5:45AM Seth | Die Power Der Veto. We assumed a headline reading, “Hitler planned ‘Big Brother’ style television to broadcast Nazi propaganda,” meant that the Nazi dictator was the John de Mol of his time. Turns out they were just talking about boring, old Orwell-style Big Brotherism: projections of the dictator speaking in public squares.

Prodded by host Julie Chen, who had already been given a fat dossier on the pair’s budding romance which included a number of X-ray stills from their quilt-covered shenanigans, Ollie extolled the many virtues of the Arizona auto-financing manager, then announced, “I got a question for you: Will you be my first girlfriend? I want an answer from you the second I get out of this house.” CBS would be fools not to capitalise on the event, mounting a lavish Ollie and April’s Going Steady Ceremony primetime special upon which no expense would be spared.
