Lisa: "the flowers knew it"

I was fortunate enough today to have been sleeping during Shaun "Mario Marconi" Astbury's incredibly sentimental and sincere proposal to Lisa Appleton live on television by means of placards through a window.

But of course since I view the Digital Spy forum at least 20 times a day I discover Lisa's made a wonderfully logic and sensible comment about the bouquet of flowers she caught at the fake wedding in the BB House between Shaun and the lovely Stephanie...

Apparently, Steven Hawking I hope you're reading this, apparently the flowers knew it was her turn next.

Yeah, that's right. The flowers knew. Did the bees tell them Lisa? Perhaps the wasps were hanging around when you were doing that task with chewing gum because they were trying to send you a message. Wasps get on well with bees Lisa. Well, they support the same team at least judging by their tiny yellow and black shirts.

So, nothing to do with you being 6 foot 2, towering over the rest of the housemates then?

Still, I believe congratulations are in order.

Congratulations, Shaun, on your embarrassingly shallow proposal. I'm sure you and Lisa will make a great couple and have a wonderful wedding, despite the fact that your already married.

Mario to propose to Lisa on TV

Evicted Big Brother 2008 housemate Shaun Astbury (AKA Mario Marconi) is to re-enter the BB house to propose to his girlfriend.

Astbury, who has been clawing his way onto reality TV shows for several years before making it onto Big Brother, will be given entry to the garden on Sunday where he will propose silently by holding up cards.

I'm sorry but his proposal to Lisa live on TV is the shallowest of proposals ever.

If BB bosses making you propose by holding up cards instead of using your own voice - and asking properly - isn't enough for you to say "actually, you know what, forget it" then you are the attention seeking fool that we all* believe you to be.

It shows without a shadow of a doubt that Shaun Astbury (Mario) is more interested in becoming famous than he is in his proposal of marriage to his girlfriend. It's an insult to people who want to propose with the right sentiment.

Lisa, though, will think it's amazing. Unless of course it's just as the majority believe - that it's blatantly obvious it was planned from before they went in the house. Is that why her eyebrows are permanently fixed - so she can portray a look of surprise?

Out of all the housemates he is the biggest wannabe. It's quite sad really, so shallow, so transparent.

I'd rather watch Rex egocentrically console Nicole as she sulks about a can of cider. At least that's honesty in motion.

* with the exception of Iain Lee who can be fogiven because I love him.
