Peanut Butter Chicken Love
CBB6 Day Two
There is an increasing bewilderment surrounding LaToya, or '52 year old Latoya' as Marcus Bentley rather unsportingly referred to her. Drifting around in her pink pyjamas, she has both an air of poise and yet a strange sort of detachment. We were given an insight into what may be the key problem that she and her siblings have endured over the years, when she told us (twice) that "I'm not used to being with people outside my own family"
Ex Boy Scout Coolio has quickly settled into the love god role, but, oddly, we learned that the last time he met Verne they had some sort of set-to. A rather unlikely scenario, which was somewhat brushed over when Mr Coolio suddenly promised his colleagues that he would cook them his signature dish - Peanut Butter Chicken Love.
Quite what happens with the peanut butter, we are yet to learn, but I think that we can be sure of one thing. It is doubtful that the chicken shares the 'love' aspect, being an involuntary contributor to this food feast.
Meanwhile, Tommy seemed shocked by the whole 'token for an hour in the company of a hair straightener' thing. Realistically, on a personal level, Tommy does not need to worry about such issues, as his bonce would require about a five second burst with a hair straightener, and he would be all done.
Terry Christian seems rather likeable, with his 'civilian qualities' an' all. The problem with the 'here we go again' formatting of Big Brother was exposed again, when Michelle quickly guessed the 'King/Head of the House' gambit. Although Terry told us he has gained a new found respect for authority, he didn't impress Ulrika when he quoted Brendan Behan to the group. Ulrika veers between two personality traits - some insightful and intriguing reflections on life, and some sneering asides both to and about her BB chums. This may upset the chilled balance to which some of the housemates aspire. Coolio said he doesn't see any prospect of the traditional Big Brother fake/real dilemma emerging. Uh-huh Coolio, Uh-huh.
Let us return to the interaction between the enigmatic Coolio and the ladeees. His rather awkward chat up lines with LaToya were delivered as he strode around in small circles of about a yard in diameter. Perhaps this was meant to spin her dizzy with lurve, but it just left her blinking uncomprehendingly, in her pink jim-jams, which were strangely worn over her day clothes. Coolio told LaToya that he figured she is a very private person, a remark to which, subscribers to a certain adult magazine may find hard to agree. The poor fellow then dug himself deeper into this huge hole of awkwardness by revealing to the ever less interested Ms Jackson that he has the ummm.... adult... errrr.... functions of a 25 year old.
Finally, today, we must also pay tribute to the charitable offer Coolio made to the female contingent of the House. As if he had transformed himself into a male Mother Theresa, he kindly offered to help the ladies unpack their underwear.
"We'll give you a call" was the universal reply.
