14 Grumpies now...

Yes, that's the thing that really gets me, too! :inamood:

Please sign me up to the Grumpy Squad!

You can sign me up and can I have membership for my 20 year old daughter too who isn't on the forum? Left it running on live feed earlier and within seconds there was a close up of Lewnie on the bed. Her actual words were 'why are they constantly zooming in on this crap?' So not just the oldies either!

I'd like a short documentary about Lewis's ballsack.

That's just it, I'm not prudish. I don't mind a bit of nudity, but the constant close-ups of snogging and foreplay is not what I want to see, especially when it's manufactured just for air time.

Exactly,I'm no prude either ,I just don't wish to watch or hear tonsil tennis all the time.

I can't remember if the show has always been like it - I don't know if I'm romanticising the past of BB but I'm sure they used to blur out nudity? Or cut to other cameras whilst running the audio of an intimate scene.

There's something hyper-sexual about current reality TV that just doesn't interest me... and I don't think you have to be prudish, asexual or "old" to be put off by it. It's just...not entertaining. It doesn't enhance the show, it doesn't get people talking beyond "omg did u see marnie's tits", and it rarely even excites me in a shallow way :laugh:

I have this vague memory of a lady shaving herself down under that was shown in intimate detail, way back when ... unless i am going completely mad :laugh:

However, that, as far as I'm concerned was real, all the recent attempts are just contrived for the camera, and thats where it loses it for me. I'm just not interested in watching someone act up for the camera.

Now I set my mind to it, didn't they used to produce a naughty bits cd of some of the early series :shocked:

Sign me up :laugh:

I hate the slurpy noises they gross me out:fist:

And we don't need a close up of it, i was waiting for the camera to smack them on the face:rant:

You may as well add me as I too cant stand it lol

I think that's about 20 members...so far...waves flag of delight

...but Lstan, Lstan, Lstan..(hey btw..:love:..)...two people with a pure love like Lewis and Marnie have don't snog...their lips sparkle and dance together in flames of passion on our screens....

i'm nominating you for the BB production staff :joker:

Yes i'm here also totally sick of them even focusing on all the showmance stuff when so many other things happening that we don't get to see. So obvious why Lewis got his balls out , but then everything about him is obvious to everyone but Marnie. Hopeful there will be less slobbering now she beginning to clock him.

21 members now continues waving flag

Banging Big Brother--:cheer2::cheer2: Sign me up for team grumpy.

Put me down for a grumpy too ,hide my face in the cushion when they show those shots

24 now!

If it's the same incident I'm thinking of, it was Melanie in BB1 plucking (!) her pubes with eyebrow tweezers! :yuk:

That was pretty revolting and, like the current batch of "performers", she was clearly doing it for camera time.

Like many other posters here, I get annoyed (and bored) with the time devoted to showing us every angle of this very unattractive snogging, magnifying every squelching slurp.

If they will insist on showing this, they might at least dip the sound a bit - it's almost as bad as showing us the bits when the HMs are eating loudly, speaking with their mouths full and scraping their cutlery against the sides of their bowls! :rant:

Yes. Agreed.

Same as with the 'massage scene' with Bear/Chloe. That went on for what felt like half the show. The camera was lingering on them for ages, making the viewer feel like some dirty old peeping tom, watching his neighbours through the curtains of his grotty flat

I'd rather watch some normal conversations about something interesting, like you see on live feed. Why not edit more of THAT side of BB?

Intelligence and humanity are better highlights than yet more soft porn close ups between boring reality stars.

Sign me up for team grumpy. Sick to death of showmances. Don't know why BB keeps on plugging them.

Exactly Livia!

Does that mean you want to join our team?

Of course! Hey give her a nickname and i'll add it to the list :)


:o Maybe c5 will do a special "lifting lewis's ballsack" doc where he gets surgery and we get the before and after. They do look rather sad and deflated.

Again agree, not a prude, but dont like having it shoved in my face. Thought I made that clear in the OP.

Now that would have been entertaining.

(also hey hon :love:)

Oh goodness I hope they dont get ideas lol :laugh:

I don't mind seeing it quite so much as hearing it...

Aaggghh! Said it before; hate it when they don't close their mouths when they chew!! Bear, Heavy and Chloe never do/did. It grosses me out :fist::fist::fist:

Yeah, and what's with the non kissing/kissing. It's like they're just shaking their tongues at each other. Especially Bear and Chloe.
