I understand what you're getting at ROB. In BB2 it was they 'will they, won't they' aspect of it all - admit to fancying each other, not getting down to any naughties!!

It was the slowly unfolding love between them that kept us entralled. It was so lovely to watch. Both Helen and Paul alternating between whispering sweet nothings, holding hands under cover of darknes (how sweet is that!) and play fighting, to pretending to the other housemates that 'she isn't my type' and 'if he came on to me I'd be physically sick' . It was just so sweet to watch that despite everything, they fell for each other. That in spite of the possibility of getting a slapping from Big G, Paul still admitted his feelings for Helen. Despite Elizabeth doing her best to plant seeds of doubt in Helen's mind, she still decided she wanted to see Paul (and her little face when he was waiting at the gate for her).

All of this bears absolutely no comparison to the 'wham, bang, thank you ma'am' type of offering we are being subjected to from the BB3 housemates - Adele and Lee, and Spencer and Kate. It all seems to be happening because it's what they think will earn them a few brownie points and create some good television.

I can't envisage any 'lights flashing past' for any of the four participants - it doesn't seem real. Kate is working her way through the male population of the house, Spencer just wants a bit of 'street cred' by getting off with the (supposed) prettiest girl in the house. Lee and Adele need to get their heads sorted out - it all seems too staged and false.

Sorry for the rant - feel better now. Wake up at the back!!
