Sound familiar? Spot the difference

What's the matter? WHAT'S THE MATTER? I will tell you "what's the matter!" I go out of my way for you! I do everything to try and make you happy. I feed you, I clean you, I dress you, and what thanks do I get? "Oh, you bought the wrong paper, Anne, I can't write on this paper, Anne!" Well, I'll get your stupid paper but you just better start showing me a little appreciation around here, Mr. MAN!

Yes that was a scene from the the classic film Misery.


"I look after Anthony," he told Housemates.""I will not have people thinking they can take over my job." If you even accept a drink tomorrow I will be livid," Craig warned him. "I will make his tea and wash his clothes and wash his body" Okay so I made that last part up but you catch my drift.

Yes a scene from Misery in the Big Brother house.

Now let's look at another scenario.


I don't like Anthony anymore, he hates me, he's got his arm around Makosi," whined the hairdresser. Anthony told him to "shut up and stop being a geek".

"You've rejected me and I can't go on any longer," he sniffed. "Kiss me on the cheek and I'll forgive you."

To keep the peace, Anthony kissed him to the surprise of Makosi: "Oh my God...do you like Anthony...sexually?"

Craig replied that he was just his mate and he looks after him. But soon after Makosi was whispering in Anthony's ear and Craig was upset again.

"Big Brother, I think Anthony's gay," Makosi said and this wound the Geordie lad up.

"I'm a man's man," he stated and removed Craig's hand from his leg. "What the *******! Move that hand...I'm not a piece of meat...I have feelings."

Craig started to cry, told Anthony to "get a grip" and then slapped him across the face. Anthony retaliated with a slap to the top of the head, Three Stooges style.

"You're an a***hole! When you're drunk your true personality shows," Craig said.

Makosi announced to Big Brother that she shouldn't be here as "these two are trying to sort out their relationship". She got up and left them to it. After going over the same old ground for a while, Anthony walked out calling Craig pathetic as he sobbed alone to Big Brother.

Well, after last night's viewing I actually think he is now unbalanced, especially when drunk or tipsy! Now I'm no Psychiatrist. but come on!!!!! Unrequited love my @ss! I let some of the things Craig did go because he is obviously confused sexually and is too emotional or unbalanced which ever word you want to use to work out his feelings. He obviously lacks a level of emotional maturity to deal with it. This should come with age but....

If Anthony was a girl, it would be classed as sexual harassment. His behaviour is not normal. It's an unhealthy obsession and it's making him look creepy. It made for uncomfortable viewing. Let's look at the evidence.

Scene in Living Room last night.

"Oh Anthon-ee what are you trying to do to me!" "Let me take you to the bedroom Anthon-ee" "Let me take off your clothes" "Let me look after you" "You're drunk, I love you" Cuddling and kissing Anthony while Anthony seems totally oblivious to the stroking of his belly.

Scene in the Shower

"Got to get you sober Anthon-ee" Let's go inside"

Enter Orlaith:-"You okay?"
Craig "Yeah just looking after my best friend in the whole world"
Orlaith: We don't know where Derek is"
Craig, looking a little bit manic now and not in the least bit bothered or interested in anything but his precious Anthon-ee says,

"Derek's gone, probably been evicted. Dismissing Orlaith. I'm looking after Anthon-ee, he needs me, I love him so much"
Anthony sitting down in a chair, looking pittiful the shower running on him: "I want me Mam and Gran"
Craig:"They're not here, I love you so much Anthony, I'll look after you" (which roughly translates to you don't need them, you only need me, nobody will love you like I do)


Scene outside Diary Room

Craig-"Got to get you to bed Anthon-ee" Kiss kiss on hand and cheek, stroking cheek
Anthony "Leave me alone. I want to talk to Big Brother alone"
Craig " I'm coming with you" Hug hug...
Anthony screaming and pushing Craig away. "FFS leave us alone man, I want to go by meself!"

Enter Eugene

Eugene Croaking"Errrrrrrrrmmmmmm Craig leave him alone let him go in by himself"
Craig "He's my best friend he needs me" (Which roughly translates to I love him, I want him and I shall have him)

Scene in Diary Room

Eugene- "Craig come out, leave him"
Craig draping himself on Anthony, "I need to look after him" (which roughly translates to I can't control myself any longer) Craig kissing cheek, Strokes bare belly, hand narrowly missing the crotch area (I kid you not) Anthony brushing his hand off. Craig eventually leaves the Diary Room, but leaves the door slightly so he can perv and listen to his obsession some more.

Scene in Couch area

Anthony asleep on the floor near the couch. Craig sneaks to him, leers for a bit then and wakes him up. Eugene asks if he can help. Craig surprisingly acts normal and says yes lets try to get him in bed.

They drag him on to the couch where Craig drapes himself over Anthony's torso and cuddles him again. Anthony is finally carried to bed by Eugene and Craig, where Craig threatens to stay up all night to watch him.

Who's the obsessed Psycho? You decide. I'm just waiting for Craig to smash Anthony's legs with a gnome now.....

[Slartibartfast]

Great post, especially the Misery references and "waiting for Craig to smash Anthony's legs with a gnome"

[OPL73]

Aye, I wonder what Craig's parents are feeling, watching that!

[Fangz]

I should imagine they've disowned him...

[OPL73]

I'm still shaking my head at the shenanigans.

Last night's highlight show was very uncomfortable to watch. I didn't even watch to the end. I find Craig very disturbing.

[Fangz]

I kept changing channels cos I felt embarrassed watching it...

[Sunny_01]

I felt as if it was something that I shouldnt be wathicng to be honest - it was certainly cringe worthy - I like the references to Misery and think that it strikes a huge comparison when you listed the two conversations

[OPL73]

I am quite tolerant of most things but the show this year has made me re-think my perspective!! How sad is that? It's strange though, the majority of people who felt uncomfortable with last night's viewing were the men.

[Fangz]

Really? I felt uncomfortable, and I'm female...

[AndyJK]

There is some simularity with Kathy Bates in "Misery" I grant you.

I don't know about anyone else but watching Craig in that ill-fitting wig reminded me of Norman Bates as the mother in the Hitchcock thriller "Psycho" .

Sorry I meant the majority of people I have spoken to are men.
