[Romantic Old Bird]

Well, I think Simon was particularly criticising what it has become, not what it started out to be.

I think BB1 was full of curious and rather naive people, BB2 had one or two looking for fame or fortune, the rest for a laugh.

BB3 had to bemore about fame, they really knew what they were going in for

BB4 was, I believe ALL about going in for fame, no matter what any of them say.

In that respect, he is right.

Simon Cowell makes a fortune out of people disliking him, but I do respect him for his honesty on things like Pop Idol and particularlt American Idol. The rest were saccharine. And if he got it wrong, he did admit it.
