The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Well, in a related post it was suggested i we set up a big brother hater thread :) So... i did.

I just can't believe our nation allows such a waste of space in the TV schedule. And is it me or do the contestants get more and more annoying each year? The best winner so far was Kate, cos she seemed a little more relaxed and a little less... well, Chantelle-like (That's the newest winnders name right?)

Grrr, silly, BB7... whatever next...:td:

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

One of the biggest wastes of time and money. There is noting 'real' about these so called 'reality' programmes.

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

How many of them will be knobs/chavs/whatever this year?

How many of them will make careers on TV from absolutely no reason at all?

I see no reason at all for Big Brother - sounds like this is gonna be a good thread!

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

It's been going more and more downhill every year.
It should be banned. There are much more interesting things to do in life than to watch people shouting abuse, sleeping, or talking utter rubbish.

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

All of them, as they always are, oh, with the exception of Kate. No, wait, even Kate was... Thing's just don't look good do they?

There is... I suppose, the reality that it has come down to this to fill space in the TV schedule... Oh, and the reality that people actually sign up for this crap... (In their thousands i may add)

That's exactly what i thought about all the other winners, or should i say whiners ;) Alot of the time all they do is argue or flirt anyway, where's the reality in that? And then to be offered huge amounts of money to tell the BB story... I thought it was on air all the time almost anyway... And we could all see it. no point telling us over and over again :(

It makes baby Jesus cry... (IMO)

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

If you're talking about Kate Lawler you're probably too young to realise how brilliantly fit she was/is... no offence meant of course.

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

I agree she was brilliantly fit, and no not too young to understand ;)

She still got on my nerves at times though... I can't believe i actually watched part of that series...

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Well I must have been about your age... probably a year older or so... that was the last time I saw BB, which was ages ago.

The last one was dire. All chavs.

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

I feel sorry for those who hate football and Big Brother. I suggest they dispose of their tele for the summer :D

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Why, who could possibly hate football? (Apart from girls)

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Quite a lot of guys do aswell. I like it when England are playing but I'm just not interested when it's other countries.

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

To be honest, I care way more about Forest than England. If both are playing at the same time it will be Forest all the time.

If the play off final clashed with the World Cup final, and Forest reached the former, and England the latter, I'd watch Forest.

But I do support England - and work permitting, will watch all the WC games- with an England shirt on and no doubt a flag too.

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

oiiiiiiii :knock:

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Point proved :LOL:

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Nope, they get used as Monitors for just about every other system in the home :)

That, or someone else uses it...

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

19.12 posts per day.

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Erm... Is that my stat?

I think it is you know...
Also, why did you post it here?

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

It is. I'm just suitably impressed that it's so high really. :)

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

What can i say i have no life... hmmm, my excuse is the TV is so crap these days ;)
Just looked and my stat is a little higher now :O

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

And mine. I got home at about 6 and have been on the net practically all night since then.

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Likewise, only came offline for my tea and of course the almost daily session of crying my eyes out to the point where they are raw... But shhh don't tell anyone else about it ;)

Anywho, back on topic!

BB...

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

I can beat that. I ate my tea at my desk meaning all I had to do was answer the door when it came.

How can we talk about BB when we hate it? This should just be a random musing thread... our musings will no doubt be more interesting than any series of BB.

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Bah, there's always one more devoted than you... And you just proved it.
Now what do i have to do? Not take a leak to get the title of "Least life member" ?

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

:LOL:

You win that anyway. You support Sheff Wed and I support Forest. Case closed.

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Cheap shot... Almost as cheap as Big Brother...

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

People are forgetting there is life outside of television.
Big Brother is a way of looking in on other people. Why not walk down the street and actually interact with people and see things yourself than watching other people.
Have we really got to the point where we need to look in on other people and follow their every move, fights, mad outbursts, and chaos ?
The Big Brother whole idea has had it's day now and anyone with a bit of sense will turn this piece of trash off.
Life is short enough as it is.......why we would want to waste any more time watching people argue is beyond me. Soooner they scrap it the better.

Re: [As suggested] The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Interesting, the part in your signature, i just got my sister to try it, she said she briefly saw 5... I tried it, and voila, exactly the same?

What would they replace it with though? That's the frightening thing to think about... surely it could not be anything good, as it would have taken the spot by now...

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

That's it!Football and BB7.I'm leaving the country...:sulk:


Actually I think I'll just switch of the telly when I can and do summat else...like enjoy the empty beaches.:)

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

well I had to get off the internet at some point. Decided to write some more music :P

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Ah, what do you play? If its guitar tablature maybe you could send some my way? I'll have a look (only learning, but would be nice to have a look-see)

---------- Post added at 23:38 ---------- Previous post was at 23:38 ----------

Actually, who renamed my thread :(

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Play most things - Piano (Grade 8 /blushes) is the main one.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

*coughs, splutters* GRADE 8 :O

Wow, i'd love to here some of your work then :)

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

No chance.

(Don't you think our random drivel is more fun than reality TV?)

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Talking of BB, why can't they actually use normal people? Why does everyone have to try to be quirky, or freaky, or have an odd name? Think Science, Bubble etc... And what is it with trying to be oh so wacky "honest, I'm like this all the time", "I hate the thought of people staring at me, that's why I'm on TV" attitude? And then when they come out, having actually done nothing in the real world, they are treated like, and act like celebrities! What happened to the days when you had to actually have a talent or to do something, before you were considered a celeb?

OK, rant over.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

No chance? whyever not :(

And yeh, random drivel is more fun than BB ever was..

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

BB is random drivel...so you should fit right in...:PP::D:jk:

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

MMMmmm BB back - Sellotape on standby :)

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

:confused:

So, why sellotape? Why not go al lout and use Gaffa tape and get everyone in your house who even attempts to watch it ?

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

I can stop my missus watching it with sellotape - I did last year ;) :D

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Ok tell us how?I need some help with the footy this year.:)

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Well Buxom Woman only watches the TV in the sitting room and only with the sky box.... So

1)Take out sky card
2)Stick sellotape over the chip on said card
3)Put card back in and sit back :)

Ok so it won't stop ALL BB watching - but it stops her watching it 24 hours a day on E4 :D

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Evil but genius.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

I like the idea... I take it this also works on Telewest Viewer cards too... *evil cackle*

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Why, do you have a BB-liking sister?

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Spot on... How did you guess?

Actually, i may leave it, keeps her off the internet, an means i actually get my 3.5Mb to myself for once. That can only help when i keep streaming random things from google video and youtube :)

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Nah, just buy up a whole load of Yorkies and put them in front of the TV and by the PC.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

That would only ditract me... She hates Yorkies, i love them :) And i also love the other Yorkie in my life, shame shes not around though... (Thats another thread...)

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

It would keep her away from the tv/pc whilst giving you an excuse to sit in front of either, slowly pigging out... :) win/win situation.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Aha, pure genius :)

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

I hate this show ! really hate it oh i do hope e4 dose not have it on 24/7

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

I can't believe some people actually sit watching this, then change channel over to E4, then go and check out the online footage, and then sign up to BB text alerts.
It's crazy and the sooner it's over the better.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Eh? I thought you loved it?I swear you were the one who wanted a BB forum originally?

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Channel 4 packed up on one of our STB's yesterday - just in time for BB - it must have known what was coming :erm: and it's probably the first time I have been glad of an ntl fault. :D

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Just think - you'll be missing out on Imogen :D

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Big Brother is ****. Without even watching it I know it will be boring, lacking in ideas, full of useless twists, about as fresh as a week old ****, full of unlovable, attention seeking morons, and a cheap bull**** way to clog up the airwaves for the summer so nobody has to think of anything innovative or entertaining for another few months or until the next US import arrives. C'mon Channel 4, put this wretched show out of its misery and get back to the days when you used to be one of the only channels that actually bothered to think. Please!

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Just seen the images of the contestants (or at least some of them) here.

I can't believe what they managed to drag up this time. The number of them that appear to be doing it for the fame (all 5 seconds of it) is scary. Surely they know by now that once its over, they'll be back at their jobs (or not in the case of some).

I bet it'll just be the usual shouting matches morning, noon and night. The celebrity one is a bit of a laugh because they have nothing to prove and can just be normal ish (except Mr Galloway meow!)

Frankly I'd rather vigorously rub myself all over with a cheese grater than sit through BB. If I want to see people having shouting matches, being arrogant, believeing the world revolves around them, stating they're Gods gift to men/women or whining that nobody listens to them; I'll go down the town centre on a Friday night. At least I'll be able to get a few drinks and they're is always the possibilaity that the police will come along and explain that a) they're not big, b) they're not clever and c) they're nicked.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Seems like your front of being open minded is becoming more and more transparent as we go along.

Thanks for calling a good mate of mine a 'useless twit', although seeing as I know her and you don't, I can assure you she's not.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

I didn't say useless twits, I said useless TWISTS, as in boring twists and turns. Please read carefully.

---------- Post added at 08:53 ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 ----------

And WTF does that mean? I'm simply responding to the thread title. Is that personal?

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

I've just come back from the gym and I'm worn out physically and mentally - this affects my ability to read! Apologies and flowers on their way.

Apologies and flowers cancelled - you're calling my mate an "attention seeking moron" - what makes you say that, do you know her?

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

No, I do not know her, and I am not calling your mate a moron, but rather am making a general assumption about BB contestants, which you are free to disagree with. However, anybody who enters the big brother house must, by definition, be attention seeking.
I do however, wish your mate the best of luck.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Russ, this IS the 'we hate BB' thread. Go and big your mate up in the other BB thread. Sorry, but all those guys are attention seeking dick heads, even your mate. Why else would she be on there? And I very much doubt that you've never had an opinion on someone you didn't know.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

OK, it's just saying the house is "full" of attention seeking morons implies that you think they're all like that.

In Imogen's case, the word is 'ambitious'.

Appreciated - people are free to dislike her or any of them of course, but all I ask is you give it at least a week or so before judging them.

---------- Post added at 09:13 ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 ----------

She's ambitious, plain and simple. And if someone was verbally attacking a friend of yours without knowing them, wouldn't you take issue?

I know some people take it as a right to slag off people they don't know but when they do it publically, it goes to show how shallow they can be.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Not if my friend had put themselves on a reality show, no. Fair game IMO,

So, you've never thought of some famous person, or any other BB contestant, 'what an idiot'?

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Well I guess that means you and I have a different view on loyalty then

I have, while bearing in mind I don't know them and could be wrong.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Well said IMO , BB is a load of useless bull**** and a waste of ****ing time.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

You really rate yourself, don't you? I know what loyalty is Russ, why do you have to be such a snide? Sorry, but if someone puts themselves in a situation like BB, then they are fair game.



Then you're as shallow as I apparently am.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Watch those little digs OB.

Do you admit you could be wrong?

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Russ, you're in the wrong thread.

Stop taking things personally, people are entitled to their views of BB and the fools/idiots/whatever that both watch it, and even worse, take part in it.

If you're going to start getting uptight about everyone who doesn't care for your mate then you're going to have a very unhappy few weeks - and I suggest you cancel your newspapers now ;)

Now, perhaps we should all pop over to the BB7 thread and say what we think of them (all). :D

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Nah, I know people are entitled to their views, all I'm saying is people ought to wait a few days to get to know them a bit first instead of deciding what sort of person they are just because they went on BB. And when people have little digs at me, I'm entitled to stand up to them :)

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Watch yours then.




What, that they're all dick heads? No. They're on BB, what else could they be?

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

I didn't have a dig at you, all I said was it seems like you and I have different views on loyalty.

Not sure why you said I'm as shallow as you then - at least I admitted that I could be wrong.

But go ahead - have the final word :)

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Oh, thanks, I shall - morons.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Has anybody else noticed that Wayne's only started swearing since his birthday ;) :D

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

He's old enough now i guess...

Still hate BB, thank goodness the main TV has messed up recently... means no 24/7 coverage for us... phew!

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

I can't believe some people flick over to E4 and the live feeds on the net and mobile though. Slightly obsessive.

I saw the last 15 minutes of it last night and have to say all of them were so full of themselves and in a complete dippy world of their own that no wonder they got in to the BB house. You don't need to be very intelligent.

And as for Davina Mcall, she should be fed to the chickens. Her useless drivel treating us viewers like children and giving absolute stupid facts about the housemates (eg, he likes going to the toilet atleast 5 times a day)
is enough to put me off for life.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

:D

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

It's because he's allowed to go to the off licence now.

You were ****ing ****ed when you posted that, weren't you Wayne? :p:

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

:rofl:

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Just wait until the next time his computer's broken - 'this ****ing ****ers ****ing ****ed!'

:D

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

:D, has this turned into "Why has Wayne started swearing" thread or something? :D

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Hey, it's more entertaining than Big Brother :D

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

When i saw that Pete guy i though what a ****, i sat there thinking yeah, nice show mate i wonder how long you'll keep up the show, thinking he was just another of those "trying to be different" type of monkeys who just get it allll wrong.

It was only this morning that i discovered why and now im feeling guilty.

You just cant win.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

So you're enjoying it then ;)

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

BB is like one of the most successful tv formats of all time, from a business pov no?

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

I think that may say more for the viewers than the channel though ;)

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Yes, its disturbing I know ;)

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Ah well, in that case, you just need to turn the volume down ;) :p:

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Isn't this basically spying on people? granted they know about it.. but? Seriously.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

They want to be spied on and think it will be great but in fact they are just being made fun of and made to look ridiculous.
They can't see that it's not going to help them in many ways apart from maybe just getting some money from it at the end.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Ahh Big Brother. Missed it so far, plan on continuing to miss it and have already made sure that most of the people I know will not attempt to engage me in conversation about it.

Pikey TV, absolutely no value to it, go down the local pub near closing time on a Friday or Saturday night for a far more exciting view into the human psyche than a bunch of chavs thrown together by people betting that a few won't get on and others won't be able to help themselves but have a **** on TV.

I imagine the biggest concern for some of the contestants will be how they are going to explain to the Job Centre why they couldn't sign on.

Absolutely don't at all understand the interest in it. It's a group of people thrown together in a house and put through weird situations. Big deal.

I loathe most of these alledged 'reality TV' shows. They're about as real as Jordan's boobs and even less entertaining.

Yes Druchii it is spying, if they didn't want to be spied on they wouldn't apply. No doubt at some point one of them will complain about the lack of privacy though. Then you have Davina who after her abysmal failure to host a chat show is sticking with a show that matches her talents well.

No doubt this year follows the formula well, bound to be at least one complete idiot, some latent homosexual, some chavs wanting to go at it like rabbits, someone with some intelligence purely there for the cash looking down at the people in with him and wondering how he's going to stop himself from murdering them, etc.

Fingers crossed viewing figures will drop and this horrid insult to entertainment will be cancelled. The show reminds me why I don't watch much TV.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

I wish we could DDoS a TV channel :cry:

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

LOL Yeah you are right, quite a few of them will have the Job Centrte on their case.
Watching people have sex, fight, argue, and generally talk complete rubbish is just not something that interests me in the slightest.
It is cheap TV that doesnt deserve the publicity and media hype it get's.

I was browsing the newspapers today and on one of the front pages the Big Brother feature was bigger than the article about a young boy being stabbed in a school. How can Big Brother news be more important than this.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

About the only news I would consider important about Big Brother is that it's disappearing off the air for good and not inflicting any more pikey **** on us to replenish the ranks of Z list celebs.

'Hi I'm the knob chav from Big Brother' big deal, the end of the dole queue is that way mate.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

I find it saddening that the young boy who was stabbed was basically pushed aside by the papers... It's ridiculous.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Shouldn't think so, DS ar reporting record numbers. :(

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Ambitious? Is that what you call advertising that you will sleep with someon in th ebb house if the right person is there? I call that being a slapper. Oh and the comment about her family not knowing she owns a vibrator???? COme on, its nothing short of attention seeking.

Theres not one person in the house that deserves ANY respect from "normal" people.


Day 20 in the big brother house and everyone is asleep......riveting.
Pete got up and went to the toilet...I can sleep safely now
some bird with fake tits and a face like a bulldog licking **** of a nettle enters the house.....wow I could always sit and gaze a picture of bride of wildenstein.
There a gay Scottish muslim in there........I call him Token.

Where the **** is the entertainment, If I watched my neighbours like that I would be arrested.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Makes sense I guess, the chav population in the country has never been higher after all.

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

You sure you've got the right person there??

Re: The We hate Big Brother Thread.
 

Can we please try and keep this to hatred of Big Brother, its' presenter, its' format, and all those foul wastes of oxygen that have graced its' halls :D

I'd hope that the people posting in this thread would keep their negative opinions of BB away from the discussion thread on the programme, and that we do deserve the same treatment back from those who for whatever reason are pro the programme, whether it's just plain obsession or because they know someone on the show :)
