Imagine there's no Emma....

It's easy if you try.

Poor Emma - guilty of nothing more than being utterly uncontrolled and irretrievably brainless. That sounds quite negative, but what she actually does for me is make me smile. Every time I look at her. She's great. No-one could be more honest and up-front about life. She's so joyous when good things happen, and so obviously sad when bad things happen. No fakery, no airs, no graces.

I suspect we all have much learn from her approach to life. As we pile on layer after layer of control and accommodation, do we actually sacrifice that all important genuiness? I suspect we might. There is certainly a balance to be found.

I hope Emma's happy on the outside, and that she doesn't become too bitter at being the first housemate to be evicted after doing very little wrong and not being the subject of a public vote. She deserves better than this. I hope that life treats her better than Big Brother did.

The Chicken Dance

I'd like to bet that, at some point in the next 9 weeks, there will be an incident - spanning several days - which will be referred to as "Chickengate". Interesting to note that Stuart and Michelle will be parted, if the nomination system works. I do wonder if absence will make the heart/s grow fonder? I'd have been happier to see Stuart leave temporarily, and to notice whether Michelle moves onto her next victim. It would have been entertaining to see the look on Michelle's face when she realised that Stuart was back, as she toyed with another helpless victim. On the up-side, if Michelle and Emma get thrown together for a week out of Stuart's gaze... who knows what might happen?
