Susannah Sandwiches: SOLD OUT

I must be honest: For a blonde, Susannah’s quite attractive. To me. Someone who’s usually attracted to brunettes. But she’s only somewhat attractive in a purely superficial way. I don’t think there’s terribly much to like about her as a person.

It pains me to say this, but if I was in the Big Brother House with Susannah and she was doing as little as she was seen to be doing for the past six weeks, I’d have been angry with her ‘princess’ tag and want to nominate her for eviction as well.

I don’t like siding with the likes of Emma and co, but on this point I’m in full agreement with them. Susannah could have done SOMETHING around the place, instead of lazing about and expecting the others to do everything for her.

Apart from that, the only thing of note about Susannah is the fact that at least two of the boys in the House (Thomas and Zoran) were highly attracted to her. Despite her having a boyfriend on the ‘outside’. Of course, her mouth said one thing about being taken, and her actions and flirtation said another thing entirely. So I’m not too surprised that Thomas in particular found the line a bit blurred and confusing. I’m not suggesting his sleazy attempts to elicit a declaration of love for him out of her were okay and not embarrassing for everyone, but she certainly didn’t help matters by the continual hugging and touching and flirting.

That being said, it’s interesting to note how well Zoran and Thomas got along (and continue to get along – they shared a literally three-minute hug, with one or both of them absolutely sobbing – after Susannah’s eviction last night). When you consider that in effect they were vying for Susannah’s affections and time – and frequently saw each other as a threat to becoming her best bud in the House – they both speak quite highly of each other. I’d have expected them to be mortal enemies, perpetually trying to out-champion each other to win Susannah’s admiration like it’s some schoolyard competition.

Maybe Thomas and Zoran are secretly attracted to each other as well? Perhaps they were actually hoping to start something between the three of them!


Poor Little Princess: Without Thomas and Zoran to cuddle
up to, Susannah will have to settle for her boyfriend again.

Whatever their motive, I’m glad we’re not (and haven’t so far been) subjected to boring old “angry guy versus angry guy” dramas where the two blokes try to out-do each other to win the girl. That would have been plain unbearable.

It's interesting to recall her 'selling point' upon being voted into the House on Opening Night. She was the 'fun thirty year-old', remember? Well, it quickly became redundant once she was in there, and she easily fitted into the twenty-something attitude and lifestyle of her fellow Housemates. She was 7% plastic and 93% slacker.

So Susannah’s out of the House now, and she’s been reunited with her boyfriend, Anthony (who she only started dating six weeks before entering the House). I hope she’s happy with him – and I hope he’s happy with her.

I wonder if the show has opened his eyes as to how little she’s willing to do around the house?
