Booing Big Brother

The return of Big Brother had millions, include myself, watching Channel 4 last night. There were some interesting and confusing things to notice and ponder on:

Bar one person, it was very noticeable, how these people were wrapped up in themselves. They say they don’t care what others think, don’t mind if they upset people and that they are out to ridicule others if it helps their cause. I guess this should not be a surprise as these people are here to win. I was slightly disturbed at how proud some were of their level of selfishness.

The on to the booing. Mary, who is a white witch and claims to have been abducted by aliens, was booed as soon as she got out of the vehicle adorned in hooded cape and carrying a broomstick. Was the booing disapproval of the evil connection, or was the booing a rejection of individuality? The fact is started immediately I find interesting and ask ‘why?’

Earlier the crowd booed Anthony for showing off his dance moves and trying to ‘woo’ the crowd. Maybe individuality is being attacked here. Those that got straight out of the car, waved a few times and shook a few hands were just cheered as they went inside the house. Interestingly, the very individual Kemal did not seem to get booed at all – so there goes that theory??

I’m confused but mildly looking forward to seeing what happens, although I will miss the first eviction as I’ll be on holiday. I hate the concept of reality TV, but find it strangely attractive all at the same time.
