Big Brother is an example. Spent last summer lusting after Liam. Still like Pete from the year before. Or was it the year before that? I lose track of these things. Then there was Anthony. Thick as shit but you would.

Am hoping I dislike them all intensely this year. It's better fun that way.

Liam's face was too flat for me and I thought he was too cock-sure of himself. He didn't treat his love conquest very well either. Pete had a certain charm, in as much as I wanted to take care of him, but that kind of took the edge off my lust.

Anthony - oh yes I would.

If you though my taste was questionable regarding Michael, you might be aghast to know I quite liked Kevin too. I was greatly troubled that as opposing team leaders one of them was likely to be sacked.

And for the record I thought there was only a passing resemblance to the only gay in the village.

Kevin was useless but he made a costly error by not bringing that Jenny Celery (or whatever her name is) into the boardroom.

It was her lame idea to have a save the planet theme, and I think he could have persuaded Suralan that she should have gone.

PS Does this thread raise the prospect of a Metropol Big Brother thread this year ?

I've been watching it since they started showing the US version on BBC2, and am hooked.Lucinda is my personal favourite. I find that it always makes watching more enjoyable when you have your eye on somebodym, Mikey is very dishy.

Hope not, this is already scraping the bottom of the mediocrity barrel.

Hmmm. A Big Brother thread. Gavin? Hyma? What you think?

As long as it didn't atract Digital Spy types...

Don't think so, Jez has loathed Big Brother for the last couple of seasons.

*looks around*

Well that episode was highly satisfying, two bitches one stone. And a classic quip from Margaret as ever.

Yup, fantastic show as ever, and great to see Alpha winning as all my faves are in that team. Sara is coming out her shell a bit now, she really is good and I think a lot of the venom aimed towards her last week was more to do with the rest of them trying to get rid of the quiet one (who could slip under Sir Alan's radar and get all the way to the end) - now that she's had praise from Margaret, I think they'll take her a bit more seriously and actually listen to her.

Who's next to go? I reckon Alex is living on borrowed time, he just strikes me as a very unlikeable person. I'm getting fed up of Claire's face and her constant whining too. I'm still putting my money on a Lee vs. Lucinda final, hopefully with Lucinda winning because she's just the fabbest person ever (especially in her matching pink hat and skirt).

Poor Lucinda. She's not being treated very well but I wish she would be a bit firmer. Its not that she isn't being shown "support", she's been sidelined for the last two weeks.

Michael hates cars. He's a man after my own heart. He's an aggresive little sales boy though. I know lots of Michaels.

I still would, though.

Lee and Alex are utterly useless, aren't they.

Oh, Nick has just agreed with me.

Why am I doing a Tumble Tower commentary?
