What's your opinion on Big Brother? I don't mean the retarded housemates, nor the unwashed masses who inevitably tune in every night, but the actual concept?

I think it was interesting as a whole, to see how people learned to interact with others in a situation where they were monitored at all times. Sadly, that's as far as it went, and I think it should have been cancelled after the first series, and all of the producers shot.

Alt Q: If you could cancel one program, and bring back another in it's place, which ones?

(PsychoChomp, Wed 6 Apr 2011, 13:04, Reply)

I concur
I actually enjoyed the first series, when there was an element of social experiment about it. I also (embarrassing confession time) applied to be on the fourth series, obviously I got nowhere, thank fuck as if I had TWL wouldn't have had me.

Series 5 onwards became an ever-more-ridiculous game of "let's get freaks in a pen and poke them with metaphorical sharp sticks" and the concept was lost. Celebrity Big Brother could potentially have been quite amusing if they'd ever got some actual celebrities - or more specifically, people who were famous as a result of an excess of talent, wit or intelligence.

Day one
All the housemates have taken an instant dislike to Martin from Norwich, and have stolen the contents of his suitcase. Martin has spent most of the day crying in the diary room.

I have an excellent idea for the new series of Big Brother.
During the 1st show, as they show each contestant being driven up to the house, get out, act like a mong in front of the crowd etc, we get a 30-second opportunity to decide whether to let them into the house, or boot them out straight away. It can be a red button type vote or something like that.

As they get to the top of the steps, the doors swish open, and just as they put their foot on the first stair going down into the house the stairs turn into a massive slide, the floor at the bottom opens up, and they disappear into a tank full of sharks.

Now that ladies and gentleman, is fucking entertainment.

Depending upon the size and breed of the bear, it may not need to kill more than once every week. Possibly some of the victims' corpses will feed it for several days and it will spend some time after the kill sleeping. It could also be argued that bears are unaware of the notion of who is the most eminently worthy of dismemberment amongst a group of vapid celebrities

No, he told me last night that he'd been pissed.
He phoned me to apologise and say he hoped he hadn't made a twat of himself (he hadn't). Glad to hear about Arty.

It's said that alcohol lowers your inhibitions and you tend to say what you really mean.
That could be bollocks though.

Yeah, just not sure if I should tell him all the crazy again though.
Oh well.

He'll figure it out either way.
Maybe it was just stuff you needed to get off your chest.

Yeah. To be honest, I think I feel better about it this way.
I get to be mental, and he doesn't know. Win win. I'll have to talk to him when he's drunk more often.

He genuinely sounds like a very sweet, very caring guy

Haven't read all replies yet

Edit: Big Brother was a supperating sore on the face of TV. I didn't watch it, miss it or want it to come back. Every contestant should've been sterilised on entry, everybody who applied should've been as well, and possibly 99% of the people who watched

glad I didn't put money on that. Would've thought it'd be more, since I seem to be the only person who thought it was just 'alright'

It's because you were constantly on the side of the Alliance weren't you?

My ex wife applied to go on just after we split up.
Didn't get anywhere. Which is a shame, 'cos I'd have made a fucking fortune in the tabloids.
