Does the internet ruin BB

[chrissy]

I was just thinking, when the house pics are revealed i always click to see them before the launch, to me the best part of the launch is seeing the house, I think the internet sites that leak the information on BB early sort of ruin BB for me, Anyone else think the same??

[Joelston]

i don't use the internet the day before BB or the day of the launch. I think it spoils is. Last year i gave in and found out that there would be twins and all girls. ....it kind of spoiled the suprise.


I think that another online aspect that ruins BB (although this is more on digitalspy) is the way theat everyone is always so negative....

*not as good as BB5
* rubbish housemates
*may as well cancel the show now




That really grinds me.

they never realy show you what the house is actually like. its so much better when davina go's in with her little camera.

The Internet is like the press for BB news. They need it to attract people.

BB is more popular than people think.

But i like knowing stuff personally.

Me too, I hate the way people always complain. If its so **** then why do you watch it, why do you come on BB forums.

If you don't like finding out stuff then don't click the links simple as.

there's no way your gonna avoid house pictures. Especially if your going to visit here. Not to mention the pics being on a good few other websites/fansites, magazines/newspapers and the house adverts when they are broadcast.

[GiGi]

This Year I really dont want to look at the house pics! Last year was the first year I did and it ruined it for me tbqh!!

[LaLaLand]

I think it does yeah. It spoils so much for me, but it's my own fault because I can't stop myself from looking...especially a few hours before launch or when rumours of a twist appear.

[bendebt]

Nah i don't think it does i still watch the launch date for people entering. I just can't wait as everywere you go you see the house any were (newpapers)

Well I have seen every series and last year was the first time I saw pictures before launch :rolleyes:

[andybigbro]

I dont go on the night beofre launch usually

[BBDodge]

Au contraire, internet forums are an integral part of the BB experience. Nearly all the factually correct information on websites is that released by the production team. Bar the occasional aerial photo of the garden we've had nothing this year other than that which BB want us to know (and most of that is teasing, rather than informing).

Speculation and anticipation are quite high, and that is a good thing.

[Barbie]

I shut myself off from the outside world come the days before BB because there are some spoilers which i would rather keep until the launch
As for the internet it doesn't ruin it because we go looking for it and it is put right in-front of us and although they put spoilers on it we all still look!
As for the house i would rather wait until launch but they advertise it on the TV and i love! house designs and so for me its irresistible! :hello:

[Captain.Remy]

I won't be on TIBB and others BB related sites when the press pack will be released. I want to keep the surprise.

[victuscarolus]

It's not just the internet as has been said - it's leaked in newspapers and magazines. It's one of those things that's going to happen.

[Tom]

I'm only on TiBB for the build up. When the main show is on I don't bother with BB forums because it ruins surprise as to whos liked and who isn't. Makes evictions less predictable especially when betting odds aren't visible.

[*mazedsalv**]

I will be on here for the series, Its so exciting on here, and I havnt been on here when a series is running so I want to see what its like.

[supernoodles!]

i like knwoing stuff,it doesnt ruin any surprises for me as im not easily shocked by anything bb does anyway.The most surprised ive ever been at bb is when Aisleyne was put in the house next door and we got the new hm.I know we knew about it a week before she went in becuase we had to vote her or susie in but when davina announced there was a hnd it was like WOW!

[Barbie]

i wouldnt say i got surprised at anything more a... oo interesting!!

Same. I might not be on for a while after that either, i want this year to be a suprise.

[bradderzmaloid]

great thread chrissy. i gave in to looking at the celeb hijack hms and house pics and i regret doing it. when any house pics are revealed or a house ad comes on i will turn off the tv or computer. i would like everything to be a total surprise this year, except for what i have already seen. this is an interesting point.

[danbb]

I cannot avoid the house pics or any rumours, just knowing they are on the internet draws me in. Even when the series is running i cant help but look at nominations and betting odds etc. Im an addict lol

yeah same here. Anyway big brother wouldn't be half as much fun without forums to rant and rave about housemates wouldn't it. :)

[rhombus92]

yes. forums i dont mind buut when they reveal secrets it ruins things...

[bananarama]

Good question. I think the internet does help ruin BB in more ways than one. Not just revealing secrets but the hate threads against housemates helps those with "follow the leader" personalities to screw up and evict popular housemates before their time.....

It would be nice if other people did not know what others were thinking then we would get true independent decisions on the characters of the housemates.....But dream on the internet is here to stay so no more unadulterated decisions will be possible now or in the future...

[Jase]

I dont think it does

Il be on here all the time when the series is on.

I want to see what its like, if its this popular when the series aint on whats it like then.
