Big Brother 2008

Okay, first impressions. I think Kyle and Jackie O are going to do a good job with the co-hosting this year. Of course the most awkward people on the night were the ingoing housemates themselves, so I shan't complain about the hosts just yet. I still sort of miss Gretel, who has become like the poor deceased Aunt Gladys of Big Brother Australia. I wonder what she was doing last night? Getting slowly hammered and injecting botox probably. But that's just a regular Sunday night for Gretel.

The housemates were... a bit of a let-down. Wasn't it strange how they revealed like, five housemates over the last week but not the others? What was the point of that? Anyway. Terri I seem to have warmed to; nobody who cries lovingly over their ugly infant grandson is a bad person in my mind. The housemates I instantly dislike are Saxon, the big crazy doofus with the stupid tattoos (ie. "Roswell") who reminds me a bit of Crabbe/Goyle; Brigitte, the stupid peroxide blonde; Bianca, the bitch who thinks that being well-endowed in the chestal region makes her desirable; and bringing up the rear is Travis, who, DAMN. You know how sometimes you just feel like acting really immature, taking off your clothes and not giving a shit what others think about you? And how you manage to stop yourself, because doing that would make you a douche in the eyes of others? Well, Travis lacks that impulse control -- and no, it is not endearing whatsoever, so you can put that back in your word-hole. Shut up, Travis. You cocksucker.

The housemate I'm looking forward to hearing from in the Uncut/Big Mouth/Whatever show is Rory, the brickie with the dreads. He just looks like he has lots of filthy, depraved, possibly chauvinistic shit to talk about, which I may giggle heartily at. A bit of a tool, but whatever.

Ben is cute.

Rima's story about her condition had me a little confused. She says that she and her brother are the only little people in the world who don't actually have a condition, but are simply... little. As opposed to all the other little people. Her husband is HUGE, which, as I said in the previous comment thread, leaves open the door to a plethora of fellatio jokes.


Did anyone else notice that her pants were... not pants, but actually just random strips of fabric down her legs?

Oh yeah, and there were some other housemates as well, blah blah.

I wonder who will be the unlucky housemate to be kicked out in the tragic first eviction, and how will the housemates go about it? (Big Brother, you're so cruel, don't ever change. PS, your voice is different this year.)
