BB5 or Watch Paint DRY! Which will you be watching?

irishgeo

Read this in the paper today. UK Style are doing a 24/7 internet broadcast of paint drying.

http://www.uktvstyle.co.uk/WhatsOn/WatchingPaintDry.cfm

I think it would be better than Big Brother 5.

UK Style are claiming its the next big reality show.

Mossy Monk

brilliant but seeing as i have no internet at my current address i'll probably watch something else

Zoton

Oooh some hot dulux and crown paint action, raar!:D

flogen

fair play to them for doing it, probably at some cost as well (webstreaming etc), but its quite good to see a station make a comment on the state of television (If only they'd do something about it, like put good shows on :P), saying that, they do have some decent stuff on.... how will they get it to last so long?? I can see a huge plot twist on the way, like its the wrong shade for the room or something

They should have a vote for the best paint.

The season finale sees the wall being demolished.

I'll watch the first episode just to see if there's any hot bitches in it. No doubt, there won't be...

They've drafted in a couple of lesbians to boost the ratings.

Big Brother 5 set for 'Stripper and lesbian couple'
A lesbian couple and a stripper are believed to be among the 12 Big Brother 5 contestants.

The People reveals what it predicts is the final line-up for the new series starting on Friday.

The housemates will be pushed to the limit by punishments involving manure and cream, it is reported.

A 40-year-old married stripper called Suzie, from London, a 19-year-old bisexual called Emma from Manchester and a lesbian couple from the South East - Katherine, 24, and Lianda, 25, are expected to be in the final 12, the People claims.

A source told the paper: "You'll either love or hate them over the next 10 weeks but one thing is for sure - you'll certainly not forget them."

The first episode of BB 5 is going out after the last episode of Friends on 28 May

Hmmmm can I change my vote?

Mike.

I Thought Brian Dowling was effiminate but he's positively butch compared to Marco . At least he'll be a laugh and the housmates so far look like having personalaties unlike last years bunch.

PAINT PAINT PAINT
Sorry about that, but I'm only after watching the big bro intro -never again. They have the gayest man alive, an emigrant guy who seems dead on but wont get a word in, a muscle bound pretty boy who shows up in a thong, a butch gay with a massive ego, a ****ing student twat who got as!!!! Like OMG and a black "bad boy" to make up the numbers and make sure they’re not racist. Then the women, a blond ditsy girl, some council estate tramp and an anti-capitalist lesbian, needless to say I turned off at this point.

I have defended big brother in the past but no more, never have I seen such a house of twats. omg I want to burn my eyes for watching

Exit

As well as another dumb Geordie, the obligatory posh girl and a woman who used to be a man.

/me feels so dirty, i managed to leave (not early enough) but i was always hoping for a friendly person the sort you could be mates with but all i found were trend whore posh twats.

My oh my he's camp. I mean I've met fellows like him but this guy's voice is a bit squeaky. Apparently they're trying to make it gayer to fit in with a new trend. weemcd - who is this butch gay with a massive ego? I've seen none fitting that description.

Pepe LeFrits

roffle @ marco.

ahmed looks like hes going to jihad someones ass at any moment, while most of the other blokes just look like they are going to **** eachothers asses at any moment.

vanessa is pretty hot when tarted up tho...

weemcd

did you see the guy with the michael jackson thriller hat on, he was very very tall and he went on in his tape about how straight guys love him aswell as women, **** wit tbh

irishgeo

He has to be the gayest man alive, or else he is playing to the camera's.

No nice women either but Sky news active did say the spainish women had breasts which defy gravity but havent seen her yet.

I assumed you meant him but I can't see how anyone would describe him as "butch" Big Brother has gone very Queer Eye this year, hasn't it. It'll probably still end up being dull...

weemcd

well tbh he described himself as butch, he's bert reynoldys compared to marco

SantaHoe

Apparently this year is going to be really cruel to the housemates.
Heard Davina going on about how there'll be a challenge tomorrow and whoever loses, doesn't get their luggage
Hope it's the smart-arse dressed like a chip n' dale, so he has to spend up to 10 weeks like that.
That'd teach him.

I agree with a lot of the gripes though, it's like they're being too PC - always packing in the token minority group housemates.
Still, has to be better than last year... which I knew was going to be crap the minute I saw them
Why can't they get more nice looking women in?
At least then when it gets boring you've something pretty to look at

Mmmm. Being a people-watcher, I'm fascinated by both the phenomenon (when it was a phenomenon) and the people who watch it, though I've zero interest in the show.

I Like the concept fro the show but ths success of it depends on how interesting the housmates are. Last year they were as dull as ditch water and the show flopped and had very little if any entertainment value.

Its too early to say how entertaining this years lot are but there does appear to be the material in the house for conflict and humour and if that developes the show will be just as entertaining as it was the year Brian Dowling won it which IMO was the most entertaining BB.

Anyway dull or not herself is addicted to it so I,m stuck watching it for the next 10 weeks, Thank God for Laptops and Boards.

The best Big brother was the first , id rather watch paint dry than watch the other .

How is this show being PC? I'm sure Channel 4 simply broke down the demograpics of their viewership (esp who watch BB in particular) and chose the housemates appropriately in order to represent those viewers.

After all I didn't see any Old/Irish/Indian/Asian people going into that house on Friday. Or do minotiy groups fitting that description no longer live in Britian?

He's Bert Sesame St compared to Marco.

Because they'd get raped by Marco.

Because that's what all Muslims do!!

And that's what all gay men do, they only have to be in a room with another man and they're fúcking like rabbits!! Don't be buying into the clichés.

I think that's the biggest problem with it this year, they've just put in a group of clichés. "The Queeny Gay", "The Butch Gay that hates Queens", "The Transexual", "The Student Tosser", "The Beefcake Hetero" (although I'd have me doubts about his straigtness!!), "The Butch Lesbian", "The Council Estate Bike", "The Badass Homie", "The Refugee", etc., etc..

If I belonged to any of those minorities I'd be up in arms, not exactly great representatives for their groups.

I think the other problem is that they haven't put anybody in that the general public can relate to. Extremes tend to get along with each other. I personally think it would've been more interesting to have mixed it up with a few extremes and a few more boy/girl next door types, that way you'd be guaranteed to get more friction and therefore more entertaining!

That other gay guy, whose not Marco, is far far far from being butch. He's really quite a queen in his own way. I don't know what sort of self delusion he's under to label himself as butch...
As part of the minority group, I must say I rolled my eyes to heaven at these two, particularly screaming mincing Marco. I'm guessing a more regular gay man might be just boring but it still grates just a little to constantly see things like this...Also Marco just irritates the hell out of me.

Let it be known to ye lot who watch that god awful excuse at entertainment , humanity will be extinct by 2020 thanks to ye!

It was a "good" idea I spose when the first one came out and it had the whole novelty factor, now it is nothing more than rehashed same old same old. The sheer volume of reality tv shows on tv is brutal, although they are great for the producers by the looks of things. No real actors wages and people will love it.
