BIG BROTHER RANT !

I’m a huge fan of Big Brother always have been. I remember the very first series when the lovely Liverpudlian Craig Philips won, ahhhh the memories it was such a lovely ending when he announced he was giving his £70k prize to a friend who had Down Syndrome, hearts melted everywhere.  No one deserved the prize as much as Craig did he was just a sound lad. There was something fascinating and addictive about this show.   Watching people bicker, make friends, fall in love it satisified the nosey side of our personalities. Fast forward to 2017 and over the years it has kind of lost some of its charm. The contestants have to be strange and out there, and have become very hard to relate to and I would consider myself to be pretty OUT THERE ! .   Of late I’ve missed a few seasons and have steered more towards the Celebrity version. I always enjoy Celebrity Big Brother some seasons I think I won’t get into it but somehow it draws me in each time. Last years toxic romance between Stephanie and Jeremy captured my attention for months after, I was glued to the social media war they had to each other just waiting to see how it would pan out.

However today I caught up on last nights episode and instead of making me giggle or intrigue me, I actually felt really guilty almost like I was part of a wrong doing on someone that someone being Kim Woodburn.   I felt watching a 76 year old woman have a melt down and be physically removed from the house really sad. This is a woman who obviously has issues and has been on self destruct since entering the house.  Some of the stuff she has said really made no sense and a lot of the time I really questioned was she in her full senses. I even found myself hoping someone would go in and save her, take her out of the house. Call me a softie but as bad as she was I just thought it was awful seeing her so full of aggression and anger. She didn’t seem to have any awareness of how she was behaving. I don’t know lots about this lady, but I quite liked her show How Clean its your Home? I found her eccentric and funny. But her appearance in Big Brother has been just wrong. Its not nice to see someone do themselves such an injustice. And while I can understand the contestants standing up for themselves, I hated when they gave out to her, it was like nothing they said registered with her and they were all sticking together while she had no one.    I felt  bad for her when Spencer and her had a war of wills over a door being opened, he knew he was tormenting her. I think out of respect for her age alone he should have just given her a break. I really hoped that today she would be at home with her family being minded.   It really wasn’t the right environment for her to be in.  However apparently she has returned to the house which I think even for her health is a bad move.  I love reality TV but sometimes the line of what is acceptable is overstepped and I think last night was one of those times.9cef715b6104dd8ee2071d2185ebb22e

And while i’m being all high and mighty here and feeling bad for this lady, you may ask will I be tuning in tonight…………………………………….. HELL YEAH !
