Lee is out - Hooray!
His response to Jasmine when she confronted him in the house earlier and his response to Emma Willis when she interviewed him on his way out were both pretty incoherent. He can't explain what he has been doing or what he was thinking, not in a way that makes it OK, because it is not OK. It only makes the most basic kind of sense, too.
He did what he felt like doing at the time and he said whatever he thought would pacify the person in front of him at the time...and whatever would enable him to keep doing what he felt like doing. He lied rather than telling the truth if it was easier. Lee Ryan had no concern about anyone but himself throughout his stay in the Big Brother house. His main concern other than his own immediate gratification or easy life was 'how he was coming across' and 'how things looked'.
Even when one of his mini conquests was reduced to tears Lee's only concern was annoyance at Casey for making him look bad. When Emma Willis started to discuss with him how he had behaved and been perceived, he suggested that the headline would be 'Lee Ryan, Love Rat'. When he seemed to have got confirmation from Willis that this indeed was how he had been perceived, he raised a hand in the air and said 'Yes!'
I do not think that this triumphant gesture was entirely ironic. I do think he is pleased that he has been noticed and discussed in the media and by the public. The self-proclaimed title 'Love rat' is to him a badge of honour. It shows that he, as a washed up, flabby, 30 year-old 'boy band' member, still has it and is still a marketable 'celeb'. He has only demonstrated that whilst he has sustained some of the losses of advancing age, he has achieved not of the gains (like maturity for instance).
If celebrity stunts your development to such an extent that you care for no one but your self and nothing but your image and conduct your love life like a 15 year old boy, then it's probably just as well if his star is in its descent. Maybe without as much limelight he might grow up? No probably not.
Really too bored with the whole debacle to discuss it any further as, clearly, is the nation.
So it only remains to say, good riddance!
