As
we keep being told, one of the rules of Not Very Big Brother is
that if ratings are flagging, we can change the rules. And this
weekend saw a first in our seven week history!
No
sooner had the Welsh rare bit Littla been unanimously voted out,
than viewers had the chance to vote an evicted housemate back in
and, after a not very surprising public vote at all, Little John
is back!
On
hearing that she would be leaving the house, Littla smiled and tried
not to cry. Hooray, who was responsible for her nomination, looked
visibly upset. With such convincing acting skills, surely it's only
a matter of time until we see him as 'upset relative of victim of
freak pole vaulting accident' in Casualty.
Littla
then went to the bedroom and told Nosh and Stuff, "Excuse me,
can I just say, my prediction was right!"
Well,
excuse me, but knowing that she was going to be evicted took about
as much psychic power as a banana. Even the chickens could have
foreseen that one!
Littla,
who has done for Wales what Edwina Currie did for eggs, left the
house to boos and jeers and that was just from those she was leaving
behind.
And
if the eviction of Littla was about as surprising as Christmas Day
being in December, then Little John being voted back into the house
was equally as shocking.
But
back he is and oh how we cheered! Realising the error of their ways
in voting out the only interesting character of this tiny series,
the little legend was hauled out from the back of the drawer where
we had stuffed him and returned to the house - to the amazement
and plastic delight of the others.
They
were so shocked that they all slipped out of character for the briefest
of moments. Camera-on didn’t mention South Africa for a full
two minutes, Stuff let some dust settle, Ray was sober, Nosh tried
to sink into the background and Hott said something interesting.
But
so far Little John’s promises to stir things up have fallen
by the wayside. But remember, you can’t make interesting viewing
out of a pig’s ear - or something like that anyway!
Knowing
what he knows, but with them not knowing whether he knows what he
says he knows or not, will he know what to do? And do we actually
care?
Not
Very Big Brother will get back to you.
