A burping task? A BURPING task?! - Big Brother

Carmen Queasy · 11-07-2006, 22:47

What... the... hell?

Seriously task woman, formerly of Songs of Praise, do something... good?

A burping task?! All. Time. Low.

This is what I put in the other thread:

The tasks really have been awful. No effort put into them at all. Even last year, the series which I thought was one of the worst, had better tasks then the crap they're giving us now. Probably the biggest flaw about this series.

I think BB5 had the best tasks. The school task, the army task and the classic wedding task. They lasted days. This year, you'd be lucky if they lasted hours.

Carmen Queasy · 11-07-2006, 22:53

Exactly. The tasks last hours, so it doesn't give them (and us) any real entertainment.

It looks like they're trying to be "clever" and make the tasks more psychological - For example, making Susie hate it, and get annoyed, or make Imogen try to ruin the task and people get angry at her.

Boring!

Do you remember the Olympics task last year? Absolutely hilarious!

Baileys · 11-07-2006, 23:01

Whoever thought this task up should be voted out .... NOW!

It's disgusting AND revolting; I will NOT be watching tomorrow.

I agree with Ste... "All. Time. Low."

I also said in the other thread:

Tasks tend to bring people together, especially long tasks, such as the ones in BB 1 & 2 like pedalling all night or keeping the fire going.

No tasks = more boredom = more fighting = better HL shows.

Obvious why they have let them drop slightly, and made them easier to pass... so they can give them more drink.

Same equation; more drink = more action

Exactly. BB shouldn't read on old ground, but should be inspired by it.

This years has been more about trying to get a bit of tension created, rather than being entertaining (you know,makin gus laugh, rather than go

all the time).

I wonder if the producers work on commission - the more hatres they stir up, the more the public hate a certain person, the more money they make from voting.

Better highlights shows? They're the same-old every night:

- "She said this about Aisleyne who said this about Nikki who said this about Imogen"

- "Do you fancy Pete?"

- "Babes"

- *Mikey and Imogen lying together*

- *Nikki moaning about something*

I'd rather be entertained by laughing at them being stupid in tasks, which last a bit longer...

Like I said in the post above, it's probably about creating tension to make more money.

The biggest flaw in this BB is that BB is allowing them to be able to act their way through the day. The would never had happened in the past because an arduous task would always bring out their true colours.

But BB seems happy with the current storyline and is doing nothing.

Making more money, I assume.

I really have started seeing Endemol for the money grabbing company that they seemingly are!
