Well this year I’ve tried as much as possible to avoid Big Brother. Ch 10 has made it harder by screening it so much more, having had about 7 hours on Monday nights until the uncut show was axed. Isn’t that ironic.
I was watching A Current Affair last night so I could avoid the BB 7pm show, before heading off to sports, and they had a story on the BB sex scandal. Over the weekend, early Sunday morning, two of the guys cohurst Camilla, so that she would get into the bed with them. One of the guys held her while the other guy Turkey Slapped her. They had one of the guys dads on ACA saying that he didn’t think his son had done anything wrong. Both the guys were evicted for the act of sexual harassment. They say it was done as a joke, and whether or not you agree with that is irrelevant. The fact is that they breached the guidelines set out by BB, and they were harassing her. It doesn’t matter if she appeared to allow it to happen.
ACA then went on to show that BB itself had breached it’s own guidelines by asking Camilla to kiss every other housemate on the face or lips within an hour. In reality the whole concept of Big Brother is setup to try and get the housemates to ‘sleep’ with each other. In an attempt to get ratings. They must be making a fortune from all the SMS’s and Calls to vote people in and out of the house. The more people they have up for eviction, the more possible calls and SMS will come through.
I wonder now if they will send some replacement housemates in to the zoo. It wouldn’t be the first time either. There is no way that I’d ever go onto Big Brother, even if you paid me a millions dollars. I think that the first thing that would eliminate you from the selection process is to say that you are a Christian.
When will the Australian public realise that reality TV is not reality and it is just a whole bunch of crap designed to boost the ratings and make money. After this BB is over they will then go on with Australian Idol and the American Idol. Meanwhile Ch 7 has the It Takes Two, which isn’t much different to the Dancing with the Stars. None of which are original Australian concepts.
The only good one was “Thank God You’re Here”. That was an original Australian concept which has been sold overseas. That certainly was a funny show, but I guess the level of humour on the show is determined by the comedians that they have as the guinea pigs.
There has been some dicussion on the Big Brother issues at Gush

Drew,
I find it odd that you have to watch another channel to avoid Big Brother. Doesn't your TV have an "off" button?
Why don't you just read a book?
Well really the reason is when i'm having dinner. In front of the TV, it's easier than in front of the computer. so the SBS sport is much more worthwhile than Big Brother.
agree with you. BB is complete shite and anyone who watches it should be removed from the gene pool.
It amazes me how anyone could call watching a bunch of intellectually challenged morons prance about with barely any clothes on entertaining is beyond me.
If these people are out to see some boobs just get on the net and search for it.
Its a helluva lot easier.
