mojoworking   10 #13 Posted May 24, 2004 Originally posted by Phanerothyme I hope this program and all its ilk and all the creative directors who peddle this vacuous pseudo voyeurism end up as the greasy puddle on the lake of boiling lava that they deserve to.  And that goes for all you thoughtless suckers who buy into this ridiculous excuse for something to witter on endlessly about to your long suffering work colleagues.  If it was up to me Big Brother would be modified slightly. 12 contestants, all locked in a house together with only water.  The winner is the sole contestant at the end  - could be mass murder - could be long drawn out cannibalism - could be more entertaining than this televisual OFFAL polluting the airwaves with its unique brand of idiot ensnaring banality.  Beautifully put Phan. Couldn't have said it better myself. There is only one aspect of this televisual tripe you missed out: the 15 minutes of fame factor. After the series ends, the winner (and most of the losers, it seems) are EVERYWHERE for a few months.  Even if you did manage to avoid the actual programme, there's still no escape. The over-confident, vacuous contestants are forever popping up on other shows, ads, red nose day, switching on the Blackpool/Oxford Street lights etc etc.  And the really scary thing is; like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Pop Idol etc, the viewers actually pay for this rubbish with their SMS messages, phone call votes etc. Ever been had?

SusieP   10 #19 Posted May 29, 2004 If you hate the show, or want to bash it, go here  So, what do you think of the housemates? I love the way they picked 10 of the most obnoxious, arrogant, horrible people, a transsexual and a lovely, sweet girl (poor llove!)  Kitten is an attention seeker, breaking the rules just because they are there. I can't see her lasting long, particularly as she shot herself in the foot with the game tonight.  Susie, going to be up all night watching!
