How Big Brother 2 got into number 9 is beyond me - it was such a good show what with Helen and Brian fighting for the prize!
But No1 was Pop Idol - which was such a good show too, the showdown between Will & Gareth made it great tele.

Thanks for the article LEE - keep them coming people because I am doing a project on Reality TV in my Media Studies class.
