Erk to the Diary Room (episode 46 THE END)
Well it finally came down to ......um, sorry, I've got Big Brother in my ear ......... what the?The final 2 were ATB and Zacho and I would have been happy if either of them won. We got to see a lot of the other HM's except for Lara Bingle who was filed under "this is not happening" when she got drunk and abused hospital staff and assaulted police after watching FNL. Maybe she could have used that as an excuse and be let off but she pleaded guilty and was banned by BB from appearing. There was a short clip of her when it was her turn to feature but it was filed under "this is not happening" - no explanation given.
Longest. Finale. Ever.
The finale went on for ever. Voting closed at 8.45 EST and then they had to recount, recheck and recount again and it was obvious to even Travo that they were filling and padding when he said to Gretel something like "are you dog-paddling?" but to be fair to Travo, Gretel and Mike made it obvious that they were padding. Mike even joked that they were getting passers-by to count the votes and it was obvious that Gretel had a party to get to because by the time that Frysie added up all the votes on his calcualtor watch, it was a case of "announce the winner and let's get the f**k outta here" because they were late and wanted to get into the brittos.
The panto was funny to me in a car crash type of way and it was good to see both parents go into the house. I didn't like it when they brought the final 2 onto stage to make the announcement - to me, the announcement should be made with the people IN the house. Then you send the runner-up out, you interview them and the winner enjoys an empty house for a while and then it is their turn on stage.
After what seemed for ever (lucky for me, I wasn't watching live, thanks Boi!) the winner was announced and in a very close vote, ATB is the winner on BB07. Then after handing her an oversized novelty cheque (you can buy them on the interweb, by the way) it was time to go........viewers. Roll credits, there was no interview with either Zacho or ATB which is a shame but I don't know if you would get much out of them at that point anyway.
The finale turned out to be badly handled which turned out to be BB all over this year. As a BB tragic I hate to say it but it has to be said - worst. series. ever.
I hope that BB comes back next year and improves 1 million percento after this year's effort. Thanks to everyone who has read and commented on my blogs and especially to Jordy! You are a legend...... :)
Now that BB is over, I can go back to watching Foxtel and being able to go out on Sunday and Monday nights without feeling I am missing out on anything.
