Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

Are you trying to spoil my day by talking about that rubbish? :D

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

no mate, if i really wanted to spoil your day i'd just text you

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

Channel 5 still going? Not had that channel on in years. lol

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

And it wont be in future if they insist on broadcasting such mindless cobblers ! I can walk down the street or through the town if I want to see self centred, stupid people, loud, nauseous, self aggrandizing, attention whores, vying to be "famous" or failing that the House of Commons channel.

I can't for the life of mean understand how people are drawn to watching stuff like this ! Out of all the wannabe's & make me famous's, how many are ? What have these shallow individuals achieved ? Have they helped humanity ? Produced something of benefit to the world at large ? Or will they be like the Little Britain character "Liz" who's claim to fame & only apparent thing of note she's done with her life was to be a "Bridesmaid at Mollie Sugdens Wedding", repeated interminably to all who'll listen or won't for that matter, yeah, real quality entertainment. :(

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

To watch crap like that you must have the IQ of a 5 watt light bulb, why don't try watching paint dry.
Retlaw

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

Well it ran for about 10 years and had some celebrity runs as well, I didn't manage to watch an episode during that time so I would imagine I won't be giving this new attempt to insult our intelligence much houseroom either

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

Yep, I'm all the way with Jaysay, never watched it, never wanted to watch it, grateful I had no woman insisting I should watch it, more than willing to avoid it again this time around as well.
:)

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

Thanks fer the warning.:rolleyes:

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

Oh Hell looks like i will be going upstairs to play on the playstation again .

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

There's always the calm room mick, oh hell not doubt heth will be in there wanting to watch it, playstation does look favorite mick:D

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

That's one way of putting it.:enough::D:D

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

I watched some of the very first series, back in the days when it was considered a social experiment. At the time it was a new concept for television and vaguely interesting although I must admit I never got hooked like everyone else seemed to. The problem was that the producers, rather than stick with a decent formula, felt the need to drop in more and more social misfits as the years went by until all they ended up with was a freak show with nowhere left to go.

I am glad that it was cancelled because quite honestly there is enough worthless tabloid television without adding to it. There is virtually nothing on that truly grips my attention any more and programmes which glorify people who are famous simply for being famous won't change that for me.

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

That's funny Ken, I always thought they were all social misfits, you have to be out your head to even think of entering for that freak show in the first place

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

From what I can gather, in the end they were simply all publicity junkies after a chat show deal or a fitness DVD or simply a photo on the cover of Heat magazine. In the beginning it was a low-budget show and an interesting experiment based on a very famous book. I think at least three have 'broken out' over the years because it simply wasn't for them in the end and I respect that more than those who went in there purely for the narcissistic venture of getting their face on the box.

I'm afraid I'd far rather watch something like QI or Have I Got News For You than anything that resembles reality TV.

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

I'll endorse that 100% Ken:thumbsup:

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

Being a thicky I loved Big Brother, and rarely missed an episode in ten years.

I have a cruel streak, and enjoy watching other people becoming unhinged.

I find it to be like some internet forums, but with pictures.

:rolleyes:

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

Could I sugest taking up jigsaw puzzles G:D

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

My other half as a friend who tapes BB during the night, when presumably they're all asleep:eek::eek::eek:

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

People fascinate me.

Observing them is interesting.

Makes no difference if you do it sat in a cafe, on a beach, or whilst they are virtual rats in a box, fighting for attention, whilst being filmed.

Much more to be learned watching others interact, rather than doing jigsaws.

;)

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

people fascinate me, but i draw the line at self gratifying knob heads, so i'll Pass.:D

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

It's likely to attract an even more elitist viewer, now it's moving to Channel 5.

It was that channel that famously had Rebecca Loos tossin' off a pig, on their series The Farm.

It'll make a change from caring for hens in the Big Brother garden.

Let the freak show begin.

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

As if there isn't enough crap on TV. Another reason for not bothering to switch on.

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

And to think I had you down as an intelligent sort of cove!

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

Na Stumped he's just an inlet:rolleyes:

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

As I posted, I'm thick, as well as cruel, and enjoy watching others suffer.

Though I'm a more intelligent cove than Lulworth.

;)

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

I think I'd only get bored, and give up on it, if the house was filled with people from this thread who don't like it.

More pitiful than cruel then.

:D

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

Bought some 'Smugglers Tipple' on my last visit to Lulworth Cove. Not for the faint hearted!

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

I have to say that I have never been a fan of this programme.
I like people watching....it is an interesting and illuminating pastime.......but BB isn't really people watching is it?
When you sit at a pavement cafe watching people(or in a pub for that matter) the people aren't aware that you are watching them....with BB, the people know they are being watched and this somehow skews the values of what they do........all the people who go into this show are wannabes. They want to be 'famous' without having to put the hard graft into it....and without having anything in the way of talent. It is also rather cruel the way the producers manipulate the housemates.
No......not my cup of tea at all.

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

That is not true G and you know it.

You would have to go a fair way to find a more intelligent and articulate person.

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

After the anonymity of series one, when they didn't know if anyone was bothering to tune in, watching the desperate fight for 'fame' is part of the fun of viewing.

It's like Lord of the Flies, but with adult degenerates fighting for survival.

A cruel sport I enjoy spectating.

:D

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

A perfect example of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle at work in that you cannot observe something without changing it.

The new series will be no better than the last, it has come too far.

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

Hello.:tongueout:D:D

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

You mean...........you don't believe it?????????
Don't be making 'long bacon' at at me Benipete.......you know what I'm saying is true!:D

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

Sorry Margaret got to pull ya up there its not housemates ins inmates:D on it should be because some of um are criminal:rolleyes:

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

The whole concept is berluddy Criminal ! ;)

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

Should re title it Wannabes house Dave:rolleyes:

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

if it wasnt for big brother we would never have got to experience the whole jade goodie experience from acting like a dirty slapper with her oral skills ,overhyped so called racism,her stupid tv shows,her awfull smelling perfume and her death splattered accross every tabloid paper and rag magazine month after month.

someone at channel 4 will burn in hell for that alone :D

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

And deservedly so:D

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

I watch it with the same morbid curiosity that forces me to watch the early stages of X-factor; I suppose that makes me hypocritical if I call it awful TV. But it is :)

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

You'd be far better walking about with nails in your shoes at least when you take them of the pain stops:D

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

^ It's painful and hilarious in pretty equal measure though - a kind of 'so bad that it's good' situation.

I also find amusement in the way that the newspapers just drop them after they've served their time - used, abused and then just plain bemused.

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

A fool is only newsworthy when they're performing:rolleyes:

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

If you want to talk about local politics you should start another thread.

Otherwise you'll be accused of thread wandering.

:D

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

Politics, don't want anything to do with that malarkey:D

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
 

Nope i wont be watching this poo either :D

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens

Re: Big Brother set to return to our screens
