Day 41

Caoimhe is gone. And good riddance. Never have I hated a countryman so much since Andrew Maxwell let the team down. She was bitchy, boring and devious. The world will turn without her.

Josie’s recent problem with Caoimhe was blown out of proportion and the result of a woman becoming obsessed by her love/like/hate relationship with John James (delete as applicable to the day). And on some levels I do feel that Josie needed to drop it a long time ago. But the problem is, Caoimhe knew she did something stupid by flirting with JJ and rather than tackle the problem head on she weasled away from the responsibility. Her efforts to avoid the situation were so deepset that she even threw up in the bathroom out of sheer embarrassment.

She has left to carry on her crazy love for the infamous “Dave” outside of the house. So good luck to her. Let’s hope we never hear from her again.

And don’t come back

Now that we’ve reached approximately the half way point I thought I’d go through the housemates with a quick update with my thoughts and feelings on them and how they’re doing.

ANDREW
Bless his cotton socks. I wanted to high five him when he told John James to “take it easy on Josie”. One of the few people to actually stop and think “hey psycho, stop”. Nerdy and shy he shouldnt be as entertaining as he is but it helps that he seems to be genuinely growing confidence from the experience. Could go far.

BEN
The posh git has some life in him. I thought he was in trouble from Day 1 and lets be fair he got himself into trouble since Day 1 but he has managed to endear himself not only to the housemates but to the public. He’s still desperate to be loved but his desperation is what made him human and I guess we’ve connected with that a little.

CORIN
Roll up, roll up and get your living Corin doll complete with four whole phrases! Just pull the string and hear “Oh my god”, “Loving it”, “Buzzing” and “Can’t believe it”. That’s all. Nothing else. Corin doll also comes with removable eyebrows.

DAVID
Another one who really bugged me at first but who I’ve warmed to over time. He has a similar opinion to myself about a lot of the housemates in regard to their revelry in negativity (also known as being bitchy the whole time). The only problem is, he still thinks gay marriage is immoral, I thought this would come back to bite him but obviously no-one gives a shit. It’s been while since he was up for eviction so we’ll see how he gets on.

JOHN JAMES
Dumb as a pile of rocks. His budding romance with Josie has kept me fascinated and frustrated for weeks. However, I’m tired of his anger. He’ll shout at everyone who gives him an opportunity and is obsessed with who is “real” and who isnt. He won’t let anything go and it’s exhausting. Plus, any real man would have kissed Josie by now. Seriously, grow a pair, you little girl.

JOSIE
Hello me old mucker. She has kind of lost her marbles with this John James stuff. It doesn’t help that she sucks her thumb constantly. For a woman of her age she has not handled any of this stuff like a grown up. Hasn’t really gotten many nomination votes and I can see her making it to the final. She’s my favourite to win the show but all could fall apart depending on how she reacts to the stress of her “relationship” over the next few weeks.

KEELEY
Came into the house with loads of swagger and claimed she would rule the roost. Nothing. Not a jot of that. But she has been a firm voice and a competitive spirit so she has a good place within all the kids who run about. Has a weird flirt thing going on with Steve but I would hazard that this is because she’s trying to move herself up the social ladder within the house. A go getter. Lets see if she gets it.

RACHEL
She fancies Ben… I just… I just can’t get past this.

STEVEN
Will make it to the final by default and I have a little bit of a problem with that. Ben pointed out early on that nobody will nominate him for fear of being seen as a bastard by the public. The thing is, he’s not entertainment. Yeah, he has 8 kids and he misses them but thats it. So if he wins this purely out of sympathy I’ll be pissed. That being said, his fawning over Keeley is freaking me out. Maybe something interesting will result of it.
