With Davina (sporting some weird, unflattering heidi-esque hairstyle ) keeping the crowd amazingly silent until the announcement, the least-popular housemates only had moments to come to terms with their imminent departure.
Mohammad and Katreya proved to be the two with the least votes and their subsequent departures were difficult to watch and left me feeling decidedly uneasy. Sure Mohammad was not the most charismatic housemate ever and Kathreya proved to be openly manipulative over nominations in the last few weeks but I'm not sure either deserved that exit or crowd reaction. Despite their negative traits neither were as mean, spiteful or self-absorbed as previous nasties such as Luke, Jen or Nicole. Yet this lot were allowed to keep their dignity intact and have the standard eviction, with days to prepare mentally and preen physically. And, whilst the housemates reacted like someone had been shot to the new of the secret evictions, it most be hard to gain perspective when it dawns on you you have to leave your friends and meet a baying crowd with whilst sporting no make-up, an ill-fitting dressing gown and an oversized afro.
The crowd, incidentally, seem to become more ridiculously vicious with each series of big brother. However often we're told by 'Vina that its "just pantomime' it still leaves a sour taste in the mouth and last night was no exception. Is it really necessary to vehemently boo a guy who hasn't done much more than eat a few to many second helpings now and again, or scream insults at a 30 year old woman wearing a ridiculous dressing gown, who is visibly upset. Reports of coins thrown are worrying and you have to wonder how people can level the amount of hatred usually reserved for mass-murderers towards this harmless pair.
