This Is The First Year I"m Not Really Bothered About Big Brother - Big Brother

betfair · 27-05-2007, 05:34

Some of the magic has gone for me.
and we all know what were gonna get come launch night.
a bimbo a freak or two people in the minority (will they be brave enough to put a muslim in? )
lesbians or someone who is gay,basically a set based on previous years.and now we know endomel hide things from us and certain people are already picked to go on before the audtions start,and the company seem to have faverites.
it just leaves a sour taste for me,same as a few other reality shows .

That's fine. I'm sure lots of others will continue to enjoy the series... in fact millions of other people.

What's so brave about putting a Muslim in? If they do put one in that's fine, if they don't that's fine also.

~V~ · 27-05-2007, 06:37

I've felt like that every year since Series Three.

But, I always watch the launch as it's essential viewing, and then I get sucked in

zombie woof · 27-05-2007, 07:33

Me too. BB has ran it's course and is slowly dying. The last 2 series have been very poor.

alexandree · 27-05-2007, 09:02

didn't they put a muslim in when they put Gos in ?

Didn't Gos say he was 'non-practicing Sikh'?

Me too...though I won't ever vote again as I do believe there is too much "fixing".

I feel it has run it's course. The biggest mistake BB made in my view was after BB4. Because people in general felt BB4 was boring, BB went too extreme instead of just sticking with the format. This then resulted in BB having to top this extreme presentation and BB6, BB7 and CBB5 was the result. They only have themselves to blame.

If BB didn't get the mix of BB4 right, they should have just got on with the next BB with BB4 in mind, try and get the mix right and hoped it would be as good as BB2 and BB3. Some may also include BB1, but I didn't see all of BB1.

It the evil thing that turning me off...I get fed up of watching people being miserable..or needlessly starved or having no loo rool..ect ect...

I was starting to get exctited when I read they were planning lots of fun for this year..but now I hear the kettle and toaster are going to be locked up..why????

Give them their tea and toast for goodness sake.or we are going to get 10 or more weeks or caffine deprived people moaning cos they cant have cup of tea...

Riviting stuff

RacerWelsh · 27-05-2007, 09:46

It will all change once the series gets going.......

are you talking about plate-smashing AHMED !!!

sophie-aisleyne · 27-05-2007, 11:47

im not lokking forward to it, because aisleyne wont be in it. it wont be the same. its gonna be dead weird, like because last year, i was watching it like live 24/7, because aisleyne was in. now its gonna be diffrent. no one will ever replace ma hero, sooo.. im not that bothered about big brother, because ive got my hero

Jaglin43 · 27-05-2007, 12:13

I say the same every year but get suckered in 2 weeks in, then watch live feed most of time. Last year, I saw the housemates and thought I can take or leave this but.. the Shabaz drama drew me in.

TheAllSeeingEye · 27-05-2007, 12:29

shabaz was a muslim.
I think bb will work this year, and I can sense the highest ever tv ratings on wednesday's launch show because they have created so much contreversy with last cbb.

a2thej · 27-05-2007, 12:37

I'm still quite excited about this years Big Brother, I always get excited for the launch night, just in anticipation of what/who they are putting in the house, and anythign else that's hidden.

I wasn't excited last year as everything was in the papers about two weeks before the actual launch, I watched the launch and probably didn't watch a full highlights show throughout the whole run.

So, if it is rubbish, I know I can manage without it because I managed last year, but I'm still anticipating it on the off chance we get another BB3 or BB5 or BB2.

Callous · 27-05-2007, 12:43

I can't say I'm overly interested this year (of course that could change).

13 weeks is too long..and if it's the same format (as it appears to be) then I can't see it holding my interest.

The only thing that would get me hyped is if went US BB style and it turned into a cutthroat gameshow where the gameplay is obvious and the winner wins through skill.....and the public are kept out of it (as we tend to mess the show up as much as Endemol does at times).

shabba was the real star for me last year.
what a impact

pity bb did nothing about the bullying he got.

*synspaced · 27-05-2007, 13:41

Unfortunately, the format its eating itself and I kinda agree about Shabba.

northernslayer · 27-05-2007, 13:48

one of these threads pops up every year but this year i am kinda feeling this way too.

I might change my mind though come launch night

Apple_Crumble · 27-05-2007, 13:51

Like every series I will give it a chance (been a fan since the very first day of BB1), If it turns out to be like BB7/CBB5 I will probably be switching off.

Dictamus · 27-05-2007, 14:02

I always say I'm not going to watch it, end up watching it and then switch it off again when the bullying gets out of hand (as it always does).

It's a terrible addiction.

willywonker · 27-05-2007, 14:24

I am looking forward to it in the hope that there is less tampering, won't hold my breath though
