Just a quick note on Big Brother. After watching last night's episode and seeing with increasing horror the way that Darnell was brutally and relentlessly attacking Sara I am absolutely astonished that Big Brother hasn't seen fit to issue him with a warning or, more realistically, thrown him out of the house.
I don't think this is an over-reaction. His treatment of her has gone beyond the rejected-male-turns-to-digs-to-get-his-satisfaction thing into disgusting misogynistic bullying. Rex was obviously just joking, despite his controlling nature, evidenced by his relationship with Nicola, with Sara it had the feel of joking, and he had the sense to realize he'd gone too far and apologize. Darnell however...
Big Brother warned Mo about homophobic comments to Dennis. Big Brother warned Mo for playfully slapping Michael on the head.
Apparently the only people Big Brother allows to be bullied is women.
And then I turned onto Big Mouth to discover Helen Chamberlain taking the ladette thing too far and saying it was Sara's fault for not understanding blokes and some audience member saying she "deserved it". Am I reliving the 1980's?
