Yeah, no one last year got as hammered as Kate was.
If they're are 5 levels of drunkenness, and level 5 is where someone is in need of emergency hospital treatment, Kate was at about level 4 the other night.
As well as less money to spend on booze, last year, there were older, more responsible housemates who had the respect of everyone and kept things in control.
I agree that the producers and the housemates share responsiblity about this. The housemates are old enough to make these decisions for themselves but if only the producers would give them something else to do. Even give them back the reading material, it might not make very good television but at least it won't damage their livers.
Anyway, thankyou ROB so much for putting up that article again - it reminded me of everything about Big Brother 2 that I loved. Not only was BB2, for me, the finest of the three series so far, it was one of the most enjoyable things I've ever seen on TV. Watching BB3 makes me, increasingly, regret that I didn't keep more of BB2 on tape.
