Here's what Germaine Greer had to say about Big Brother 2 and its fans (i.e. us!!), back in June:
Watching Big Brother II is about as dignified as looking through the keyhole in your teenage child's bedroom door. To do it occasionally would be shameful; to get hooked on it is downright depraved. People who like watching torture will tune in regularly to see a table dancer, an air steward, a hairdresser, a medical rep and a website designer (inter alia) struggling with the contradictions inherent in having simultaneously to bond with and to betray perfect strangers.
I can't see her making any constructive contributions to the programme on 5 January, can you.
What a nasty, rude woman.
This is the link to the whole of her article - it's not pleasant reading if you're a BB Fan.
