It's going to be very hard to ignore, but i'm going to
try...

I try to stay away from people like that in real life so why
watch them in my spare time?

dont watch it. You're basically watching a bunch of people
do nothing. Its the lowest form of tv there is. Imagine what
creative things you could do in 3 hours instead of watching
people sit on a sofa and think about being where you are,
not doing what youre doing

Ignore crap like that, don't give in to the hype. I'm glad
over here it's been a while since it was on, everyone was
psyched about it, but it was worthless. Just some idiots on
TV doing absolutely nothing.
Anytime a day you should have better things to do than
watching crap like that.

i can't wait. I can't get enough of that program. All these
starstruck brain dead fuckers jumping about saying "wicked"
and "no way!". It's like watching the monkeys at the zoo.

Well said.

I think their idea of having a "variety of people on the
show" is preposterous- only a very narrow group of people
are the "type" to agree to go on reality TV shows. You
would, for example, be highly unlikely to get a quiet,
bookish, private person or someone with a drug addiction on
the show.

Yeah, consider it "the sims" without the modicum of
interactivity ;)

The tasks they have to perform does little to conceal the
fact that the majority of the show consists of watching
people in a house. You can do that at home with your own
family, or just share a house with some friends for a few
months. You'll have your own arguments etc. :)

i don't know anyone as thick as the knobs that take part in

funny.

The show is a very good example of media manipulation. In
the last series Jade was being depicted as some kind of hate
figure and the great unwashed despised her. Fearing she
would get lynched when she was evicted, the producers edited
the show to make it look like Adele was the real evil bitch.
The result - Jade is the nation's fat thick darling and will
be appearing in a nightclub near you soon.

big brother indeed.

It depends who is in it really. I dont watch much TV but i
generally watch a lot of Big Brother. The NastyNick stuff
from BB1 was bloody good imho

big brother is so sick!
it was interesting to watch but after i tuned in some of the
first eps here in germany i really got sick!
im not that perverted that i need to watch people getting a
nervous breakdown cause they are humans in ihumane
situations.
being kept like a animal fighting for appreciation.

the problem is not being watched but that it is a
competition.
i could be watched my whole life by millions, but not in a
situation that uncomfortable like being held prisoner with
so many people.

The first un was interesting, simply because it was the
first series and because of "Nasty Nick" manipulating the
other contestants. I watched it to see how far he'd get with
it, when he was thrown out a lot of the interest I had
went.

Basically it's not going to be enjoyable unless they stick a
total psychopath in there.

"Basically it's not going to be enjoyable unless they stick

total psychopath in there."

Or people whose fundamental beliefs mean they'd hate each. I
want them to put in:
a member of the catholic clergy,
a pornstar,
a communist,
a militant muslim,
a paranoid schizophrenic (without their medication),
a martial artist,
your typical duke nukem style male chauvanist,
a CEO of a multinational company
a pseudo-intellectual poser,
a militant feminist
and an elderly man in a wheelchair.

That would be a "good range of people" and make for
spectacular television.

Big Brother is one of those shows that brings out the
whiners and TV snobs.

I'll be watching it tonight, sure I could be doing something
far more productive with my time like raising money to feed
starving African orphans or something, but fuck it, I've
been working hard all week and what some mindless
entertainment.

It's easy to dismiss the show as 'nothing', but it's
incorrect to do so. I find it interesting to see how
ordinary cope with being in an extraordinary environment and
to watch the whole group interaction thing. The fascination
of a snake pit...

i find the interactions fascinating. also the type of people
they choose, the lack of awareness of the exploitation, the
fact its impossible to tell whether they're being genuine or
not. compelling viewing albeit somewhat slightly
disturbingly.
