The Duke's Thoughts On Big Brother 5 - Week One
Published June 05, 2004
There's a lot of suggestion in the editing that implies Big Brother hopes they do, too.
Last night, the housemates played a game of Spin The Bottle, and not only was Dan dared to kiss Jay, but Dan was also dared to lick chocolate spread from Jay's arse.
It was like in The Adventures Of The Hobbits when you wanted Sam and Frodo to forget their inhibitions and sex the bejeezus out of each other.
Anyway, tonight was the first of this series' evictions. What usually happens is that the housemates all nominate someone, and then the folks with the most votes are put to the public, so to speak. We all phone in, and whoever gets the most votes is booted the fuck out.
What happened tonight though was somewhat different.
The star of the first week has undoubtedly been a militantly anarchistic young lesbian by the name of Kitten. I'm guessing 80% of folks in the UK know who this Kitten character is. That's not bad, man, for someone who's only been on TV once, and only for a week. And it wasn't even the news, man. It was Big Brother, for fucks sakes. And yet most folks will tell you about this demented lass who should be kicked the hell out.
Kitten, y'see, broke eight of the house's nine rules in her first week. A couple nights ago, she was given her second formal warning, and told that if she received another, a housemate would be evicted at Big Brother's discretion.
This was a stunningly slick move on behalf on the Big Brother folks. For one thing, it throws a load of pressure in there. It's not just about Kitten can do what she wants anymore, because if she goes wrecking shit again, or trying to pick the lock of the alcohol fridge, then someone else gets thrown out for it.
As someone said on the telly last night, it's like when you were in school and you, I dunno, called the teacher a motherfucker, and then the whole class were made stay in over lunch. Those looks, man, boring into the back of your skull. You motherfucker The Duke, is what the rest are thinking. I'm gonna rip your innards out for this.
Also, although BB claim that they weren't gonna have an eviction tonight, they were gonna do a similar stunt which would have meant that two of the housemates would have been kicked out for a day or two anyway. So it turns what was gonna happen anyroad into a matter for rivalry and spite.
Like if someone said, If you do that one more time, I'm gonna go and take a piss.
You were gonna take a piss anyway, man. The hell do I care? I'm still gonna write all over the mirrors and so on.

Duker, you have made more real impact more quickly than virtualy any other Blogcritics - the "award" is very well deserved. Thanks!
Bob, i'm afraid not. When i confessed my new shame to the good folks at www.derrenbrownforum.com i was greeted with an image of a hangmans rope.
I probably would've considered it, but, y'know, there was live coverage on at the time, so...
Eric, you make The Duke blush is what.
Thank you :)

Oh wow! The Duke is blogcritic of the day! How wonderful!
Thanks folks! Wow! You make The Duke feel all gooey around the blood-pump! And this just after my period of self-doubt and all. Such timing!
I have to say, though, you really should reconsider your opinion on Big Brother, The Duke. It sucks is what. Really, The Duke. you should be more insightful i feel.
