05/20/2006: "I'll be first for BB7 news"

It goes without saying that the misfits, freaks and weirdos assembled for the seventh season of Big Brother are going to outdo all the previous contestants. Within the first 24 hours, we’ve had a taste of what’s to come with the behaviour of Nikki – a woman who refuses to drink tap water ("tap wartahh")and screams that she’s become a tramp because she hasn’t been able to change her clothes since yesterday. Although a number of the women on the show may qualify as tramps, I fear it has little to do with the lack of a suitcase. The men are no better, of course. Preening and self-obsessed, they represent about as typical a cross-section of society as the members of a peripatetic circus troupe.

Yes, it looks like an awful lot of fun. I’ll keep you posted with my thoughts on phil.com/philblog. Unless the World Cup gets too exciting.
