BB6 ends

After literally months, Big Brother 6 draws to a close. Every year I tell myself I'm not going to watch it, then every year I watch the launch and can't help but watch the whole thing.

Through the wonders of TiVo I think I've probably seen every single Channel 4 nightly roundup show, so I'm looking forward to getting back an hour of my life every day. Fortunately I avoided watching the auxiliary programming this year, along with the usual E4 live stuff.

It's certainly been an interesting year, rarely has there been so much disharmony in the house. Tensions amongst the line up of all the ex housemates on last nights' show were rather apparent. War could have broken out at any moment.

I can't say I'm particularly happy with the outcome. I surprise myself by thinking that ideally Derek should have won. Indeed he was one of the more popular contestants if last nights orgy of screaming and booing is to be considered. He acquitted himself well through most of his stay, though I was rather taken aback with his denial to Anthony in regards to previous conversations about Anthony's sexuality.

My second choice would have been Eugene. He's a bit dull and a nerd in the true sense of the word, but he's Mr Nice and has a degree of humility about him, unlike the eventual winner. It's nice to see him come in second, and even better that he got ?50k, especially as it's effectively been ?150k taken from Anthony's pocket.

Wow, this is turning into a right bitching session, but never mind, it makes for content for the blog, which has been lacking a bit lately!

On to Makosi, who I actually think deserved to win in some ways, she certainly played the game harder and better than any of her rivals. And I don't think anyone deserves the reaction she received on leaving.

Then we have Kinga. I have to say, maybe I'm just odd, but I really like this girl. She's rather uncontrollable when drunk, but when sober, despite a wild streak, she actually seems very switched on and has the wonderful virtue of being absolutely honest. She got to say a few of the things I've been dying to say all series to the likes of Craig.

For some reason, I want to be in Big Brother, mostly because I just want to bring some normality to it and tell people when they're being idiots. I don't think it's a very good plan though. Even better though, I'd love to be involved in producing the show. I can imagine it's a very exciting, stressful and technically challenging task. Just the sort of thing I love.

Oh, and Craig is really quite mad. Enough said.
