Big Brother and Princess Brigette

Sorry, couldn't help but write here to get my frustrations out. Just finished watching Big Brother (I know, tragic really, but I like to watch the psychology and interaction of it all).

Anyway, tonight BB took Brigette's personal possessions away from her and you'd think it was the end of the world. All she's done is cry, cry and threaten to hunger strike until she gets her things back. To be that shallow, self centred and pouting like a 4 year old about such trivial matters.

There could be up to 1.5M people dead in Burma, an innocent 3yo boy murdered by his father, the starving and dying in the 3rd world while NASA spends billions of wasted dollars on space exploration.

Not to mention the day to day struggles of everyone here at Depnet. We all have our own sad stories to tell, abuse - be it physical, sexual or mental, physical illnesses, family and relationship issues, loneliness, crippling anxiety, addiction, the list is endless.

And this pouting juvenile can't get over the fact that BB has taken away her personal possessions "indefinitely". Each and every person in that house has offered her clothing and personal effects to tide her over, but she didn't hear any of that, she was too caught up in being a "victim" to hear the kindness of the people around her.

It made me sick to the stomach. I know, I shouldn't watch it any more, but the kids love watching it - even 9 & 7 yo's thought she was being "just stupid".

Anyway, that's my rant for the evening.

Best wishes to everyone,

Fly xxx

Life in th house is abnormal, hard 2 comprehend, away from family friends evrythin familiar, almost like a prison where yr life is dictated by another...
Imagine bein in... jail... a psych hosp... & they took away all YOUR personal stuff- how'd YOU feel?

They are out of touch with the real world while they are in the house so probably don't know about Burma and what we are getting is what the military want us to get. I think Gyps says it perfectly, if you were away from everything and everyone, how would one cope if your stuff was taken away - I wouldn't and I'd be a mess and I think Brigette is reacting as anyone would if there stuff was taken away.

I see you point through about being a spoilt brat syndrome when people are offering you things to help you but they are not your things and who would want to wear others unders - not I and besides be my luck all the girls wear g strings and I hate them and nothing would fit me because they pick size 10-12's as most house enterants. Never liked the show or watched it so I really am commenting from the ads I see/things I read in the papers.

Good on you Fly for thinking about her reaction.

Go Fly!!!

Hi! I agree with you fly; what a shallow spoiled princess. But then...the judgemental part of me always thought that the tanned-up, bleached blonde bimbo would be a shallow princess.

It could also be that I'm slightly jealous of her youth and great body!
