Kenzie Watch: Day 17/18
All good things come to an end, but so do most bad things and pretty much everything in the world that isn't a circle, and so it was that Celebrity Big Brother ground to a halt last night after two and a half weeks of fights, tantrums, fun, friendship and undercurrents of homoerotic tension. Quite a lot of the latter as far as we could see, to be honest. Channel 4 decided to rush through the highlights of the last two days, presumably realising that with Kenzie's 'boy' - his words - out of the house, the three remaining housemates were unlikely to get up to anything that exciting, they were pretty much correct, although Kenzie's incredibly bad dancing to (I've Had) The Time of My Life in his boxer shorts is likely to live with us for a long time. They were also asked to compose a song to commemorate their time in the house, having to write a verse each. We feel that it's in his best interests for us not to record for posterity Kenzie's contribution. There was also some massaging going on between him and Brigitte, but that was clearly just a rebound thing as Kenzie tried desperately to find something to replace Jeremy in his life.
As for the final, well, despite our best efforts - which didn't, to be honest, include actually phoning up and voting ourselves - Kenzie was not the winner, that honour went to Bez in the end, although the majority of the evicted housemates backed Kenzie, rather than the actual winner. Kenzie declared himself happy to be second, reasoning that he must have been doing something right and, when Davina brought up the fact that he'd been hoping to get some action inside the house, Kenzie happily responded that he was "looking forward to a bit of action outside the house" and giving a quick glance over to the assembled evictees. Then there was time for a quick hug with Jeremy, although Caprice forced herself in on the act, before the focus shifted to Bez, the fireworks went off and all 9 contestants steeled themselves to return to the slightly well-known life that they'd known before all this happened and now all we have to look forward to is Jeremy and Kenzie stepping out together at a movie premiere and Kenzie himself appearing in an ad for the Egg Marketing Board. Let's hope he does, anyway, as it's either that or a new Blazin' Squad single and that would truly be the most evil thing that Big Brother could inflict upon us.
