There.
Said it, it's been building inside ever since this show started for a 2nd series.
Why do you watch it? What is the appeal of watching a show about people in a house? Does nobody but me see the irony in this?
People staying in to watch a programme about people staying in?
Hello?
But no, the whole nation tunes in and, this is the scary part, actually cares about what these people do.
I just don't get it. You can get updates sent to your mobile, people talk about it the next day, papers are full of this "Will Helen and Paul get it together?"
WHO CARES? THIS CRAP HAPPENS EVERY DAY ON THIS PLANET
Are people that lonely and unhappy with their own lives that they feel the need to live vicariously through a bloody television show?
And you know when this show is over, that these people will run into 15minute careers in tv and radio.
Happened last time with that "Nasty" Nick bloke. Turned up at every party wearing a red The Sun hat until we all forgot who he was.
I hear from colleagues every day ,"Oooh, Brian will win!" "No, Helen will!"
And I want to scream.
It doesn't matter who "wins", the only people that win are C4. They have deals with Habitat and some other stores to use their brand of bedclothes/curtains etc so that people can "own a bit of big brother".
But why the hell would you want to?
I tried watching some of one episode, and I sat and watched some cockney fool in a hat eat sweetcorn with a toothpick.
For 5 minutes.
And it's the way that The Sun turns these mooks into mini-celebs. I remember seeing Bubble (I mean come on, "Bubble" what kind of name is that for a man??) in that paper every single day, wearing a big red hat with his tongue hanging out like some parched cow-person.
What is the appeal of this show? Do you people not have any mates of your own to hang out with?
Read a book or listen to a record if you're bored, because watching this pap is mindnumbing.
Oh, and the "shock" that some of them felt on coming out and "didn't realise the interest outside in me"?
Balls.
They saw what happened with the 1st series, they knew full well that they would be little media-*****s for 15 minutes.
And that black dude, the dullest Brummie in the world being signed to play at Reading Festival?
HELLO?!?!?! He plays the guitar on a tv show and now he's a musician? How is that right?
I hope he gets the same treatment as Daphne and Celeste got, serves him right.
But the sad thing is, there will be a 3rd series and a 4th and so on and so forth until the UFOs come and pick me up.

Agreed, and I only watched 5 minutes of one so I could have an understanding of it.
My post was asking why people watch it?
Not "I hate it, I've watched it and it sucks"
I said that I watched a little bit and that made my head hurt.
I don't get the appeal of this thing, make friends, live your own life and live you very own Big Brother.

I hate to preach and all, but if you don't like it, don't watch it. Your words, not mine.
Bubble is his nickname. I'm not gonna tell you how he got it becuase it's gross.
Thing is, BB is actually quite good.
Think about it, it's the only thing that you can plonk your g/f down in front of while you and the lads go down the pub for a couple.
That has been said before on here, by some one, and I would credit it to them, but I can't remember who it was. :-(

I heard on the radio that an internet Big Brother with Pigs is starting soon with the same rules, if thats possible.one is evicted each week until only the winning pig remains.
All profit goes to those affected by foot and mouth which I though that was a great idea.

It's over.. it's really over.. Thank God now I don't have to sit through episodes with people who think its the best show ever.. when.. it's simply not.
Its not a real life situation though. Stiking a carmea inside a normal house and in the Big Brother house are two very different things. Big Brother is staged, it isn't real at all. Why? Watching real people would be even duller. Big Brother is comfort TV. You don't have to think, it creates nice and easy conversation and small talk for the following day and couldn't be offensive if it tried.
It's not pointless as millions get entertained - that's why TV exists. If its not your cup of tea, fair enough. However, I think it is good clean fun. I don't always want to be intelectual, I don't alwasy want to hear about releationship and personal strifes in which I have a vested interest and BB fits that perfectly.
Can you really blame the house mates for wanting their 15 minutes? They are a product of a society that worships celebrity and bestows god-like status on anyone willing to sign their life over to Hello and the tabliods. Or they just want cash in large sums, which is fari enough I suppose.
