Game on, mole!

What an intriguing few days of TV. No matter what is said about Michael v Gretal, the last few days have created more reaction than the entire first month of the BB06.
Personally, I think Michael is a bit strange, but I heartily congratulate him on castigating the hostess. Her petulant behaviour was, quite frankly, something I'd expect from a school age child. I gave her a few points for apologising, and thought that took courage, but in no way did it overcome her earlier outburst. I can't recall seeing anything like it on TV (other than perhaps politically sensitive interviews by journalists etc).
I think he held to his convictions, actually did stir things up, and for the first time, and despite Channel 10's droning arguments that "most just go under the radar" you certainly can't say that about Michael.
All in all, its very sad to see him go. But perhaps its a reflection that our society is a relatively polite one, we quite like "average Joes" and that BB just mirrors Australian society in that big, loud-mouthed, over opinionated people who stir just for the fun of it really are a bit annoying to live with. He made great TV, but you certainly wouldn't want to live with him. He was derogated by his insider role, and we never really saw the "real" Michael, if that was ever possible. I suspect in real life he's a tad manic, a little over the top, but probably just a normal, albeit tad hyper, guy.
Big boos to Gretal's outburst, I know she would have been under pressure etc, but it was absolutely woeful to watch her. I think under the circumstances, given a hostess with many years live TV experience, Michael actually did exceptionally well in that position, considering his status as new evictee and mere guest on a national TV show.
As to Rove, I was expecting a slapdown, but it never happened. Watching the interview gave the impression Rove was working so hard to ensure he was listening carefully that his one-liners had temporarily abandoned him. And Michael was trying a bit too hard, and whilst he had cogent points, it had a forced air about it all. So I think we can summarise by saying Rove appeared a tad scared, Michael appeared a tad forced, and the whole thing was a bit of a letdown.
Oh well, let's see what happens in BB07.
