Title: Big Brother
Post by: wjp666 on August 16, 2011, 02:01:41 am

so, the big daddy of boring television is returning on thursday. will you be watching? hasn't this show had it's day already? did channel 5 really have to revive it?

i for one will only be watching if the charlie sheen rumours are true. otherwise i shall avoid like the plague.

I think when Channel 5 want to buy a show it's probably a sign that its best days are behind it.

I never got into Big Brother and eventually reached the point where I loathed it, but in the beginning I found the concept vaguely interesting. I can actually believe some of the original contestants were interested in the social experiment aspect, but over the years it lost any credibility on that score - you don't need to keep redoing the same experiment for a start - and it became all about talentless wannabes. If they do a celeb version I might take a look to see who's barmy and who looks like crap with no make-up on, but 'real' people? Nah.

I never watched. Do I really want to know that James is changing his socks and Pamela is snoring?

The social experiment reality show I most enjoyed was the one set on Tarrensay(?) - that island.

Perhaps you get a prize if you manage to guess who they all are.

For me though, I think the celebrity version is just scripted since they really have to maintain their good reputation in their fans.

but how many reputations have been ruined in the house? the prime case here being jade goody's second stint.
