The morning after

Well, it is our sad duty to confirm that there IS a God, and that he did want Pete to win Big Brother after all. The very idea, eh?

Perhaps Pete's victory was inevitable, but there was much from which we can draw comfort in last night's live final – not least the fact that Nikki could only manage a dismal fifth place. What was considerably less comforting was the sight of a clearly traumatised Nikki struggling through her eviction interview, and we were happy to see that this was drawn to a close fairly swiftly.

Also deeply disturbing was Pete's post-victory interview.

"Last year," he told Davina, "I was absolutely at the end of my tether with life and I had a huge visit from my mate in heaven and he showed me a spiral and at the top was heaven and the only way to remember who I was, was to go on Big Brother and win. That's the only way to find who I was."

Well, we don't mean to be rude but - whatthefuck? Pete's clearly a troubled soul, and we hope that his victory brings him the peace of mind he seeks, but those are not the words of someone with a very firm grip on reality. If, say, Shabaaz had come out with that load of old pish on day 4 he would have been in a padded room in the secret house within seconds, wondering what had happened to his shoelaces. And if one of the girls had said it, the baying crowd would probably have burned her at the stake.

There was at least one genuinely joyful moment, though – the look on Aisleyne's face when she realised Nikki had been evicted ahead of her. Let's just have a little look at that, shall we?



THAT'S our winner!

Aisleyne was the only deserving winner last night and I'm so glad she has beaten Nikki - Again.

Aisleyne also beat her when Jayne put the whole house up!

Aisleyne has proven to be more popular than Nikki! WOOOOOO well done Aisleyne! <3

About Us

According to Marxist theory, cultural forms such as opera, classical music and the literary works of Shakespeare all fall under the heading of high culture. Low culture refers to a wide variety of cultural themes that are characterised by their consumption by the masses. We might not be Marxists, but we do know we loved Footballers Wives. If you do too, you'll know what this is all about.
