Big Brother: Kenny, 23 July 2009

Last night, we saw Kenny cry his last crocodile tear, put on  his python shoes and scale the wall to oblivion. These reptilian/amphibian references keeping popping up in relation to him, and I can only hope he redeems himself in the outside world by doing many years of charity work in order to earn some good karma.

Eastenders: 21 July 2009

As loyal Tellyjelly readers will know, I'm not one to criticise Eastenders, well not all the time, but it is as though I can't help myself. Drawn like a moth to a flame or a lemming to a cliff, or Phil to drink, I obviously cannot resist this programme. Because of this weird fatal attraction, the negative appraisal just keeps on spewing out.

Last night is a case in point. Whitney has just found out that her feckless mother has another child, so she (Whitney) has a long-lost half-brother and this is the same guy who saved the square's children from being blown up in the cafe. It is also the same guy who has allegedly stabbed and killed a man and mommie dearest is holding the knife to blackmail him. Now Whitney has the knife and she's refusing to give it back to him too. This story doesn't make sense, is uninteresting and I can only hope this is all an excuse for him to go on a rampage then we can have a cull of the more annoying characters. 

Big Brother: Nominations, 21 July 2009

It doesn't take Sally Morgan or even Mystic Meg to work out who is going on Friday. Eleven of the housemates are up for nomination, which is everybody except Lisa and Roderigo. This means Kenny is one of those up for eviction and, therefore, he will be evicted on Friday and will even beat Rex's girlfriend in the unpopularity stakes. Who needs a crystal ball?

Big Brother: Inspector Siavash, 19 July 2009

Now that Siavash is the self-appointed Miss Marple of the house, let's hope he doesn't have to solve any other crimes more significant than who stole Lisa's missing can of lager. He just isn't that good at detective work, really, but is good value though when he points the finger of justice with certainty, like when he accused Tom of stealing Lisa's drink or told Noirin how the others are calling her a rabbit, and five minutes later says he thinks this is true (rather than knows). In his defence, you could say he is more of a postmodern detective who deals in possibilities and uncertainties, rather than being a run of the mill one who only cares about facts. He does also seem to believe what he is saying at the time, even if it is strange and wrong and embarrassing for the person he is shoving into the limelight. Here's hoping he gets to the final at least.

In other news, Karly's boyfriend (for the moment, anyway) revealed to Lisa and the nation that his white shoes are made of python and cost £3,000. It doesn't take a detective, or Siavash, to work out that as soon as he is up for eviction he will be joining Karly in the outside world again.
