Rex Discriminates Against Mikey
I’ve never liked Rex much. I am sad to say that I have just been reminded why.
The housemates from Heaven (Mikey, Rex, Mohammed and Stuart) spent Sunday night in front of a big TV screen, watching the audition videotapes of the housemates from Hell.
This was one of Big Brother’s better ideas. My problem with it, though, started when I saw the way Rex spoke to Mikey.
Rex was surprised by Rachel’s tape, so he turned to Mikey and said “I wish you could have seen that.” Newsflash, Rex. There are a lot of sensitive sighted people in this world who wish that blind people could see a lot of things. Few would ever dream of saying that to a blind person’s face, though, because we know that, no matter how much we wish they could see, they wish for their sight a million times more than we ever could or will, and they don’t need to be reminded of that.
Later, Rex told Mikey that he was “at a slight disadvantage because he couldn’t see them, because it’s all about the body language.” Newsflash number two, Rex. Mikey knows that, too.
All I can say is that after tonight’s highlights show, my family are very lucky that we still have a TV, because I was very close to breaking the screen!
