Post Why do people watch this show?
Why do people watch this? Is it because you like to watch people live their lives? Isn't that a bit weird?

Why not just peak through peoples windows? It's free and live.

Tbh you make a good point. When you try to explain to someone what's actually good about it it's difficult. I enjoy watching the drama, and watching people living is just fun.

Because we have a unique interest in people's behaviour in certain situations. It's a shame a lot of non-Big Brother fans are too close minded to this concept.

It's not really a unique situation. They're living in a house. I do it every day, and I'm sure you do.

But do you live with 13 strangers and dress up in an electrocution suit to compete for your weekly shop?

If that's the kind of stuff you want to watch, then there are plenty of shows that have that, without all the pointless arguing in between.

And, I did once, yes. That was one hell of a night.

I like the 'pointless arguing'

Pointless arguing is pointless. But, fair enough. I can't be bothered to argue. It's pointless.

I'd say get out more, but then I'd be a hypocrite. I probably belong on the Microsoft forums, anyway. Dunno why I'm here.

They're living with complete strangers, ruled by an authoritive voice, being filmed 24/7. It's interesting seeing relationships develop over time. Don't look at arguing as pointless, it's relevant to relationships growing. Then there's the side of gameplaying to win, which is interesting to see whether people are being two-faced.
