Celebrity Big Brother - The First Eviction.

Last night former supermodel Paula Hamilton was the first contestant evicted from Celebrity Big Brother (CBB). With the overt political agenda having been dropped this was really a reflection of the star of the famous VW 'Divorce' advert's behaviour in the house. With simply turning up being enough to get paid since entering the house Paula had been making it her mission to get herself evicted. This included throwing tantrums, threatening walkouts, faking symptoms of a nervous breakdown and generally trying to make herself the centre of attention. This has had a very disruptive effect on life on the house and although it was tempting to force her to stay until the bitter end she was really my second choice for eviction.

My first choice for eviction - Spencer and Heidi (Speidi) have now been given a secret task which sadly makes them immune from the next round of evictions on Friday. Fortunately though it will see the pair who were nominated for eviction by all other housemates kept away from the other housemates. Having successfully staged a walk out Speidi will now spend a few days in a secret annex to the house where they will watch the other housemates on TV before returning to the main house. This is a deliberate reference to the infamous 2004 series of Big Brother which was broadcast on the rival Channel 4. In this series two of the housemates were 'evicted' in a double eviction but rather then leaving they spent a week in a secret annex watching the other housemates on TV before returning to the main house. The problem was that there was such tension in the house and the other housemates were so rude about the 'evicted' pair that when they returned it triggered such an epic argument that police had to enter the house to break up a knife fight, one of the housemates threw up in fear and another had to leave in order to be detained in a psychiatric facility under the Mental Health Act. Of course this was also the series that featured one of my next door neighbours (Kitten) and the show was being manipulated to give daily national updates on what was going on in the house I lived in at the time. So in order to fully draw the comparison with 2004 since the weekend Lacey Banghard and Tricia Penrose have started to resemble people I met up with over the weekend. The 2004 series is still clearly a very sore point with the Channel 4 production team so they've been circulating false rumours that Paula Hamilton failed her psychological evaluations for Channel 4 in an effort to demonstrate that they're not the only ones prepared to jeopardise someone's mental health for entertainment purposes.

If anything though it does demonstrate that CBB's voting is not fixed because you get the feeling that this whole homage to 2004 was designed specifically for Paula so she could spend a couple of days doing her theatrical mental breakdown on Channel 5 in order to antagonise Channel 4.
