Facehead

Every living person on earth has a head. Usually you'll see heads sitting atop a neck, sporting a face in front on the bottom half. Nothing to be concerned about. Occasionally though, you'll spot a facehead. This is where the face is so large that it eclipses the head, the head becomes incidental to the sheer scale of THE FACE. I've drawn this diagram to help you identify a facehead:

Lady Gaga pretender "Sunshine" from this season's Big Brother is a classic facehead.

She is so proud of her massive face that she bleets from it constantly at top volume, waves it around and thrusts it at lesser faces. Imagine that thing flying towards you, screeching about shopping lists and making a bad romance; that's the Big Brother experience this year. Oh, I love it. Nothing in the world fills me with more pointless anger than Big Brother.

We're almost two weeks into Big Brother, I'm enjoying it. My favourite moment so far was when Mario snuck away from the other housemates to trash the pizza party that John James was preparing; Big Brother stalling John James in the diary room all the while with ever more desperate conversation, "So...what will be your pièce de résistance?" It got even better when the other housemates discovered the destruction and just decided to eat the pizza from the floor.

Friday was the first eviction, good-bye to bargain-bucket Beyonce Rachael and her shiny shiny legs à la Bo' Selecta Destiny's Child. Lardilicious!

For anyone who's never watched Big Brother I've outlined Nicky's eviction night emotional rollercoaster:

SHOW BEGINS: Feel intrigued. Who will be evicted? Looking out for interesting placards in the crowd.
LINES CLOSE: Angry now. Caught up in mob mentality and baying for blood. Express this by chanting.
EVICTEE ANNOUNCED: Disappointed. My predictions never come true. Am I that out of touch with public opinion? Disillusioned with life and humanity.
THE EXIT: Fixate on evictee's face as he/she leaves the house. Schadenfreude. Also shame.
THE INTERVIEW: More shame. As interview progresses start to think evictee isn't so bad, actually seems quite nice!
SHOW ENDS: Lament loss of brilliant housemate and all-around fantastic person.

Anyway I have high hopes for this year's Big Brother. Haven't decided on a favourite yet though, any suggestions welcome.

  1. Awesome, I hate Sunshine and her face, too.

    Ben is my favourite. I liked when he said, "Is this the England football squad?"

  2. I liked Ben at first because I thought he was going to be very witty and urbane (witness his Boy George comment on his entrance to the house) but he's disappointed me; his crush on the unremarkable Rachael, his overall neediness. I now find him wussy. It's early in the competition though.

  3. Read my blog about BB launch night, we have hauntingly similar values.

  4. he dose seem wussier than I first thought.
    I don't have a favourate but this may be becuase i can't watch big brother of my own accord. Makes me want to cringe into a comma shouting and embarassing incidents, oh dear.

    I saw a typical facehead but was also a milk sop in town, she looked unhappy with her situation
