Big Brother 3

Terminator

Right so, who's gonna be watching this round the clock on E4?

How many times I wished I had E4 last year - especially after the nominations. And now we have it on NTL. Yay!!!!!!!

Digital viewers supposedly will have it interactively - does this mean they can switch to different cameras? Lucky bastards.

The people u gotta feel sorry for are the ones with exams coming up. Lets face it, its gonna be hard to study when you've got the world cup on in the mornins and BB3 on E4 24:7

Rabies

i have digital and it is possible to flick through the different cameras...

but there is time delay between the broadcasting of the show, so during the day when the inhabitants of the house are swearing all you here is static.... damn censorship!!!!!

already on E4 they are doing a count down thingy to the show... 4 days left or something.....

phaxx

Ah jesus christ almighty, you are so incredibly sad, it's gone beyond amusing - get a life.

(And that should be particularly insulting from a geek who lives in his cave most of the time)

Dustaz

Last year they struggled to put together 30 mins of interesting footage every day, and you want to watch it live?

"OMG WOW, HES GOING INTO THE GARDEN!!! WAIT, HES COMING BACK!!!"

:rolleyes:

Terminator

Yes I know I'm sad and the novelty will probably wear off after a day or so. But its the nominations night that should be good - you get to see the housemates when they're all hyper and tanked up.

Panda

Ack, ill watch it if theres a fine bird or two in it, other than that, ack.
As for having it 24/7 on E4, well thats just for the birds.

Shouldnt this be in the tv/films board?

Shinji

Oh god, not this rubbish again. Idiotic, banal muck for people whose brains can't concentrate on anything more intelligent than a Sun headline, and whose lives are so pathetic that they need to peer into the lives of others for entertainment.

DrunkLeprachaun

You wanted E4 so you could watch it live last year? That's pretty sad alright. I'll probably end up watching the highlights anyway, TV is so **** and boring these days...

Lex_Diamonds

Bloody hell, back for a third installment of walking talking **** bricks.

How i'd love to change the show to include mortal dangers, that would spice things up.

"Dont go out to the garden between the hours of 17.00 & 19.00 snipers are about!"

"This is big brother, you have 30 seconds to find the gas masks hidden about the house, then Sarin gas shall begin to fill the house. Good luck all"

I disagree. I think its great viewing and far better than most factual documentaries / programmes on TV today.

- There's no script.
- There's no plot.
- Anything can happen.

What more do you want?

That's why I gave up on TV months ago. It's been a long, long time since I sat down with the intention of watching TV, and I don't miss it one bit. Teh Intarweb is all I need. (That and renting DVDs)

Drake, Lex, either of you seen Battle Royale?

Something with at least a little bit of clue in it. At least lets have something amusing. No? Okay, something informative. Oh.

Terminator

yes but a little nudity doesn't hurt either

Dave

I happen to enjoy Big Brother, I never saw the first one but the last one was fairly good. So I suppose i'm pathetic then with a brain the size of a pea. Err hang on... no.

Mills

I liked the first one, watched the last one but it wasn't half as interesting, I may or may not watch this one, depends whether the housemates are idiots or not.

Oh and for any Big Brother fans E4 are showing hours and hours of videos sent in by applicants who were rejected between around now and 6 am every night.

Shinji

Trust Dave agus Mills to ruin a perfectly good bloody troll. Mongs! :mad:

BuffyBot

Series 1 was boring

Series 2 was slightly entertaining (Narinder pissing everyone off and loving, Helen being a dizzy cow and Brian - well, was just Brian - but still ya had to laugh at the sheer madness/sadness of it all sometimes

Series 3, well jury is out until I see what the new houemates are like

True big brother is s h i t e, but if it wasn`t on what wud all da wee fags have to watch

koneko

Why can't Big Brother be more like Series 7: The Contender?
The Dutch one (saw parts of it) is more interesting alright. Lots of sleeping around, one gal even turned out to be a fella. I can't stand it though (especially the UK/Irish one).

Oh look. someone sitting down. Someone eating bread. Someone combing their hair. Bo-ring. I won't be watching. I'd rather watch football (and that's saying something). I'd also rather poke my eyes out with a rusty screwdriver. They can at least throw a rabid dog in there or something. Or a serial killer. Or a mutant. Like a guy with three arms.

Ooh Big Brother meets Battle Royale. That'd be sweet.

Terminator

I'd agree to the rabid dog thing on the condition that they supply each of the housemates with one tranquiliser dart

What else would make it more interesting?

Throw in Vanessa Feltz and Chris Eubank

koneko

Oooh yeah. And they can use the dart on either the dog, or one of the housemates

phaxx

Oh now we're getting somewhere, this, I'd watch!

Rabies

the other mainland european versions of big brother are supposed to be much better..... the english version isnt as 'wild'... well thats what the papers say (according to The Sun/The Star :rolleyes: )

Terminator

for extra fun, some of the darts could be filled with steroids

red_bairn

Big BRo 3 is really s***!not as good as da old one:o

Does anyone know if there are Irish numbers for us to vote this year ??

As long as it involves sitting in a house with the same people for weeks on end.
No wait theres more to it than that...At the end of the week someone leaves.

DeVore

Its like a car crash, you dont want to watch, you feel bad about watching but you just cant look away sometimes.

That said, yere man Brian the last time was funnier then much of the "comedy" on RTE these days.

Christ did ye see the cut o the muppets they have on it this year. And that rather large girl too, more like "Big Sister" methinks... :rolleyes:

Terminator

jade

Please god, somebody take her out of the house and shoot her. My eyes are running, my ears are bleeding. Take her away to some dark hole and fill it up.

[CALIBUR]

STFU!!


OH GOD PLZ!!!

Mills

LOL yes, from what I saw on friday night that annoying "jade" woman has to go, she went on and on and on and her voice is so annoying, and she had precisely NOTHING of any interest to say.

This is the first year I've really seen anything of Big Brother, so I can't really compare it to previous years. It appeals to a certain sense of voyeurism, or morbid curiosity to know (rather) intimate details about other people. It's like the point Dev made with the car crash - you don't want to watch but somehow feel compelled.

In this case however, I don't feel compelled to watch. I only watched it a short time, but I feel that most of the house are - put bluntly - weirdos. I watched quite a few of those 'Big Bro Hopefuls' a selection of videos of failed applicants to big brother. Some of them were genuinely interesting, but in a the same way that you would find someone acting like a retard in public interesting.

Even these moments are sporadic. For the most part we enjoy the sensational drama of someone washing a few dishes, going out to the garden etc. Everyone seems FAR too nice for this to be in any way interesting. We need a nasty nick equivalent.

Oh, and...
Jade. Please, for the sake of humanity, for the sake of our sanity. Shut the hell up.

Script and plot.

Winters

I saw some of it on Saturday night and it said

"... lack of sound is due to LEGAL reasons and will be back shortly ..."

Due to legal reasons? WTF is that suppose to mean.. they must have said Channel 4 was crap or somefin.

TacT

how mundane and crapper is t.v going to get with more of this tripe infecting it and our homes :rolleyes:

The word irritating doesn't do her justice.

My God, She looks nothing like that on the telly!

Kate is a fine thing though;)

Terminator

Methinks Spencer is a bit of a psycho. Always keepin to himself. Burning things.

When he asked Sunita if she "Wanna walk around the garden?" This was well after midnight - she did well to refuse his offer.

BuffyBot

Spencer is a very strange chap, but in fairness, Sunita isn't exactly the most personable in the world - so let the two of them keep each other company!

Mossy Monk

i watched some of it last night and only 1 person annoys me (pictured above). the guy who always sits on his own outside and drinks the whole time is capable of anything i think. i read in the paper today that they're going to split the house in 2 this week with one half getting good food and alcohol along with pool etc. while the other half will be living like tramps

Glitz

sum1 sud introduce spencer to SOAP!! badly needs it!

fizzy

yep i hear he even has athlete's foot and does nothing about it! i wouldn't want to be sharing that shower!

not as bad as jonny eating his toenails though....that was one of the most disgusting things on tv ever! :eek:

castie

all i can say is i h8 big brother it has once again ruined e4s programming lists and since i dont have c4 and work early nights during the week my tv watching has been cut in half
