A friend of mine, Ray Shah, finished runner-up three years ago to Cameron the Orkney fisherman. I met all the house members from that year afterwards - some of them several times - and found all but one of them all a likeable enough bunch. I contrast that with the line-ups for last year's and this year's programmes, both of which seem to be predicated on conflict between the house members. I'm not sure that's a good thing nor am I convinced that it makes better television. That said, I'll be sure to watch the highlights shows when they're on. My first degree was a minor in psychology and it still shows.

Would not watch it if you paid me!

Biggest load of sh!te ever!
Watched it for 5 mins last year or the year before because my brother's girlfriend wanted to see it

and it made my blood boil, they were all screaming like children at the drop of a hat, seriously, very annoying and indeed they should all be armed with machetes!

Caught a bit of it last night, from what ive seen of it.. Shabaz belongs in an asylum, Lisa is a wailing banshee, they really have gone overboard on the freaks...

until they make a real version of the Running man dont expect me to turn in and watch this reality crap. and the reason they show it all night is because they have nothing else to show. 12 hours of Big Brother is a million times cheaper than 12 hours of syndicated US TV

I havent' watched it this year but in other years a number of the contestants were hilarious and the show wasn't as old as it was now so tasks etc were interesting. I think they are running out of ideas for the show now.

I cant think of any redeeming qualities, a show like this serves absolutly no purpose other than to satisfy the shameless voyeristic needs of people , in the same way soaps do or radio shows in the format adobted by Ray Darcy Jerry Ryan Joe Duffy etc.. people are nosey they want to know what other people are up to hence gossip and chat forums .These things wouldnt exist if people didnt want them .

Its intreeguing (sp?) and interesting to see how people change and adopt to the situation over time, I didn't realise that "its shyte" is a good enough reason, some people like it, that not good enough???

someone hid orange juice crisps and sweets in a box while talking to himself...the next day he threatened to kill himself...then he left

how is that not entertaining??

**lofty9** · 24/05/2006, 3:35 PM

I have watched it and I hate it with a passion but still have a need to watch it now and again

. The thought of it being on to August is really annoying as I know it will be on my TV every night until then. This year with the world cup on in June there will be war over the remote at home.

That's not entertaining - that's just wrong.

If someone enagged in that sort of weird behaviour on a bus or train, they'd instantly clear a 10ft radius around themselves, and everyone else would be straining to avoid eye contact with them. Put it on TV, though, and everyone si straining to watch it. Tragic.

Celebrity really is eating itself when 10 or 12 losers can be picked off the street and made into instant celebs purely by having a TV camera pointed in their direction whilst they brush their teeth and chat tedious nonesense to other randoms also plucked off the street.

The only positive in all of this is that there will inevitably be a backlash to this nonsense. By God, it can't some soon enough.....

Probably the wrong choice of word used, it's maybe compelling but you can't call it entertaining to watch someone who is probably unstable become even more unstable on National TV.

I haven't watched it at all but find myself unable to escape it because I read the tabloids and yer mans feckin picture is all over them...

what thats shocking any time you see some one going mental there are loads of people watching , ever see 2 people fighting in the street a big crowd comes to watch , if you have a mental shouting the odds on a street corner people will stop and have a look .

its not as good now since shabaz left as he was hillarious tv to say he was having a break down is nonsence , just because some one act differently doesnt mean he is mentally ill , he was just a **** .
