Did Merlin take it too far?
Posted: Mon Jun 14, 2004 1:56 pm
If you are wondering what this topic is about, it is in regards to Merlin's eviction on 13 June 2004. Once he began to walk down the ramp to the Eviction stage, Merlin put a piece of tape over his mouth and carried a sign which said "Free The Refugees". He then refused to speak to Gretal on the Eviction stage, making a political statement.
-----------------------
I for one think he did take it too far. He could have pulled out his sign and held it up whilst walking to the stage then put it away once with Gretal. Gretal would have questioned the sign, as with every interview he would attend afterwards. He could have been grown up about the whole saga, instead of making a dick of himself. He would have hurt his cause more then helping it.
However, it was quite interesting to see BB go into panic mode. Gretal was not happy that the show was not going to plan. Though she was quite harsh telling the audience to SHUT UP on a number of occasions, I liked the way she handled it all. We all know its "Gretal's Show" anyway.
Crossing back to the house was proof they did not know what to do. I wonder if Merlin breached his contract by making a political statement?
What is everyone else's opinion?
