Default Are you starting to get pre-season bb apathy

As a counterpoint to this thread

Bored by endless rumours and speculation?

Sick to death of "OMG it's nearly almost not quite just about to really start " posts

Burned out by the whole thing, due to saturation coverage in the media, before it has even started?



Do you believe in the law of diminishing returns

Do you wander what will be the big screw up, which great idea will flop completely?

Do you wonder if C4 / Endemol ever paid their dues to the estate of George Orwell?

Do you grimace when you realise there are some who have not heard of:

George Orwell
1984
Big Brother before Big Brother (The TV show)

Well this is the thread

Simple, get out of the forum, and do something else, instead of being laughably contradictory!

It's my job to put the alternate viewpoint

That is why I am here

Oh give over. Im sick of the constant 'OMFG YAY' threads too. That does not mean I have to leave the whole forum.

The alternate views are always the most entertaining ones , for better or worse.

I do notice that this thread was more popular than the other one over night.

My amazement is that given all the nasty things we hear happen to HMs during the show and after by the press, is that anyone still wants to go on.


Who in there right mind would want to go on such a show

Oops I almost forgot




OK

I was made to apply, I tried to get out of it, but was held to it

Same. Although it really brings you down and depresses the heck out of you sometimes.

Actually I did not want to get in, I was trapped into giving a commitment to apply and go as far as I could, and the people who trapped me, held me to it.

I do not need to jinx it, it does a perfectly good job of it on its own. I do suspect though the ghost of George Orwell, out of revenge for C4 / Endemol ripping off his literary idea.

I'm already so sick of Big Brother 9 that I have closed my website. I am just tired of the collection of "Will it be eye flashes tomorrow?!" and the "OMG! No press pack!!" and also, the "Will it be house pics tomorrow?!!"

They were all just pointless threads. Surely, if there were eye flashes and house pictures, someone would post when they actually came to life, not just creating a huge hype about them when they're not actually online.

Everyone's HUGE deal over the upcoming series ruins the whole show for me. And everyone's hype about it being a good series will only make it disappoint, considering the **** pan that has been Big Brother over the past few years.

Some people just dont seem to get it do you? You dont have to agree with everything that happens on this forum. Just because your sick of the hype does not mean you have to leave the forum.
