The first series of BB was of slight interest to myself, mainly because it was a new thing that hadn't been done before. (or had it? I don't know)
I stopped watching it by the second time round, mainly because it was just basic trash TV that did the same thing as the year before.
Meh. It's over soon, we can reclaim our televisions back, hurrah!

To be honest, I decided to watch it for once and catch a show every so often.
I don't vote or talk to anyone about it and tend to feel loathing for all the contestants.
Much like the blokey who wrote that review, he obviously watched it to tear it to bits.

Good lord...I'd underestimated the power of your bile on this 'un.
Personally, I don't have a problem with that sort of TV. I do have a problem with it being given more value than it should (for example, in the way you describe people having discussions on who's gonna be evicted etc). I find it, in itself, harmless. I agree that the cynical money-making behind it does grind on ones soul, but...well, bread and circuses has ALWAYS been a method of mass control. At least this way doesn't involve Lions dining on a Christian appertiser.
But generally, I take the approach with it as I do when slating Mary Whitehouse types who disapprove of programming schedules; if one doesn't like it, turn over. There are several hundred channels of cack tv; there's bound to be at least one for everyone.
> By mellowed, do you mean neutered?
Heh. Nope; quite the opposite (but now is not the time for bragging about Mrs Light and I. If only cos her Ma was staying this weekend...).

No, it really can't. Monkeys in zoos know no better.
These insects on BB know and revel in this, desperately wallow in their 15mins before it's clawed away from them and they're cast back into whatever purgatory they existed before.
Television is stupid, pure and simple. And this sort of utter bilge drives it further and further below the level of what a person should find acceptable.
It exists to create money for Endemol through advertising revenues and phone vote ££. That's the sole reason for this thing being in it's whatever year of airing now.
And assfaces that watch, regardless of whether they're mates or not, keep it on the air. It serves no purpose, it does not entertain in any other way than watching a retard having sex with a pig - it doesn't know any better.
It should cause embarassment to admit to being a viewer instead of a topic of conversation at work - I've heard adults discussing who was evicted and did you seee so-and-so.

It is the same as soap opera in that it's a sedative.
Something brightly coloured and constructed to make sure Mr & Mrs Homeowner keep buying those products they see and building bigger fences around their nice little gardens.
This programme specifically, and tv in general, is made by cynics for retards to make money.
End of story.

Balls. It can be watched in the same way as monkeys flinging faeces at a zoo; for laughs.

ANYBODY that watches this programme, for whatever reason, is hereby forfeit as a human being of evolved status.
It would be more scientific and/or entertaining to watch chimpanzees flinging their own faeces at the wall and trying to bash out Shakespeare on a word processor.
There is no excuse at all for wanting to watch this purile, base drek.
And the people that actually give money to this show by voting are, if this is possible, even stupider than the viewers.

I love it; it always seems to be a mix of 'tards and people there for the experience. All of whom are utterly narcissistic. Great fun for the condescending among us...
I would LOVE to be on BB. I reckon I'd plumb new depths of machiavellian, self obsessed evil.

They're not chavs. Chavs are kids. These are adults with an agenda to get on TV and wiggle their bums for their bonkers mates back home. Retards.
