First Big Brother UK has a race controversy, and now the celebrity version has several members of the house ganging up on former A-Team/Battlestar Galactica star Dirk Benedict.
Seems like the girls jokingly "flirted" with Benedict, just to get him all excited and confused, but Benedict wouldn't fall for it. He lit up a cigar and told the girls to leave him alone. They talked about him and called him an "old man," and suggested that just a little more teasing would push him over the edge.
One of his tormentors decided to stop harrassing him and talk to him. That's when tears started to bubble up in Benedict's eyes.
Don't they know they shouldn't tease him? Are they aware of the friends he has, like Mr. T? Hell, with the background Benedict and his friends have, Benedict could probably leave the house and come back all he wants and the network wouldn't even know he was gone (it would involve some dummy that he keeps in the bed, maybe a recording of his voice, maybe a mask, an A-Team type of scam). I pity the fool that defaces the Face.

If Dirk Benedict leaves the house, I hope he re-enters by smashing through the wall in a Mr. T-piloted black van augmented with ersatz sheet-metal armoring welded to it and a jury-rigged flamethrower mounted on top. Those other contestants had better get ready to be flung through the air and land shaken but unharmed.

Cleo Rocos went on the next day, Bob, and in a "Make Big Brother Laugh" sketch, she pretended to be an American who was married to someone old("58 years older than me" she said)who had cancer and was impotent(Dirk had cancer before doing Battlestar Galactica and was impotent for a time because of it - he later cured himself with a macrobiotic diet!) and who shot her in the head accidentally(Dirk has made no bones about owning a gun, and hunting). No one in the house laughed at her idiocy...she failed the task.
Dirk has been the quintessential man's man in the house. He doesn't take any crap and he doesn't intermingle with any immaturity.
