Yay, more "celebrities of the future" :rolleyes: If I wanted to watch a load of wannabes I'd watch The Farm. Well at least people who suffer from insomnia will have something to send them off to sleep ;)

All these programmes are cr@p IMHO. The worst one was the Hell's Kitchen thing that was on recently, how two 'respected' chefs, swearing at their charges and being thoroughly objectionable passes for entertainment excapes me! And now more drivel - the first time I suppose it had some novelty value, but now - noooooooooo!!!!!
I must be getting old and crabby! :(

I put sellotape over the chip so that the box couldn't read the card :)

Anyway like I said this time E4 will be on freeview so she can get her 24 hour fix on there :) Sorted.

At first it sounds like a cruel yet amazing plan, but what if we sealed them in forever surely the filming would go on forever (not that it doesn't already)

but it was good whilst it lasted, maybe it could still be good if we sellotape the airvents too?! lol

More worryingly the executives would - on realising the housemates had all suffocated - just switch the show to the ultimate 'sick' format and just film the housemates decomposing.

It may be a poor show - but it's ALWAYS possible for there to be WORSE shows...

Staring out of the window, mowing the lawn, cutting my toenails ... anything but BB. I saw it in the schedules for tonight and my heart actually sank. I've watched the launch show in previous years but I just don't think I can stand any more of it. Hours upon hours of overhyped nothingness as we watch a dozen people - shock, horror - going into a 'house' (TV studio)!!!

.........and thats the last thing I'm going to post in this thread because (imo) BB isn't even worthy of an anti-BB discussion. BB is so far beneath my 'radar' that I can't even be bothered to slag it off :p:

Thankfully I have enough stuff taped to avoid it.
With BB the lowest form of entertianment gets lower each year:sick:. As someone once said they set themselves a low standard and then fail to reach it.

My theory is that Big Brother isn't so called because of the public watching the housemates, but Big Brother watching the public. Just as in 1984 where the proles are fed crass entertainment to keep them occupied so Big Brother fulfils the same function here (along with all of the merketing information they build up through polls, SMS signups etc).

that also explains the last 10 years (or more!) of pop music...

i managed to miss it and glad i have, even celebrity love island and the farm i despise all this reality tv, why would anyone want to watch a bunch of people do practically nothing but be put in to an area and be given 'time alone' or stupid tasks.

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh...

It makes there own meaningless lives look all the more meaningful? :shrug:

I've decided to take the difficult step of unsubscribing from this thread ... seeing as it appears to be frequented by closet BB watchers, rather than those who indulge openly over in the other thread ... :p: :D

TBH I cannot be bothered with BB to such an extreme degree that I don't want to talk about it at all - not even about how tiresome it has become. So I'm off. :)

Well it's week 6 and for some reason, it has not been so bad this year. Not in terms of entertainment, but in trying to avoid it.

I have managed to ignore it without any trouble. Other years, everywhere I seem to go, it was there. From people talking about it at work to it being mentioned on the radio.

Unless I have just become immune to it.

Anyways...it has been better this year. :)

Can I develop a anti big brother weapon, it is constructed of a giant jet plane, with 500gallons of highly flammable petroleum, and me throwing a petrol lighter ontop the "house" while they are in it.

Is this heap of steaming **** that passes as entertainment in some people's eyes over yet?

Has it finally been cancelled along with all the other 'reality' TV shows as people have finally realised what a load of b******s they all are and stopped watching?

Unfortunately not :(

You are just going to have to grin and bear it for the time being. :)

What is wrong with these producers?:mad: Have they no ability to learn when a particular type pf program has run its course and leave on a high note!:shrug:

I think the only thing that has not been done is "Art".

Take a look at BB ratings and you'll see it hasn't yet run it's course :)
