Living The Life of Mikey
I was thrilled when I saw this week’s Sunday task on Monday’s highlights show. The housemates had to spend a day without sight. They wore blindfolds and worked in pairs. One was blindfolded, while the other was sighted and guiding them.
And who was the leader of this task? Mikey. Obviously. It was his responsibility to choose the pairs and to support them all through the task. Obviously, in the process, they asked him lots of questions about life without sight, which he happily answered. These included every sighted person’s favourite: “Do you dream?”
When the other housemates were asked how they thought the task went, Mario said that he learnt a lot from it. I was thrilled to hear Luke’s response- that he now has more respect for Mikey. I think that was Big Brother’s plan.
I’d like to thank them for designing an interesting, educational task in which Mikey could be fully included. Nice work, Big Brother.
