    We in the UK are now in the unfortunate position of having another fucking series of Big Brother running meaning several weeks of Big Brother this and Big Brother that in the press.

    Do the other countries who run the show have the same kind of throwbacks in their shows as ours do?

    Big Brother got a whole lot of attention the first time they aired it in Norway, several of the participants got celebrity status ( I think a couple of them was first out to have sex on TV btw ). I think the last series was the third, but I'm not sure as I can't remember any second series. They had to join forces with Sweden on the last series, which probably should give us a pointer as to which direction the public interest in this kind of entertainment is going.

    Horrible show, give me the Eurovision Song Contest instead any day.

    Here last run was cancelled due to low audience.
    Not bad, after three or four seasons. :x
    Who had the idea of that kind of program? I'd like to have a few words with him... :kill:

    Time for another Foamy's Rant on the subject matter...

    Not safe for work!

    I can't believe it's actually gone this far with the whole concept of Big Brother if nobody around here, for example, likes it. Are we that different? ;)

    Neat!!!

    I wonder how much higher the average intelligence of each country would go if the applicants were all shot afterwards.

    Just what exactly is this "Big Brother" y'all are talking about? When I saw the header, I thought this topic was about George Orwell and/or the likelihood of his book "1984" actually becoming reality. :-?

    Shame on you! :D

    Alas, no. The TV series 'Big Brother' involves a certain number of people (I can't remember how many exactly, but I don't care either.) Who live in a house, their every move is recorded on camera and broadcast to the public. Every so often the house mates have to nominate people who they want to leave the house, and the two (or three?) people with the most nominations get put to the national vote, whoever gets the most votes has to leave. This continues until only one person remains, and they win some money for some reason. Channel 4 always choose people who have conflicting personalities, so that there are loads of genuine arguments and more swearing than you can imagine.

    Basically it's crap.

    The Big Brother part of it is that the house the show is about has cameras in every room, so that the viewer is actually Big Brother, watching Them. Something to be really proud of, I'd say. :-?

    Well, the big selling point of the house this year is apparently the fact that it has see-through showers.
    Go figure. :roll:

    yeah but the women have amazingly large breasts and are slappers. Hence the showers which are actually in the open in the garden not see through.

    The bedroom has a see through wall into the main room.
