In a surprise move today BB Producers sacked one of their senior employees after the latest series of Big Brother failed to attract the expected ratings. The show, described by many as one of the most boring of all time, took its first casualty when Murphy Rossi was fired earlier this afternoon. Mr. Rossi, a one legged gay Australian, who used to be a priest, called it a heinous decision and said “I chose housemates that would appeal to the majority of viewers. It’s not my fault the tasks were rubbish”.
A Big Brother spokesman confirmed Mr. Rossi had been relieved from his post as Chief Housemate selector and would be replaced in due course. Three new housemates will enter the house tomorrow in a last ditch attempt to save the show.
