So the big question is- Olympics opening ceremony or BB Eviction?

[Joe.]

Poll coming up-

BB faces tough competition on BBC1 on July 27th when at 9pm the Opening Ceremony to the Olympics will commence, be prepared for LOW ratings that evening!

[Joe.]

For me i'm probs gonna go for the Olympics and sky+ BB!

[Black Dagger]

I'll probably flick through to the Olympics every once in a while, for like performers I like.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Definitely the Olympics!

[Jack_]

Hm, let's see...

Once in a lifetime event or a standard old BB eviction that could quite easily be recorded and watched later?

Yeah, the opening ceremony.

[Shaun]

Jack [2]

[Vicky.]

No interest whatsoever in the olympics, so I would be watching BB

Unfortunately I will be watching neither, as Im at work :laugh:

[Josy]

BB for me

[Gillian-73]

The Olympics

[MeMyselfAndI]

Both, Not sure which one I'll watch live yet.

[armand.kay]

Eviction :love: > Olympics :bored:

[skkc16]

Olympics baby. Will record BB. I'll be on twitter as well but I don't mind if the eviction is spoiled.

[Jords]

BB >

Tbh Ill be flicking to and fro

[sarah78]

I'll watch the olympics and sky + BB eviction, i do anyway and skip past the ads.

[Sam:)]

Yeah, the opening ceremony.

Its not really a once in a lifetime event.... it happens every 4 years

[Jords]

I think he meant here in London

[arista]

Haven't had interest in the Olympics for years, and never really watched any opening ceremoneys of anything (it's just a parade and silly stuff mainly).

[Munchkins]

Olympic opening ceremony without a doubt


Big brother will be watched on iplayer

[Munchkins]

Yes but not in the UK
when was the last time the Olympics were hosted in the UK?

[WCR1942]

As a great athletics fan I shall watch the eviction.
Opening ceremonies are not sport, just a waste of money put on for the 'want to be seen' people.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Not decided yet, I suppose it will depend who's up to be evicted.

[Sam:)]

Yes but not in the UK

64 years ago? thats twice a lifetime really....
Anyway if your just going to be watching it on TV and not attending its not a once in a lifetime thing, you can do that every 4 years

[Joe.]

I bet BB will be getting the lowest ratings of the series that night!

[bbfan1991]

Olympics. I watched most of Euro 2012 most days when BB was up against that too!

[waterhog]

this should be included in every Olympic - BB as it rules.

[Saph]

Not sure.. depends whos up for eviction

[Blue Cadillac]

Bored with the run up to the Olympics already. Have absolutely no interest in it whatsoever. Will be BB for me.

[SharkAttack]

Always watch recorded BB late at night when its more quiet anyway, so Olympics.

[smeagol]

sick of hearing about it already. i watch bb to avoid things like that. complete waste of money that olympic nonsence.

[Mrluvaluva]

1948. BB will have to be recorded that night. Won't want to miss the opening ceremony. Although it does get a bit tedious in parts, and I can't see it as being as good as Beijing to be honest.

[Saph]

Did they even have TVs in the 1940s :conf:

[JamesBond]

BB is way more fun to watch.

I only watch the Olympics for the the races, don't care too much for the opening ceremony. If you really want to watch it later then im pretty sure it will be plastered all over YouTube.

[Angus]

I've got a ticket to the technical rehearsal for the opening ceremony at Olympic Park on 25th July, so I'll just record it on Friday and watch the eviction instead.

[Iceman]

Olympics.....by a LONG LONG shot.

[Mrluvaluva]

Did they even have TVs in the 1940s :conf:

Public television broadcasting started in the United Kingdom in 1936.

[Yayita]

Opening ceremony is just a parade of athletes and flags and some artistic ceremony. Id watch BB and review the ceremony on youtube later

[Vodka Drinka]

Erm, the Olympics. I bet BB will have dire ratings that night.

[Marc]

Olympics obviously.

[Shaun]

Genuinely concerned for the state of this country by this poll at the moment

[Doogle]

Olympics by far.

[Jack_]

Genuinely concerned for the state of this country by this poll at the moment

I agree. I was expecting a landslide victory for the Olympics with only a few voting for BB.

I'm quite appalled that it's such a closely fought poll.

[swinearefine]

What is so great about the Olympics? A parade and a bunch of people I don't know playing boring games isn't my idea of entertainment.

[In the Drunk Tank]

There's a lot of non-Brits on here who won't be as excited about it though, plus there's quite a sizeable chunk of the population who just aren't that enthusiastic having seen the huge cost of it all, the major security operation etc.

emmm you just described BB

[Iceman]

Kind of like BB....

[Jords]

Why are people so dramatic about other peoples preference? Does my head in.

[minty3]

i go on holiday on the thursday so neither would have been big brother as the olympics is a load of crap

[Videostar]

For me i'm probs gonna go for the Olympics and sky+ BB!

I agree.

"the olympics is a load of crap"
You must have done months of intense research to come up with that considered opinion.
