No the Sun didn't BUT I DID!
I'm sure we all recognise that sinking feeling when BB1 finished. Some commentators hypothisised that there was a stange effect on those fans who had watched Big Brother. Don't we know it ....... look at us all! I'm certainly not the only one who has had pangs when the BB website was shutdown, verging on anger and frustration that we can no longer watch the Housemates 24/7. This extends to wanting to buy the furniture and regalia etc. on an ongoing basis.
On "another" forum I have witnessed quite aggressive exchanges over things we never intended, I don't suppose, a forum to encompass. I suspect this is because we quite literally cannot wait for it to start. Its killing me!!!!
One commentator, quite rightly I think, put this all down to a subliminal desire to bond with what can almost be called an extension of our own family. How true!
The excitement I felt with the impending BB2 was palpable. Thats how I justified buying a laptop especially to watch BB2 as I felt a bit sad watching the screen late at night in my little office at home. At least I was then able to do 'other less important things' whilst keeping an eye on the 'children'. And its all happening again!
This then IS what I identify as "Big Brother Deprivation Syndrome" or BBDS for short.
Oh and if you take this seriously, BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID.........the nice young men in their clean white coats are coming to take you away ho ho ha ha to the funny farm ...................
