Big Bra-ther

Oh, the wit!

Umm... yeah, anyway...

I realised that I had been very remiss in the absence of my Big Brother Australia commentary, a long standing tradition which starts today.

Along with many australians, I watched in horror last Sunday as Channel 10 trotted out twelve vat-grown samples of australian youth, in all their plastic-chested glory. Now, don't get me wrong I enjoy Big Brother Uncut boobie shots as much as the next perv, but even I baulk at this shameless attempt to get some sex filmed live in the BB house. Do they honestly think we don't notice when they put in a group of buff young guys desperate for a beer and a group of skinny young sales reps and promo models, most of which are in no danger of drowning if you follow my meaning.

Their one concession seems to be the 36 year old 'hippy mum', who is still extremely samey when compared to the other cardboard cutouts (her going to get a huge boob job specially for the show with her daughter probably helped there).

And that brings us on to the world shattering world first for the show. 36 year old Karen is there in the house with her doe-eyed daughter Krystal (how pissed are the guys in the house going to be when they realise that Busty St Clairs mum is there keeping an eye on them?) It's a mildly interesting twist I suppose, but not as interesting (or as ambitious) as the twins in the last series.

All in all, I don't think BB06 is looking so hot right now, which ironically seems to be conversly proportional to how artificially hot the group of idiots we are presented with are.
