Yep definatley, I am one of those sad people who will be glued to it!! And il spend my study leave watching it on E4 all day...Oh dear i really need a life!!

Until I go on holiday anyway when I will buy every british newspaper in France just to keep up...someone kill me, someone this sad does not deserve to live!!!!..

P.S Did anyone hear on the news this morning about that new video, Bumfight, where theyve paid homeless people in Las Vegas to fight and do stupid stunts??????

What does everyone think of that??

Personally i think its disgusting, its just not right to do that to people!! In my opinion the homeless people could find it difficult to refuse the money and stuff they are offered!

I'm just not interested. I never have been either. But then, I don't really watch tv anyway. In an average week I will probably watch Buffy and Futurama and fall asleep in front of Frasier

When I do watch tv, I want to be entertained and I find that either Sci Fi/Fantasy or comedy does that for me. I have no interest at all in 'reality' tv. If I want reality, I'll go down the pub

Is there something inherently wrong with the viewing public being fascinated with voyeurism?

---

I'm not sure if it's the voyeuristic qualities I object to or just the fact that people are so pathetically prepared to humiliate themselves in public just to get their fifteen minutes of fame. There was a trailer for one on BBC recently where they brought some Carole Smillie type person in to 'help' a recent divorcee who had to move to a house a third the size of her former home sort out her possessions. I couldn't believe they were making entertainment out of this sort of traumatic event , but even more I couldn't believe people would let themselves in for it.

What happened to dignity, British reserve and the stiff upper lip?

Can I just say....

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Kate and Jade

I never watched the first one, then saw the celeb one and got hooked, so watched the second!

It's a bit evil voting someone off almost straight away! The ones I'm not much keen on from first impressions are (and I'm useless with names): the guy who stripped in his video (think's he's God's gift), Sandy (weird), the over-the-top blonde woman (Jade?) and Sunita ("people love me or hate me... I get along with everyone" )

Pity the live stuff is on so late tonight - I'm too tired to stay up so may tape it...

Oh, and that model guy is rather gorgeous!

Kate seems nice, Jade is nice 'til she opens her mouth LOL Everyone seems OK so far. Think Spencer will have to leave tonight, he's too quiet. We're not all like that from Cambridge

Funny you should say that as he was the one I phoned in to have evicted. He just sat on the sofa while the others bounced off each other.

What are your views on it, and other 'reality' type TV programmes?

---

I don't seem to be able to *get into* big brother, the idea of people being in a house just doesn't appeal

However, I do like Survivor as there's a little bit of room to play the game and be crafty as well as learning to cope in a completely new environment. Sometimes the strongest ones are thrown off early, sometimes they are kept around to help out until later so they do the donkey work.

Personally I think they are really bad cheapo programmes, and the only reason they fo it is because they are unwilling/unable to make quality drama.

Theres nothing wrong with voyeurism I enjoyed Angus Deaton getting the the micheal taken out of him on Have I got news for you. But thats about my limit.

Jade was fine until she started talking...the others seemed OK though. i know what you mean abou Spencer...hes going to hve to get his act together if he's going to stay in the house I think !

Not too sure what I think of Sandy yet though...the whole 'kilt with trainers' thing might get on my nerves!!

Otherwise, a good show.

OOO...and I just realised that we have E4!!!! How slow am I ??????

Okay, as an addendum.....

Oi....Jade.......NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Gone off her big style now!!!

After a couple of hours viewing I've decided I like Jonny, PJ, Alison & Kate

Well, I've seen some tonight, and, oh god I wanna crawl into a cave for the next few weeks and avoid it all!

One was ok, two wound me up and the third is doing my head in already.

The only problem is, I can't be bothered to change the channel...

After turning on I still can't figure out who the heck is who!

After me and Sydney watched the first installment of Big Brother 3, there was a unanimous decision that Jade was a total blonde bimbo and sooooo has to leave! We really find her annoying. (Aside from Sydney: VOTE OUT JADE!) Kate seemed nice enough and Alison seemed quite likeable too. Think there may be some fun to have with the girls and Alex (who we both decided was much yummier without the hair).

Spencer did seem kind of quiet to begin with, but he soon joined in later. Probably a bit overwhelmed.

Who let Dr. Fox in the house?

I've not seen much, but so far I'd like Jade to be the first out and Kate to stay 'til the end

I've only seen a little bit of it on E4 this afternoon - I fell asleep before it started last night but I'd just like to say:
Lee - niiiiice. VERY pretty (though Vin is still my face)
Alex - humunuh humunuh humunuh *drool*
I had a quick look on the website and it turns out they're both at least a year younger than me I have issues with young men, but I'd shatter the rule for that pair any day!
I can't wait till we see either of them in the shower. Right now a few of them are testing out the swimming pool and those two aren't joining in
I'm screaming "strip!" at the TV... its possible that I need a life

So far in the online popularity vote:

1st Kate 81%
2nd Spencer 79%
3rd Alex 71%
4th Alison 69%
5th Jonny 66%
6th Sunita 64%
7th Sandy 62%
8th Adele 61%
9th PJ 54%
10th Lynne 54%
11th Lee 51%
12th Jade 20%

Oh dear. It's not looking good for poor Jade
