Big Brother fans remind me of Football fans

I've been watching a lot of this programme for most of the summer and have also been reading some of the forums, especially the Digital Spy forum. I would advise anybody to read the posts on that forum if you want a really good laugh. If you want to see deluded people, this is where they are.

The funnier side of the forum is the fact the rules indicate you cannot be libellous or offensive to other posters, all the while every thread is libellous to somebody and offensive to posters - usually fans of housemates they aren't fans of.

This is why it reminds me of football fans. It is because just like Big Brother fans, a lot of football fans these days define themselves on the football clubs they hate.

There is a character (characters is a word I use loosely but also directly) in the house called Siavash. I have to post something somebody wrote about him today, which hits the spot. Called Vesna, he/she writes:

I've never warmed to him.

People keep bringing up what Lisa did the first month as if anyone could forget it but Siavash fans appear quite able and willing to forget what HE DID the first month and since so heres'a refresher, sorry no links I don't have endless time although I do have loads.

Spitting in the garden with Cairon. Wiping his bare ass on the kitchen counters with Cairon. Gossiping about Angel with some of the early walkers and evictees and Cairon... actually it wasn't gossip it was vicious lies.

Moving on....

Telling Lisa and Kris that he doesn't like Freddie he's only talking to him because he feels sorry for him. Basically pretending to be Freddies friend, which Freddie fell for.
Making out that he's mates with Marcus and then CUTTING MARCUS"S GRASS. Hiding from Marcus instead of talking to his "mate" either before , during or AFTER.

Moving on.....
Totally disrespecting his girlfriend. Noirin said to him over and over to stop, reminding him of his gf but didn't stop him. 5 minutes into the "relationship" he asks Noirin if he should move to Ireland and where did she see them in 5 years. ewwwww

Moving on....
Discovering the sympathy card. Well it worked for Freddie why not him. He used that woo is me card for weeks even though after the first kiss, first night Noirin told him she wasn't feeling it, nothing would come of it and if they continued it would just be a bit of fun.

Moving on... the scrunched eyes and prayers during evictions even when he's not up. That has really annoyed me LOL. HOW LAME!

Moving on... his DR attacks on Charlie for what he admits are also his motivations. As with most of them in there they think Charlie has always been the favourite and the favourite to win so that is Siavash's target. If he KNEW that Sophie was his competition I have no doubt that he would be trying to break her down in the eyes of the public.

Playing the game, No probs with it. Wanting the money, again no probs. Heck if I gave up a whole summer I'd want to win too!

Lastly, the shaving the eyebrow... hang on now THAT is funny. He looks so stupid with ONE eyebrow LOL. I don't care if he wins anyone in there deserves to win, they did the crime and the time. But I've never warmed to him and at this point never will. I'm not wearing Siavash coloured glasses!

.......................

Now as well as this, the funniest thing this person did was to lie about having a girlfriend on the outside. It's quite laughable because nobody knows whether he has a girlfriend or not. Neither does he. Depending on who he spoke to in the Big Brother house, he either fancies somebody, likes somebody, is dating somebody, has a girlfriend, loves somebody and if he has said he has a girlfriend, it's been from anything of 1 month to over a year, depending on which housemate he was speaking to.

Now his friend said it's been 7 months. His "girlfriend" appeared on the show and said she was his cousin. She then said she was his friend. She came on one of the shows recently and said that it was something they had pre-planned. Although this makes them both liars and betraying people in the house.

Yet, I say this because one of the reasons people say they like Siavash is because he is supposed to be genuine. This reminds me of Arsenal fans, or some of them I'm sorry to say and the horrendously pompous and camp "victory through harmony" we go on about. We're a club obsessed with making money. Ridiculously disgusting means of making money from stealing players, to stealing from the British Public to stealing from the banks when it benefited us.

We are hardly genuine and neither is this Siavash character. He has walked over everybody in that house and then plays people against each other. While other housemates have been loyal to each other this individual has been viciously nasty.

What is hilarious and utterly football related is how some people find him attractive. Let's face it though, the kind of people obsessed with Big Brother and vote on the show are the type who barely leave their house so this Siavash and his hairy body, hairy backside, bumpy nose, awful complexion and scruffy hair and beard that has never been shaved (he is only 23 but looks 50) is the kind of pin up a Big Brother fan in all their locked away from the outside world existence will pine over.

The threads on Digital Spy talking about his good looks are the funniest things I have ever seen. They talk about doing sexual things to him and in between all that, a number of sane and level headed individuals will speak the truth - he is ugly and they can't see anything attractive in him.

Yet even more like the premier league is how the forum are targeting people who speak against Siavash. Digital Spy have banned anybody who speaks against Siavash with warning letters stating their partners (probably the companies in charge of and related to Big Brother) are their priority. Considering the shows that have been pro-Siavash lately, indicate they want a scruffily scruffy 23 year old man who looks 50 to win. It's further strange how his Father is also working ferrying guests in and out of the Big Brother studios. Which links him with Siavash.

Coupled with the Premier League, it makes you realise all the favours they have with the big four. If the big four make money, then the Premier League make money and they must work with mutual and vested interest to promote and support these teams for the benefit of their survival and rising income.

So, the more fans the big four have, the more money the premier league. After all the connections the big four have and also the money from billionaires, highlights how much growth is available for these clubs and the premier league.

The same is true for Siavash and Big Brother, for anybody who has perspective enough to see this. The most extreme exhibitionist will bring the most money. Endemol (the company in charge of Big Brother) didn't hide the fact they were distraught when Mikey lost Big Brother last year and the laid back Rachel won it. Endemol spent weeks (as they are doing with Siavash and also Sophie) to boost the profile of an ugly exhibitionist hungry for money and fame as they did last year but failed. Spokespeople and producers spoke about how disappointed and angry they were that a sane and normal individual won Big Brother.

Yet this is how the media fool the fans. That's me and you but then again, the media knows that in such an alienating society, they will play to the lowest common denominator and their cash because they pay their bills and for the cars that Siavash's dad drives.

Of course without debate, where are we? Even debate, in this light, gets nasty, especially when somebody like Siavash or a big four club and the romanticised notions we attach to these individuals because of the force feeding the media (sky, the press etc) mould the lowest common denominator in society who will part with their cash for their hero.

And what a hero... moulded and made for the lowest common denominator. I think Endemol are desperate for a winner that can help them get a new contract but here's a clue for Endemol

Sack the fools that destroyed the show for you. If they want idiots like Siavash to win the show - that's your problem.
