And the winner is....Predictability.
As predicted, Jamie took out the title of Mainstream Australia's Favourite Duffhead not three hours ago.This incessant drive to celebrate the most average of people was supposed to end with Logan Greg. After Tim amazingly failed to take the prize home last year, I was hesitant to get involved with the show's sixth outing.
Against my better judgement, my reasoning, my inner faith I was sucked back into the vortex once more! For a nano second, I truly believed Camilla might have a chance. That somehow, the 12 year old clones normally intent on freezing out the female might this once side with her instead. They might take courage from her articulate, forthright manner and identify with her occasional fragility.
But then, this is a country where teenage girls greet John Howard with giggles and hugs. How could I have expected anything more than crushing defeat?
To review: Australia voted in favour of an inarticulate wannabe Swede who lacks the knowledge of how to correctly wear pants and who spoke openly of having 'tender' sex with a Thai prostitute, RATHER than a confident, sassy, well spoken, intelligent and feisty female who appears so different to the general flipflaps paraded across our screens.
Big Brother, you are dead to me.

"...of having 'tender' sex with a Thai prostitute,..."
It would be tender now wouldn't it?
They all keep a gross of ping pong balls there.
I think she'd have to remove them given the truly horrifying proportions of Jamie's wenis.
I am not entirely up with the happenings of Big Brother, but I am glad Jamie won.
I hope him and Katie buy lots of stupid things with the prize money, or invest in some tragic business idea (JamKat hair products, anyone?), Reggie is getting old, we need a new BB winner in financial ruin.
Delightful Jen, you make a good point.
It cheers me up. The whole thing sucked. I knew the second Katie walked out and they ahd their feral little reunion that Camilla had no chance. And when Katie's entire interview with gretel was all about Jamie, it just sealed the deal for all those teenage girls out there. Camilla didn't fit into the fairy tale.
I can't believe the producers didn't see it as being an extremely unfair advantage and try to keep a lid on it. Then again ... Jamie is far more maketable than Camilla - and he wants to be a VJ! Axle Whitehead should be very afraid.
Sorry for hijacking your blog to rant, but yeah ... absolutely agree with you.
Jamie's win is an Australian tragedy if something like this would actually be remembered in five, three, or one years. $450,000 to a man who can't wear clothes, revealed very little of himself besides the thai prostitute and "sleeping with 11 women in two weeks in Sweden" and looking at himself in the mirror as if it were the very oxygen that sustained him. It was by far the most entertaining season since they actually incorporated a variety of ideas (tho I didn't watch the show in itself, Friday Night Games), but for such an ordinary twat to win speaks very badly for the show and for the voters of Australia, that's for sure.
It's funny - when Katie was dribbling on the couch about how her mother was so proud of her boyfriend and had said, 'You done good kid! HAHAHAHAHA' my friend Anais pointed out Jamie's own coiffed and polished Britplum of a mum and said,
"We can only imagine what SHE thinks of Jamie's little conquest."
I hate the way Katie kisses him, with her arms wrapped around his neck like she's in a Sweet Dreams romance.
I suppose the big tragedy will be Jamie sticking around to pop Katie's cherry, and then the immediate breakup so he can do the rounds at the nation's nightclubs. Perhaps $450,000 is enough for the required VD treatments...
Only good thing about the whole predictable episode is that the cashed-up Lunkhead will now have to endure the crazed jealous tantrums of his squawking thimble-brained mrs for a while...at least until he breaks up with her citing "it's just so different outside the house" [ie "now I'm outside the house, I no longer need to be connected with your semi-retarded Reggie-esque charm to win me votes with the Average Ashtrayan. Also, mum says you're common."].
I'm totally boycotting big brother next year, I have had it up to HERE with reality television.

PS AUSTRALIAN IDOL STARTS NEXT WEEK!!!!!!
Like I can't believe you people like dont like that guy, he is like the shit!
NOT!
I'm so disappointed that Camilla didn't win, I thought she was a far better proposition for housemate of the year, instead we get this nong who's headband is too tight, can't even speak english properly, and has this animal magnetism to anything reflective. Like I even like watched like BB in the first like place, and like I'll ever like watch it like again!

i have 2 admit camilla was an awsome housemate... but i believe that jamie was the rightful winner out of those 2 finalists as camilla 1- was evicted from the start but was allowed to re enter the house and 2- Made a fuss over john and ashley's so called 'turkey slap' incident. She made a a fuss about it even though she told b.b that she did not want action taken... but if she didnt run in the diary room and talk about how it affected her none of this would not have happened. When she said no/stop they did... it happens in everyday life guys muck around and sure they intentionally were going to sexually assult her when being filmed 24/7!!
Anonymous, you are a dill. She did NOT make a fuss about it, she actually asked BB not to take action about it, but because the incident had already been aired online, they knew they had to clamp down on it for legal reasons. Also, claiming that it happens in everyday life is both untrue and beside the point. Network Ten and the companies that produce BB cannot be seen to appear to permit this kind of behaviour. If they did it at home or at a party, then whatever. It's up to the people involved if there are going to be repercussions. But doing it on an internationally syndicated TV show / online broadcast changes those parameters JUST SLIGHTLY.
It was sexual misconduct no matter which way you slice it (even if you slice it OFF).
Whether Camilla "made a fuss" about it or not (and she didn't), it would never have made a difference at all to John & Ashley being removed from the House. From the moment the boys did it, the producers were going to have to remove them from the House to save themselves and the show -regardless of anything Camilla did or said the next day.
And as for her being evicted in week one, that was an eviction that was never a REAL eviction, because the whole premise of the show is for the Australian public to vote out the Housemates, not their fellow Housemates. The silly fools should have known something was up because SINCE WHEN do they get a chance to evict each other? Never, that's when. Only WE hold the power to decide who leaves the House and who stays. So Camilla and Anna were NOT evicted in the first week. It was a stunt for the revenge thing and was not an accurate eviction BY ANY MEANS. Camilla in particular was more worthy of sticking around to the end than Tilli or Elise, that's for sure. THEY'RE your real first evicted Housemates, so don't start saying Camilla should have gone in week one. No one leaves the House in week one. We have to get to know them all in a two-week period before anyone is evicted.
Strange that you chose to support Jamie with these arguments ANONYMOUSLY ...

Ahem. Anyway, before reading Anonymous' comment, I was going to say this:
I don't have time to do it yet, but I'm yet to leave my own lengthy posts on the final two nights of BB over on my TV blog.
I hope that when you say Big Brother is dead to you, you don't include Big Blogger??
Anonymous - Just because this stuff happens in every day life doesn't make it right. So does rape. And whether or not she made a fuss about it is besides the point. There's a real problem with our society if boys think it's a joke to rub their cocks in a girl's face. There's even more of a problem if she feels like she has to laugh about it, and even MORE of a problem if other people seem to think there's nothing wrong with this. And yeah...what Bevis said about everything else.
Bevis - Big Blogger isn't dead to me. I'm going to marry him and kiss him on the lips even though I got evicted. Grumble.
´...I was hesitant to get involved with the show's sixth outing.´
Pf.
For how many seconds? If you watch BB now, you will watch it forever and ever and your ears will never fail to prick up at its mention. All I know who are even remotely interested in it cannot stay away.
Funny. I feel like the old hag of the village pointing my bony finger and shrieking ´You too!´
