miss minnie said:from what i've seen, (only the wmv link and bblb) i reckon that bashing the alpha-males in this instance seems a bit unfair - emma and marco were guilty of severe provocation.
i could see jason and victor, clearly unhappy yet, biting their lips and hanging back for quite some time. considering the way that emma and marco - who seemed to rely on their status as being 'weak and vulnerable' to protect them - launched first-strike and sustained attacks against these men, i rather thought it was valiant of jason and victor to have waited as long as they did before venting their anger.
as a petite and 'feminine' but fiesty female myself, i am all too aware that some strong men will take bucket loads of abuse before fighting back and i think it is extremely unfair to take advantage of 'gentlemanly behaviour' in order to stir things up. it's very easy to attack in the knowledge that your victim is bound by social codes that will (hopefully) prevent them from taking physical action.
nope, in some circumstances i would be the first person to cry 'misogyny' or 'male aggression' but in this case, had i been either jason or victor, i think i would have let fly a lot sooner. i don't particularly like either jason or victor but that doesn't alter my opinion about the unfair aggession towards them.
i do quite like marco and emma but they seem to be very immature, rather ignorant, irrational and very emotional, imvho, and they could do with dealing with those things.
alcohol cerrtainly didn't help the situation.
endemol are as quilty as anyone, but it was certainly rivetting to watch.
as much as people may cringe at this sort of 'entertainment', i find it fascinating if not educational.
a caller on bblb suggested that the tape be played back to the housemates - now i reckon that would be interesting!
spot on, spot on.
. Vote jay I say 
guess who I identify most with.
