If there was ever proof that the world is going down hill, watching big brother tonight was it. The artificial materialsim was absolutely astounding. I had to really question why I bother to watch it and came up with the following conclusion. People nowadays are extremely common and shallow - but amongst those vacuous individuals, there may be just one person who can stand out. Like Derek from BB6. An outsider and an intellectual with some depth. I watch because I crave for that interaction that was at the heart of big brother when it started.
But what do you get. Shallow woman after shallow woman walking on. Why does every single woman who goes on the show have to be so image conscious. Why do they all need to have short skirts and speak with the words 'like' after every sentence? Why do they have to make the noise 'MAH' when they give someone one of their false kisses. It pained me when the first two common shallow wannabes went in there, but that Amy Childs has to be the most common person I have seen, period. She is vile. There is no character. It is all about image and some of the first words I heard her say were 'lip gloss'. It is a disgrace to think how much these people are going to be paid to sit on their asses sipping free juice and alcohol, when other people who have individuality and soul have to slug it out.
But the men were no better. I couldn't take any of them seriously. Where were the deep sensitive individuals with a bit of class.
I just hope that the actual show brings on some honest and genuine characters. The thought of Childs now makes me sick. But the nature of the game is that she is common. And as she is common, a multitude of others will like her.
Oh and as for Brian. No. Slimy and strained. Also couldn't stop saying 'like' all the time, throwing in crap****e innuendos and looking like his make up was smeared on with a kids paintbrush.

An absolute disgrace of a first show. I saw no redeeming features in any of the characters.

I actually don't understand that, but judging from the pictures you have, I would assume you wouldn't be able to understand my arguments if you tried. Could you translate your comment into English. I assume you are human, not a monkey typing on the computer keys, Bruno.

Is it not possible for anyone here to have an intelligent conversation. So far I have had 'Woah' and 'no1curr', which I actually don't understand. Then a Lady gaga picture from someone else.
Does anyone with a modicum of sense want to post something at least meaningful?

Over reaction much

Not at all. I am not reacting emotionally. I am just writing my appraisal intellectually on what I saw and claiming it is unfortuante society is heading down hill so fast. It is sad if you see that as an over reaction, as it seems to suggest you are happy with things as they are - which is why things are as they are! Too many people are either happy with it or think it is best to let it be, without a fuss.

And still no-on has managed to write a full sentence, let alone a complex sentence!

Yeah. Great argument there. You've totally rebutted all my points. Well done for at least writing a sentence though.

Hi Javio
Just joined forum. How do I send my own response to BB. I'm not very good with techo. Should RTFM!!. Liked your post. I want to say something to that Brian Dowling. xx

[Jarvio]

My immediate reaction was that all the women seemed shallow and like you say, image-conscious. The only woman I warmed to was the wife of the politician, whatever her name is, but is she really a celebrity, or just the wife of a celebrity?
As for the men, they were just as bad, if not worse. I ****ing hate Jedward with a passion, they have no talent and shouldn't have ever been famous in the first place. I have no idea who any of the other men are, and the paparazzi guy seems like the biggest arsehole in there.
Still though, BB is a very shallow show in general, so I guess you have to expect shallow housemates to go with it.

Hi, Just joined forum. How do I post my response. x

I do agree with the OP but as arista would say. Its the Sign Of The Times.

We can't help this 'new' wave of celebrity as much as we want too.

Big Brother is a cheap plastic reality show with cheap plastic celebrities. Thats why i love it. If i wanted intellectual i would watch Newsnight
