Big Brother 2: Doubleplusgood

This was nearly a post about the wrongs of banning the Welsh contestants from speaking in their own language on the show, after seeing a headline in one local newspaper (can’t remember which) yesterday that read: “Fury as Big Brother Bans Welsh”.
Then I thought I’d better check my facts, and revealed this:
“Housemates are free to talk in any established language of their choosing,” clarified the masterly voice.
“However, any discussion, in any language, that is deemed against the rules will result in Housemates being punished. Glyn, Big Brother is multi-lingual and is always listening.”
Tut tut, newspapers.

I’m loving Big Brother. I’m not even pretending I don’t like it while watching it in secret like I, erm, might have done for the past six years.
I’m loving Pete. A bit annoying that the crazy ones always have to be from Brighton, mind. And surely the Tourette’s is going to cause problems for the live 8pm show…?

I’ll be watching it whenever I’m in the house, which probably won’t be that often, sadly.
I think the Celebrity version resparked an interest. But then I’ve watched it most years.
