Druggie Big Brother

It’s Flashback Friday.  Every Friday we bring back a golden oldie article from yesteryear. A chance for you to re-read it and see if it is still relevant today!

It was interesting that the druggie won Celebrity Big Brother. This guy Bez, who is so addicted to ‘weed’ that he was having extreme problems holding himself back from hurting other contestants or smashing the place up, as he was going through the withdrawal, captured the public vote. Maybe that says more about them than it does him.

He’d been so worried about being separated from his drugs that he’d discussed secretly smuggling tabs of ‘E’ into the house by putting them in a plastic bag up his bottom. One assumes he didn’t. He’d even brought with him some St John’s Wort in the hope that by taking it he would be able to ease the withdrawal, but that obviously failed as it wasn’t long before he was making menacing faces at the camera and getting quite frighteningly aggressive for no real reason. I’m sure I’ve seen that aggression and desperation on the faces of people who have mugged me before, I assume to pay to feed their habit.

I’ve never understood why people give beggars their spare change so that they can go and spend it on drink or drugs, yet the public decided that Bez should win the £40K prize plus his £40K appearance fee, and you just have to wonder how high you can get on that! There’ll be a potential mountain of pills to take, powders to snort, and plants to smoke. Well done the British public.

Meanwhile, back at the game, it was interesting how the public always do this thing of getting rid of any real characters and personalities. They leave behind the people who are either bland or twisted in some sad way that isn’t funny. You end up with no real characters and so nothing to watch.

The greatest star from Celebrity Big Brother was racing pundit John McCririck with his completely free thinking independent and rude attitude. He was excellent, and is excellent. His fight with Big Brother over the supplying of Diet Coke was pure comedy, and his outspoken attitudes when everybody else was being so politically correct made him the real winner. This man is a comedy genius and deserves to front Diet Coke ads for the rest of his life at an extremely fat fee.

As for the rest, well with McCririck gone, Kenzie should have won. He probably added so much more to the house than any of the others, and actually came in with an open mind. He had to do a lot of adapting and learning in order to mix with the rest, so made the biggest effort. He was quick witted and the sequences whilst dressed as an egg were divine comedy moments. He came second, but was robbed.

He was outvoted by the druggie supporters who probably voted for Bez because they remember their hazy smashed days of the late 80s and early 90s when they were always high, feeling some form of empathy for the junkie, whilst having little or no appreciation of what Kenzie actually brought to the house. Shame on them.

  1. Where you do find time to watch this crap?

    I don't know why I still have a TV. I can't remember the last time I sat down to watch something. I could save myself the outrageous licence fee by simply unplugging the aerial.
