Sorry, another Big Brother blog, it seems my opinions change daily!
Almost the end for Big Brother and I’m sort of glad really. It’s all leading to a predictable ending with Pete winning. Whilst Pete seems to be everybody’s ‘darling’ housemate it isn’t the same on the Big Brother forums. I’ve read some interesting opinions that ring true and make a lot of sense. Their does seem to be a feeling regarding ‘What Pete wants, Pete gets’ in the sense of the closing weeks of Big Bro have revolved around him to a degree. In my opinion Endemol who make Big Bro obviously see Pete as their pivotal housemate, a ratings victor loved by all, a clear winner from the starting blocks. Thus they have recently structured the show around him, two clear examples spring to mind, the letter from home, which he was initially denied for changing stances on the prison task and of course the re-introduction of his beloved Nikki to the show – after she was evicted.
Reading the forums it’s quite refreshing to read not everyone is behind Pete, a lot do like Glyn and the others too but I fear it’s still a one horse race. Pete has indeed, and to be fair unwittingly got his way courtesy of Endemol. After all, when their star man sulks (which he often does) he doesn’t become their star man anymore, so therefore a happy Pete is an entertaining ratings winner Pete.
So, to end this series on a high note with a cheesy romance, Nikki is put back into the house, Pete’s happy, the majority of the people are gushing about the romance but the realists are seeing it all for what it really is.
The thing that unnerves me is the fact that Nikki Pete's babe has returned to the house knowing Pete was the clear favourite to win. I have to ask the question of does the self confessed wannabe footballer’s wife really love Pete or does she shrewdly recognise the fact that sticking close to the winner and spawning a romance will net all those lucrative magazine deals? I wonder how long the romance will prevail once the cameras are taken away and the initial magazine and tabloid fervour ends?
The tabloids have today revealed photos of Nikki in the buff, taken shortly before Big Bro began, clear evidence the petite blonde has fame in her sights – whatever it takes.
And then there’s the other housemates, one connected to and groomed by Max Clifford, two with possible pending criminal convictions, another that started a hunger strike on leaving the house, one with deep psychological problems – the list goes on. Looking back across the housemates I have to say have this years housemates been a cross section of the British public? Have we had Jack the bricklayer from Bolton, Fred the pensioner from Tooting, Maggie the accountant, Geoff the taxi driver – the answer is of course no.
What started out as a reality show with a psychological slant has now become a platform for wannabe stars instead of an insight into the great British public. It’s a shame that Big Bro will never be able to go back to that unpredictable ground breaking first series.
Pete exclaimed yesterday that he had a dream that his mate in heaven who said he’d win, the thing is – Pete will win but that’s not because he’s so remarkable, it’s merely because of the motley crew he’s been locked up with over the weeks are hardly any competition.
I wish Pete well, he’s a nice sensitive sort of guy that’s very funny and entertaining. He will win, mainly because he is the best housemate among a dire cast. He’ll also get some degree of sympathy vote because of his tourettes though I hope people have gotten past that and see him for the entertainer he is. Lastly Pete will win because the people behind Big Bro want him to win and are doing all in their power to make it possible.
