    I accidentaly voted yes. I think it's great. However I'm usualy down in the arsehole of nowhere bored sh!tless when I'm watching it which might explain some part of why I like it.

    Well I have to admit being utterly addicted to the one with Helen, Brian and co. Since then then they have all been rubbish and I think the reason I liked the one I did was I happened to be home for some reason while it was on so I just watched it for lack of anything better to do and I got sucked in. Hasn't happened since tho.

    It's the bitggest load of crap that can be put on T.V. Pure waste of money if you ask me! I cant stand the bloody programm. God damn it anyhow all my T.V. viewing time will be severaly hampered thanks to my brother for the summer cause he is totaly addicted to it. He has threads somewhere here on the damn program. I think he even mods it not sure though! Damn fool!!!!!!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,068 ✭✭✭stagolee


    they should let them have a television in the house. being such sad boring **** they would undoubtedly watch some mindless "reality tv" crap.
    you would then have boring tossers watching other boring tossers on the t.v. who would be watching other boring tossers on the t.v.
    hopefully this would confuse some of them enough that they would forget to eat or breathe or something.

    (yes i hate big brother and everything about it)

    .....words can't describe how bad it is.... :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,334 ✭✭✭OfflerCrocGod


    Everyone who doesn't hate it is insane. Kill them.

    There is already an official "i hate BB" thread in the bb forum. Maybe have a look around before posting.

    Anyway, I would watch BB especially if there are any nice girls on it.

    But for anyone to say
    they should let them have a television in the house. being such sad boring **** they would undoubtedly watch some mindless "reality tv" crap.

    Is just plain ignorant. I could say that about soaps or about things like the OC or smallville, but I dont because I know that people have differant tastes it tv.

    You dont like BB, fine. But if you all hate it so much then why spend your time whining and bitching about it for the next couple of months. Just get over it and carry on with your life. Dont watch E4 during the many hours its on. Dont watch channel 4 when its on, but most of all just stop your whinging.

    Yes that is correct you asked for an opinion, but people came in calling people "sad boring ****" and complaining about how it takes up e4 all day and c4 at night is whinging.

    EDIT: just realised it was yourself who called people sad boring ****.

    No I'm not angry at all. Sorry if I came across like that. I couldnt think of any other way to put it.

    huh? i never asked anyone for their opinion
    and from my brief and painfully pointless experience of the dull monotony that is big brother i would conclude that yes the people on it are sad boring ****.
    admittedly its possible that they were only boring in the 20mins or so i was forced to watch them, but i find it unlikley, and im not willing to put myself through any more of this cack marketed as entertainment to find out.

    once again this is just in my point of view but then who elses point of view can i speak from


    EDIT: anyhow no point in an argument , you like it, i dislike it vehemently. im sorry if i offended you or implied you were boring but my original statement wasnt thought out in any detail i was just letting off steam


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,132 ✭✭✭Dinner


    Gah, sorry I thought you were the OP and I read your post wrong.

    Anyway, yup thats your opinion and it is undeniable that some people might be sad and boring. I'm not too sure you can judge an over 2 month long programme in 20 mins as monotonus. Fair enough its obviously not for you or most of the people in this thread.

    No offense at all. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,068 ✭✭✭stagolee


    is it actually on 24/7 for 2 months? or is it only broadcast fo 8 hours a day or something?
    i switched on to it for a minute at one stage a while after the time i watched it, and instead of seeing these folks lounging around doing nothing i saw a load of chickens standing around doing nothing. for just one delerious mad moment i thought "YES!! they,ve turned the buggers into poultry!" but then reality set in and i realized they had a chicken coop outside and i changed the channel

    (suppose i did get some entertainment out of it so :) )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,800 ✭✭✭voxpop


    i think ppl dislike it because its "ppl sitting on the sofa watching ppl sitting on the sofa..ect", generally if you like gossip or soaps you will like bb otherwise you will think its ****e- cus jack bauer isnt in it and its not about anyone lost ;)

    Honestly, get over it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,322 ✭✭✭Repli


    I can't stand it either - it is indeed very boring - especially because there's so much good tv to compare it to, 24, Scrubs, South Park, Lost, Seinfeld, Conan O'Brien, Jay Leno, I dunno there's about a million better things you can watch


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    I hate it.

    I don't know WHY people watch it with such enthusiasm, its totally lost on me.

    But

    Each to their own!

    I just love Big Brothers Little Brother!! - that could have something to do with Dermot though... mmm tasty!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 432 ✭✭Daelus


    I don't like Big Brother at all. Never have.
    I don't understand why people love it so much! I mean, surely there are better things to do with your time than watch a bunch of people living in a house together doing nothing particularly interesting.

    Oh well, I only watch E4 for 'Scrubs' and the occasional episode of 'Father Ted', anyway.

    the worst are those texts constantly scrolling by. 14 year old english airheads feel the need to say "rob roolz xxx" (rob is fictional) and when airhead 2 sees this she absolutely has to text in saying "no, rob's crap booo-urns". i feel like texting in: "this cost me 60p".

    and god forbid they talk about anything interesting. there's a big red button in the cameraman's office. its the "they've briefly stopped talking sh!te" button and it cuts the sound.

    it was just about bearable when it was on for half an hour a day in the first year but my god its like watching paint dry. what kind of fReAk wants to watch someone sleep with a night vision camera !?!?!?!?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭toiletduck


    im guilty of watching the first one but now i cant stand it or any other reality show for that matter

    I've asked myself the very same question. But obviously some BB haters do, one of them started up 2 anti BB threads there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,598 ✭✭✭ferdi


    i think BB is dangerous.

    i can actually feel my brain melt into mush when i see it.

    anyone who watches it on a regular basis should be sterilised.

    aside from its stupidity and sinister social implications, it actually just boils down to a very very poor quality piece of tv entertainment, appealing to the lowest common mental denominator.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,145 ✭✭✭DonkeyStyle \o/


    I've always thought it was boring shíte... then I watched season 3 and I really got into it... I haven't been able to get into any of the other ones though and have returned to my original deduction of it being a pile of crap.
    As for ex-bigbrother contestants trying to cash-in afterwards with this "ooh but I'm a celebrity now... gimme money and my own tv show" attitude... euurrgh.
    Clearly a bi-product of our pathetic celebrity-worship mindset.
