Default No time to make themselves presentable?

No time to make themselves presentable?

So let me get this straight: the annoying losers who didn’t make it this far got to know in advance and have time to shower and make themselves look presentable. Two people – love ‘em or loathe ‘em – who HAVE made it this far are rewarded by getting no warning and get dragged out kicking in screaming to face the national press and TV interview.

Yeah…that’s fair!

Hey, maybe we can start a trend. Teams who don’t make it past the third round of the FA Cup should get trophies and medals while the two in the final get booed but no prize. Or perhaps people who get two numbers in the Lottery should get a million squid while if you get six, you get a fine.

Cue vacuous responses such as “Since when has Big Brother been fair?” and “But it’s great entertainment.” Makes me, ahem, proud to be British.

Im not too sure what your problem is... I am assuming you didnt like the way the evictions were done? I think you just need to remember its just a game, this is how the game is played. Its not about being all glammed up and then being evicted. The whole word "Evicted" means being kicked out of your house! So really last nights eviction is more true to the actual word "evicted" than normal evictions.
I know you said we would say this but its true... its entertainment, thats the whole reason we watch BB. To be entertained. I wouldnt be suprised to hear BB caught a few new viewers back that had switched off to be honest.

Im sure Kat and Mo are over it now, I think its time you did as well.

i agree with Fom ... this show isnt about glamming up to get the boot... it was a good idea to do that
housemates know going on there they are likely to get humiliated... most other housemates did in one way or another... and that wasnt the worst that could have happened... BB6 Eugene Kinga and Orlaith went in with just underwear with leaves on

I loved it! I think it was necessary to throw a bit of entertainment in there after several weeks of boring.

I couldn't agree with you more - great reply to a rather silly post - sorry OP but it is a gameshow - not a visit to the Queen!

They both said they had thought there would be an eviction early in the week so really they should have been prepared for it happening. This has happened year on year, look at when they just took people from the diary room in the past.

those are possibly the two worst examples i have ever heard.

its all about that.
and to be honest, who cares, i thought it was funny. it was a SHOCK eviction. and it produced great results. its not as if the housemates are guaranteed a proper eviction and 30 mins to prepare themselves. thats what they sign up for, so they should expect it.

I think the main difference of the FA Cup and BB is the winner takes all part of the show, and is done for entertainment where rules like these can be changed. If you got medals, or more to the point big contracts, teams would indeed endevour to go out in round 1, 2 or 3.

I suppose if the FA cup if Man Utd were suddenly told en route to Arsenal's ground that the public had voted them out of the comp, then whether they showered or not wouldnt stop the outrage of the rule change.

However in both gameshows, the idea is to get as far as you can, with the luck of the draw and avoided the big stars in potential eviction defeats, as whats important to consider is the further you go the bigger the rewards off the field you earn.
Kat will be minted like the rest of the finalists, and she'll be waving her rich pickings from BB and that "horrid" eviction at the nasty booe'ers long after they have forgotten what she was even called.
A bit like like last years FA cup semi finalists, now I wonder who they were again?

Of coarse they had no warning, hence the meaning of "surprise" eviction

If you remember stuart (BB6) got called to the diary room during a party and was evicted without getting to say goodbye at least they got to say goodbye to the other housemates

Lol - in a slightly more longwinded way, you've regurgitated both the clichés I quoted in the post!

By the way, whatever you all throw at me is water off a duck’s back, not least because on BBLB tonight, Davina pretty much echoed exactly the same view as mine!
