Brian wins £100,000!

Thats it then. Big Brother 8 is over. We get our lives back. Well, that's something...

Fans of the show will know that last night, Brian walked out of the Big Brother house as a winner, and £100,000 richer. He received 60.3% of the vote and followed Amanda and Sam in second place, Liam in third place, Ziggy in a slightly disgruntled fourth place, Carole in fifth place, and Jonty (and Munkitty Tunkitty) in sixth place. When asked what he would spend the money on, Brian replied "I'm gonna go shopping!"

Series 8 has been an interesting one. Channel 4 narrowly avoided a race row right at the beginning, thanks to Emily's racist comment, Charley has been dubbed as one of the most hated people in Britain (and she's milked it), we've had spankers, gay museum obsessives, twins, old people break dancing... the list goes on. But unfortunately, we were left at the end with 6 (well, 7) people who all got on. Which made for quite a boring last week. But isn't that the whole nature of the show? If you vote out the people you hate, then the people left in the house should all be nice... right? Surely we should vote out the boring people, and keep in the people who provide the best entertainement. In that respect, should Charley have won? Or the twins? I suppose we wanted the money to go to Brian, and it did...


Anyway, Big Brother's over, and that signals the end of the summer. The days are already getting shorter (in England anyway) and soon the leaves will be dropping off the trees and we'll be wearing scarves and long coats. How depressing ¬.¬
