I was really sad to hear the news today that one of the members of the very first Big Brother household died in a hospital in China.  Gordon “donkey dick” Sloan (also known as Flash Gordon) became a larger than life character in the channel 10 reality series 7 years ago when reality TV was quite new to Australia.  He was a huge boy who would fill the days in the house by doing hundreds of crunches and thus had an amazing body.  His fame followed him to Iraq where he was to become a human shield there during the war in 2003. He also helped set up a shelter for homeless children.  I last saw him in one of Tim Brunero’s interviews on Ohbrother.com during this year’s Big Brother series.   The rumour is that his death was drug related.  He was just 34 years old.
