Did these people not sign up, for however long BB runs, and made a conscious decision not to see their loved ones for what ever period of time they were in the house...?

Yes, but I blame BB for doing this. I blame the housemates not one jot for taking the 'prizes'. I would do the same. Its only a ****ing shopping task and these days they get given food and drink constantly anyway...when was the last time we saw someone having to make a meal up from chickpeas and oats?

I think BB were determined to have then stay again in the house so this would have probably gone on until BB got the result it wanted.

What hacks me off is all the outside information that comes with it....it's a complete farce...

..I think that they were going to be tempted and tempted anyway until they said...YES, OK I CHOOSE LOVE...because it feels that, that has been intended for the use of the Others' house again with this task...

..yeah that is annoying, I agree...there was a tie when the outside couldn't be discussed at all...*ok, snaps back from the day-dream state..*...but in a way I also quite like that they can in what it reveals about characters and their 'game-play'...Ryan for instance was all oh no with regrets when Hughie's mum told him to calm it down..(and meaning calm it down with Ryan as well..)...and then when his friend told him that it was all looking good etc...he was kissy, kissy Ryan again...pfffftttt....

The only way is BB.....That's the shiyte they are feeding us these days. This isn't BB, its a scripted reality show with Z listers and a really really bad production team.

The program is one step from being a corpse and they would do anything to try and drum up any kind of interest.

I remember seeing an image of the hm's on one of the 9pm BB highlights and the majority of housemates were lounging around on the sofa, nobody talking and they looked like the most boring, un-entertaining, dis-interested group of people assembled anywhere. There is very little chemistry between them, why would there be, they are all wannabees, plucked from b rated reality situations, non of them real, very few of them with any intelligence of note and those that have use it in such a retarded way -it's a hinderance rather than an asset.

From the outset the production team decided that they knew better and they would in essence produce a program where the story lines were pre written, the clashes and fights were pre-scripted and expected. It's an orchestrated fiasco and they have run into the buffers early and are now scratching about for anything that will grab the attention of the red tops.

It has slipped so far away from the original concept of the program that it's barely recognisable and now is a very pale imitation of its' self and you could draw a parallel to Blind date and First Dates- it's become some sort of sh!t reality show but without sense or rhyme or reason.
