Nominations 10

July 4, 2006

Nominees for eviction this week are…

  • David
  • Krystal
  • Perry

David decided once again to give his three point deduction to someone other than himself.  This time it was Darren.  I wonder what David would make of someone with Darren’s character if they were female?

I’m glad Camilla got the week off.

Anyway, the eviction prediction is a no brainer… it’s time to go Perry.  I could have told you that yesterday morning!

Ashley and John – Saga Continues

July 4, 2006

As I walked in the door at home last night, I was greeted by Channel 7 News (no not their hard biting current affairs program) to find them doing a story on the Big Brother incident.

They actually showed the footage (with blurs), but without any of the context.  They proceeded to inverview a rape counsellor, show sound bites from the Prime Minister and short words from Ashley (Michael) and John’s (Michael’s) fathers.

Channel 10 aired the interview with Ashley, John and Gretel Killeen last night at 9.40pm.  It didn’t really say much that press releases hadn’t already said.  I guess it just confirmed that Ashley and John are still alive and not incarcerated.

What I find hypocritical is that Channel 10 is in a position where they have to explain the incident without actually saying what happened and vowing never to show footage that you had to originally see at 4am on the Internet, while Channel 7 and apparently Channel 9 show what happened while the family eat dinner.  I know which I think is more irresponsible.

The only thing I can add is that I think by not saying what happened exactly, people’s imaginations are left to assume an act far worse than what actually took place.
