SEXIST FACE IS A PIG BROTHER
28 January 2007

THE trouble with the glorious Cleo Rocos is that she's way too nice for her own good. Having been evicted from the Celeb BB house largely because of her altercation with Dirk (or Duck as Shilpa so rightly calls him) she still can't say what I can - that he's a selfish misogynist with zero sense of humour.

Yes, he's good looking, yes, he's in great shape but, if you're a woman, don't expect old Face from the A-Team to give you the time of day if you're over 25 and have a brain.

He had no time for me in the house mainly because I qualify on both counts and, when asked to describe me in two words, he said "intellectually frustrating". What he meant of course was that I'd had the audacity to disagree with him and the wit to argue politics with him - and win. Our best argument was when he said all women should stay at home with their kids and never go out to work.

When I pointed out that might not be possible for people on low incomes or even desirable for women who might just need a bit of outside stimulus to stay sane, his answer to the latter was "tough" and to the former it was "so cut out the TVs, the DVDs and live on brown rice". And he meant it.

His treatment of Cleo was appalling. He accused her of having a fat arse and a middleaged cleavage simply because, with her alter ego Tiara, she showed what a repressed, jumped up, moody old chauvinist he is.

Steps man Ian told Big Brother he thought Cleo dressed up to hide her insecurities (has no-one told him she's a comic actress and does this for a living?) when the fact is she was playing with him... and Duck didn't like it one little bit.


The people who've said to me this week she threw herself at him just didn't get it. She was just toying with him - making him look like the grumpy old man he is.


Because old Duck likes to laugh all right but only when it's at other people and on his terms.


But it's Steps man I'm worried about. He needs help on two counts - first for his nervous tic that gets worse with every day and second for his mind-bending hypocrisy, which is far uglier than anything he does with his hair.


He's spent his entire time in the house with his bony backside firmly on the fence sucking up to everyone (he tells Shilpa he loves her every hour, on the hour).


He's never once had the courage to stick his head above the parapet either to defend anyone or more importantly to put a stop to the bullying. Yet he puts his supposed best friend Jo up for eviction because when Jade was attacking Shilpa "she just sat back and laughed".


Er, I'm sorry Ian, what the hell were YOU doing when it was all going off? Nothing, that's what! The entire time that fiasco was raging Steps man ran away and hid until it was all over, after which time he'd sidle over to Shilpa and whinge about how awful it must be for her. He'd then sneak over to Jade and ask: "You all right. babes?"


Does he think the nation have been blind to his little game? The only reason he's escaped eviction so far is because he has no impact on anything. The men in the house have not acquitted themselves at all well and if any of them win (apart from Jermaine) it will be a travesty.


And just a word on Jo. Don't judge her too harshly. I've said from the day I got out of the house I'd rather have her on my side than any of the blokes. She said some daft things and she should have reined in Jade but she's decent and funny and I for one can't wait to see her and Cleo tonight when we will drink copious amounts of wine... and bitch about Duck!

Its absolute dribble.

The real sexist is Cleo. She cant stand Dirk because he's masculine, and Cleo likes effeminate homosexuals like Kenny Everett. This entire series Cleo has slagged off Dirk along with fellow sexist Jo, because niether of them have the bottle to be honest.

Carole is typical in her view, trying to make some sort of cutting observation, but as is equally typical about Carole, her sickening bias and rudimentary ability as a journalist get completely wrapped up in her cynicism and she confirms yet again that her incapability to be objective is her primary weakness concerning her supposed profession, and its no wonder she will forever be desperate for a job anywhere she can get it because she has no discernable ability as a journalist.

Shut up Carole.

[texbex]

Well Done Carole took the words right out of my mouth

[stacey]

i agree with what carole said about dirk in that

[Sophii3x]

It's all garbage, I don;'t agree with any of it

[Arkadina]

Go Carole! Sense at last.

[Leona]

Rubbish Carole as usual!

[GDJ]

So Carole reckons what Jo said was daft. Now Dirks the bad guy. Next she will be saying Jack is interesting. Glad i dont read her columns.

[J.C.]

Thats great, a great load of bull **it from a bitter loser who is the only person in the entire world who changed their opinion on Jade,from disliking her to describing her as being Genuine and good!!!!!!!
She is being a complete hypocrite about Ian, yes he sat on the fence, unlike Carole who supported Jade over and over. She can`t back track now so instead of bitching about woman she`s now going at the men.She`s in a minority by miles ,as the voting shows. Go away Carole

[Tanser_Man]

Great bit of journalism, slagging off 'friends' she made in the house. I think this article just underlines her intentions of going in the house.

[James]

What a nasty piece of work that Carole Malone is - a real snake in the grass.

Is it any wonder that we have a problem with bullying when girls look up to her (and her journalist ilk) as some sort of 'mother figure'.

[andybigbro]

Thanks Sophie for the Column

[Nikkos]

Hmm I'm rarely split down the middle on something but I really can't decide if she makes sense or not. I guess if I can't decide it means it's drabble lol

Excellent point there Tanser
Carole Malone loves to stir up trouble

[easypeasy]

The Hitman nailed it, again......

[easypeasy]

oh and its very ****ing sad and weak of her to bring up Ians facial tic as some sort of reason for not liking him, though it doesnt surprise me the old bag would stoop so low........

[Emilee]

Total Garbage!

It's funny she calls Ian a fence sitter when she never intervened in any arguments or said all these things she has said about Dirk in her column to his face.Her final line about bitching about Dirk just about sums up that woman's mentality, happy to dig at people but not to their face.

She said the other day she was hurt by some of the things that she had seen wrote about her whilst in the house and would think before having a dig at others but this just proves she's incapable of doing so.She puts together column's consisting of bitchy rants about people she doesnt even know,just reporting on 2nd hand info.Has she not got anything more constructive to say? what a snake!

Shut up Carole.

I agree with you. Cleo and Jo (the fact that Carole likes Jo speaks volumes about her judgement) constantly had a go at Dirk about him being single and living on his own - but never wondering about why they are also single.

As for Carole - she praised Dirk up a lot while she was in the house, so talk about two faced!

[spacebandit]

What an excellent example of blame everyone for everything, except for the actual guilty parties.

carole berates Ian for doing exactly what she did - not intervening and kissing arse. She's probably remembering she accused Shilpa of things over the nominations chat thing and is desperately backpeddling - as during that whole incident Shilpa was being bullied merecilessly and Carole did nothing.

then theres Cleo, a vacuos airhead who claims the love of her life was Kenny Everett a homosexual who died over 10 years ago.

To put that into perspective,

she loves a man who could not return the love she wanted to give him, this love however was never spoken about until AFTER Everett died, and, being a talentless piece of arm furniture she had no other way to make any money - suddenly on the back of the news hype surrounding his death she found herself in all the mags and on all the chat shows for a couple months - since that nothing.

and now she can maybe make a few quid again trying to resurrect Everetts ghost to anyone bored enough to listen, and pocket a few extra quid from John Noel for towing the party line.

As for carole malone - I'm sure private eye will savage her good and proper in their next issue

[lilmissnaughty]

Good for Carole, she's spot on there.
