I am glad to hear BB is getting the axe from channel 4 , just hope it dont appear on any other channel.
I just cant believe it runs for so long.
I understand the `Matrix` films but just cant see the point of BB.
I know alot of you out there like it. But now you can do something better with your spare time instead of watching a bunch of `odd` people 24hrs aday.
PS i have watched the first night , just to see who they have choosen, and yes they did have the odd stunner to be honest but weird !
I really don't understand this knocking Big Brother phenomenon.
There are some series that I have tried and I think are absolute rubbish - but I'd never think of coming online and mocking people who are fans of those shows.
I appreciate your post was lighthearted, Leics, and with no offence meant - or taken wink but - I just don't get it.

I'm not a fan of the show,but you know what bugs me...the people who slag it off but always seem to watch the first episode just to see who is in it...why?
If you hate the show and think people are sad for watching it,why watch it at all...bit of a contridiction.
So what telly shows do you watch?
Must admit I think that BB is totally contrived (as is most TV of course) shite. I'm glad its axed and can only hope that whatever replaces it is good or at the least less shite. My personal hate is Masterchef goes large - what a load of bollox.
As for not watching stuff if you dont like it - you have to watch it to discover you dont and then every now and then reaffirm how much you dislike something by trying it again.

Yeah !!! I keep having to do that with mrs f and the anal sex thing !!!
Look, if she doesn't like doing you in the back door just let it go. It's better for you both in the end (pun fully intended :giggle: ). :lol2: bolt
Each to his own, but I let out a little "yay."
It's the hype rather than the show that irks me to be honest- same as with most big money organised sports. You can steer clear of the programme- but the hype seeps out of every orifice. confused
As most that know me....would know.....I am a Big Brother addict and have been since series one. I love to watch the inter-action between people, seeing how they react to differant situations and scenerios. I love the bit where the get the socialogist in to read the body langage and attitutes. The program is known by everybody young or old in the country....and so I really to think it can be said to be ground breaking. The biggest problem now, is that the contestants in the show, have watched 9 previous years, and so know how to play the cameras and therefore the game. Big brother itself has not yet worked out how to deal with this. At times it has become stale. however this year the twists and turns in the show, have been fantastic. Channel four is still going to run it next year and without a doubt with the amount of channels now available on SKY or such like, it will not dissappear or go away.
One thing for sure is I shall be auditioning again last year.....now being on the last ever one.....that would be fun !!!!
i've never really watched it or followed it, i have caught several small snips of it as i've changed channel or turned the telly on.
It always seems to bee someone asleep or people chatting with the sound muted- must see TV eh? rolleyes
It was just on when i switched the telly on this morning and was basically the inmates running round a dark room screaming like a group of 10 year old girls who've drunk too much fizzy pop :sleeping:
I think it's a great loss to Venusian Chthonic culture. biggrin
i enjoy big brother, i dont enjoy football, cricket, olympics, neighbours, day time tv, films, or pretty much any thing else on tv, so i dont come here saying yeah football is going to not be on again etc.
its on for 12 weeks, so whats the problem?
to be told by someone i shouldgoand find something usefull to do instead is rather insulting.
its harmless and my free time to relax as i choose after working all day, i have a important job that require a sharpmind all day, i am not a idiot or a moron which i feel gets implied because of the programe i choose to watch to unwind.

The first couple of series were good, and the fight night series was brilliant.
The trouble is now that they go out of their way to find the most fuc-ed up people out there, and Channel fours dream time, was the race row issue.
It has become stale and has run out of ideas. They have said it is not a " commercial decision " that is bollox. Very few people now watch it to the figures that used too.
It has run it's course and they have made their money with the rigging of the evictions,and making money was always their main objective which they achieved.
I have watched very little of this series as the " housemates " have been so boring I would rather watch plants grow.

I choose not to watch it as I think it's a pile of twaddle, indeed I watch very little television for the same reason. What really pee's me off with Big Brother is I can't switch on the radio, open a newspaper, turn on the internet etc. without it being thrust at me at every opportunity. Hell, I even come onto a swingers website and they're bloody talking about it.
Fair points well made Dean.
I do hope the inherent problem of contestents ebing too "knowing" can be overcome.
Im glad it has stopped because it went from an amusing peek into people interaction to a freak show with a little bot of humiliation thrown in.
I think the X factor will be up for the chop soon. Its getting to the stage when you can predict the nature of the contestent simply by the mood music employed. I did so with that chap last night and even guessed cancer correctly although I said dad not brother.
i love BB smile
isnt it doing another show in 2010 tho?
??
and heres one for you, who can remember who was in this years BB? maybe it didnt make such an impact afterall??? x
