what actual talent is involved in being a big brother housemate? wasn't big brother one of the first shows to shot rocket people with no talent into the celeb world?

Ok but that doesn't answer my point.... I never said love island was perfect and I in no way prefer it to big brother, i was just pointing out that a lot of not most of the criticism being thrown at love island could just as easily be thrown at big brother. Some people on here seem to be on a real high horse about not watching Love Island, when at the end of the day big brother isn't exactly highbrow tv either...

I watch both LI and BB...I just love people watching and how they interact. BB has more diversity but I preferred it when it had just your normal Joe Public on there from all walks of life...LI has Dani Dyer on there this year who earlier this year appeared on Survival of the fittest, even though she had to leave. The fact that She is Danny Dyers daughter makes her an attraction for all the wrong reasons..so I see LI going the same way in giving Z listers the opportunity above 'unknowns' like BB has done.
It doesn't stop me watching but I think it's a shame they do this.

Well I have done it from the other perspective I was snobby about love island in the first two series and refused to watch it, I watched big brother but I thought love island will just be another ex on the beach type programme(which I loved the first few series and then stopped watching as it became rather tedious and annoying) I had a feeling love island would just be a lot of good looking people in a villa hooking up and doing the deed so I got the impression big brother was more superior, in the fact there was a point to it with evictions nominations tasks etc and a good mix of a cast(sadly doesn't look like the case anymore)

But that snobbiness against love island finished when I decided to give love island series 3 a chance as there was so much conversation going on about the first two series and I instantly fell in love with it. It doesn't beat big brother for me but it's certainly something I enjoy watching

But my mum and dad are now watching love island they are in their late 50s and absolutely love it and always talking to me about it which is slightly uncomfortable and cringe for me! But they are definitely snobs about big brother and call it a bunch of people you don't know sitting around in a house and watching them do boring things like boil an egg (think the only episode my dad had ever watched of big brother was when Glyn boiled an egg lol) so they are shocked I still watch it. If they weren't snobby about it and actually gave it a chance they would realise it's so much more than that, well to me it is

I want to point out my dad is slightly obsessed with geordie shore too which I find so funny! I stopped watching when we lost Holly and Charlotte
