Reply to: Big Brother starts tomorrow

I'm not a fab of BB either - but my flatmate will watch it, so I will bitch about it Then I'll watch the final and bitch some more.

A few years ago E4 showed the American BB - it was brilliant, way more bitchy then the UK one as your vote was known to the rest of the house - made for some impressive rows.

Pogle, I wish I had your restraint, I read all the crappy magazines and am ashamed to know the state of Jordan & Peter's marraige.....

Its not restraint, I'd just rather read Private Eye or New Scientist or National Geographic, I'm just a saddo geek i guess.
I'm a girly when it comes to clothes, handbags and shiny stuff tho - so its not all bad news

I confess to following it once - several years ago, but I really cant stand it now. I dislike all of this reality TV crap. I just think its an excuse for cheap TV for the masses. I also hate soaps, hospital dramas, talent shows and anything with celebrity in the title. I don't read womens magazines and have no idea who half of these so called 'celebrities' are.

I am currently more bothered about the lack of separate Physics, Chemistry & Biology teaching in our schools than the state of Jorden & her marriage

Basically, I'm a grumpy 'not so young', woman

Bugger I don't remember creating a female sockpuppet, I suppose the schitzo personality has kicked in.

It will be the usual demographics again.

2 gay folk
3 bisexual folk
1 homophobic person
1 older person
4 good looking young people with no chat who we will see for the next year on tulip magazines
2 people with obvious borderline personalities
1 foreign person.
possibly 1 transexual.

When it gets dull (3 weeks) they will drip feed another 5 folk in

Used to be good, would only watch it if i was prewarned there was going to be some 'event'. It was better when they just left them there to rot and they went fruit loop with the boredom.

My bet is on the "Psycho Singing Bint" from Britain's Got Talent. <---- Don't know her name.

The first series was interesting when the contestants weren't aware of the outside publicity, but the subsequent series haven't been c**P.

WHS , it's now just a freak show

I'd rather pull my pubic hairs one by one, than watch this "entertainment"

I'd rather watch.............

You forgot pedantry

Oh don't be such a pedant !

[Pogle]

Can we have a new Forum please (suggest we call it 'Birds and Manbags') to allow people to discuss stuff like Big Brother, Eurovision, Strictly Come Dancing, Gok's Wok etc etc?

Let's keep 'General' for petty squabbling, taking the p1ss, mild abuse, sport and irrelevance.

At least Cojak and Xen will be happy.

I've said it before, I'll say it again ...

1. BB had the capacity to be a fascinating experiment in group psychology - and blew it on the altar of entertainment and salaciousness

I don't know if I said it before... but I agree this time.......
