the cartoon phase
CBB5 Day Seventeen
Who would ever thought we could find a common link between Jade and the pin-up of the Premiership Football coaches?
Yet today, after her hand-wringing interview in the News of the World, Jade Goody finds herself in the same position as José Mourinho's current Chelsea side - no defence...
Reflecting back on the insubstantial eviction on Friday, it was very helpful of Davina, the new Professor Emeritus of International Languages at the University of Elstree, to draw a link between 'democracy', and viewers phoning in to evict a celebrity from the back-end of a television studio complex in Hertfordshire.
This, of course, must have been what Aristotle was musing upon as he studied under Plato in Ancient Greece.
In his works on Metaphysics, Aristotle tried to unravel the mystery of the unity of beings. He would have had his work cut out in the Big Brother House.
The house has moved in from its weird Eraserhead era, to a more bizarre, surreal cartoon phase. The inmates have evolved into characters form the 1970s tea-time favourite, Wacky Races.
With Shilpa as Penelope Pitstop. Penelope would sometimes antagonise and alarm the other racers as she put on her make-up during the race, and her car (the Compact Pussycat no less!) had been adapted to cater for all her grooming needs.
H from Steps is a sort of camp Peter Perfect and Jo & Danielle are the Gruesome Twosome in the Creepy Coupé.
...and although it's typecasting, how could we not have Jack as Muttley, and Dirk as Dick Dastardly?
I was looking at the description of Wacky Races at the Internet Movie Database. It says, "The rules are extremely lax and allow for... a wide range of tactics". There we are - an ideal fit for BB!
