Erk to the Diary Room (Episode 17 - HM's painting a target on their chest)

It is my belief that some HM's in the current series have painted a target on their chest and labelled themselves in the house and this may lead to a pre-mature trip on the Bus to Evictionville.Instead of letting the HM's and the viewers work out what sort of personality the person has for themselves, the HM's have made it very easy for everyone to do so. Sometimes the target is good but at other times, it can be bad. The HM's can't always shoot straight so if you are near someone with a target on, you might get hit by friendly fire.


Here's a list of the easy targets (in no order) and what they could have done differently.


Jamie the Nerd - he came out and said that he is a nerd and is on a nerd crusade. This has clearly painted him in one corner. He tends to like one one one conversations rather than group discussions and group discussions are a major part of house life.


RTB - Of course, she came straight out and said that she is a Mormon. While someone's religion in the house shouldn't be an issue with other HM's, it could be if you make a big deal about it everytime the HM's want to get on the cans or have a "down to earth" or "in the gutter" conversation. She could have just said that she doesn't like to drink etc but is it an ongoing issue in there? Has anyone else in the house made a big deal about what religion they are?


ETB & BWNR - As the model types in the house, are they targets? ETB has shown that she fits the shallow blonde stereotype really well and BWNR is just a wanker. The least said about these two, the better. Looks only go so far.


TJ - My Myspace buddy Mike Goldman early on dubbed TJ as "The Translator" because she was the only non blonde female HM. This has made her stand out and the latest on/off/on/off/on/off thing with BWNR hasn't helped. I liked her early but her actions lately have put her into the "get her off my screen" mode. She'll be riding the bus with BWNR to Evictionville on Sunday I reckon.


Nick - Latest one in, he'll be out of there as soon as he can even if he is the token gay in the village (also see Episode 16 - the Token Gay In the Village). Intruders rarely last long.


Demet - She could have suffered from the last one in, first one out theory as well. However, her personality and being in the White Room has helped her. The HM's saw what she had to put up with to get into the house so they accept that she is a tough cookie. And she's hot (except for the "tramp stamp", I'm not keen on that). And she provides some entertainment because of her belly dancing as well.



Now here's a final thought (with apologies to Jerry). If I SMS "wanker" to 199 EVICT for Sunday's eviction instead of their name, will the vote go to BWNR, TJ or Joel? :P
