I can't believe I'm the only one here who watches Big Brother!
When one asks others if they watch, the usual result is a contemptuous expression and a categorical assurance of distaste for "these reality shows".
Well I think they're great!
What joy to see that foul-mouthed Karly get the boot on Friday. I can't wait for Lisa to get her come-uppance too!

no longer have a tv that i can see while i'm working - plus have become increasingly bored with it as the years go by. no doubt if my children were at home i would hear about it and might even sit down to watch some with them.

Very wise and dignified of you, Lady Arsely.

I saw my first bit last week late one night, when all my playmates were off out leading real lives, leaving me all alone trapped in my anomic hell of a meaningless existence with no one to gibber my nonsense to. There was this bloke who wasn't quite sure whether he wanted to be a 60s biker or a 50s teddyboy going on and on to a willowy and petulant eurasian girl who clearly thought she belonged on the catwalk or at least in Coronation Street but hated to be reminded of the fact that she was pretty. Stop complimenting me all the time, I don't like it, you creep, she kept saying over and over, in so many words (I feel his pain, I have exactly the same problem with Betty). Urgggh, you're great looking and all that but, like, you're horrid to me and all that, he kept saying, shaking his head in his hands with the aid of his conveniently placed enormous sideburns. Stop complimenting me, asshole, she said. Yeah, like, you're gorgeous all right, I never said you weren't, but I've never met anyone so, like, rude and all that, he moaned. This went on and on for at least the two hours I sat benumbed by it. Can my life really be this worthless and empty that this is worth even ten seconds of my admittedly dwindling brainpower, what am I doing?
So I went and "talked with" Agnes instead. Rapist scum-sucking filth, he said, as I gave him a cheery greeting. No, Agnes, nice morning isn't it, I said, it's a nice morning. How dare you words my twist in that disgusting perverted feminist way, you degenerate filth, filth, filth, he said. And so all was normal, and well, my Big Brother aberration finally behind me.

That's all I am to her now - these aristocrats. Used and abused I am, a mere plaything.

Big Brother is so passe.
Everyone who's anyone in this post-modernist world has moved on to 'Coach Trip' as the ONLY reality TV worth the license fee. Unfortunately this year's series finished a few weeks back, but you can still catch it on 4OD and on E4 or More4 or whatever.
The best programme in the history of television ever.

Eh? Do we send detector vans all the way to Scotland these days? What a waste of money.
Are you seriously suggesting my little Glaswegian pumpkin that "Coach Trip" is better than "The Apprentice?"

No it isn't. Keep your frottage to yourself, thank you.

Where's the fun in that? I'll have you know I'm firmly of the Vic Reeves school of frottage, madame.

Known here as the Antique Roadshow, its a bit like Big Brother for the elderly. repetitive..repetitive...but some folks like it.  May I just add that Marcus from BB is the most pathetic old lecher I've come across outside these forums!  |

Have to agree with you there, Daz though Noireen is culpable of leading him on and raising false hopes. Lisa is a bitch from hell. Her only subject of conversation is the other housemates and interfering with others' disputes. It may be passé to some but, for me, it's still good and compulsive viewing. Eric |
