Merlin, the guy in the picture was evicted last night from the TV show Big Brother 4. He refused to talk yet made a silent protest about the plight of the refugees held in detention centres here in Oz.

Good on you Merlin! They want reality TV. You gave it to them!

Good on him for taking advantage of reality tv, rather than letting it take advantage of him! I'm so addicted to UK big bro, grrr!

The UK, has gone evil, it's full of annoying, loud people, who rub each other up the wrong way! There's a woman in there who's really a man, and no ones realised, and the first nomination was fake! They pretended to evict to housemates, but moved them into big brothers bedsit, where they get to watch everythingthat goes on, all the backstabbing and bitching, and then they send them back in the house, and watch it go BANG, hehe!

OMG! thats fantastic!
Here they put Miriam into the house and they guessed it was a man. So then they all relaxed and had fun.
Was it Miriam as well?
I reckon they should show the rest of the housemates when they nominate .. stir the pot up a bit!

I think there evil plan is for them all to kill each other, or drive each other slowly insane, and as I'm so sadistic I love it!

Was it Miriam as well?


No not Miriam, the guys are still busy checking this dude out, hmmm I'm sure they'll be pleased when they find out!

I had to share my excitment somewhere so here it is!!!! There's been huge fights in our big bro house, with people fighting, threatening to kill each other, they have ended up calling the police!!!!!!! Oooooh drama! The two girls got out of the bedsit and came back and confronted everyone and havoc broke lose! Why do some people try and solve problems with their fists, are they really that stupid that they can't form a verbal argument! Sorry for the rant, I feel better now!

They've locked them all in separate rooms, so they don't kill each other! The fight was about all the stuff the girls had seen while inthe bedsit, so all the people bitching about them, and who hates who, it's all back to school stuff, but it's entertaining the hell out of me (I'm simple like that!). There's an eviction tonight....so we shall see what happens! I'll keep you updated!
