Dull, dull, dull.

Nice but dim

Lovely girl... I dont exactly know what BB fans want... They say they just want normal housemates but Hira is a normal girl yet people cant take to her? I guess we are used to the freaks, weirdos and over the top housemates ....

I'm not interested in freaks, but I'd like to be entertained by HMs. The only time she did that was the talent contest and if she'd showed more of that side of her personality, I wouldn't have found her so dull, dull, dull.

The problem here, of course is that because of the lack of 24/7 live feed, we simply don't know how entertaining Hira actually was. For example, she was involved in the quiz task, but we were never shown that.

I found the montage of Hira's "best bits" on Friday very interesting. Far from the old joke of BB struggling to find clips, the montage was full of clips we hadn't seen before. For example, we'd previously seen virtually nothing of Hira in the DR.
Also, the "Alice in Blunderland" sequence was an illuminating example of the power of editing: quite a few FMs said that if they'd seen that first time round, they would have liked Hira a lot more.

Hira's eviction %age was 5.65% - a very exact figure which suggests to me that there was less than 0.1% in it. There is a thread on DS which implies that the voting was so close that Hira lost because she got very little coverage on Friday's HL show. Although I'm dubious of these claims, it is interesting to note how much coverage she got on the Saturday HL show...

For every task in which HMs are individually involved we should be shown at least a bit of each one of them. In a one hour HLs program this should be possible. It's another way in which bias is instilled into the program.

Although I admit I've an axe to grind over Hira's (lack of) coverage, I do agree with you.
The quiz is a classic case in point, as its HL coverage was entirely biased towards Marcus. The only HMs whose contributions were shown were Lisa and Marcus, and it's a sure bet that Lisa was only shown because Marcus kept going on and on about toads...

Same with the entertainment show. They had to show Hira that time because she won, but what about Dave? From what I saw, his routine was funny, but nothing was shown. And I've still got virtually no idea what either Marcus or Bea did...

That she is.



And nice.

"What was your motivation for entering the Big Brother house?"
"I feel there's a lot of ignorance about the difference between Pakistani and Indian girls. When I walk down the street in Dublin, people always presume I'm Indian."

Hmmm... I wonder if Hira's been told yet about Bea suggesting that she would have been culturally "more at home" on BB India...

Marcus told a story, probably similar to one of those on his website that was posted a while back.

Bea gave fashion tips.

Rodrigo sounded the worst he was just sticking a load of custard creams in his mouth. A 20 sec clip of the end of that might have been enough in that case, but it would have been nice to have at least a small clip of each one as I said.
