Big Brother

Or Pink Brother as it should be titled as virtually all of them are homosexual or bisexual!? Hardly representative of Britain. This is one viewer who will be switching off.

I am not homophobic. I thought Brian was great and deserved to win but these lot are just so un-charismatic and unlikeable:

1. Kitten - Lesbian, what a load of crap she spouts, she hasn't got a clue.
2. Ahmed - Homophobic 44 year old non drinker, why on earth did he even consider BB!
3. Michelle - Bisexual, slapper by all accounts and very dull with a horrible voice.
4. Daniel - Gay, very tall and very arrogant and one of these twisted puppet master types.
5. Nadia - Gay, Used to be a man, but had the snip. Looks like a man in drag so I don't know how nobody has twigged yet.
6. Jason - Straight (gay in the closet IMO), likes to strut around naked, too many muslces not enough brains.
7. Vanessa - Straight, blond bimbo and not very likeable.
8. Shell - Straight, goody two shoes, so much so it is sickening.
9. Stuart - Straight (although apparently having make-up so possibly confused), arrogant "I have 4 A Levels, Im soo brainy" whoopee doo, with your 4 A levels ever heard of the word modesty!
10. Marco - Gay(super-gay), very over the top and I believe deliberatly so in order to appeal to the public but failing.
11. Emma - Bisexual, thick as 2 short planks and with a very annoying voice.
12. Victor - Straight, very arrogant and macho but if he belives half of what he says he is a complete idiot! Alpha Male, the women all fancy him etc.

BB have failed this year and I can see the audiences melting away. They should have put in at least one likeable person.

I gotta admit that as a study in psychology its rather interesting....but as a TV show its a big pile of dog doo doo....

I reckon its the Dutch getting their revenge for the drug tourists...

I think the production team have purposely attempted to make it a little controversial to help flagging ratings. By controversial I mean to white van man and middle England. Hopefully it will all just end in the public execution of Kitten. She is really torn up inside and is only a lesbian because she thinks it is the right thing to do. You can't possibly be right-on and straight. You also can't be that right-on and expect to have many friends. If I belonged to any of the minorites she tries to fight for, I'd suggest she stopped patronising me. Of course I only say that because I'm white, straight and male - or the enemy as she would call me.

Well, actually everyone has been talking about BB. And whilst they don't like any of the people in the house we all agree it will be really good this year.

Meh, watched another five minutes of it last night.

Felt like what it would be like if you went to the pub by yourself to listen to other peoples conversations.

I take it you didn't like it?!

Did you not think that their creation of 'Big Sister' and the mini-rebellion was funny or not?

I watched 10 minutes of it over cornflakes this morning.

Why have big sister? big brother was a term coined by george orwell in the book 1984 as the nickname of a tyrannical government leader who watches all his citizens all the time to make sure they dont misbehave which is why endemol originally came up with the name for the program, why it is "sexist" is beyond me.

As for the suitcase thing: what was the point?

Some people will find anything sexist. eg History, even though the root is unrelated to to History being His-story (and yes, I have been told that this is why History is called History).

Anyway, surely 'Big Sister' is just as sexist. They should have done 'Big Sibling of Irrelevent Gender.'

Bah, I know. I'm reading to far into it.

Unfortunately I did hear the bit about Big Sister (reading a book but my wife was watching in an attempt to like one of them) and it just emphasises how full of crap kitten is. As mentioned earlier Big Brother is a literary reference and was quite a clever one when the whole thing started off, its not sexist and frankly I think that kitten is the sort of person who could start a fight in an empty room!

I will read my book in another room tonight as I nearly threw it at the TV when that "rebel" was on.

And I too read the newspaper article that said she never went to London till after she left university and was such a rebel that she made her parents re-mortgage their house and send her to private school! Of course it was her father who explained this and as he is a MAN he is therefore an unreliable source.

9. Stuart - Straight (although apparently having make-up so possibly confused), arrogant "I have 4 A Levels, Im soo brainy" whoopee doo, with your 4 A levels ever heard of the word modesty!


Pah. What crap. My friend with 6 A-Levels in which he scored all A's is brainy. Big Brother contestants are not.

another thing i hate about this show is it persuades you to hate ordinary people you've never met, although to be fair most of them do seem like total d--ks, that guy probably counted general studies as one of his A levels

That gives the impression of BB being nice.

A truly evil person will pretend to be nice in order to do make wicked and evil things.... :wink:

I belive in Friendly Fascism. Or better know as a benovolent dictatorship. Big Brother is our savior, and the Alansyist party is the living breathing embodiment of Big Brother.

To actually BE Big Brother would be brilliant. To be one of the pore underlings however...

Anyway, the show is and always has been utter tripe. My dream is to market a camera system that plugs into your TV and points at your couch. Voila! Your own personalized BB experience!

Big brother is the most uninteresting piece of crap on television. I'd rather watch a celebrity swimsuit modeling documentary starring Anne Robinson, Jo Brand and Margaret Thatcher.

What they should do is do a show on the Home and Garden network based on Faranheit 451, where they go around and burn different peoples houses! Keeping with the need for a mass market, having books would not be a requirement.

Or how about a show based on Harry Potter? Have them watch the movies all in one sitting, then pump em' full of LSD and make them THINK they're magical wizards! Hey, it's better than pumping em' full of LDS!
