I haven't watched every series but BB7 must surely be the most boring ever! It all revolves around tea and toast since that hideous Suzy has gone in. :laugh:
-
Yes, but they're all crappy, aren't they? :roll:
-
BB5 was less crappy. :laugh:
-
there is a big brother this year?
-
I can't believe anybody with any kind of intelligence at all would stoop to watching Big Brother.
BRING BACK MARY WHITEHOUSE.
:shock:
-
Some people watch Coronation Square and Crossroads Street, or whatever theyre called, too Lona :shock:
My new TV arrived today, at last, and there definately wont be any soaps, reality tv or soaps being watched on it :P

:mmm: If it's a choice between BB and footie then BB will win in our house. :laugh:

I'm surprised at you Clive. You would be better off watching paint dry. :D
-
That would definitely be more interesting Lona. :laugh:

Australia's BB is starting to get interesting.

Oh nothing that exciting ever happens in the UK version. You don't even get to see naughty bits. We are British after all. :laugh:
-

old man alert? :shock: :laugh:
-

I usually don't watch the "naughty bits", but some of last years was very funny.
The thing that I don't understand is why would you discuss your sexual history with total strangers. :? :shock:
-
Ah! I think the Australian version actually has all the naughty bits edited into one programme. :laugh:
-
I've been trying to remember the name of the programme, but I can't think of it. But they stopped it, don't really understand why. I use my remote if it offends. Which this year has been most of the time.
-
Ours is very tame MB. We mustn't get too excited you know!! :laugh:
-
Ours has a definite target group in mind. Teenagers.
And it's all about making money, this year they have included an extra phone number to save a housemate that is up for eviction. That will probably double the amount of calls and the amount of money.
And supplying a pool, spa and a sauna just to encourage clothing to come off.
A big open shower area and of course only give them enough double beds that everyone has to share.
So a programme with all the naughty bits in it, going to air at 9.40pm, just perfect for teenagers. :shock:
-
Everyone watches it in the hope of a bit of rumpy pumpy here too, but if anything happened it would be edited out. :laugh:

UK Big Brother "fixed", politician claims.

I think they are all fixed, Misty, including pop idol and all the rest of the garbage.
Only an idiot would believe that they would make a star out of some nobody just because they got the most votes.
The one I find that shows a complete fix is when Girls Aloud were invented.
Cheryl Tweedy had the worst singing voice and I would swear she was chosen for her looks rather than her talent. Let's face it, there was no way they were going to allow a great singer with an ugly face to join Girls Aloud. :D
-
Yes, you're probably right Lona.
I don't watch Idol or any others, they hold no interest for me.
I'm interested in the psychology of the housemates and the effects of living in an controlled enviroment.
The most interesting one was a few years back, when they split the house in two. And had older and younger housemates. They swapped a couple of the housemates over a few weeks in and then joined the house.
They also had a psychologist to comment of some of the behaviour.
Closer to the end when there was only about 6 or so left, the task was Masters and Servants for the first week, then swapped.
It appears to be all about manipulating the housemates to bring out certain aspects of their personalities.
Quite interesting.
I even find Survivor interesting at times, for the same reason.
As for Girls Aloud, haven't heard of it, must be a UK thing

I dont mean to offend anyone but I think that "only an idiot" or someone with way too much time to watse would watch any of those reality shows :roll:
Unfortunately they are very cheap to make for the TV companies so they are only going to multiply ad nauseum I am afraid.
If people would just stop watching them then the advertisers would make the TV companies make some decent programmes :(
-
I have to confess that I watch Big Brother every other year when the World Cup is on. I'm convinced that every part of it is fixed. The winner was decided before it even started and it will be the Tourettes guy. Every eviction is fixed too.

Television Networks target particular audiences, for these reality shows and women of our age Sandra, aren't in their sights. They supply the soaps for us, (wrong again). All you need to do is look at what is advertised during particular programmes to see who the target audience is.
Television Networks after all are businesses, and now, more so than when I worked in the industry, is run by the numbers. Ratings and what is the most cost effective. I watch more programmes on the ABC than all the others combined, that means actually sitting down and paying full attention.
My television is usually on from the time I get up to the time I go to bed, it's a bad habit I got into a long time ago. I worked in the television industry for a long time and there is very little thats on now that I actually pay attention too. But late at night when I'm searching the net for interesting things, Big Brother Up Late is on, which is live from the house, so no editing.
So lets face it, once you pass a certain age the Networks aren't really that interested in satisfying our television watching needs.
That should answer your question Lona, as to why I spend so much time on the net. :laugh:

Clive and his sheep are notorious :whistle:

So can I take it that Big Brother is still on? How much longer until it finishes?
-
I think it's another 5 weeks! This series has gone on far too long and is now starting to become tedious.
-
5 weeks!!!
:shock:
Bloody hell... :brickwall:
-
Why don't they just have it all year round, and keep the annoying, dislikable b*****ds locked in there up for good? :twisted:
-
100 years ago all these people would have been locked up in Bedlam where they would be put on display for the public to view. Now we can watch these freaks from the safety and comfort of our own homes. Isn't progress wonderful? :grin:
