BIG BROTHER 3
by Anne Warman
It seems that people aged 15-35 are the only ones watching Big Brother
3. This time they might not see as many inmates getting drunk every
night and none of them have had sex - however intrigue still abounds
and much manipulating goes on.
Rumour has it that Channel 10 placed a mole inside the house to stir
up trouble. Supposedly they had previous connections with the TV station.
One name that came up was Claire, and her involvement in Belinda’s
decision to leave after the threat against Ben.
The problem with Ben is that he has given all police a bad name.
Several people have told me that Ben represents what some police
are like - liars,
backstabbers who think they’re better than everyone else. Is it any
wonder that people call them pigs when Ben acts like one?
As to what he thinks of himself, as an ex law-wielder, to quote “ It’s
not the badge that makes a policeman, it’s the man.”
To compare the Australian Big Brother to some of its foreign cousins,
the question is what’s the difference? In the wake of the widely popular
Big Brother 1, slightly less popular Big Brother 2 and Celebrity Big Brother,
this latest instalment seems to have lost its shine in the eyes of the
older generation.
An opinion poll on the Big Brother website recently asked what Regina
should do when she finishes Big Brother. One of the options was to
open a national
chain of Regina’s Fish and Chip shop! From what people have been saying,
Regina is certainly one of the more popular housemates, with her twangy
accent and sense of humour.
Chrissie seems to be the equivalent of Sara-Marie (bum dance fame).
Though, I must say, she doesn’t have the personality to go with the figure.
Jo has gone under much speculation. Most of it is about whether her
breasts are real. People have noticed that when she jumps, they stay
in one place.
Many of the backstabbing comments from Ben have been about this.
Patrick seems to be in the running for the prize money. I think, though,
that we can all agree that someone should give him some guitar lessons!
Saxon is a favourite with the girls on the outside of the house. Perhaps
it’s his surfer’s body or something but I myself must say that
I don’t quite see what’s so good about him. Most of the time
he just spouts rubbish and acts like an idiot.
Vincent, Saxon and Patrick all came under Jo’s charming spell. Looking
from the outside in, it looked suspiciously like she was playing one man
off against another. When she left, they were devastated. All I have to
say to them is ‘Sucked in!’
The two new additions to the house, Kim and Jamie, seem to have already
gotten up everyone’s nose, including the audience. I mean, the housemates
were getting ready to vote them both out in the first week!
Kim might be a hairdresser, but from the look of her hair, you would
never have guessed. Her loud style is sure to get on people’s nerves, especially
in the confines of the house.
With Jamie, I would surprised if he didn’t turn out to be the equivalent
to Johnny in the last Big Brother. Sometimes he can be cruel, and rude
to his other people in the house.
Daniel is certainly a man of many guises. You really never do know
what he’s going to do next. One of his latest things has been thieving
the housemate’s last bottle of wine that Big Brother gave them. Then,
as a practical joke, he fills an empty bottle with water and leaves it
on Kim’s bedside table. At the beginning he was a prominent person
in the house but just lately, he seems to have sunk a bit into the background.
Vincent is a man who doesn’t remain faithful. The minute he sees a
pretty face in the house, the next thing you see he’s growling in
her ear. Now, what’s happened to his girlfriend, I wonder? Though
I have to say, Jo can’t exactly talk, seeing as she flirted with numerous
guys during her time in the house. On her eviction night (not surprisingly),
her boyfriend Tim was so pleased to see her that all her sins were forgiven.

NEW ISSUE
TERM 3 2003
Ross Smith students are again leading the world in on-line publishing after the school became one of the first to feature student-produced videos on their website as part of the literacy project in 1999.
The Ross Smith E-View was started this year after articles were put onto an international schools website with wired.com, but in 2002 Ross Smith has made a magazine on the net for themselves.
