When did people stop being sentient beings and become so devoid of human emotion?

The OP is correct in all she says; Speidi are disgusting little creatures, spoiled to the core, arrogant, self-obsessed, insensitive, lazy, rude, immature, volatile, derranged, insecure, and quite frankly, a little bit psychotic.

It was so clear when the cover was pulled from beneath them by Big Brother in the recent internet task that they were mortified their true colours had been revealed. Heidi's crestfallen face said it all. However, they had to show united front and pretend it didn't affect them in the slightest, because God forbid they should show an ounce of emotive awareness.

Okay, I think Claire has gone overboard with the whole 'crying' thing, and moreover, I do believe it is only a few weeks in there, and that if you can't be separated from your kids for that period of time, then don't go in the house.

However, Speidi are just a disgusting excuse for so-called 'entertainment', who have not been brought up with any manners, etiquette, compassion or team spirit. They've so far dodged most of the tasks set by Big Brother, weakly somehow insinuating it could have an impact on their relationship (which can't be that strong from the outset if a couple of hours separation was refused), and furthermore, have seemingly been allowed to escape punishment, and virtually get away with murder (with the exception of the internet task). They expected to keep their basement room, and were outraged when Big Brother decided to pull it away from them, despite the fact it was clearly stated they would only go in there whilst things calmed down.

This couple are a let down to society, and I for one am glad they are not going to be integrated back into our society in the UK. Send them back to the USA, get someone to teach them some basic good manners, and never let them on another reality show. The biggest lesson they could learn in life is how to respect their fellow mankind, and how to learn from others' examples. Somehow, I fear they are beyond help.

Brilliantly put.
