Big Brother Producers Have Missed A Chance Of Making An Interesting Programme
I think the concept of Big Brother is superb. What a fantastic idea that could make for very interesting TV. Unfortunately they decide to pack the house with complete no marks, the utterly brain dead with no interesting character and nothing to say. Not one of them would be someone who you would ever think "I hope they will be there, they are great".

I tend to agree, but I think the point of Big Brother is that it is really the modern day equivalent of the old freak shows. There is also the fact that if people didn’t watch it, then they wouldn’t bother making it.

I think you are right. I watched the first Big Brother but now it is BB9 I think and it is still the same old formula and is getting tired, not least because the people are so boring and when they do get someone interesting in, they boot them off!

Remember the days of Nasty Nick when the live feed and Internet site were temporary stopped while - horror! The housemates held a meeting to confront Nasty Nick and there might have been fisticuffs! It was even on the news!

Looking back now it all seems so innocent but that is the sort of impact Big Brother should be aiming at and, if they can't find an interesting mix of people then perhaps Big Brother is past its sale by date.

Once again I am right.

My wife loves the show and I find myself watching it sometimes. Hours of my life I will never get back. Of all the people who are interesting and witty in this country why on earth have these idiots been chosen. The makers of the show should hang their heads in shame, it is a wasted opportunity for what could be an interesting and amusing show.

Sorry, but i think it was a bad idea to start with. I really don't understand why so many people are so obsessed with it.

I think they made an interesting program. They apply psychology in an often cruel manner to manipulate those under their power. Big brother has total control of the program, and can, by showing us what it chooses to show us, manipulate our perception of the people we see.
Bit like God.
It is shown as an advert for democracy. Housemates voting for each others eviction, and the general public voting for the ones they want to remain in the house. The general public being manipulated by the editing of the program. Thus Big Brother really chooses it's own winner, by only showing the public, what it wants it to see.

 This is my point really. Like I said, I think the concept of the programme is excellent. i just think they have missed a glaring opportunity by trying to script it by putting people in the house who fill a particular characteristic yet have no character whatsoever. I could find dozens people from my facebook who would make for way better TV. Never mind if I had the pick of 100,000 across the country.
