Brotherly hate
Posted by Gaby Freeman
I suppose I can count myself lucky on two counts. First, I’m not taking part in this year’s moronic and tedious Big Brother; and second, in not doing so I’ve avoided having to skin a creature that is to me, a furry friend. The skinning of the rabbits earlier this month was the final straw for me, and I stopped watching it.
BB8 has been a total stinker, and I’m certainly not the only person to be saying it. I appreciate that there are quite a few people (judging from the huge response on our forums) who have become engrossed in it, but even the usually watchable Davina’s gurning has stunk of desperation.
Most of the contestants seem to be either emotionally disturbed or just a bit dim, and the dumb machinations of certain contenders have been plastic attempts to ape real emotion and behaviour. Endemol’s decision to make it a vehicle for “pick me!” Page 3 hopefuls and Z-list supermarket openers is a short-term, low-rent series killer.
It’s a low and withered end to what was originally a brilliant concept. Will they skin a cat or a dog on live television to get more viewers next year? Seriously, Big Brother: go away. And don’t come back until you’ve actually got a point.
Why did the twins not win,I ask my self,and what about the muppet called Ziggy,

Well to all yall who thought it was the worst big bro ever, what were you watching? and how boring! If anyone thought this years was the worst then you must be sad & boring people because this was the most enternatining show i have watched in a long time, apart from xfactor when my friend Shayne Ward won... i thought Brian deserved to win......

Oh and another thing - remember BB4? Now that was the worst ever, this year doesn't even compare to that in terms of tedium.

So why are all of you who think it's rubbish and haven't watched it bothering to write on a blog about it?!?! If it bother you that much just ignore it, it's not compulsory you know and hey, you must have watched the final to know that Davina was in a red dress so why do that if you hate it so much?
And by the way, skinning rabbits happens every day so get over it.

THE SKINNING OF THOSE RABBITS WAS SICK.
HOWEVER THIS YEAR I BELIEVE HAS BEEN A GOOD ONE IMO IN SOME WAYS...AND REALLY DULL IN OTHER WAYS.
I AGREE WITH THE BLOGGER THOUGH...SKINNING THE RABBITS WAS DISTURBING.

Put Big Brother To Bed Please, BB3 was the best and since then it's been all downhill (other than blonde Nush in BB4.) Anybody want us to Pinpoint-Bomb THAT house from 33000 ft at no risk to the rest of Hartfordshire ... we'll send our B-25D Mascot to do it unless we need to seriously!! From ex-ANON Bomber Wing USAF now married to an English 'Bird.' (and STILL thinks Big Brother 8 STANK!)

Can't believe the "great" British public have been duped by this "fool". Worst year ever.

what a load of rubbish,take this crap of the air,and the show of in that red dress,cant think of her name lol,good bye and good nite,
Posted by: mick | 31 August 2007 at 22:31
I agree with the fact that these people are normal!And Ilike it that way. The people who don't like it must lacking something in their own lives if plastic women, overcamp men and silly idiots who just want to be loved are found to be entertaining. Brian to win.
