Reality tv gets real.
Merlin Luck is a genius.On Sunday night, Big Brother 4 evictee Merlin threw the live show into chaos when he decided to make a stand against the government's treatment of refugees.
I think it was one of the most beautiful, brave, and surreal moments I've ever seen on Australian television.
Usually when someone speaks out publicly about something I believe in, they let me down by being either a) stutteringly nervous, b) underprepared or c) a hippy. Merlin, however, played everything perfectly. From his steadfast refusal to utter a word on the eviction stage (thereby letting the protest speak for itself), to his concise, unemotional explanation under the aggressive questioning of dragon lady Gretel Killeen the following night - everything was handled with statesman-like aplomb. Truly, reality television got real.
As usual, some wag on ebay found a way to rake in some quick bucks. Do people even pause for breath before dreaming up the novelty item?
I think this is taking it a bit far though.
