... we are caught in a routine obsession each year with analyzing every little time a housemate slips up and bitches about someone and championing it as a reason to hate them?

Yet ...

... we are far worse than the lot of them with the level of vitriol we direct towards certain housemates? Who we aren't even in the house with?

It only just crossed my mind how odd that is. Take a look at some of the hatred towards Shabby on here. Instead of discussing her merits as a housemate we have people making constant comments on what a filthy dog she is with regards to personal hygiene.

Now, if a housemate bitched even a tenth of the amount we bitch about them, holy war would ensue, right? Just bear that in mind when you get to being ultra judgemental about a bunch of strangers who are getting judgemental aboout each other.

Aint it funny? I mean, we are worse than the lot of them, really. Flip the mirror on yourself. This cat's already realized it.

They should put the 14 worst members in the house then..... god the website would go into meltdown.

[Stu]

TiBBers really would make for great housemates, IMO.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

But I agree what you say, tibb memebers are jsut or possibley worse than the hosuemates, but its a bit of fun

The thing is Stu.. they have chosen to go on BB. They KNOW that some people will be saying cruel things about them. As a housemate I don't like Shabby and like I said before.. we would be doing her a favour if she is evicted tonight.. rather than her surviving and being hated even more.

Does that really make it any better though? I mean we complain about them for the minorest of things and we are, on the whole, far more horrible and judgemental. I know it's panto but I thought it was interesting to point out. The real monster is the viewers Endemol creates.

That's the name of the game Stu. We would have tumble weeds blowing through the BB section otherwise, unless someone did something truly evil like stab another Hm or something

[starry]

I don't think I've hurled vitriol. And I think the vitriol is worst on Digital Spy every year.

seriously - get a life pal, I was done feeling sorry for housemates years ago when they all started realising it was just a quick and easy way to fame and fortune. They have seen how the public reactes over the years and probably been on these forums. All of a sudden they start moaning about the public booing them on arrival and how they are being percieved. Listen fore warned is fore armed and they have had 10 years to get used to this.

[BOOSH]

but it's ok for us to bitch, that's what this site is for, for us all to make our opinions on them, and that's why they are in the house, to be judged by the public, we're just doing our job really (:

I suppose your right Stu.... I am a fan of BB and get really into it. Maybe I should give more "constructive" opinions than just calling Shabby a "vile little troll". I don't think she will care though.. if people who don't even know her say this stuff. You got to learn to ignore it.

You completely missed the point.

Well done. Have a chocolate medal, you star.

In a nutshell.. this!!

I don't like Shabby but once she leaves the house.. she will hardly be spoken about. It is just people saying stuff at the moment stuff happens really.

[Beastie]

Jon.. are you there? I am sorry.. please vote for me if I get on BB! thanks. lol

Aye, it was a fantastic little metaphor. Charlie Brooker's a genius .

Now to take out the trash in more detail :

Well for a start I never once suggested that we should start to feel sorry for the housemates. That seems to be an assumption you dragged out of your own ass. Secondly, not every housemate wants fame and fortune from the series. That's yet another assumption and yet another example of the type of fan judgement this topic was created to highlight. Thirdly, booing them all on entry is again another example of this same type of fan judgement, given nobody in the rent-a-mob crowd really knows who is who or who wants fame from the experience yet.

I was not suggesting that we rally together and get a little telethon going for the housemates. A little raffle for Davina to host so we can send in some blankets and teddy bears. Nor was I suggesting we shut up and stop with the pantomine hate. No, I was merely pointing out the fundamental - unescapable - hypocrisy the fans carry themselves with, which is down to Endemol urging us on and our own possible insecurities [how would any of us fare in the house I wonder]. It's not something I hate, just something I felt the liberty to point out.

So next time, homeslice, you might want to read over and understand my posts better before you jump to conclusions as harsh as telling me to get a life, because it's a perfect example of the type of narrow ass, caustic judgement the original post was designed to highlight in the first place.

So you managed to both completely miss my point and prove it all at once.

Dig that.

HA HA spot on!!

[Niamh.]

On the booing thing though, that annoys me, I miss the days in the early Big Brothers where if you were Boo'd you were really disliked, It means nothing now cos everyone is Boo'd

[Stu]

Yeah it's sort of lost it's value.
