Big Brother 7 - Sam is Evicted

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Sam became the third housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house after receiving 53% of the public vote against perennial whinger Nikki Grahame.

Newcome Sam, who entered the house after a fortnight alongside Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace was available at 5/2 before nominations were announced as Grace Adams-Short was the early favourite to face the boot.

Public opinion on the 20-year-old dance teacher has changed dramatically in the last week or so after viewers have seen her two-facedness on the highlights programes.

On Monday 5 June, the day nominations took place, Grace was favourite to leave at even money due to the public likely to vote her out no matter who she was up against. Plus, her close ally Imogen Thomas was banned from nominating for the second week running. Lisa, who may also have supported her, was also banned after being caught discussing possible nominations.

The odds were as follows before the nominations were announced:

Grace - Evens

Sam - 5/2

Lisa - 10/1

Lea - 10/1

Aisleyne - 12/1

Richard - 16/1

At this point the 5/2 available on a Sam eviction looked exceptional value for money as he / she should have been odds on. Many of the housemates had confided in each other or in the diary room that they had grown tired of the gender bending unemployed nail technician (seriously) for a variety of reasons.

Grace and Lea both complained that Sam stands nearby when they are about to use the bathroom and Nikki expressed her disgust at it’s practice of taking the concept of “girls” going to the toilet together to an extreme level.

Glyn said he didn’t like the way Sam followed him around, that he’s too clingy and is desperate to get on with people. Sam always needed reassurance that she was close friends with the other housemates when they were not that interested.

The fluctuating odds on the betting exchanges while the housemates were going through the nomination process suggested Sam and Lea would be up for eviction as Grace’s price drifted further out.

The confirmed possible evictees were Sam who immediately plummeted to 1/4 while Nikki was available at 5/1.

There was no way that Nikki was going to leave and was shown in a positive light during the run up to Friday, being given the role as PA to Big Brother during a task while some unsavoury late-night footage of Sam was broadcast for viewers morbid curiosity.

Sam was favourite to leave from then on and was evicted with 53% of the vote, suggesting it was more closely contested than the bookmakers and weight of money against him / her suggested.

Cartoons in the 80’s: A Golden Age

Monday, July 21st, 2008

As a child, I remember sitting in front of my television every Saturday morning with my sisters, anxiously waiting for Muppet Babies (1984-1992) to come on. Once the theme song began playing, we just knew that all was right with the world. In our world, we played with Gonzo and Miss Piggy as they soared into outer space; we rode rockets and walked on the moon alongside the characters. All the while making it home in time for Nanny to tuck them into bed, and our mom to make lunch.

Another cartoon I remember fondly is the The Wonderful World of David the Gnome (1988) on Nickelodeon. In this show, we followed David and his wife, Lisa, as they traveled through the forest rescuing various animals and people, all the while outwitting trolls who were nearly twenty times their sizes. Although it didn’t come on Saturday mornings, my sisters and I were fans, and still know pieces of the theme song today. “Look around you, there are many things to see, that some would say, could never be….”

At the ripe, old, ages of 17, 20, and 21, respectively, my sisters and I still discuss the cartoons of our childhood; cartoons that we remember warmly and smile when we think about as we work on our resumes and study for exams.

The “Good Ol’ Days,” as we have to come to affectionately refer to the period between 1984 and 1991, were comprised of shows that captured the essence of being young and innocent. They were simple shows with simple messages, and they allowed us to explore worlds with our “friends;” despite whether they were smurfs, turtles, or chipmunks, we knew them and their hopes and fears. From these creatures, I learned about family, friendship, loyalty, and honesty; all lessons that I have carried over from my childhood, and into my adulthood. One day, I will teach my future children what I learned from my “friends” in the way that they taught methrough simple, direct, intelligent, language.

Today, when flipping through the channels on a Saturday morning, instead of seeing Muppet Babies, there is Dora the Explorer; instead of seeing David the Gnome, there is Spiderman. In general, cartoons today seem to pander to their child audiences; children don’t expect much, so they shouldn’t be given much by way of story or characterization.

Of course, there are exceptions, as there are always exceptions to generalized statements; however, for the most part, cartoons today do not capture the charisma of the cartoons from the 80s. In this respect, I feel almost sorry for today’s children, because they missed out on a time when cartoons were truly great. They will never know how it felt to ride on Swift’s back as we raced through the forest to save a fellow gnome; nor, will they know what it was like to travel through the walls of an old house with little people in The Littles (1983-1986).
