Spooncat Posted May 31, 2008 Author Posted May 31, 2008 Oh for goodness sake! Watching Big Brother is a bit of fun and doesn't make me any less of a person because I decide to watch it.... I agree - its a bit of fun! Id rather watch BB than Coronation Street or Eastenders where the death of babies and other such torment seem to pass for family veiwing - not my idea of entertainment!

~Andrea~ Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Nooooooo I won't be watching it. Each to their own though. Quote
NiceguyEddie Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 I agree - its a bit of fun! Id rather watch BB than Coronation Street or Eastenders where the death of babies and other such torment seem to pass for family veiwing - not my idea of entertainment! I don't watch those either for the same reasons. They present a view of families where screaming at each other is the norm and sadly the viewers take that on board. Overall society is worse for it. There was a time when "Corrie" was witty and worthy, but that was probably 20 years ago. Remember Fred Gee & his syrup? Or Jack Duckworth when joined a singles club? Now it's as Spooncat says. The more shocking and horrible the better to catch viewers. Quote
Nici Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Wonder what tasks bb has got planned for them? I wish it was on tomorrow. I like the ones where they put them in cardboard boxes and see who can stay there the longest. Always makes me laugh! Quote
Lilywhite Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 I for one can't wait. If 15 (or so) people are willing to humiliate themselves on TV for my entertainment, I will watch. I don't read celeb magazines, I'm not remotely interested in celebrities and what they are getting up to. I'm especially not interested in any of the BB eejits that try to catapult themselves into the limelight once leaving the house, with their kiss and tell stories and semi naked photo shoots. I will, however, watch them dress up like chickens and nurse eggs or sit in cardboard boxes for several hours. Very funny IMO. Quote
happyanddandy Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Agreed Kat and Nici. We don't have the Sun, Mirror, Hello etc etc - have no idea who some 'celebs' are, don't watch soaps or footie - but I like BB and the social psychology stuff. Don't feel deflated Niceguy at least we are not closet watchers!! Quote
supergran71 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Exactly! I hate all programs like Big Brother with passion, and I cannot stand them at all. I mean, why would I want to watch trivial people who can do nothing else but to make idiots out of themselves? And before you all attack me that I'm talking about something I don't know anything about, I have been forced to watch few episodes (of the Finnish version) by my friends. So I know. And I think it's programs like this that are ruining the societies and making people even more stupid. I SOOOOOO agree with you!!! Quote
Michelle Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Can I please make a suggestion.. can we leave this thread for people who do enjoy it, and want to discuss what happens, rather than a general debate? Quote
madcow Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Looks like I'll have to sneak off to the other room to take a peek at who's going in, hubby nicked the remote and won't let me have it Quote
madcow Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 It's ok Judy glad it made you smile, my youngest is in there already and waiting for 9pm! Quote
JudyB Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 We've got to tape it for my youngest - she's off out to see her new boyfriend. Quote
Nici Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Can anyone tell me where I have seen Mario before? He has been on the tv before, maybe Wife Swap? Does anyone know please? Thanks! Quote
happyanddandy Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 He's a cross between Joey and Sylvester Stallone Quote
madcow Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Not keen on him, dunno there's just something I can't put my finger on. Gotta love the Thai 'cookie' lady she looks like she could be fun Quote
Guest Sedgewick Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 What a bunch of numpties. That chubby girl has issues. She was practically wetting herself when she saw one of the guys had slippers on. And then did wet herself when the Thai girl said there were cookies in her jar. Quote
Spooncat Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 ahh I watched it which means I'm going to be hooked! interesting that they have two immigrants and at least one who is against immigrants - will be interesting to see if they can keep up the cover of being a couple - Mario and I cant even remember her name already:irked: also loving the cookie woman Quote
Heather Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 What a strange mixture of people should be interesting this year with jails and horribles and fancy one to can't wait to finout what that is all about. Quote
madcow Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 And then did wet herself when the Thai girl said there were cookies in her jar. Missed that bit I hear a rumour there's going to be a wedding soon. Oh shucks looks like I'm hooked :lol: Quote
Nici Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 That's right Laura, it was Ant and Dec. He was pulled out of the audience as a Joey lookalike and was signing autographs and stuff when he was being secretly filmed. Well done Laura, that was bugging me! EDIT: He was also in Brits behind bars which I also watched. Quote
Spooncat Posted June 7, 2008 Author Posted June 7, 2008 Last nights was good - Steph moaning! It did cross my mind that Mario and Lisa may not be a couple ... Also I notice Daniel put his legs outside the Ash Tray - Punish him! Quote
Spooncat Posted June 8, 2008 Author Posted June 8, 2008 Can't wait for the live wedding! I think this series has been the best opening one:mrgreen: Quote
Laa Laa Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Mario and his girlfriend Lisa were also on Cleanaholics on ITV4. He gets about I'm hooked already. There's no-one I particularly like though. Quote
