Big Brother - WHY?

[mariner2]

Made by morons about morons for morons and shoved down everybody else's throat. Even when it's over we have to put up with ugly fat ignorant pigs like Jade for years afterwards.

The worst thing that has ever happened to TV.

I've never watched it,not my cup of tea at all but I'm made to listen to people at work droning on and on about it-can't wait till its all over and they all go back to obscurity again!

Even as a football fan, I'll agree there is too much of it on the telly (surely Wingnut can forgive us the World Cup once every four years though!), but it doesn't take over much of a terrestrial channel's output every single day for 13 weeks as B** B****** does.

It even takes over AB's Lost section...sorry, Film & TV section. Still, from a few threads I've seen recently, it's good to see the backlash is well under way. About time too.

Its not just the world cup tho is it littleoldme lol :o) Cos then we have the Euro cup and then premiership and whatever else football thingys (see I told you I didn't like football, don't even now what it's all called lol) BB takes over one channel for a couple of hours a day (except E4 obviously) on a night time it's an hour usually at 9pm, on a friday a couple of slots and a bit longer. Half the time when I switch over channels esp Saturday afternoon, there is either a game playing or blokes sat around talking about the game, then there's the results that seem to go on forever... Yes granted there is a lot of coverage of BB over the 13 weeks, rest of the year it's more or less forgotten about once the hype has died down.

i love it love it love it!!!!!

i would like to know tho, how do E4 plan to use their muting when a guy with tourettes is in the house?? no sound at all maybe?

What the hell is the big deal here? Its only a programme, dont let it ruin your life Mariner its not worth it honey now is it :-)

[ImALady]

I'm a big fan of the show and always have been since series one, however I resent being called a moron for liking a tv programme. I agree with glammapus, it is only a tv show, there are more important things in the world to moan and worry about than Big Brother.

Wingnut - I don't think it's fair to compare BB with football - you're quite at liberty to hate football as much as you like, but you can't deny it is actually pretty important to quite a fair proportion of the world's population, whereas BB has all the significance of a dog turd.

[mariner2]

Resent being called a moron?

But you don't HAVE to read my post.

[~Wingnut~]

Ahhh but you say it's not fair to compare it to football but... ooo forget it we could go on like this all night ;o)
I'll carry on avoiding fotball, you carry on avoiding BB, Deal?

[~Wingnut~]

Hey! stupid thing submitted before I had finished!

what I was going to end with was: deal?... lol :o)

There just missed the lol and smile off thats all!
