Throng

Did any of you want to hurl and/or scrub yourself with bleach after you watched Angel and Halfwit kissing and dirty dancing? I certainly did. It was one of the ickiest things I’ve ever, ever seen! I truly believe Angel’s not playing with a full deck and has the potential to be seriously freaky-mental. She really is scarily weird and I’m very glad I’m not locked in a house with her!

However, in last night’s Channel 4 highlights show we saw the events of Halfwit’s birthday celebrations unfold and every bit as weird and cringe-making as his and Angel’s kissing was the ‘freeform’ performance the housemates came up with to pass their task…

The ‘music’ was horrific, the singing was like hearing the slaughter of dozens of cats and the ‘coming to life’ thing made me go red and I wasn’t even there…

Further butt-clenching came when Halfwit was told to speak for 15 minutes about himself; “I was born with a brain…” though I’d have to argue with him there, but anyway, he continued, “with very little understanding of social signals.

“If I’d been aware of social signals, it would’ve crushed me. I've always been a bit different. I didn't notice people calling me stupid” What? Even when they had really big banners that said so?

Anyway, he carried on and on, but fortunately, we didn’t hear more than a couple of minutes of it. Near the end he said, “When I sing I go to a special place where there's just joy” with that trademark coat hanger smile on his face...

The thing is, lately, I’ve been warming to Halfwit a tad. When he’s not doing his ‘yeah man, like wow, like, yah’ stuff, he’s actually quite a nice person and he clearly doesn’t have a malicious bone in his body. He’s certainly bitchy when he wants to be but I don’t think there’s any real nastiness there, so he’s done a bit of U-turn on me in that regard.

Another housemate of whom I’ve completely changed my opinion is Sree. In the first week or so, I thought he was a really nice, innocent and pleasant young man but now I think he’s a letch, a stirrer, a narcissist and a whiner.

His running to the diary room to ask BB to intervene with first Noirin and last night, Marcus, on his behalf is pathetic. It’s like a little kid going to teacher and saying, “They’re picking on me.” And does he actually have a topic of conversation that isn’t about himself? If he has, I don’t think I’ve ever heard it. He’s forever asking everyone what they think of him, if they like him, what they like and why and he’s also forever looking at himself in the mirrors. He clearly thinks he’s something special and also clearly thinks everyone else should think so too, most notably, Noirin.

He’s annoyed that she doesn’t feel the same way about him as he does about her and where at first I felt sorry for his feelings, I now think they’re just based on arrogance. He can’t get his head around the fact that Noirin isn’t attracted to him. What a pratt! And his very lame ‘toying’ with Charlie was hideous to watch. When he stroked Charlie’s neck and said, “Do you like Indian boys?” I was busy searching for lubricant so I could crawl up my own backside and die.

It was obvious that he was doing it to try to be funny and to take the pi** out of someone else as they’d been doing with him but he is not blessed with natural humour and he just made himself look a total tool. I really hope he’s up for eviction this week because his sleaziness and efforts to be the house’s pity vote are really nauseating now.

Mind you, I feel much the same about Marcus. He too thinks he’s Gods gift to women and he too can’t see any good reason why Noirin shouldn’t want him and he too has an ego bigger than his IQ. His and Sree’s row – of which there seems to be at least one a day – ended up with Karly giving her twopennorth on Marcus’s constant referrals to boobs and arses which emboldened Sree no end. Get ‘em both out I say!

However, returning to events in the house and it was a very nice moment when Halfwit selected Noirin to receive the Gift of Normality wasn’t it? She can now stop drawing on her glasses and moustache, bless.

I’m really looking forward to tonight’s Channel 4 highlights show when I’m hoping an official announcement will be made about whether it’s true that nominations tomorrow will be aired live. And not only live, but made in front of each other! Yay! Fingers crossed that it is in fact true!
