Big Brother: Sophia & Halfwit Up, Who’ll Go?

Big Brother, Big Brother eviction, Sophie, Freddie, HalfwitAs far as Big Brother goes, tomorrow is going to be a huge day – it’s the first real Big Brother eviction of the year.

And you know what that means? It means that there’s only going to be another seven evictions, then the introduction of four more housemates, then another six evictions, then some more introductions, then some evictions, then a re-introduction, then some more evictions and Big Brother will all be over! Hooray!

Anyway, this week’s Big Brother eviction is between Sophia and Freddie, also known as Halfwit. Who’ll go? Let’s find out…

Halfwit – We know this isn’t going to be a popular thing to say, but we’ve actually developed quite the soft spot for young Halfwit over the short amount of time that Big Brother has been on air. For the first time in years, Big Brother has found a genuinely unpredictable housemate. Not in the tiresome ‘Gor, look at me! I’m being deliberately eccentric!’ way that propelled Crazy Pete to victory all those years ago, but more in the sense that you literally can’t ever guess what he’s about to do. Tuesday’s Big Brother, for example, was a masterclass in guile-free cluelessness – first Halfwit gave a lecture about how he’s an anarchist (just one who’s really, really structured in everything he does); then he cooked a salad using the all the eggs in the house and people got angry and he had to hug someone because he was sad; then he decided to put everything right by performing an Italian aria for everyone, followed by an encore of Summertime that was seemingly inspired by the dying yelps of a homeless man. If Halfwit gets evicted from Big Brother tomorrow, and we don’t say this with any exaggeration, it’ll be the worst thing that’s ever happened to mankind.

Sophia - Similarly, Sophia must leave Big Brother on Friday. She just must. For starters, there’s already a Sophie, a Sophia and a Saffia in the Big Brother house this year, which just seems like shoddy planning on the part of the producers. And then there’s Sophia’s mood-swings, which caused her to lurch from ecstatic euphoria to frightening anger within the space of about three seconds earlier this week. In fact, given the way Sophia’s outburst was treated in the televised broadcast, it seems as if she’s the first disabled Big Brother housemate in about five years who we’ve actively been encouraged to dislike. And we’re all for being discouraged to dislike people. So, yes, her out please.

A conservative anarchist, what a contradiction in terms if ever I have heard one! They couldn’t have picked a better name for Freddie (halfwit) if they tried.

Don’t care, at least he’s got a view on something other than his own bodily functions.

FREDDIE FTW!
