I’m not usually so defeatist but here I am waving the white flag and declaring my rights under the Geneva Convention.
I cannot take Big Brother anymore. Are you happy Big Brother producers? You have broken me, I give up. I was so proud of my ability to turn my brain off and enjoy the numbing effects of reality tv but even I have a limit.
Over the past eleven weeks or however many weeks it has been, I’ve lost all temporal awareness, after being subjected to 22 reality TV wannabes. Trainee psychiatrists aren’t exposed to that many head cases in such a concentrated time.
There is a little bit of joy to be had from the eviction process when the public votes by phone and the housemates are released back into the wild under the watchful eye of Heat Magazine to be dispersed and continue the Z-list celebrity breeding programme.
But no, now the producers have decided after the public spent money kicking them out, they would just represent the ejected housemates, like a bouncing cheque, to be voted back in. But it’s okay the money this time round goes to charity. Pah, what a cop out. I’d rather the old housemates continued their descent into media oblivion and I promise to put a pound in the next charity box I see, honest guv.
Two favourites to go back in are busty Lea and tantrum throwing Nikki, both of whom can be summed up by one word….

Yeah, yeah, I wrote the post purely so I could use the word I made up…
I don’t get out much you know.
I am a Big Brother devotee from way back but even I am fed up to the back teeth with this year's bunch of housemates. Only the thought that Glyn may manage to snatch the prize away from under Pete's nose is what keeping me going just now.
Surely this year is the year the housemates have looked in the mirror the most?

I loathe Big Brother it is the most pointless piece of drivel in the Universe

Its 2am in the Big Brother House and everyone is asleep WHAT IS THE POINT.
Now if the vote was to shoot them on the grounds that anyone who wants to appear on it should be allowed to breed.

I have never watched big brother, I get all the gossip about it at work. I love the made up word, I may have to try and sneak that one into the conversation tommorow :0)

Big Brother, hmmm.
A few words spring to mind. A few of them are "massacre", "bonfire", "death", "semi-automatic rifle" and "switch off".
I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.

Never watched it, never intend to, it should be banned, BANNED I say. Great made-up word.
