As with any new idea in this country it gets done to death and completely ruins the whole concept As my mum always says less is best.

TV saw the success of BB and thought what other similar concept they came up with. I think the demise of Hearsay is just the start. However talented most of these 'winners' do not have the backing to make it. They are boosted to high heaven and find life in the real world is completely different.

Bearing in mind the wannabees that were on this year's BB any guesses as to what next year's housemates will be like. The article was very true - these programmes in the main take normal everyday people, chew them up and spit them out not caring what happens to them. They then get criticised for being pushy, but the reason they do these programmes is to get money in as short a time as possible and we, the public, encourage this. After all take Jade (and please someone take Jade anywhere) whilst she was in the house she was completely vilified and was the butt of so many jokes, but come out and she suddenly becomes the 'star of the show'. Are we being fair to anyone. Its a wonder anyone survives the experience.

The celebrities are doing it to kick start their careers and no the score.

In five years time how many people (excepting us lot) will be able to name the housemates from BB. I've already forgotten this year's. Its a shame the concept was great, but it is killing itself - look at the ratings for the latest offerings.

Oh, I am being a bit philosophical - too much of the Christmas shopping its affecting my mind.
