this is the first time i watch Big Brother, and i think its really a great real life program compare to other similar program like Surviver, Temptation, Fear Factor and other. today is just the second day, and i kind of addicted on it.
who's watching Big Brother like me and got addicted on it?
glad you like it. i'm a big fan also
i've heard of it for agest. the person who told me about is one of the europe version. and finally i have the chance to watch it myself. it is just great even though it have more than crual things that gonna happen but i think, it reflects on people's life alot.
We also have it in germany. Even though I watch it sometimes I think the idea is crazy. I don't mind living in a house with strangers. But not sourounded by cameras. Not even for money.
who's watching BB7?
what a wierd silection of housemates
I did enjoy the first ever series of BB when it was on here in the UK. I watched it religiously. Since then though the house mates have become increasingly more bizarre as the series have mounted up, and in my view less interesting as a result. The thing I liked about series one was the fact that all of the people in the house were people that you might well live right next door too without ever really getting to know them. They were just regular people, who led regular lives who had been thrown into a house together for 10 weeks to see how they'd interact with each other. It was easy to understand why they did and said the things that they did because essentially, they were just people like you or I. I can't really tell you why but I found that truly fascinating.
Ever since that first series though the show has introduced ever more bizarre and warped characters in a desperate attempt to keep the ratings up, and in doing so I think have lost the essence of what the show was actually all about. Namely how people like us would cope when chucked together for a sustained period of time with other people, just like us.
I don't remember the details exactly but I think the last time I bothered to watch an episode of big brother the house had 3 gays, one of which was a full time cross dresser, a Portuguese bank clerk who had had a sex change, and being frank here it was extremely tough to determine what sex it was, and an asylum seeker that new labour didn't have any space for at any of their detention centres. In short, what ever that group of people were, the one thing they weren't, in spite of what the British national party would have most Brit's believing, was a representative cross section of society. It was total dribble and I have never bothered to watch it since.
yes i see what you mean in a way.
but, don't you think it will lose more ratings if the people are just normal?
no wonder it's so high rated, in my view it's getting better each year
