A few months ago now, I casually blogged about the possibility of Big Brother returning to Australian screens. Today that dream became a reality when it was announced that a rebooted version of the franchise was bound for the hallowed screens of the nine network in 2012.
I can't even begin to express how pumped I was to hear this news however, I then found out that the host of the series is going to be that washed up, second rate former ballroom dancer Sonia Kruger. Now look on one hand I suppose I should be thrilled that they didn't somehow poach that desperate Natalie Bassingthwaite from Channel 7 because not only is she a pain in the butt but she is also the worlds worst autocue reader and I just couldn't handle spending another few months of my life watching her squint into the camera SYTYCD style......but then on the other hand it's bloody washed up Kruger. In case you haven't worked it out.....I hate the Kruger. I loved her in Strictly Ballroom (Best Aussie film evs) as the lovely Tina Sparkle, but every thing she has done since then has been ratshit and has led to a steady demise of my opinion of her. There are a plethora of things I hate about Sonia; I hate her laugh.....she sounds like an obese teenage biggest loser contestant struggling to breathe; I hate her mutton dressed as lamb split to the thigh dresses - you're not Liz Hurley love; I hate her cringe worthy banter and her fake TV personality; I hate her expressionless over botoxed face; I hate her yellow blonde and her bogan twang but the biggest thing I hate about the Kruger is that actually, she just looks like a massive bitch. What is she even doing on this show anyway? Kruger the cougar is probs just hoping she can chuck a Gretel and pull some 20 something contestant after his eviction from the house. Ugh. Sonia you make me sick. Haven't you got the memo that the whole cougar thing went down the drain with the demise of the Moore/Kutcher union?
Now I am not going to sit here and pretend that I am going to boycott the show all together due to Channel 9's crap choice of presenter (come on, even KAK would be better than this) because at the end of the day, I love nothing more than getting obsessed with trashy reality TV.......but I want everyone to know that when I tune in, I'll be tuning in begrudgingly.
