This programme is a blight on my summer, even more so than the hay fever I suffer from. Mrs tank laps it up,I just keep out the way of it best I can.

At the risk of offending decent people, every time this "show" comes on I can't help but think Hitler didn't have it all wrong.

    Would be great if someone could bomb the BB house once all the housemates are inside...... now THAT would make great reality TV

    I would just fill the house with as many "Housemates" as possible 'til it was fit to burst then casually drop some zyclon b in the mix. Not the best viewing in the world but it would make this summer and all those summers to follow more bareable.

    Saw the thread, turned on C4.

    Worthless.

    I'm not turning it off though.

    EDIT: Forgot to mention. I'm on a journey.

    It's day two in the big brother house and anyone with a modicom of intelligence has lost the will to live.

    Ah it's as bad as anything else on C4.

    What else would you be watching instead...?! Some sh!tty shock-fest/daily mail esq illinformed documentary? Or another quest programme?

    They're all bad.

    :lol: There's nowt wrong with Mrs Tank, she's lovely but we just have to agree to dis-agree over the merits of BB. I do tease her a lot about it though.

    Time to 'fess up. I watched the first show to see the idiots go intothe house and dare say I'll watch the finale. That will be the total of BB10 viewing in the Redvee household.

    Stayed at a mates overnight before wasting my time looking for my stupid golf balls in trees or watching them go in the water one Sunday morning :roll: . Mates gf is watching them sleep in rubbish see at night o vision. I get my mates attention and nod toward the telly in a "sort it out" way. With a meek shake of his head he lets me know its not woth the aggro. 2 minutes later Im looking at him again, he looks at she who wears the pants and suggests we watch something else as they are all asleep. Oh but BB might wake them up and give them a task.

    I said that I felt tired and that we had an early start in the morning and thanked them for the use of their spare room. Never seen it since, thank God for Sky :lol:

    Not this year, or so the 'news' story today suggests. Apparantly C4 have stopped the 24/7 thing because it costs a bit. Hence someone has suggested he/she may kill the boss of C4s daughter. I'm yet to be convinced that it's not a publicity stunt in itself. The BB house would not be entirely without interest if the RAF dropped a 2000lb bomb on it anytime very soon.

    You know what? She is undeniably an A-grade cutie.

    I think putting The krankies, Lenny Henry and and of the Geldof oddspring in the house would be punishment enough for them. Or Peter mandelson, lovely chap. :twisted:

    Why on earth does C4 go out of its way series after series to make a song and dance about such a dire programme [1]? And yet they repeatedly tuck the excellent Peep Show away in the obscurity of a post-pub Friday night slot. :(

    Just "Googled" Sophie Reade, she does seem to have a certain attraction. :D

    With regards to Sophie Reade, the word "slut" springs to mind.

    No thanks, prefer someone who is more than 95% organic.
