"Big Brother" ... well, there you go

 

*-*-Is it a spoiler if no one cares anymore? If so, SPOILERS-*-*

You may remember that a few months back we got a bit excited about the new season of Big Brother, which threw not one, but two gay men into the human-sized Habitrail Asylum Playset with designs on getting the guys to fall for each other. Wait, TWO token gays? And a potential showhomance? Sounds like reality gold.

Of course, we soured quickly when Gay A, Neil, vanished from the house with no real explanation. (Seriously, I still can't believe they've never addressed this.) This left Gay B, Joshuah, alone to pair with a woman (there goes the "soul mate" angle) and say and do some not-entirely-advisable things (here are a few examples, if you want to catch up).

Well, when I saw that Joshuah had been evicted last night, I went to our resident Big Brother nuts to see if anyone wanted to write about it. And guess what? No one cares. Apparently everyone's checked out this season, so I'm left to write about it, which is sort of the equivalent of having the coroner give the eulogy.

 

So Joshuah, we knew you little, and ... I guess that's kinda okay with us?

Okay, then! Let's all go back to surfing for pictures of kittens wearing funny hats.

It might be interesting to find out

precisely what happened to Neil.

 

And then maybe not.

 

This show finds a new bottom to the barrel. It enshrines lying, backstabbing, bad hair and bad clothes.

 

They ought to replace Julie Chen with Karl Rove. That would make more sense.

I figured that.....

...Neil probably figured out what an ***hole Joshuah was the first night and ran screaming. I thought James was going to give himself a nosebleed howling at Sheila the other night. But, I think it was just an act. Like this whole stupid show. I don't know why I have been watching. Oh yeah. There's not an other bloody thing on right now.

 

 

I say we take the warning labels off everything and let nature take it's course.

Why would anyone care,

 except to be relieved that he's gone.  He stood out only as an obnoxious hothead with delusions of grandeur, and to be able to do stand out in that way among this year's exceptional crop of losers is really saying something.  I did enjoy when he had a moment alone in the pool and took the time to pray to god for help with his diet and a flatter stomach.  Other than that, though, he never showed much self-awareness. 

James lost me a bit with his tantrum the other day, but he's still my fave.  Not looking good for him this week, unfortunately...
