What is it that you love about Big Brother?
 
Obviously we were all drawn to this forum because of Big Brother at some stage.

What is it that you love about Big Brother?

I actually don't know. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe I'm nosey.

jackc1806 18-05-2014 02:12 PM

Well I watched it while growing up and I just got really interested in it, like getting to know 16 people over the summer was really cool like being 12 :laugh: so it just drew me in and I still love it today :lovedup:

Daniel. 18-05-2014 02:12 PM

The drama and getting to know housemates over time, it gets really gripping and is great supporting your fave.

reece(: 18-05-2014 02:13 PM

Drama, conflict and watching interesting characters develop

jackc1806 18-05-2014 02:15 PM

I do miss it being 13 weeks tbh

Marsh. 18-05-2014 02:16 PM

I'm glad we're back to shorter series. The 13 week ones always dragged themselves through the last 3-4 weeks.

The whole design aspect, The eye, the house, etc

Rob! 18-05-2014 02:38 PM

I just find the whole concept absolutely fascinating. As many quirks and twists and gimmicks as you throw at it, you can't eradicate the core concept of the show - a group of complete strangers thrown together in a bizarre environment and how they interact.
The omnipresent figure of Big Brother is a great creation as well. I don't understand why the American format wouldn't captalise on that. "Hey, this is Alison" :wtf:
The theme tune, the opening titles, the fact that the eye is so important to the ahow's identity, the emotions that I feel every single season - it's just brilliant.

I've watched it since I was about 7/8 with my family. So I've grown up with it, I love it! Even through all of it's small faults, it's still a really great show. I watch it mainly for entertainment, not really keen on arguments and drama, but still love it. ;D

If arguments and drama isn't entertianment, what is? :umm2:

It can be if I like them, but if I dislike one of them then it just gets on my tits :umm2:

The social experiment side of it that was prominent in the beginning is what drew me to it in the first place.

I like to watch people to see how they react in certain environments and situations, I enjoy watching the way they interact closed off from everything, with people that have never known before and then seeing how they build friendships and enemies.

I also enjoy the tasks when they are actual decent tasks that has had some thought put into them.

It's a shame its not really about all that any more and more about the constant drama and arguing, oh and the dreaded showmances, I don't mind the odd argument it's what genuinely happens in reality but the constant bitching every day causes an awful atmosphere in there and its off putting IMO.

Entertainment is an individual preference...

Connecting with people you don't even know and gradually trying to figure them out.. going through the emotions over the weeks with the housemates themselves. One week the forum could love someone, the next week they could do something to completely ruin that.. its all the ups and downs along the way and trying to figure out which housemate/housemates you really like.

Jarrod 18-05-2014 03:42 PM

I'm not sure. I only caught BB11 by accident back in 2010 and got hooked. I think I'm fascinated by the idea of watching regular people just live inside a House and see how they react to certain situations. I'm just intrigued by the whole set up of the show.

Then there's the production side. I absolutely adore the Houses, the sets, the technical side of it all. I just find it all so fascinating.

BigBrotherGuy100 18-05-2014 03:54 PM

I think its the only show that changes it Titles, eye and "Set" (house) each year

Cal. 18-05-2014 04:18 PM

It's mostly been on as I've been growing up, and it was such a big thing back then, not saying it isn't now but Big Brother was a lot bigger in its Channel 4 days. I remember my mum actually calling home when we were in Tenerife to ask who who had won Big Brother 8.

BBDodge 18-05-2014 04:27 PM

It's unscripted and the plot can lead anywhere.

That's where it scores over other reality shows and over soaps.

I love to see people compete against each other, I also like to see how people who might be nice on the outside world behave so vicious because they are trapped in the Big Brother house 24/7 everyday.

BigBrotherfan4ever 18-05-2014 05:24 PM

The social experiment got me watching from the 1st episode & since then I've been totally hook to the programme, I like to watch how the HM's interact with each other, the arguments they have every series that can be totally blowing out of all proportion, & when people start to get evicted, how the dymanics change. I'm just a total addict of the shoe & never can see a time when I would stop watching it.

T* 18-05-2014 05:36 PM

I also have been watching it growing up, My mum said I was sitting on her lap whilst she watched the launch :love: It's always been on in my house, my family used to be hooked but
Nowadays after the move to C5 They only usually watch the celeb ones and sometimes the normal ones, but I watch all of them.

Natalie. 18-05-2014 07:01 PM

Grew up with it, liked seeing all the different characters and plus I am a bit nosey

smeagol 18-05-2014 08:54 PM

I'm aquarius so we like things that stimulate the mind. so i like the way people react to things i guess. like the mind games etc. and i really like sussing people out,
its interesting plus can be funny.
