Big Brother: 9 June 2009

Not many of us knew before last night's show how influential the German language has been on the development of English over the centuries. Even fewer of us would have known that this is because of the Nazis. Karly's grasp of history and linguistics was shown to be tenuous to say the least as she explained to a puzzled Roderigo that this is why sentences in English and German are so similar, and she meant it. I bet her history teacher is so proud. 

As for Freddie, I think he should leave now, take Angel with him, and head for freedom while he can and leave the likes of Charlie and Kris to be the favourites of those who voted for Ulrika a few months ago.

Coronation Street: 8 June 2009

Poppy's recent vendetta against Hot Pot Bettie was mismatched from the start. She only had to watch Coronation Street like the rest of us to find out that as long as those hot pots keep selling like hot cakes, Betty is going nowhere.

Meanwhile, Bill showed inspiration when he asked Auntie Pam to play the Pot Black theme on the piano, rather than Brahms or Liszt, and Peter told everyone how I am an Alcoholic (him not me). Overall, and measure for measure, Sean had the best lines of the night, though, and yes his nails did look good in the Weatherfield Gazette photo.

Big Brother: 8 June 2009

Latest News: Marcus accused Sree of being an attention whore, behind his back of course, and Angel sucked the yolk from an egg rather than join in and have pizza with the others.

In conclusion, Angel should win Big Brother but probably won't.

The Apprentice: The Final, 7 June 2009

So what are we supposed to do now then? Big Brother just isn't that appealing anymore, especially since Ulrika 'won' the celebrity version. Anyway, Yasmina was hired and we should point out that she is the second (count 'em) Hull-born contestant to win The Apprentice.

You're Hired had Jonathan Ross on the panel and, did you know, he can be quite funny, sometimes. The other massive revelation last night was that Margaret is leaving to finish her PhD (I always thought she was really clever) - so it's black armbands time again.
