Little Cozy Corner

And there you go, the winner of Big Brother 08 Australia!

Who would have thought that a 52 year old grandmother who got evicted in the first eviction round but returned to the House, has won the grand prize of $250k in cash??? In any case, I say good on her! Amongst all the housemates, I think she deserves the cash prize the most. My choice was either her or the brickie with the dreadlocks, Rory. He’s qutie the cutie and omg, he is VERY well equipped too!!! *shy shy* Both come from the lower income gap so the money received would certainly be most appreciated.

Actually I can’t believe how I could sit through this and get so addicted to it! It’s like all those daily drama series that run for years on end ie. Santa Barbara, Dynasty, Knots Landing. I mean, I remember how addictive they were that my mum used to stay up and watch Santa Barbara but the end never got aired and I don’t know why. Must have been devastating! In any case, I was *never* into BB at all. In fact, I used to hate it so much. I thought it was really shallow and actually it is. But somehow, I got sucked into it and I found myself so addicted that I would actually record it to watch later if I knew I had to get Arianna ready for bed and what nots. It was just crazy! I really never saw it coming until it hit me but by then it was too late, I had crossed over to the dark side. *sigh*

That said, this year’s BB will be the last, at least for now. They have shut it down due to the lack of response given by the public and after many controversial matters in the past and continous critism, I’m not surprised that this won’t be happening again next year. In fact, Season 8 has also been dubbed as a freak show as they really had some out of the norm characters in there and the one that took the cake was, in my opinion, was Rima. A little person who broke her leg in the first Friday Night Games so she was removed from the house but did return for a short period of time bearing some rather unsettling news - there was a ‘mole’ in the house! Wow, that really stirred the pot SO much….

Anyway, even if BB did return, it is said that it will be in a different format. But how much different can it get? The main idea is that you have a bunch of people locked away from the rest of the world and you put cameras *everywhere* and watch their *every* move even when they shower! Mind you the late night show, ‘Big Mouth’ actually gives you clips of the housemates having their shower and most of the guys do bathe in the nude and that is why the whole nation knows how equip Rory is! *lol* He’s definitely got rows of girls just waiting to throw themselves at him. Ted totally hates it but has no choice but to watch it coz I watch it. Heh. He always tells me that I might as well sit at Starbucks and eavesdrop on other people’s conversations - so bad!!!!  *Pphhbbbttt!*

I really hope I don’t get sucked into this again the next time they decide to run the show….gosh, these reality TV programs are really getting out of control eh? But there has to be a limit to the number of times you air reruns of comedies and cartoons right? Right?!

Some shot of the 8 years of BB.
