The housemates (despite watching earlier editition) are still under the impression that they have some control, that their judgement of their fellow housemates is what matters and that they can maintain some form of preconceived game-plan or keep up some kind of an act for 3 months.

The truth is that as viewers will see and hear everything - they will not be fooled by any of this. And it is only the viewers judgement that matters. For no matter how many times an internally unpopular housemate is nominated - they will remain in the house if the public wish it.

When the results are announced you hear housemates saying things about the public (who have not voted out the housemates choice) like 'they just don't see what is going on in here'. The truth is that the public see only too well.....

The show tends to restore my faith in the better aspects of human nature, in that although we may not be able to vote our political bullies out of office before they do too much damage, that we do seem to ensure at least that the Big Brother bullies do not prosper.

The current favourite to win was recently seen to be horrified when another killed a bee. He later explained his love of all living things and as this was perfectly genuine, only confirmed him as hot favourite. He will win - provided of course that he does not choose to walk out before the end.........
