IN the workplace, in politics, and in our schools, the same old rule often applies - dullards bolstering dullards to thwart the truly inspired.
So it proves in the Celebrity Big Brother house. The two put up for the first eviction were the only two mavericks in the house.
John McCririck has been making his best TV appearance since he told then world champion Richard Corsie on Sport In Question that 'Bowls is boring!' Sexist, sideburned, superMac unleashed one major shock - he shaves in front of the mirror. So he actually contrives to look like that on purpose?
Jackie Stallone, an expert on the psychic life of dogs, is a plastic-plated, bona fide fright-wigged fruitcake. She's so old she called Germaine Greer 'that girl'. She's like Methuselah's gran. She's older than Alex Rae.
Most important, she's the only woman they could have put in there that Frank McAvennie wouldn't have hit on.
Her funniest moment was when she told her producers she'd meet: 'the eight most brilliant people in England. was expecting Bill Gates.'
It does her immense credit she could not name the people she nominated.
Sadly that means we're left with Jeremy, Caprice, the insufferable Lisa and failed model/actress Brigitte, who feared the press reaction on her exit, telling Big Brother: 'I don't know what's out there.' do. Unemployment.
The bookies' favourite is Bez. A spokesman for Ladbrokes actually said the drug-addled maracas shaker should win because 'he's kept his nose clean'. That's not what heard.
