Big Brother Celebrity Hijack

Post categories:

Mistajam | 13:38 UK time, Friday, 4 January 2008

I really love the fact that the terrestrial TV channels in the UK have heard our cries and all now offer a chance for you to watch any shows you missed online. ´óÏó´«Ã½ have got their iPlayer, ITV have got and Channel 4 have got . Why am I telling you this? Well, thanks to 4oD, I have just watched last night's Big Brother Celebrity Hijack and I'm really worried for our Nathan.

In case you haven't seen it yet, it's basically a new take on the Big Brother format - rather than Big Brother being a faceless Channel 4 TV production member, they have got a different celebrity to take the role of Big Brother each day (or week, I'm not too sure!). The housemates aren't people that have sent in cheesy embarrasing demo tapes, they're a selection of 'gifted and talented' young people that Channel 4 have found and auditioned.

The celebrities who will be Big Brother have total control of the house - they can change the rules, make the housemates do whatever they wish...and that's where my fears come in. Last night, Matt Lucas (he the bald fat one from Little Brother) was the celebrity in charge and he made one housemate make a complete and utter fool of himself while he was meeting his other housemates for the first time. Matt gave the housemate John an earpiece which let Matt dictate exactly what John should do and say to his new housemates. If John was successful, he would win an instant pass to the final and a party for the house. If he failed, he would be instantly up for eviction every time there is a public vote. A few choice tasks included telling the dancer he just met that she was a disgrace to the dancing field; asking the fashion designer in the house who is blatantly 5 sizes smaller than him if he can try his shirt on and also randomly saying 'cake' to housemates. Nice first impressions eh? This could be completely credibility destroying for young Nathan. Here's hoping he comes out unscathed.

Big shouts to Calista though for giving 1Xtra a mention...
