Will they still have to stick to that silly low limit? Will be **** if they do cos they just get bored really easy

In fairness: given the booze culture of the UK's younger generation: it says a lot that a great many think the only way to good entertaiment is getting pissed out of their heads, acting like assholes and the inevitable fighting and aggression that then takes place.

Personally - it's about time they had a booze free house - if people can't come alive and have good fun without getting tanked , it's a pretty sad day.

If I want to watch that...... I can go to any town centre any night of the week and watch it for real, without the benefit of editing.

I couldn't give a toss about the morality behind getting the housemates pissed. I'm not in there. Watching a drunk house is a hell of a lot more entertaining from a TV perspective than watching a sober one. Booze has fuelled most of BB's biggest nights.

So you want another BB11?

Oh yes..... watching people fighting, spitting, booze fuelled anger is really entertaining isn't it.....

There are a shed load of other real life documentaries if you want to watch that stuff.

As I said: it says a lot that this is seen as 'entertainment'. You don't have to wait for Big Brother come around to see that...... you no doubt will have it in your local town every weekend.

Are you even a fan of the show?

Isn't seeing people 'pissed, acting like assholes and the inevitable fighting and aggression' the best part.. :L

BB is trash tv. It's not about sitting around drinking tea having intelligent chats

So you didnt enjoy fight night? Or Brian Belo and Charleys raging argument?, Jade and Adelle over verruca gate?

Watching people fighting and making tits out of themselves is very entertaining.

Why wrap them in cotton wool if this is supposed to be real life then they should be allowed to have booze just as they would outside the house.

[Patrick]

In BB9 when Fight Night II happened, where they drunk then?
I can't remember if they had a bit to drink before or not LOL

[Stu]

A dry house would be hell.

I've been a fan of the show since it's first showing....and I'd say this was part of it's downfall.

If you can't have fun and have a good time without booze..... I'd say that shows a pretty limited intelligence.

No i didn't enjoy watching people fighting, being aggressive and being violent. I found it pretty sick, disturbing and completely uncomfortable. As a fan of the show: it plunged it to new depths. and i have to say: it raises more questions as to how 'some' find that entertaining.

We can always get you a re-run of BB4

[Jessica.]

I think housemates can be entertaining without alcohol, it's not a big deal really.

I'm entitled to voice my opinion. Tough if you don't agree. BB4 had personalities that were boring.

There are plenty of good personalities out there who don't need to be pissed out of their faces to be entertaining.

Drinking is a routine part of life for most people - especially those that frequent these types of shows. There is no great cosmological mystery or hidden connection behind the fact that watching drunk people do dumb stuff makes for entertaining TV in a lot of peoples eyes. Drinking is a relatively normal activity. Why is it low to take entertainment from watching strangers on the telly drink? Wouldn't that make it a despicable act of depravity to then want to go out with my friends myself and drink? No? Why? Because it's normal?

It's vaudeville, sure, but that's Big Brother for you. If you are going to take this rat arse serious a view of it then having to rely on strangers interact with each other in a house in the first place could be said to be a bit sad. Sober or not. I'm sure you are willing to argue that point though.

I never said you couldn't all I was doing was replying with my own. It's clear from the replies you're alone here with your opinion.

Some of the best and most memorable BB moments have happened because of alcohol. Taking it away all together would be a boring mess. We can still have good personalities AND alcohol to provide entertainment.

If you don't like it BB obviously isn't the right show for you.

[Smithy]

Probably not, it's C5, they care more about ratings than anything else, the more controversial the housemates are, whether thats down to booze or not, the higher the ratings, so they'll probably ply them with booze everynight

What you don't get is BB isn't about that, I watch it for the escapism. Don't have to all act like pretentious twats all the time.
