Celebrity Big Brother

I have to say this is the funniest CBB I have seen. Right from day one it has been hilarious. Many people dismiss it as claptrap but on a psychological level it is intriguing to watch the ‘celebrities’ disintegrate so massively in such a short period of time. It always starts so positively with the contestants vowing to just enjoy the experience and have a good time, but within days many become mortal enemies and begin behaving in ever more bizarre ways. Even though they know it is a gameshow and that every whisper is recorded, they simply can’t help themselves. The establishment of interest groups, cliques, defensive and offensive alliances takes place quickly and with absolute predictability on every occasion. The ploys with which contestants try to manipulate their housemates and the voting public are fascinating to observe. In this year’s show the relationship development between Denise Welch and Michael Madsen has been hilarious to watch and yes the signals indicate that Denise has a huge crush on Michael, who plainly is not interested and resents the fact that Denise invades his space. Denise does not take the rejection well and tries even harder to establish a relationship which in turn invades Michael’s space even more and makes him even angrier. So the cycle continues!
