bound to be fireworks,

though after last years shenanigans it really makes you ask what is the point of the show when shock factor is now the name of the game and entertainment takes a back seat.

Some people may find sexual assault, racism and bullying entertaining - truth is in small doses and as a window into scumlife behaviour it can have its merit,at least on some kind of warning/socialogical standpoint. Though when it becomes the be and end all of a show, that show should just be allowed to die.

Lets see what we get for BB8, I still hope for "normal" people and a return to the shows original ethos, but I won't hold my breath

Take a show like "Eastenders" or "Coronation Street" and then, take out all the drama, violence, racism, vandalism, fire, arguments, cheating, sex, etc.. etc.. etc..

Then see what you are left with.

I shall tell you in plain and simple English,

(A show with not enough ratings to survive)

That is the truth and if anyone in the whole wide world expects soaps or shows like Big Brother, Celebrity or not, to survive without some sort of "trouble", then they are not understanding how it all works in this kind of business.

Drama and arguments create ratings and viewers find it exillerating, (so they watch), this creates, (viewing figures, i.e ratings)

Shilpa Shetty is not an argumentative person. She is very nice and polite and friendly. To talk to Shilpa in a friendly manner would be a nice conversation, but not something which is going to interest many viewers.

It is obvious to most of us that, Max Clifford is her publicist, (agent), I watched him on TV talking about Jade Goody and what he would have suggested to Jade, is, that a successful celebrity who has a thriving career, doesn't need the Big Brother house and should stay away from it.

If that was the advice that Max would have given Jade, then, if Shilpa Shetty does go into the Australian version of CBB, then Shilpa must be either ignoring Max, or, it is different treatment for Shilpa Shetty, as Max is aware that Shilpa is an Indian Bollywood film actress and won't have the same problem that any other past housemate did in January's CBB, except Jermaine, of course!

What I said earlier in this topic, is, that the Australian housemates will be aware of the past furore in the UK and will be best advised to tread carefully and keep arguments and comments to other housemates instead and if anybody finds Shilpa Shetty to be, whatever?? just to keep tight-lipped and argue with another Australian instead.

You know what I am saying? No more furore. Total peace & nodisharmony

I hope it goes well for Shilpa Shetty and BB Australia.

I saw some footage on Youtube from Australia BB, certainly arguments and stuff at times, of course.......
