The pursuit of Solitude is an interesting thing. Every weekend I have this plan to retire into the flat and not see or speak to anyone - it's not like a desperate need or anything, just something I want to do for a change. But inevitably, it doesn't happen. I don't know what it is that causes the mismatch between the desire for alone time and the willingness to give it up. Most odd.
Entertainingly (yes, *more* Big Brother), right at this minute, Sophie is the most popular housemate, according to the ratings entered on the Big Brother website.
Well over a dozen people have arrived here having searched for some variation on the phase "Jade Big Brother Pig Picture or Photo", and I'm starting to feel quite guilty that they've been disappointed.
So to make up for it - here is one.
A few observations in the wake of last night's Big Brother task (I know - I'm sad and obsessive....).
First off, it having been noted that the team just needed to get one question right in order to have the additional chance to get the divide down, am I the only one who thought Dim's joy at answering correctly was all about him getting to 'live rich' and nothing to do with the team objective?
I tried to name the housemates in order at the same time as Kate, and freakily, I missed out exactly the same ones that she did.
Afterwards, the generally supportive attitude towards her was noticably broken by Alex, who smugly announced that he could have done better. I've never been that keen on him, but now I'm starting to get decidely annoyed.
Still, it's nice to see that (at long last) it's looking like everyone is wising up to Jade. I reckon she'll be nominated and evicted this week.
Not taking unexpected shifts in the model by Big Brother into account, I reckon the final four will be Jonny, Kate, Adele and Alex. At the moment, I'm feeling the most kindly-disposed towards Jonny or Kate to win, but that'll probably shift again in the weeks to come.
