Deliver Us From Evil

OK now folks. Don't take the title of this post too seriously. I mean it. Don't make me reach through the screen and tweak your nose. :)

It's been really interesting reading all of your comments over the last couple of days. Some of them I've chuckled at, some I've gotten a little ticked off at, some had me literally laughing out loud, and some I couldn't even let be posted because they were how should I say it very 'over the line'. But I definitely had a response to all of them - whether I agreed with them or not.

And that's the thing with Big Brother - this social experiment.

How would I act if I was thrown into a house with others that I didn't know with the ultimate goal of being the last one standing and winning the big money prize after three months? I honestly am not sure. Truthfully, it would depend on the others that are in there with me because I would have to base my gameplay on the others' gameplay. Think about that for a moment.

I could say that I was going to go in and be nice, truthful, and honorable. I could also say that I was going to be a lying and conniving bitch. Either one of these scenarios may or may not work. It would just depend on the others in the house. Chances are though that I would be somewhere in between those two extremes.

Like everybody else, I have my character flaws. I'm too opinionated on issues that don't really matter in the grand scheme of things. I can be very moody. I also tend to be a little too aloof sometimes and not completely tuned in to the feelings of those around me which usually makes me seem like I'm an uncaring bitch or a snob. Those are just a few of my many flaws. These character flaws of mine could get me evicted very quickly in the Big Brother house if I didn't try to keep them in check.

The problem with that is, and this is a big one, the longer I would be in the house the harder it would be to hide those flaws from my fellow houseguests, viewers of the show, and viewers of the live feeds. Sooner or later my true self would come out whether I meant for it to or not. Couple my flaws with the flaws of my fellow houseguests and you get what we see happen in the house every single year. It happens in the U.S. Big Brother and in the Big Brothers that go on elsewhere in the world.

And that is drama my friends. That is why we watch. The hamsters have nowhere to go (unless they DOR or are thrown out by BB) and they have to deal with each other whether they like it or not. Sometimes it's shocking. Sometimes it's hilarious. Sometimes it's just downright painful to watch. Regardless though, it's why we watch.

None of the hamsters are perfect. None of us are perfect. To expect perfection out of them or ourselves is silly. To criticize them or ourselves for not being perfect is asinine. Making observations based on the actions they take and the words they say and comparing notes with others though is human. On that note, the word hate is a very strong word that I feel many are using unfairly and wrongly when it comes to discussing the houseguests. Think about that as well.

Personally, I would never want the drama that goes on in that house in my real everyday life. Not in a million years. But I sure as hell love watching it on Big Brother. And for that reason, I'll continue to watch the show and the feeds as long as they're available.

Now feel free my glorious commenters to discuss this post amongst yourselves. And play nice! :)

P.S. I would never go on Big Brother and say I wasn't doing it for the money. It would be all about the money honey. *wink*
