Kiiinga!!

You know, after that face I wouldn't actually mind if Anthony did win. That's a truly great expression.

[Lucinda]

Didn't see it on TV, but Anthony's reaction there is the most fucking hilarious thing ever. He's just in such a state of disbelief. Hee.

I didn't see her going in to the house either. In fact, I haven't watched a full show in ages - just bits and pieces. Bottle shennanigans in the garden aside, I'm glad she was put in. I felt so bad for her being booted after having to live in that stupid fucking unattractive bikini for those few days.

I think Makosi's original decision that Kinga was too young to cope with the house have probably been proved right.

[Adrian]

But she's great!

"I just want to run around, have fun, jump around and be Kinga."

In a house where all Makosi seems to do is complain about bitching and two-facedness whilst bitching and being two-faced and everyone else seems to bitch, whinge, moan and scheme, I like Kinga for her (albeit extreme) sense of fun.

Ooh, this one's struck a chord. This is the Guardian's Leader article today.

Genies and bottles

Summer has some familiar features: Ascot, Henley, Wimbledon and outrage over Big Brother. Like Britain's famously fickle weather, the reality TV programme and its distinctive Paul Oakenfold theme tune have become a part of the season, its June to August span bracketing the summer for many viewers. Yet just when it could be assumed that the mother of all reality TV shows had lost its power to shock, on Tuesday night it proved that it still could do so.
Future historians may note the precise moment when the nadir of mainstream broadcasting in Britain was plumbed as occurring at 10.57pm on August 2 2005. That was the moment Channel 4 broadcast "highlights" of events in the Big Brother house that included a drunken 20-year-old woman appearing to masturbate with a wine bottle while lying in the open on the house's lawn.

True, the events were shown after the so-called watershed of 9pm, the point at which regulators relax their rules on indecency. And it also true that late-night television in the UK has become something of a haven for soft pornography and obscene behaviour. So was Tuesday evening's Big Brother any worse or any different? Many people, including the dozens who rang Channel 4 and content regulator Ofcom to complain, would argue that it was. First, 10.57pm is hardly "late night", especially during the school holidays. Second, Endemol, as producer of Big Brother, has a duty of care to the participants. Allowing them to expose themselves to ridicule is one thing, but allowing vulnerable people to expose themselves to physical danger is another. The producers should have intervened.

Much of the outrage surrounding Tuesday's programme will come from predictable sources. And it will be fuelled by the double standard of horror that it was a woman masturbating, when the programme has regularly shown men masturbating without comment. The real issue, however, is where limits are to be drawn. The message seems to be that after 9pm on television, pretty much anything goes. Is that what society wants? It may not be, but that is what it has got.

Does it mark the end of civilisation as we know it? Well, if it does then civilisation ends on Deansgate in Manchester every night - just outside Teaser's.

Actually, that's an interesting point. If however, Craig had put the bottle up his bum and discarded his crispy duvet while having a wank, that would have been worth talking about too. And would give him a purpose for existing.

I missed the Blossomhillgate episode, but those stills above are hilarious. In fact, it's a much better way to watch BB. If civilisation has officially ended, can I go and loot Top Shop without fear of arrest?

So in four days she's made herself more infamous than Orlaigh.

Not in Orlaigh's world it isn't.

In Orlaigh's world the toilet roll was evil and clearly felt threatened by her beauty. She was afraid to sleep at night, wondering what it might do because it clearly hated beautiful women like herself.

Is it not really dangerous to stick a wine bottle up your vadge? I'm sure I recall Fatty Arbuckle being involved in such an act. Anyway, how completely grim is Kinga?

I guessed from the moment she entered the House that she was a bottle blonde.

[David Hunter]

Was just thinking, despite the fact she dangled a bottle from her minge, Kinga hasn't been all that interesting. How fabulous would it have been if, when Orlaigh walked out, they'd brought in Jackie Stallone! 'Peas on pasta! Whoever heard of peas on pasta!' It would have made the series for me.

I'm sure they would have liked to but Jackie is currently abiding in a country retreat discussing philosophy with Sir Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, William Shakespeare, Emmanuel Kant and other people of her intellectual calibre.

[Adrian]

Yousee, I disagree. I like Kinga. Obviously, the bottle incident is the making of her and makes her fabulous in a trash-TV icon way. In spite of this though, she seems to be very genuinely a nice person and, whilst not the sharpest tool around, willing to listen to others and to think about them (for example, with Eugene, even if he doesn't like it). And she seems to want to have fun! Which is critically important.

I really want her to win. I might even vote, which I haven't done since the heady days of BB2.
