So I have avoided making any mention of this years brilliant Australian Big Brother, purely because there are so many other sites (such as Ausculture) doing a much better job of the coverage than I ever could.

But after tonight's Gretel vs Michael incident on the Live Nominations Show, I have to step up and say something.

Bless Gretel for thinking with her heart instead of her head. You could honestly see that, deep down, she really felt that Big Brother would not dodge about with 'crafty editing', even though he very much did.

On Sunday, when the clip in question (Michael supposedly kissing David) was shown, do you seriously think Gretel was even watching? Surely she was getting her gown brushed down or getting a powder touch-up (we'll let you decide what kind of 'powder'). Yes, she jumped down Michael's throat but, quite frankly, don't you think he deserved it? Even though he was COMPLETELY in the right and Gretel was very much in the wrong, that was a lashing most of Australia was itching for Michael to receive whilst he was in the house, so why not when he made it out?

He was a rude bastard and a complete cunt to Gretel on eviction night too, he's a good actor so maybe he should have at least pretended to be somewhat of a nice person when he got out.

People over on the behindbigbrother.com forums are actually calling on Gretel to quit, as if she's a member of parliament or something.

Can you seriously imagine Big Brother without Gretel? Are you people absolutely fucking insane?

Obviously, you are. There would be no Big Brother without Gretel, end of story. Have you all forgotten how brilliantly she handled the Merlin incident a few years ago? What a cockhead he was, and yet she still delivered the remains of the evening with such spark and spunk.

I'll hear none of this Gretel bashing.

It's absolutely not on and completely un-Australian.
