if you ever thought about doing bb read this article

very interesting makes me wanna do it even more !!

I never knew Endemol were a part of that. :shocked:

yep :-0 and if it does come back i think im going to have to have a chat with my friends who have already done big brother !!!

Is that Endemol thing true? Wow.

seems a bit scary ahh. still wouldnt mind doing it though.

I read this article ages ago, and it only made me want to audition even more.

Unless a person has a truly thick skin, doesn't mind their own life - past and present being scrutinised - during the show and long after - and doesn't mind all and any family scandal regardless of how slight, being dragged through the mud: affecting family members from long forgotten parents, cousins and their lives: as far as I'm concerned - has to be nuts!! Unless you and anyone connected to you is squeaky clean: I'd stay well away.

A bit of money and a bit of fame wouldn't make me go on Big Brother if my life depended on it. It doesn't just affect the contestant - it affects many people around them too - people who get dragged into it and have their lives turned upside too - when they didn't ask for it.

i think i must be mad i wanna do it so bad / does anyone know if any of the housemate were users of this site before bb and wouldnt it be kool if someone from on here want on it

i now have to think hard and come up with a persona if wanna do plus do some research

See this is what annoys me about BB now. It's never genuine people, it's always people that feel they need to have a persona which isn't like them and so a lot of the h/mates end up being fake or dull as hell because they cannot keep the act up for 12 weeks.


If people weren't so desperate to be famous from reality TV and acted themselves we would probably find some actual interesting people who are genuinely eccentric and do away with the dullards of our society.


/rant over


:)

and for the most part, I completely agree with you. The last few BB shows have been like this: with very few people entering for the experience and happy to go back to normality, happy to return to their own pre BB lives.

it's the very thing that totally destroyed Big Brother.

Absolutely. Just desperate wannabes after making a quick buck from a magazine deal. Their act soon falls and we are left with some rather dull people to watch for the summer which is good for the first few weeks but then it gets monotonous.


It always used to make me laugh when BB were like we have a Lesbian, a set of twins, a punk etc. Yeah great as a stereotype, doesn't mean they are actually interesting to watch. :bored:

This has actually put me off auditioning. :bawling:

if i went in i know it would be for the experience, i personally dont have any desire to be famous id just want to experience it myself. i can imagine being in the diary room it would be surreal.

Couldn't agree more.

You think back to the 'chicken Stu', Rachel Rice's from a few years ago: to keeva, Nathan, Rachel etc from the last one: people who went on to experience the house - and then (along with others tbf), happily went back to their own lives - with no drama, no self publicity afterwards: it's people like that who I admire for going on the show: not the wannabee famous such as JJJ, Mario, Luke n Bex, Michelle (bunnyboiler) Bass. It's eejits like the latter lot that totally ruined BB and made it the joke that it became.

I don't agree with Rachel Rice. She was so desperate in her audition and a complete different person, in the house she was a bit boring (nice, but dull).

But yes people like Bex, Luke, Charley (although she made BB8 better as it was that bad), most of the cast of BB11.

omg that's sick :shocked:

Re Rachel. I mean from the pov that she didn't act up in the house in a false persona - she started as she meant to go on (if that makes sense).

As for Endomol taking part in the 'kidney' competition. If ever there was a reason to be vehemently against them: this has to be it.

Sick and very disturbed minds at work there. When any company connects themselves to competitions vying for a dying person's organs: far as I'm concerned, that's on a level that it too warped for words to be enough to explain.

That Big Donor show was a hoax apparently:

Oh dear god at least check on the information put in front of you before the condemnation.

It was a hoax show that was set up with the participants knowledge to bring to the publics awareness of the lack of donors in Holland, all money from the texts etc was given to a kidney foundation.

Talk about sheep.

DYALC.

Calm your horses, doesn't mean we are sheep. I read the article and that was my first comment. I have since read more about it.

:nono:

It said "TV Stunt" that kind of implied it wasn't real, still a sick concept http://www.spillitnow.com/images/smi...n_rolleyes.gif

Come on Ben, it is the Daily Mail and the article itself is from 2007.

As for any sort of program like this being sick, depends on the country and culture it is being aired in, Sometimes shock tactics are the only method of getting a message hammered home.

I know it is. That was initial reaction. I read further on it this morning as I wanted to know if this was actually real as it occured to me something this sickening would have been bigger news. :)

I would never go on BB,
I have an A Class personality which is only fit for The Real World.
The thought of being associated with Big Brother makes me physically sick

The Real World is full of even worse wannabes. :bored:


If you want to be famous get an actual talent. ;)
