[Merged]-Big Brother 7

[Russ]

If the swearing on this clips is too strong they can edit it out. When it's live they dont have that ability.

[Jules]

But they f and blind it on the clips and it doesn't seem to be a problem

[Russ]

Anyone see Makosi on Lorraine Kelly this morning crying about how BB ruined her life??

Two words for you: crocodile tears.

[SlackDad]

Can someone please explain to me what the attraction of Big Brother is so I can try and understand. Other than the first series, which was interesting on the grounds that the contestants did not know what to expect or even whether many people were that interested in it, and so worked as a quasi-social experiment, I can see no enjoyment in watching a group of attention seeking individuals attempt to out do each other for the largest red top pay check or pointless presenter post.

I think you want the other thread mate

It's legitimised voyeurism. It's a freak show for the 21st century. It allows insecure people to watch a houseful of lunatics disgracing themselves, and to think, 'no matter how bad things are for me, at least I'm not as ****ed up as that lot.'

I think it's about time C4 dropped the fig leaf that is the weekly 'psych' show and just admitted that the programme is about getting a roomful of people to be drunk, abusive and sexually deviant towards each other. Let's not forget, last series one of the psych consultants walked off the show after accusing the producers of setting out to create a confrontational situation that could become dangerous (the secret room, IIRC, which did indeed lead to trouble when a couple of housemates were allowed back in).

That just about sums the show up. Thanks

So all Big Brother viewers are insecure?

Did I say that? Read it again carefully.

I don't see the problem with Big Brother. I find myself having to constantly defend my interest in the show from attacks. I don't, and I'm pretty sure that most of the viewers don't, watch it to feel better superior to the housemates. I watch it because it's very interesting to see how people react to being placed in a house with each other - the drama, the tension, the friendships which form, the romances. Why is this different from watching, say, Coronation Street or Eastenders? Why is that viewers of these shows don't get a rough time!? Whatever floats your boat, right?

Well chances are you will have to buy a lot of Kit Kats to even stand a chance of finding one of the tickets.

As far as the CH4 big brother site they should be reaching stores tonight and will probably be on sale everywhere by tomorrow. Big stores will also have POS material advertising the special ticket bars.

[Halcyon]

to the forums.

Good luck in finding one. You will need to be buying quite a lot of chocolate.
As far as I know there is only one ticket to be won so someones is going to have a pretty rare find.

There are 100 tickets to be found before the 2nd of June. Everyone that finds one will be on a special BB show where one of those lucky people get picked to go into the house.

So how many kit kats do we think Sainsburys sell on average per day?? Anyone that thinks they can get into BB this way needs to smell the coffee in my opinion. The odds must be horrendous.
