wrong; I think it's crazy how many female Housemates have been shown the sliding door, but by making the nominations an all-boy event, the producers have removed any semblance of the public having the power over the Housemates.

Not to mention that they then allowed the female housemates to nominate without being nominated. The LEAST the producers could have done would have been to have the boys nominate each other and leave it at that. Bringing the girls in as well only served to further inbalance the nomination process. That's why the Intruders don't nominate until they can BE nominated!

I think BB's made a dog's breakfast of the whole situation, and then pretended it's a sexual inequality thing to try to cover their knee-jerk reaction.

If the House is going to be too boring with all males living in it, let the public discover that to their own peril! Don't steer their hand involuntarily to suit your own purposes! More maybe the producers should learn that the public isn't interested in a pack of girls who'll bitch and moan all the time - clearly that's what the voters have been saying in recent weeks.

Put some women in the House who bring something other than the ability to gossip and have a meltdown. If the producers think they aren't out there, they're not doing a very good job of canvassing their auditionees.

I don't particularly care for Andrew, Billy, Zoran, Zach or Thomas, but Jamie, Joel and Travis are good value (IMHO) - and I don't like that the general make-up of the House has been tainted in this pathetic attempt to 'redress the sexual inequality issue'. Dude, you just crossed that same line yourself by holding an all-male nominations night. You massive, ridiculous tool.

But whatever. I'm annoyed at BB's decision but I know I'll just sound like a whinging guy when I say that. But I'm not stnaind up for my gender - I'm standing up for the whole idea of the public spending their money on saving the Housemates they want to save. The male Housemates were right last night when they said it should have been all male Housemates up at once, or no change at all. And I'd add to that, that the female Housemates shouldn't have nominated if they couldn't BE nominated.

Because there were males nominated every time a female got evicted, this change to the nomination process is an effective slap in the face of all those voters who've paid 55 cents per vote to evict or save who they wanted to evict or save.

Sure, I would have preferred some of the girls who've been evicted NOT to have gone, but we've always had to accept the results as they've come in -- why can't the BB producers accept them as well?!

Moving on to Sunday night's eviction: Laura.


Laura's Lies Belied The Truth.


I can't say that I particularly care she's been evicted.

So I won't.

i liked laura and i liked watching her. she was different. i'm sick of all the blandies doing well. i really don't want travis to win only because (while he's a good guy and all) that's all he is. i'm glad andrew is gone cause he's another good guy.

i wouldn't mind jamie winning though i think he plays himself up a bit. zoran is pretty bland and speaks too quickly. michelle while not bland makes me want to stab her through the screen and clokes and i shout at her to shut up whenever she starts up with her yelling thing. aleisha i quite like, but also bland. billy. bland, but i like him too. daniela, i don't like. too obvious.

to win? i want zach. i like him. i think he's real. and he's different. not bland. obviously pretty likeable and popular with the coolsie group.

that's all.
