No, can't get into it.

Been watching it and am just finding he whole thing contrived, BB is always contrived but this is in your face to the point of incredulity.

I don't want to watch almost a dozen screeching harpies, an older woman supposedly with a mouth who wanted to have a fight, bring it on!!!, and has been quite as a lamb since she went in there. The other older woman who quite franky might as well leave, the paint is more interesting. I can't even be bothered with their names, theres no real drama or engagement with the characters for me to form a bonded opinion, unlike other series where I though one may deserve to win and in general the rest where desperate losers, and my chosen winner was only marginally less of a desperate loser, which is the fun of it, but at least I was being entertained - this time I'm not.

The bloke, the one bloke, it just feels set up with a "posh" wannabe lookalike in there, and Łndemol are setting them up as a poor mans Posh and Becks, in another thread I called them a "tribute couple". I stand by that - it seems so obvious to me, and if it looked like it wasn't going to come off Łndemol would engineered a way very sharpish to get rid of one of them.

For me. theres just no drama - the "highlight" has been a barny about hair straighteners for gods sake.

and when Ziggy was being chased around and they were trying to rip his undies off, for what I do not know cos if they managed it none of them would know what to do with it [on TV anyway - except shriek and giggle like cackling hags], but I did wonder what would have happened if that had been reversed - men chasing a woman around with intent to strip her on camera, it doesn't take much to imagine the nation-wide garment rending [pun intended ].

Make-up and shoes and hair products and namedropping ....the sum total of the last week

I doubt I'll stick with it much longer if this keeps up, its just not engaging me and I just don't care, - a massive blaze, firemen rescuing them from the roof may peak my interest, but somehow I doubt thats going to happen.


Ah well. Tomb Raider Anniversary is going to be getting some serious stick
