After the slight peak in interest
levels that Carol's warning caused in the previous episode, I was
looking forward to Sunday night's show.
The first ten minutes of the show seems to consist of Courtney and Lauren compete over who can change their outfit the most over the course of the day.
As expected, the housemates are asked to complete a 'guess the public's opinion' type task. Each housemate reveals three 'facts' about themselves and then identify which one the public have voted as the most interesting. Will I list each of the housemates' facts and tell you which one was voted the most interesting? No, as I didn't find any of the tit-bits that BB provided particularly interesting or shocking.
Task highlights-
1. We see Sophie Anderton scald BB for making Charlotte read out that she regularly has sex on camera for a reality TV show, to which Charlotte unashamedly replies that it's true. I'm pretty sure I've read headlines, albeit in News of the World, declaring that Sophie worked as a call girl to feed her coke habit, so I'd hold off on the judgement if I were you Sophie. Also, even if that rumour is bullshit, which coming from the News of the World there is a high probabilty that it will be, it would be nice if Sophie showed a bit of female solidarity and remembered how unpleasant it is to be called a whore.
2. Courtney tells us that she met her husband online. This is news to me, but really, where else would a 16 year old girl and a 50 year old man meet?
3. Apparently, Lauren tried to sue the government for ruining the economy.
* Lowlight* Listening to Ron croon his Christmas single (who knew?)
It's then time for the Temple Trio to convene and pick another housemate to face this week's public vote. We're told by BB that they have convened secretly, however given that they were rumbled by Mario in yesterday's show, I suspect that their meeting is as subtle as Courtney's breasts.
They eventually decide on Irish Reality Star Danielle, citing Sophie's suspicion that “she's here with the intention of becoming famous” as their reason. Again, you're hardly selling arena tours yourself, are you Sophie? So maybe just *Ross from Friends be quiet signal*.
After this things quiet down a bit. Louie fulfils yet another gay stereotype by eagerly feeling Courtney's boobs in the toilet and branding them “very good”, Ron sings some more and Lauren dons yet another dress that puts her at permanent risk of 'nip slip'.
It's about that time in the show again; it's time for a warning for possible racism! In all seriousness, I don't want to trivialise this, as this time the warning was well deserved. The recipient? Ron, of course! Why? Because in response to seeing Danielle wearing a jumper around her head, he thought “You haven't got a bomb have you?” was an appropriate response.
Ron delivers a standard apology and says that he would never want to offend anyone with his language seeing as his young grand-daughter would be watching. I find the last bit pretty irrelevant, as I'm almost certain that his grand-daughter is not devoted to a religion in which wearing a headscarf is part of her faith, but hey, I might be wrong. He continues to say that he has been trying to be aware of offending people whilst in the house. Great job so far.
BB tell the housemates that Danielle will also be facing the public vote this week and she cries.
Continuing her self-set mission to piss off as many housemates as she can in 24 hours, Sophie now sets her sights on Carol. Discussing Carol's desire to have a facelift, Sophie rather repeatedly asks “Does your fiance shag you senseless?” Despite ignoring the question for the first three times that Sophie slurs it at her, Carol gives in and cries “That's none of your business!” Quite. Also, it's not in anyway relevant. Whether a man wants to have sex with you or not shouldn't really hold much bearing on your decision as to whether you have plastic surgery, so again, shut it Sophie.
It's also at this point that I realise I've been spelling Louie's name wrong for the last four days, so sorry about that.
My breath catches when I see the housemates encouraging Ron to don a baseball cap and act like a rapper- that's risky guys, real risky.
I breathe again when we see Charlotte chatting to Carol about having sex on TV. I'm pleased to see that Carol is displaying a minimum amount of judgement. I've watched Geordie Shore and if seeing a duvet wiggle around for a few minutes is having sex on TV then I don't see what the fuss is about.
The show ends with Sophie trying to offer Abz some slurred words of wisdom. I'm fairly sure that if he hadn't meditated earlier he would be telling her to fuck off, particularly when she tells him that “being quiet means you get missed”. And in your case Sophie, not being quiet means you won't be missed by anyone when you are eventually booted out.
My favourite moment from tonight's show? Seeing Vicky, Charlotte and Danielle's face when they realise that Courtney's 60lbs weight includes her massive silicone breasts.
