Im hooked to DSTVs channel 37 lately and Im not apologising for my wack taste in entertainment. So yes I have been watching Big Brother and all the other shows people hate like "Beauty and the Geek". Jack Bauer just doent jazz me, so Im not even going to pretend. I like shallow TV, the likes of E. Before you judge me too harshly, I have also repetitively watched all the shows on the History channel and Discovery. Like Tandra said, Im just a contradiction. Anyway back to Big Bro, there is this gal Meryl from Namibia that people already love to hate. She is waltzing around in her underwear in the living room and you can imagine the reaction of the housemates and the viewers. and then there is the south african gal Lerato who is a spontaneous and hopeless flirt, Them Bertha from Zim who is soft spoken, intelligent and interesting too. So these are 3 different kinds of sexy. The argument I had with my sister surrounding this was she didnt like Meryl very much because she was so obvious and apparently guys dont like that. But in all her obviousness, she gannered attention from the guys because there are guys out there who are not mind readers, they simply dont have the time or patience to decipher the "she likes me, she likes me nots". So gals like Meryl appeal to them because they make it easy, that doesnt make her a cheap w**** now does it??? As opposed to gals like Bertha who seem unattainable. Well granted they love the chase and the challenge of such conquests sometimes its not what its cranked up to be. I like gals like Lerato who strike the balance properly, not too obvious yet not to unattainable. In otherwords if I were a guy, I would date me. (hehehe) Then the Ugandan gal broke down yesterday and downright lost it. Some teacher of hers in Primary school touched her inappropriately. Gave her low marks just so he could have quality time with her. sad really, but how could she reveal all that on day 3 of the show. Anyway I guess sometimes talking to strangers is better. But they need to get her a shrink. It made for good viewing last night. plus My 5 year old power rangers obsessed nephew woke me uo this morning to tape some paper contraption to his hand. I was trying to squeeze in a few last minutes of sleep to I mumbled something to the effect of, "will do it when I wake up". Then he goes on to say, "but you are already awake". I didnt Burge so he threw a tantrum and yelled...."you know what I have realised A, that you cannot help anybody ever, Now my day is ruined!" Then he decided mbu he is going to meditate and I thought good idea. Its no wonder people dont believe he is only 5, meditate my a**! Then he goes to his camping tent that we pitched in the empty living room and found that my diaper-free niece had peed all over his comic. His day was now ruined for sure. Let me set about blog hoping. I hope someone is out there fanning the feud, its better than Diamonds Ensemble. Labels: BBA2, crazy nephew, Flirts |
I don't know where this whole myth of `Guys love the chase' came from. All I know is that they love some chase. Not for a chick to come and fall in their lap, but for them to nudge a bit and get some response. Like that ... you get.
In reality - when you bother to look beyond the misleading stereotypes and Mills and Boon novels - a chic who pretends she's holding out mbu to play hard-to-get and since guys love the chase ... well, another comes up, and shit changes really fast. Try the hard-to-get thing and see if anyone will kneel at your doorstep.
So, you're right on Lerato (or whatevs - me no watch no TV). She's somewhere in the middle. The nude belly dancer would be disgusting. The repulsive recluse would be ... well, repulsive.
And your five-year old nephew rocketh! :o)
