On another thread I touched on the subject of fate and destiny and how Big Brother is the perfect place to see it in action. Here I shall attempt to explain how.

The housemates are what create the events that happen within the house, with a little help from Big Brother. Each housemate provides a role for things to happen, be they small or big, and act as moving pieces in a jigsaw puzzle. The pieces and the final picture are already determind but the housemates are the ones who do the actions to slot each piece into place.

There are 3 housemate types. Active housemates, passive housemates and conduit housemates. Conduit housemates are responsible - all be it unbeknownst to them - to shift the important pieces. They're not going to win, as that's not their function in the house, but their presence is crucial to what happens with everyone else.

This year the housemates are:

Active:
Luke
Rebecca
Mario
Sylvia
Kat
Darnell
Belinda
Alex
Rex

Passive:
Lisa
Rachel
Dale
Sara
Jennifer
Mikey

Conduit:
Steph
Mohamed
Dennis
Stuart

Active housemates are the ones who play a more prominant role in the house and are very visable, but not necesarily show winners. Passive housemates are those who take much more of a step back from the action, but occasionally do something more in line with active housemates. Conduit housemates (either active or passive) are those who do little - seemingly insignificant at the time - things that have a much wider impact on the house and individual housemates later on. While they don't appear to be doing anything in particular to the viewers, events in the house take place through them. Once their function has been performed, they are no longer needed and are taken out at the quickest opportunity.

Rather than go into everything that's happened, I'll pick a couple of key moments to give as an example.

3 conduit housemates were involved with fight night. Mohamed, Dennis and Stuart. Stuart's presence lead to the painting existing for Rex to mess with and upset Jennifer. Mohamed's presence in the luxury bedroom lead to Dennis spitting at him which got him thrown out. Dennis's removal lead to Bex sharing Luke's bed.

In the line of fate, Dennis had performed his function by getting himself removed from the house at that point allowing for Mohamed to stay and for Luke & Bex to start their path together.


This week Mo, Bex and Darnell are up for eviction. Having done not a lot for a while Mohamed has suddenly played two key roles since being nominated. He was crucial in the task to win the luxury budget by his quick finding of the alarm clocks and last night was instrumental in Luke & Bex finally getting their true feelings out into the open. However, last night has been what the previous 7 weeks have been building up to. To separate Luke & Bex at this stage doesn't make sense. So Mohamed, as a conduit housemate, must perform one last act for the house and that's to be evicted tonight instead of Bex.


If this doesn't happen tonight you're free to call everything above a load of twaddle.


And I'll be punching myself in the face with a pineapple.
