If people weren't so desperate to be famous from reality TV and acted themselves we would probably find some actual interesting people who are genuinely eccentric and do away with the dullards of our society.


/rant over

and for the most part, I completely agree with you. The last few BB shows have been like this: with very few people entering for the experience and happy to go back to normality, happy to return to their own pre BB lives.

it's the very thing that totally destroyed Big Brother.

Absolutely. Just desperate wannabes after making a quick buck from a magazine deal. Their act soon falls and we are left with some rather dull people to watch for the summer which is good for the first few weeks but then it gets monotonous.


It always used to make me laugh when BB were like we have a Lesbian, a set of twins, a punk etc. Yeah great as a stereotype, doesn't mean they are actually interesting to watch.

Couldn't agree more.

You think back to the 'chicken Stu', Rachel Rice's from a few years ago: to keeva, Nathan, Rachel etc from the last one: people who went on to experience the house - and then (along with others tbf), happily went back to their own lives - with no drama, no self publicity afterwards: it's people like that who I admire for going on the show: not the wannabee famous such as JJJ, Mario, Luke n Bex, Michelle (bunnyboiler) Bass. It's eejits like the latter lot that totally ruined BB and made it the joke that it became.

I don't agree with Rachel Rice. She was so desperate in her audition and a complete different person, in the house she was a bit boring (nice, but dull).

But yes people like Bex, Luke, Charley (although she made BB8 better as it was that bad), most of the cast of BB11.

Re Rachel. I mean from the pov that she didn't act up in the house in a false persona - she started as she meant to go on (if that makes sense).

As for Endomol taking part in the 'kidney' competition. If ever there was a reason to be vehemently against them: this has to be it.

Sick and very disturbed minds at work there. When any company connects themselves to competitions vying for a dying person's organs: far as I'm concerned, that's on a level that it too warped for words to be enough to explain.

Oh dear god at least check on the information put in front of you before the condemnation.

It was a hoax show that was set up with the participants knowledge to bring to the publics awareness of the lack of donors in Holland, all money from the texts etc was given to a kidney foundation.

Talk about sheep.

Calm your horses, doesn't mean we are sheep. I read the article and that was my first comment. I have since read more about it.

I guess I should really know better than to trust such info posted on here...........as it being true. My bad.


Mind you, even such a set up is pretty sick even as a hoax show (despite proceeds going to a good cause.
