this can't be real can it? the new contestants for the next series of big brother in the UK have been paraded in front of the cameras like the freaks they are...

the contestants either seem to be gay, wankers, or slags. oh joy... as if i didn't hate big brother enough :headbang:


take a look for yourself here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/4996280.stm

am i the only one who thinks this is simply pathetic, and what once just simply didn't pass for television or entertainment has moved to a far more moronic 'freak-show' format in an attempt to grab ratings from morons? opinions? what does this say about our culture?


The Big Brother housemates have arrived at Elstree Studios for this year's show, which producers have said will be "more twisted than ever".

Gay Muslim Shahbaz, 37, from Glasgow, described himself as a "wacky Paki poof" who has been unemployed for 21 years and likes knitting.

Contestant Pete, 24, from south London, has Tourette's syndrome and sings in a band. He apparently started wearing women's clothes from the age of 16.

Lea, a 35-year-old from Nottingham, is said to have the largest breast implants in the UK at a cost of £35,000.

Glyn, an 18-year-old lifeguard from north Wales, believes everyone envies him because of his "perfect life".

Nikki, 24-year-old model and dancer, entered Big Brother to "get noticed by rich and famous men". Her dream is to marry a Premiership footballer.

Lisa, a 27-year-old upholsterer from Manchester, has warned that if anyone crosses her, "they will know about it".

Richard is 33-year-old Canadian-born gay waiter who describes himself as a "free spirit". His dream is to become a scriptwriter.

Isn't the program meant to be representative of the population?

I knew there were a lot of freaks in the UK, but I didn't think 50% of the population were "wacky poof(s)"....

No change there then, from what I have picked up about Big Brother over the past few years.

But this gave me a chuckle

Mikey, from Liverpool, says he hates feminists and can't stand to be around ugly people. The 22-year-old software developer is currently single.

George, 19, entered Big Brother "to meet people who don't live and hang out in Sloane Square".
George (the posh huntin', fishin' type) entered the house to be instantly greeted with "wanker" from the Tourettes guy. George looked a little deflated .....

Her eye is the most disturbing feature.

One thing... With all the gay men they're really reducing their chances of having live-action shagging, surely? Unless they're trying to up the ante by having live-action gay sex, but then surely they'd be better off without a mixed group?

Ah well, I've only watched two minutes of Big Brother and that was too much.

To my shame, I watched the live Big Brother launch. (On the TV, I hasten to add.)

I wanted to find out just how bad it was going to get over the next few weeks.

It was even worse than I could have ever imagined. Only a couple of contestants give any impression of having, well, ANYTHING between their ears. Most are terminaly weird (to put it mildly).

And the "free spirit" guy? Mr Gay Canadian? The news report left out possibly his worst quote. He describes himself as a "sexual terrorist"

I wish that someone with a rifle would camp the live launch show, and systimatically eliminate all of the contestants. (Save for about 2 maybe, not all deserve death ...yet.) It would go so far to clean up the human gene pool by preventing them entering it again.

Gay Muslim Shahbaz, 37, from Glasgow, says he has been unemployed for 21 years and likes knitting.
Oh Allah. The far-right will hate him for typifying the "lazy welfare immigrant" and the Muslims will hate him for defacing their faith with his sinful homosexuality!

On the East end of the town I live in we have a 25 million ton pile of black slag. A by-product of copper smelting. we refer to it affectionately as "the Slag Pile." And no one knows for sure what is buried underneath it. Some consider it a tourist attraction.

This is the way of reality shows, the sell of 'normal' people was pretense-no one remembers or tunes in to watch the people next to them, they tune into fat naked gay guy or Puck (sorry for the dated US only references-I'm in the US and while I work on reality shows I don't watch them...)

Sooner or later the pretense will be completely gone and these shows will be advertised by guys in red jackets and top hats asking us to "Step right up..."
