Big Brother: Rachel wins

Good triumphed over evil in the final: well, Rachel came out of the house some time after Rex and I can only hope he will be a little disappointed - but not nearly as much as Luke seems to be. She came out the winner and was clutching Mikey's favourite washing aide, which is also known as his cup, and amazingly continued to be as nice a person as she has been for the last three months when tallking to Davina. It's possible then that the cynics have been wrong and she hasn't been delivering an Oscar winning performance - she really is kind and isn't pretending.

The order of merit for those who missed it:

1. Rachel, with just over 51% of the final vote.

2. Close second Mikey.

3. Sara.

4. Rex.

5. Darnell.

Big Brother: The last night

Mikey's the favourite to win tonight, but the betting hasn't always being good at forecasting what's going to happen this year. Sara was the easy favourite to go against Lisa, but the bookies must have missed the episode when Darnell and Rex became more versed in bullying and used her to practice on. To be fair, Mikey should win just for the footage of him eating the infamous Scotch Bonnet hottest chilli ever (so ring for him now).

The only downside to tonight's show, apart from the terrible idea of Rex winning and thinking he's popular, is listening to Davina Teflon McCall fawn over the rude housemates and bully the quieter ones. What's the betting she'll have a go at humiliating Rachel?

Big Brother: Kat and Mohamed Evicted

Last night's eviction has to have been one of the most traumatic ever, or funniest depending on who you like and don't like. Mohamed's departure could have been depicted without a crystal ball as his time came to an end, but Kat's was a shocker. The fact that she was next to go was made even worse because she was weeping and still hadn't recovered from Mo leaving.

There has been plenty of talk about Disney characters, what with Rachel's chilling love for all things Disney, and who would have thought Rex would have been so knowledgeable on this subject (as he knew who Belle was). This still didn't prepare us for the equivalent of Bambi's mother being shot, though, and I only hope Big Brother is willing to pay for counselling for the viewers who saw Kat in such distress.

Big Brother the Final Week

You can tell the pressure is increasing in the final week when Kat starts to look a bit moany and Rex seems to be funny. It's not just the housemates that are feeling it, it's us too and even Darnell gained some sympathy last night after Kat's mini-breakdown. I don't like to make light of her emotional upheaval, but she should try Oil of Evening Primrose Oil for times such as these; or, she could start caring less about her friend Darnell.

While we're on the subject, I don't blame Rachel for shielding her gaze when he decided to fake tan his bum (with Sara's help), and Rex should be less judgemental of her prudishness. I'm just surprised she could find a cushion big enough to preserve their modesty.
