Housemates Hypnotised: Sure They Were!

I don't know what the deal is with hypnotism. I'm sure hypnosis is real enough, but not the type we saw in the House this week. Not the stage-hypnotist style of cheap laughs.

Peter Powers just reminded me too mch of Kenny Craig in Little Britain. "Look into my eyes, look into my eyes... 3, 2, 1... you're under!" How are intelligent viewers supposed to believe the whole "when I snap my fingers twice" crap they pulled?

Notice how the 6 HMs "most susceptible to hypnosis" were also the ones most likely to do any crap they're told to get themselves some airtime! I don't know what the deal is. Do they get paid to act like fools and say the whole thing was real? Do they sign non-disclosure agreements?

Anyway, Dixie and Rory were definitely not all that into it. They laughed through most of the scenarios. During the Restaurant scenario, Peter Powers told them all to sleep when Dixie had a mouthful of food. Now, we'd be led to believe that when told to "sleep" by the stage hypnotist, the hypnotised person will just do it. Dixie actually just looked him in the eyes as if to say "how am I supposed to sleep when I'm eating", leading Powers to go on and say that Dixie could sleep and continue to eat, at which point she unrealistically dropped her head, and kept on chewing! Hilarious, but utter crap.

This "special" was probably one of the worst BB has pulled. It was unrealistic, barely funny, and had no introduction or explanation of why it was happening. It was a waste of time, added no insight into the HMs involved (other than they are probaly in it for 15 minutes of fame), and provided unnecessary exposure to the "outside world".

At least the Carson specials were given purpose, and Carson is a much more outgoing and likeable guest. Peter Powers has no powers and is boring and childish.

Another One Bites the Dust

Travis has been out of the House now for almost 24 hours with an infected eye. He was ambushed by Nobbi, Rory and Ben when coming out of the toilet and got squirted with shower gel. Some of the product got into his eye and despite their efforts to flush it with water, it was still stinging.

During FNL, to add insult to injury, they strapped backwards binoculars to head and told him to play soccer! He was hardly participating in the game and the hosts didn't seem to know what was wrong with him. Shortly after this he was removed for medical treatment.

The OS states he was taken to hospital for treatment and they were waiting on doctors' OK to return to the House.

It has now been almost 24 hours and he is still not in there. Hopefully he will return tonight, or at least tomorrow. I wonder what they would do if he was not back in the House and he ended up in the bottom 3 for eviction. I guess he'd have to be exempt for the week not being there to vote on his behalf and so on.

Hopefully Travis is "locked down" and not with his family. A ninja is sufficient to keep him away from fans and outside interferences.
