It occurred to me the other day that BB4 was very similar to the movie "Chicago". If you haven't seen the movie *BEWARE SPOILERS TO FOLLOW*....

Okay, so Chicago starring Catherine Zeta Jones & Rene Zelweger is about 2 loose jazz babies from the 1920s. Velma is the brunette, & Roxy is the blonde. Both are guilty of murder & incarcerated together. The two women don't like each other. Velma betrays Roxy, but the betrayal actually works out to be advantageous to them both. They both end up getting away with their murders & are set free. Velma & Roxy try to make it in show business, but no one wants just one murdering jazz baby in a show. So, even though they despise each other, they realize they must work together if they want to be rich & famous. Throughout the film, both women are despicable, & very capable of manipulating the people around them. Yet, you just can't help but root for them too, even as they're celebrated for the murderers they are.

Anyone else think that Arnie pushed his show into a mini replica of this movie? If so, then he should have bought some rights & let Jun & Alison sing more. I still like Velma & Roxy better...

Sometimes I still check to see what's new with post BB events... (mmm, nothing much is happening) and this caught my attention.

How appropriate is this comparison!!! It's exactly what BB has become, root and reward someone for being less than honorable. It makes you think if BB can only be played by those who possess those 'nasty' attributes, and only the 'lesser of two evils' can finally win the prize.

Jun and Alison have proved to be so with this year's BB.

Shoesforme...what a WONDERFUL analogy!! It is soooo true. Jun and Ali are really more EVIL versions of Velma and Roxie!!!

Haven't seen the movie yet but it sounds like a good analogy to me..except for the last part where you were still rooting for the movie characters...I couldn't root for Jun or Ali any longer...I was just rooting for BB4 to be over and that BB5 would be more similiar to BB2..keep someone in the house with a good sense of humor!
