How Many Eggs In A Dozen?
CBB6 Day SixteenI am transmitting this thought to the housemates by the use of new science, involving extra sensory perception, CGI, and revolutionary, 21st century, mind waves.
STOP! Stop the absurd and irritating conversations/rants about the desperation you have to leave the 'house within a studio'. You agreed to do this! You were not woken up at 4.00am and taken to Elstree whilst blindfolded and handcuffed. There are no snipers guarding the fences next to Tesco. There are, indeed, no electrified fences. You don't need to dig a tunnel.
All you have to do is follow Mutya's path and simply say, "I think I'll go now, thanks very much." What's that you say? Your fee? The financial penalty clauses for walking out?
You signed the contract. Get on with it.
The edit for the one hour highlight show is carried out with a guillotine. If something doesn't work, it is dropped without explanation. The Men vs Women task can't have been much of a goer as we only saw two of the six 'tasks within a task', and even the ironing, multi-task affair was a bit limp.
In addition, it was all very odd how we skimmed over the point that three of the women couldn't be fussed to get involved with the 'spider in a room but not in a room' aspect. We saw LaToya and Michelle shriek a little, and then the chaps huddled together, and then... nothing happened.
Strange, but it did, of course, ratify the already well known fact (to 50% of the population) that men are, obviously, better than women.
It was possible to warm towards Mutya when she wasn't griping, or wearing that spotty gown. She decided to leave, and did so with dignity, and without the hysterical dramatics of some of her colleagues.
Michelle, yet again, was flooding the bedroom with tears, as she had to go 'because' of Coolio. Except, she didn't go. Again.
LaToya has a remarkable hold over Coolio. He listens, and then follows her advice and instructions to the letter. Incidentally, have you noticed a strange mannerism that Coolio displays when he has a significant point to make? He sits at the table. He draws in a deep breath and makes some 'profound' statement, designed to make everyone else's collective jaws drop. He then can't help but leap up from the table and stride around as his oratory sinks in. He paces about waiting for the reaction, and, of course, this action adds to the dramatic effect, and everyone gets drawn into thinking that he has just said something so important, that the world has stopped turning for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, I have to go off to Wikipedia now. I need to check exactly how many eggs there are in a dozen.
