Big Brother's Best Bits: week eight

Noirin Kelly and Isaac Stout from Big Brother

It's the Noirin and Isaac show - but, surely, not for long…

Biggest jerk

Sorry to use such a horrible Americanism but the Anglo Saxon words reeling round my head in reference to Isaac are so much harsher on the ears…

Yes, Noirin's ex - the man she's still in love with and has been mooning over since the series began - is the latest addition to the Big Brother house. And, yes, he's instantly despicable.

Of course, anyone who in complete seriousness refers to themselves as "Daddy", but who isn't actually the father of a four-year-old child, is always going to be hard to like. But my real problem with Isaac is the pretence that he's "just chillin'" - that he is this reasonable guy who would love to be everybody's friend. Isaac is an arrogant bully. He reminds me a lot of Kenneth, actually, although his aggressive streak is just very slightly further below the surface.

In fact, the whole situation is reminiscent of what happened with Kenneth and Karly. Isaac is arriving just as Noirin is leaving (because, surely, she can't survive the public vote tonight?) - and, I hope, he's going to go the same way as Kenneth.

I don't know if Isaac will walk out immediately - after all, he is a hardened reality show personality (see below) - but it looks to me like he's going to end up on his own in a house full of people who hate him. Freddie doesn't like him, Marcus doesn't like him and Bea surely can't continue to be civil with him for long.

Of course, the person who's been put in the most cringingly awkward position is Siavash. And although I feel sorry for him, I must admit I've had to laugh at the looks of disbelief and mortification, and the neurotic conversations he's been having with himself.

Biggest revelation

What I hadn't realised - and what explains a hell of a lot - is that Noirin and Isaac met while he was filming a reality show in Australia. He has since made a career out of signing autographs for college kids and she's clearly been waiting for her chance at dirty fame too.

But even if you've decided this is a desirable way to make a living, why would you actively choose to conduct your relationship on television (yes, Katie and Peter, I'm looking at you)? Isaac joked that Big Brother has now become Isaac and Noirin: Newlyweds, but I bet he'd bite a TV producer's hand off if that show was offered to him, and you can only assume Noirin would do the same.

I know some sadists will be keen to see Siavash's torture continue but surely Noirin will be voted out tonight. And then, hopefully, we can see Marcus and the others chase Isaac off too. Maybe some of the crowd outside the house will want his autograph…
