Title: Big Brother
Post by: Uncle Joshua on June 05, 2008, 22:37:44
Its that time of year again when C4 gathers up the biggest bunch of freaks the world has ever seen plonks them in a house so that you can sit in yours and watch them, this years show will be no exception and thanks to my wife I know all 749 freaks are now in place....


A few of the female freaks have claimed that they are "part time models", so what, Cindy is a full time model and I still wouldn't take here out to dinner.

So, come on, who is going to watch this pile of sh*te?

Just glad it's on in the summer when there are plenty of other things to do. Afraid I may get hooked though, as I'm likely to be doing some post op. care for my dad in the next few weeks and he only has 4 channels on his TV!

Mick, don't sit on the fence. Let us know how you really feel about BB.

Cheers,
Rob ;)

ps. for what it's worth I'd rather eat my own feet than watch 93 days of that garbage.

at least we all know where they are. If it wasn't for Big Brother they could actually be out amongst us, freely walking the streets and spreading despair about the state of humanity

A waste of TV air time.  The first one was a novelty.  Now its a load of old codswallop.  I would rather have nothing to watch than have to sit through any of it.

If the Gestapo were around today it would be a good threatening interrogation technique.   I would tell them everything so as not to have to watch it ;D ;D ;D

To be perfectly honest - I find it fascinating!!  I watch tiny snippets of it when there is nothing else on - only in the evening though!  I find it fascinating watching these people all freaks and weirdos acting up for the camera - I find the way that their society breaks down and then form little cliques - fascinating!

I have always been a "people watcher" anyway.  But I find it very very interesting - seriously!  I should have been a psychologist I think - what I find interesting is the psychologists for the programme - using the inmates phobias/hangups/weirdo characteristics and then adding a little spanner into the works - to stir up more trouble and strife.

The people who take part are very very shallow people and their need to be in there is also interesting.  Can you imagine how incredibly boring it would be! 

I seriously couldn't stand even a day of it - far too much to do and too little time to do it in.  But for the odd glimpse into it - fascinating!

I didn't see last night's start of it I fell asleep but I will drop in and out of it to watch the freak show.

I have changed my opinion about Big Brother, in the past I have always enjoyed it beacause of the various nutters you get in it, but sorry it is just regurgitated tripe, this time round we have had the racist bit again with'Alexs' and 'Mario' and his bird are of course straight off the streets  ;)

Post by: Hyacinth on June 21, 2008, 13:12:28
Hey Marg! I've just checked my newspaper & there aren't pages of it - not even ONE page of it in fact :o....there again there's an eye-boggling pic of 2 half-naked girls jelly wrestling on page 3, but that was taken at Cambridge, Trinity,  during their Finals high jinks, so that's OK then.

Would have been disgusting if it had happened on the back lawn of the BB house and I prolly would have come here to complain about it ;D

Title: Re: Big Brother
Post by: djbrenton on June 21, 2008, 13:28:12
If uyou'd care to scan the pic of the jelly wrestling and post it in the watershed, I'll examine the background and ascertain whether it was really taken at Trinity if you like.
If there happen to be people in the foreground you can leave that in as well.  ;D

Post by: Tyke on August 01, 2008, 23:55:34
I used to be a big fan in the beginning. it was riviting to watch people interact and see how society and the media reacted to it. Watching Nasty Nick in the first series get caught out is one of the best TV moments i have ever seen. I watched a couple more series after that.

In my opinion it has now become a perverse freak show that preys on desperate, damaged volunteers. All the people who go in it now, know the score. They know that they have to be outrageous and try to get famous for doing anything. They know where the cameras will be and spend all their time acting. I have been seriously worried for the sanity of some guests in recent series.

However, i am aware that some people and some of the media are quite snobbish about BB and dismiss it out of hand. Just because something is popular and not high-brow, does not make it a bad thing.

I did my usual "I am NOT watching it again" for the first two nights, now the live feed is on as long as I'm in the house.

I justify it by using it as an interesting psychological experiment.   :P

And those "freaks" are someone's Mum, Dad,  daughter, son, sister, brother, friend etc.  Some of them I wouldn't particularly fancy having a cup of tea with, but for the most of them it's the only chance they'll ever get to win £100k.  I'd do it if they asked me !

Mo to go !  Lisa to win !

;D

Yippee the two I did not want to win have gone tonight that Katheyra and Mohammed, I'm now very Happy, happy, happy ;D

Is anybody going to the final? (being in the audience)
Title: Re: Big Brother
Post by: MrsKP on September 04, 2008, 06:00:27
nope, draw the line there. :P

Keeping my fingers crossed that they come out in this order:

5) Rex - absolutely can't STAND the man.  Total bully despite him trying to have a change of spots this week.
4) Darnell - that man needs some serous therapy.
3) Sarah - she does herself no favours at all - i'd have told Rex to stuff his fags a long time ago.
2) Rachel - the disney girl hasn't done enough to win imho but don't dislike her.
1) Mikey - Has made the journey well.  Has me in stitches when he's in the diary room. 

can't believe it's nearly over.  it's been soooooooooooo long .......... and now it's the end of the summer too.   :-[

Still there's always Strictly on Saturday which will take us through to Christmas.   :P
Title: Re: Big Brother
Post by: Mr Smith on September 04, 2008, 07:51:29
Sarah or Rachel for me, Mickey will be getting the sympathy vote and I suppose he will win, totally agree Darnell needs help and Rex is just an arrogant sod ;)
Title: Re: Big Brother
Post by: Mr Smith on September 05, 2008, 21:03:17
Turned BB off after watching Sarah being evicted, now let me guess Mickey will win and why, well if you walk on to a programme sponsored by Channel4 and you have a disability you are bound to win,  I'm Disgusted >:(
Title: Re: Big Brother
Post by: Mr Smith on September 06, 2008, 06:31:39
How wrong can I be  ???, at least I did say rachel might win ;)
Title: Re: Big Brother
Post by: MrsKP on September 06, 2008, 07:17:46
Well I got Sarah right ! lol

I was really glad Rex got booted outside the top three although I really don't think it matters much to him anyway.  If that dozy bird of his actually thinks his behaviour is acceptable, then she's welcome to him.

the penny actually seemed to drop with Darnell, i thought he came over quite well during the evening (apart from having to be told a million times to hold his mic up closer).

I was a little disappointed that Mikey only came second but happy enough with Rachel as the winner.  Little bit boring but nice.  Nice wins over controversial - novel concept !   ;D

Well that's it for another year.  The final night always depresses me.  When BB starts, we've got the whole summer ahead of us but when it finishes, it's winter drawers on.

Still, we've got X-factor and strictly starts tonight ........  :o
Title: Re: Big Brother
Post by: Mr Smith on September 06, 2008, 08:38:55
I would like to see BB move from Channel4 and have more of a cross section of people in there because when you look at the people that are in the BB house they seem to me to be rather plastic and not the salt of the earth :)
Title: Re: Big Brother
Post by: MrsKP on September 07, 2008, 08:34:26
apologies .... Strictly STILL hasn't started ...... how many weeks notice do we need from the trailers saying "coming soon" ????

I think there are one or two (Mikey, Rachel)  in there that signed up for the experience rather than the glamour, although I'm sure that Rachel will end doing her fair share of club openings.  I don't know whethere they have a resident shrink slot on one of the spin off progs.  I used to enjoy hearing what the professionals made of the whole shebang.
