that bloke is such a dickslap and would very likely lamp you when pissed on a Friday night in town. He speaks volumes about modern British youth.

Yes, the show may well be considered an insight into the sad state of our society, however, such a presumption would be unfair - the majority of people aren't like this, bb just picks the most controversial spoilt shits to pick on for our entertainment. It's nice to see those that proclaim they enjoy watching people suffer (e.g. Craig), suffer themselves.

What is it with that guy Graig. Is he straight/bi/confused/abstinent? Annoying duplicitous wretch that he is I can't help but love him for his cackhandedness.

Well, it's slightly worrying the levels people go to for literally two-seconds of fame (if they even get that far), a bollocks amount of money and complete national humiliation. Take Jade Goody for example. I weep every time I see her. And even worse people flaunt their more embarassing features in the hope of winning. It's a psycho social experiment. Who would willingly volunteer to be put in a hamster cage and be videoed having tv's first live sex? And now it's getting worse. People are deliberately being put together for their conflicting attitudes: one gay and one homophobic etc. It's highly disturbing and more disturbing is everyone's sudden desire to actually watch the decadence... and talk about it... and base their conversations on it... and... *breaks off unable to continue* Basically, yes, sun is hot, BB is shit.

It's funny because Jade Goody is probably the most successful of all BB contestants ever. I bet she doesn't have to work. Tub of shit.

Heh, sure she works.... never heard of a Jade Goody work-out video? ;) She's exactly the sort of person I want to tell me about weight-loss and style tips....

BB is one of the only things I watch on TV; at least it's
real
Do you mean it's real and spontaneous when people know that they're being watched all the time ?

Exactly Obara: the whole thing is an act anyway. There was a documentary on the interviews for people who got rejected. It was worse than the actual show. People were deliberately being as mad and as anti-social as possible to get on. It was the same with stuff like pop idol I believe.
As for work-out videos being the measure of fame... er, just shoot me before I sink to such levels. Please. (official disclaimer: I hope none of you have work-out video aspirations. Cause sorry.)

well... you're obviously a genuine person. You'd be surprised what people can do for fame. Besides, it doesn't require 24/7 performance... just a good blast of it every so often. Somehow you could trust the editing crews to edit out you acting normally and cut straight to the drama in highlights and the permanant Channel4 re-runs they seem to do.
Oh, who knows? I'm just being cynical.

Big Brother is awful and awfully simple, and an awful lot of people watch it. This would suggest that an awful lot of people don't need much to occupy their tiny minds.
Work, have some dinner, go and drink, shout in the street, watch Big Brother and laugh uproariously at it. Sleep. Repeat.

haha true :)
another pain about big brother is that newspapers seem to regard it as actual news, like 'a bomb has been dropped on france...a peodophile has ravaged a bus load of kids...and in tonights big brother jade will stand on one leg while wearing a big hat'. its so annoying.

-.- quite. I swear that punch up in the last series got front page news in all the tabloids and was encroaching on the broadsheets too. And there were the pics of screaming knife-weilding bb members and everyone just shook their heads. Give them all ASBOs. Like that 11 year old and that other girl who repeatedly tie naked men to lamp posts. argh.

I actually don't like a single one of them. + they constantly argue about 'intelligence' when none of them even have any. There's one in particular I hate. She's like an overweight chavvy northerner with tits like udders.

I never saw "shattered." Forgive my ignorance, but isn't it possible to die if you do activities and haven't slept for a few days? The longest I've been up is 48 hours, I and felt like I was going mad.

i'm really enjoying it this year. it's all about what you can get out of it. but surely this goes without saying if you can't get anything out of it then why are you indeed even talking about it?
