Hira, the ghost of Big Brother past

A few thoughts on Hira from Big Brother 10. It is pretty obvious that Hira does nothing. Of course, she was Alice in the task and entertained with her epic cake eating, but on a personal level, she does nothing. There is no tension between her and anyone else, no love interest, no friendship, no nothing. Unlike Angel her aloneness never becomes loneliness. She is simply there. In this I think she could very be seen as the ghost of Big Brother past. Watch as other people argue or whatever and you'll see her wander through the background of the scene unnoticed like some apparition. As if she's from an entirely different years' Big Brother, destined to forever retrace her steps, with no heed to events in the current house. No matter how tense the scene unfolding before us, if two people go into another room to converse in private, she'll be there, wandering back and forth in a distant corner of the room, seemingly unnoticed by those having the scene. And it doesn't seem to stem from nosiness, but seems a compulsion, a compulsion to pace forever the Big Brother house...

Even her exercises, so gentle, seem to be just a trace of exercise, a reminder of all those who have ever used the Big Brother to keep fit, but a reminder which doesn't disturb the present.
When she does speak she is like some fairy godmother, encouraging, not so much offering advice, rather motivating, like some old housemate returned saying "do whatever you can do, do what I didn't, fulfill your potential," and then fading away, having engaged in the house but never really becoming involved.
She has gone beyond being merely boring. She has become the very figure of Boredom itself. And in this she is a whole lot more interesting than the tiresome whining of Lisa and David...
