Are you talking to me?

Isn't it nice when you feel like your TV set is addressing you personally? Congratulations then to Newsnight, who hit the nail on the head tonight, just after I turned over for the last 20 minutes, after watching you-know-what on C4. Presenter Eddie Mair announced Newsnight's new broadband 'watch it again' service by saying,
"If you've missed any of tonight's programme - perhaps Big Brother was too much of a temptation..."

They sure do know their audience - in this house at least!

Special mention must also go to another witty line from tonight's programme;

"[The central Kalahari game reserve], which is, in comparison to Wales, as these things always are, nearly twice the size."


They either have new scriptwriters on Newsnight, or it's new presenter Mair writing these gems himself. Either way, it's very good, and so is he.

And while we're on the subject of BB6, Big Brother is messing with the housemates' heads again. Hurrah! Today, instead of nominating the two people they each wanted to evict, they had to nominate the two they most wanted to stay. Excellent twist. This had me wondering who they would each choose, and writing down my guesses. When I added them up, I realised that, purely by chance, I had written down each flatmate's name twice, and twice only. If this turns out to be the same as their real nominations, it will mean that all seven of them will face the public vort (sic) on Friday. Which will probably mean the end for Orlaith or Makosi, I would imagine. Still, they couldn't possibly end up with two nominations each...could they?

Here are my pointless guesses:

Anthony: Craig + Makosi
Craig: Anthony + Orlaith
Derek: Eugene + Kemal
Eugene: Derek + Orlaith
Kemal: Derek + Makosi
Makosi: Kemal + Eugene
Orlaith: Anthony + Craig

Let's see tomorrow how accurate they were.
