BB=Big brother, or Big Bother, or Big Bag of Rubbish
Ok, what can we do to get this bs off the tele. I've said before, I don't hate much, but this show, I HATE. The people on it included, and the people that made the incredibly rude "I don't think so" jingle.
I'll admit it, I watch some crap. But this is beyond that. I don't see the entertainment that can come from watching a bunch of adults acting like immature brats.
The ONLY reality tv I will occasionally watch is the biggest loser. Because it makes the people in the house genuinely happy, it shows their health and lifestyle improvements, and they aren't completely stupid.
BUT, if the show didn't make me soooooooo angry already (don't give me this, "You don't have to watch it" crap. This stuff is bad for society in my opinion, I just finished babysitting my 8yr old cousin, and thats what he tried tricking me to watch). But they are getting that wicked cool, super party-boy Cory in next week. I only know this because they advertised it before the biggest loser finale (wow, some did really good stuff, one guy got rid of his diabetes).
What are they thinking. How can they parade this "legend" around. I'm not some do-gooder of society, but I think this is completely inappropriate.
What more I can't believe is that EVERY SINGLE MORNING, all they talk about on the radio is about the events occurring in the house the day before. Lucky one of my favourite channels 94.5, is listened mostly to by old people, so I manage to escape.
Sorry about this, but it makes me angry.
Am I the only one? Other fellow young people froth over the show, but I don't see why.
Or am I abnormal? (Could be the reason)
It's quite clear DP, that your brain isn't yet totally de-sensitised to utter crap!
You're supposed to work your way up to it by starting at an early age on daily doses of mindless drivell like Home and Away, Neighbours, and a few others, where they teach that the way to solve all problems is to fly off the handle in a rage or hissy fit until you get your own way.
My advice to you is, if you want to retain any form of normality, keep doing what you are doing now and TURN IT OFF!
I completely agree with you and I am insulted even having to watch the advertisements for it.
I actually kinda enjoyed the first BB.
The unknown, the voyerism of it all, the group dynamics. It was all fascinating to me.
Since then i reckon it sucks the big one.
Terrible reflection on the youth of today.
However Cory is my hero and i am changing my Avatar to honour his goodness.
Good on you DP.This means your not a sheep and actualy have your own personality.I reckon the main watcher of BB is your overweight teenage girl.Sitting back madly texting her votes.
I'm with relli in that i enjoyed the first one.But now it's pure pus.
Saying that i will have one eye on the teli for friday night live .... There's just something about Bree Amer that mesmorizes me
As for removing it from the air.....The ratings will decide that..my tip is it will be the last one....
Mr Patrol, I agree with you and have felt your frustration, however I have moved on beyond your frustrated state. You have some options,
1/ Remove yourself from being exposed to it. Yes, turn it off.
2/ dont listen to commercial radio, all they do is crossreference anything that is remotely popular in a blatant attempt to align themselves to increase their ratings.
3/ If you watch TV watch the ABC, or SBS,
4/ Listen to ethinic radio or one of the many ABC channels
5/ do not bring newspapers into your home, the west, the sunday times etc are simply another device to cram advertising into your synapses and influnence your choices.
Can you influence the community and make change? probably not, but by ignoring the blatant attempt to dumb down the population and turn us all in to a bubbly drink sculling, instant warm up your food culture and constantly being told by the advertising mediums that "YOU HAVE NO TIME" you may find that you do if you remove yourself from the above, ie dont watch the teli, or massively reduce your exposure, dont listen to the radio, it just drives you insane, add after add, cook your own food, grow some vegies, drink water, teach your kids to discern the crap, you dont need to rail against it, BB etc, just studiously ignore it, dont join in converstaion about. Just dont do it, go windsurfing or surfing instead.
the show is crap, less poeple are watching it so they stuff the house full of F%^& weirdos and retards to try and boost rateings, poor form chanel 10
I think I'm behind the times with this, but commercials say that *The Party boy* Cory is going into the house sometime on the weekend.
Its all the youth of today need! To Celebrate the poor behaviour and choices of an immature child who is proud of his actions. How proud must his poor parents be...
On the other hand I watched the last 10min of the Biggest Loser Finale, and at least THAT show had a good outcome for all involved!
Throw a DVD on instead.
And this weeks intruder is Sgt Roy Smith...And whats your plan while your in the house roy??
Roy :- I think i'll just try to blend in Grettle.[}:)]
Ah yes crowd there's going to be some crazy antics from Roy this week!!
Big Brother and its TV ilk exists for the same reason pop music exists. Pre pubescent and younger teenage girls. Unless you are in this group you will find most of the stuff on commercial TV is quite banal and idiotic.
If like me you don't like football, cricket or home improvements all that much then 90% of commercial TV is a waste of time.
Influence of America in one neat little package. Damn Americans. Damn Kyle Sandlinds.
Thank you Japan for providing an 'off' button on my TV remote.
okay so for some stupid reason I'm sitting here watching BB.....
and contrary to what I though, it seems it might be pay-back for him, possibly a HELL experience, and a slight ego breaker.
But we'll see...
Sniping would get a reaction - huge ratings for the last episode. Random poisoning would be interesting.
Maybe send a plausible threat from Jameah Islameah or something and see how they react.
Ecstasy in the water supply would make for some interesting viewing.
