Big Brother 9 Gossip – The buzz begins with a blind man rumour

Well, it started again, or as Carol Anne, the little girl in Poltergeist said: “They’re HERE!”

Many viewers are saying they’ve reached saturation point, and won’t watch Big Brother this year. But then again, there’s a rumour that there is going to be a blind person in the house, and no doubt many will watch, ‘just for a bit’, to see how that’s going to play out.

I can almost imagine the Big Brother production team brainstorming this one: “What shall we try? We’ve done all the T’s: Transsexual, Tourettes, Twins. What else can we do that would attract the crowds again, and maybe a little controversy?”

So hats off to the brilliant marketing idea (if true). The question is, once they got the nation to take a peak, would they manage to find ways of slipping that crack-addiction-pipe that is reality-compulsive-car-crash-TV into our gaping bewildered mouths.

The verdict awaits in the ratings.
