Some detritus


I have been overjoyed to see that the insertion of GG into Celebrity Big Brother (CBB) has made this artform a top topic on even the 'Victor Mature' sites of Lenin and MLMB as well in the yellow and high-brow press.

What I notice in GG on CBB is his articulated distaste for open sexuality and raunchiness of some of the contestants. Although this may be due to editing, it's been a leitmotif. To his credit, he also includes Dennis in this critique of distasteful satyriasis/nymphomania (expressed to Rula and in the diary-room), but the worst of his contempt is reserved for the sexy laddette 'girls', Jodie, Tracie and Chantelle. He would be appalled to hear his daughter, he said, use their language. However, he's clearly their emotional and intellectual superior, through age and experience if nothing else, and to an extent he is taking a bully function in the house.
