Do we take this show/ourselves too seriously?

[optimisticcynic]

Now the dust is settling, why do we get so riled about this show when only about 5% of the people I know even watch it and half of those are begrudging husbands/wives. People get personal on here defending/attacking people we'll never meet and whom we've either never heard of or barely remember. A colleague likened it to phoning in and joining a forum to discuss Countdown.

[Suze]

Yes, very likely. There again, it's hard not to get caught up in the moment as with most things.

[Wonderful Woman]

If you think this place is bad, avoid digitalspy at all costs :shocked:.

[In the Drunk Tank]

Yes

[thesheriff443]

some do!
also in forum land! we are are equal!
some members dont get that fact!

[cassieparis]

Wars have been started over less!
Human beings that's what we do. We pick sides. Then want to seek out those with an opposite view and rally with others with the same.
Man and his beliefs and all that.
What's funny is that we do it over something where the outcome is of very little consequence.

[joeysteele]

Probably but once you start avidly watching something and connect with people on it for whatever reasons,that is when it becomes more an event and part of your lives at that time.
Then when you see any possibly unfair comments as to people you have come to like and also in some cases, the need to take the further time to vote and spend money on them too.
That is when for the time it is on, it becomes more serious as to how you react to things happening on it and concerning it.

[CharlieO]

No doubt.

[Apple202]

Of course we do.

[Kizzy]

I'm sure you've picked up on their username too ;)

Yes! they are my new fave poster ever and nothing they say could ever be wrong ;)

[LemonJam]

Definitley. I always watched the show because it makes me laugh and whenever people are like "he's got a gameplan!!!! :devil:" or "HE SHOULD'VE BEEN EXPELLED" or "she's not what she seems she's actually a bitch who murders BUNNIES omg" I just don't really care for it tbh.

[Me. I Am Salman]

It's a Big Brother forum, of course we're going to analyse what goes on in the house and have arguments about it, we're not all casual viewers since we all cared enough about the show to join this site. And also what else will there be to talk about?

[flamingGalah!]

Yes. Most of us get caught up in it a bit too much, but others go waaaaaay too far with their hate & spout such venom :nono:

[Jake.]

Definately.... but it's all part of the fun, right?

[mkbb]

I dont see how people can hate people in BB its just a bit of fun. Unless someone commits an act of violence etc I dont dislike anyone In BB. Its all part of the game to lie, bitch, be two faced form alliances and enemies.

[Kizzy]

I only get upset if I see people supporting HM's who exhibit aggressive behaviour...I hate violence. :(

[Shaun]

you get used to it

[Wonderful Woman]

Yes that's right and there's no need to apologise, I'm just as obsessed if you hadn't already noticed :lovedup:

Without a modicum of doubt!

I'm sure you've picked up on their username too ;)

I'm glad you picked up on that reference and didn't just assume that I was excessively vain :hugesmile:

Yes! they are my new fave poster ever and nothing they say could ever be wrong ;)

Thank you :lovedup: You'll regret saying that as I'm a bit of a gobsh.ite.

Well I'm sure you are a wonderful woman, a Smiths fan can never be bad.

Got it in one inone :hugesmile:

[fruit_cake]

It's all a storm in a tea cup

[pcro]

I just marvel at the number of people who endlessly post on a forum devoted to a televsion program they seem to despise. But they don't hold a candle to those endlessly wanting to get the authorities involved at every turn. This year's prizes for most obsessed fans would have to be the pro-Deanna's during BB and the anti-Julie's during CBB. Both groups just completely over the top. But it's what keeps the forum alive, right? lol

you get perma banned for breathing wrong over there

[Cherry Christmas]

I would say yes far too seriously online, though in reality I rarely vote, this CBB I voted once for Lorenzo when he beat Cheryl, C5 get my viewing but not my dosh....:blush:

[DanielLuis]

The answer to this question is very obvious isnt it?

[mirak_eel]

One reason, because it's Big Brother.

[HBB1508]

It's human nature - bit like the gladiator fights in Roman times we love to get into a slanging match and on a forum it's nice and safe :)

I was pro-Deana and anti-Julie. I don't consider myself to be particularly "over the top". All housemates have fans who take it a little too far. Obviously you didn't read some of the posts from the anti-Deanas. Anyhoo... I think the majority of us understand it's a reality show and a bit of a circus.
