Every year they have the same mix of people:- The gay guy, the angry lesbian, the token ethnic, the guy who 'comes out' live on TV, the clever one, the thick one, the quiet one and the loud one. These people are acting, they are not being themselves. They are soooo conscience of the cameras. Everyday they think up new ways to try and shock people watching and make themselves famous. They are convinced that they are amazing and have something to offer the world - it's so cringe-worthy. And they get really really thick people like that god-awful Jade girl. People like her and her family are the cancer of English society, CHAV I believe the word is. It's nothing to do with what she said to Shilpa it's just who she is, and how she was brought up, that makes her evil. It's so fake that I find it hilarious that people are so gripped by it. What you are seeing is FAKE !!!! The 'experts' behind the scenes think they pull the strings but it seems to me they have no idea about psychology at all. If you want to see "WEAK" people sitting around doing nothing but talk CRAP all day then this is the show for you. I find the idea of watching these awful people sleeping really quite strange. Why do they show us these twats asleep? Actually maybe that's better than watching them sit on a sofa and try to get reactions out of fellow housemates and the public. I was hoping and praying, hoping and praying that it would be taken off TV. But God didn't answer my prayers. Maybe there is no God????

There may be no god but there are other t.v channels

TV is useless. Music is much better. If BB was on the BBC I would not even pay my license. Very true though ......... 100 channels and never anything worth watching. Except The History Channel

Most of them are, I agree apart from channel 4 when bb on hahaha. was thinking about it myself this year, maybe next year

I WOULD BE A PERFECT CONTESTANT and I live for the day I can abuse these people and tell them 'how it is' for the whole nation to hear. Why do they never get people like me on BB?? A bit like when 'nasty nick' was doing his stuff - I would have abused the lot of them for being so dramatic and taking things out of proportion and context. Everyday I'd annoy people by holding a mirror in front of them and explain to them how fake their lives are. They get so dramatic about things. This country is quite strange sometimes - we love drama (e.g. Diana - would everyone have cried if the media wasn't so over-the-top and influential?)

well maybe you should apply, would be fun to watch! maybe see you there next year I agree most of the people are totally fake and looking for a bit of fame and fortune but it just makes it all the better because they can't keep the act up all the way through and thats when all the back stabbing bitchiness starts. Class!!

It was really funny last year- the american version was an all-star cast, so they had previous winners in there too. There was a group of two guys who completely played the whole cast, and was telling the cameras their schemes. They knew exactly how to win, and would be like "tonight, I'm going to sleep with this girl, and Mike will sleep with this girl, and that will form an alliance..." It was amazing, because every tactic worked and no one expected it- they were just seen as being goofy guys having fun. And the one guy did end up winning. It was so funny! Maybe I will watch this year...

I watched the first BB, because apart from the lesbian nun, they were all pretty normal people.

Ever since then, its just been collections of freaks and oddballs, and C4 have tinkered with the format too much.

Well from looking at the voting so far, it's quite an obvious love it/hate it divide.
I saw the programme with Russell Brand last night, which looked back over all the series (I think 7, not the celeb ones), and it was interesting to see how much it has changed from the original.
And in that first series the housemates were much more 'natural', and BB was unique and innovative.

Why dos Russell Brand need to shock to try and be funny??? If you are not funny, then don't bother. Shock tactics hide lack of talent.
