I saw a bit last night and it pretty much just proved why I haven't watched it

Correct, and exactly what was asked for. :)

Shucks. Thanks

Though in all fairness to the thread - I've watched various nights here and there but haven't broke my neck to catch all the shows and half the time, it's been on in the background.

It's not exactly rivetting stuff - and I can fully understand why people are losing interest / switching off. It's just not the same anymore: we all know too much about how it all works, as do those on the show as well.

The surprise element just isn't there anymore: and without live feed: it's not the same at all.

Long gone are the days of the original shows. More's the pity.

Well within a week would generally be considered to mean less than a week, either way it's incredibly pedantic to make a point of it

And if being pedantic is your game 'this past week' - the exact phrase I used - could just as easily mean this week alone. From Monday until now.

I've said before I stopped watching on Saturday anyway. In fact I said it in the first post I made in this thread. So none of this is news to anyone. Just a half arse, 'playful' attempt to catch me out.

But yeah. Life goes on etc. Rock on.

but as we all know MTVN, Tibbs is full of pedants, and I'm certainly not alone in being so when it suits - as you are displaying yourself both in this and your last post. :tongue:

I'll use the same well worn phrase that people use to me on here: people need to lighten up..... and spot when there is a bit of lighthearted playfulness in action.

it could be worse: I could go around calling people all sorts of names, throwing insults all over the place, ...... maybe I should try that from now on, seeing as it's the fashionable thing to be doing from what I'm read on this thread the last few pages - that seems the fun thing to be getting into! :joker:

I'm so proud of this thread. Its like a refuge for the disillusioned.

Stu 04-09-2011 01:04 AM

It deserves it's own Behind The Music. If Behind The Music was Behind The Thread or something.

Actually I'd love that for a lot of threads. That's a great idea. Behind The Thread. Interviews with Patrick and Scott etc in their 40's smoking cigarettes going on about the crazy days.

I'm just watching BBBOTS and no plans to watch anything BB related after this 'celebrity' version finishes.

I'll just watch again if and when Pete Burns guests and say 'see you next tuesday'.

lostalex 05-09-2011 10:49 AM

I havn't stoped watching, but i'm glad i watch on the internet, because i can scroll through the boring bits. Last night's episode took me about 15 mins to watch the 40 min show. I think that says something.

I still lie awake at night wondering if you ever did catch up with the show the next day?

Joe. 07-09-2011 02:56 PM

I usually watch without no disruptions and watch the whole episode. Last night I watched something on my laptop during it (with headphones in). CBB is **** this year. Amy to win though.

yeah headphones are a good idea when watching porn...all that screaming.

Lisa! 07-09-2011 03:05 PM

Its abit daft stopping watching it so close to the final, you only have like today and tomorrow to go =o/

Livia 07-09-2011 03:11 PM

Missed Sunday's... didn't care. Half-watched Monday's... couldn't be arsed. Only saw the last twenty minutes last night... so what? Never happened before, but this time there is seriously nothing to watch except gross stupidity with a celebrity tag.

Zippy 07-09-2011 03:29 PM

I haven't watched one moment of it on ch5 since monday of last week.

*proud*

I'm going to give the non-celeb BB a go. You?

Frankly though, I'm not holding my breath.

oh yes

it's a different ballgame with it being "normal" HMs instead of scripted z-listers with their agendas.

Im hoping the 500k prize money will bring out the worst in them. :)
