Can't say I've ever actually sat and watched a full episode of Big Brother or Surviver etc..... only catch it if nothing else is on.
Doubleplusgood? (Big Brother 3.....)
With Big Brother 3 starting tonight I just wondered who else would be watching it for the next few weeks? What are your views on it, and other 'reality' type TV programmes?
Are they a good thing? Is there something inherently wrong with the viewing public being fascinated with voyeurism? Has the novelty now worn off now that our TV seems to be saturated with these shows?
Personally, I can't wait and plan to watch as much as possible of it as I've never watched one from the beginning before. But I've only had a passing interest in the likes of 'Survivor'.
Over to you.....

I've never watched one of these. Caught a bit of it tonight/last night, to see what all the hooha was about.
I saw someone cooking pasta, then some guy in bed reading a magazine.
And this passes for entertainment?

i liked big brother 2 ...who am i kidding i used to be up at 1 am wathcing these people sleep but after watching the entrance of the contestants of big bro 3..i can't for the life of me remember why...
i don't if its because its different people but now i totally get why so many didn't watch big brother...its tedious and boring

No i wont be watching any of it if i can avoid it. but no doubt i'll hear all about it for the summer. And then after it has finished aswell.
That Jade girl just REALLY gets on my nerves I really want her to be the first to go, im not sure why, but MMMMMMmmmmmm Spencer!! That Alex seems really sweet and Alison is really cool and so is Adele!
I thought that!! Who forgets their bras???

i think kates the best from what i've seen so far and i think all the women are jsut jealous of her. anyway whos the other blonde bird, she seems to me like a bit of an attntion seeker, don't like her. also theres a weird bloke dunno his name either but hes a bit stuck up.
Have to join the MMmmmm Kate brigade..that girl is mighty fine and I'd love to help her keep fit
I hope that the annoying bint from Aberdeen gets the boot first though. On first impressions I just can't be doing with her.
Think Sandy, Kate, Sunita and the Geordie bloke will be in it thye longest though and Spencer seems like this series' Bubble while I think there could definetley be romance this year as all the girls seem to have a thing for Alex for some reason
Anyway..back to E4

Ahh, yes, Big Brother time once more.
I myself an a self-confessed addict and just love the whole concept.
I was very VERY tempted to apply for this years but being a family man there are so many reasons as to why I _shouldnt_ do it.
Shame, as there are also many many reason why I would love the oppurtunity to do it.
If things were different...
A friend did suggest to me that I tried "just to see", dunno..
Anyway, I now face the next nine weeks obsessing about a group of complete strangers - great!
As for the best - they all seem pretty good fun although Jade does grate after a while - I just think she is overexcitable, bless her.
(Kate is rather yummy, yes)
And no-one has mentioned Alison, she is gonna be one big package of fun - like her...
But am I the only one who _doesnt_ care if any of them have sex - who cares? - Apparently The Sun think we do?! tut..

That'll be for the same reason why all the blokes have a thing for Kate

i'd be really intrested in the whole experience of being in there, in such close confinement with people you either love or hate. but when you watch it you see the what it does to people's lives. i mean this poor jade girl has nearly all the people who watch it against her, and the poor love is probably really nice, but hey she wanted to go on it so i spose shes gotta expect that. and hey, i've moaned about her myself hehe

don't think i could handle that though heh
as for the sex issue....i really don't give a flying banana heh, in fact i'd rather there wasn't sex...it'd be kinda degrading i think.

I'm joining the Alex fan-club...drool. He's a babe, bit skinny, but he'll do. Now onto a more pressing subject.... Jade...how annoying!!! Again I'm with the majority here, she seemed ok till she opened her 'sauff Lundon mauff' or where-ever she said she's from. I voted for her to go this week. I going with Jonny to win, and kate should be up there to with him, I s'pose, (grumble mumble, far too pretty) Quite like Alison, and that bodybuilder one forget her name, seems shady!! But I don't really watch it that much
I watched the bit where they all came into the house one by one - which I though was a bit weird - imagine being either the first, or the last - I'm not sure what the programmes psychologists were playing at with that one! I also wondered what was behind letting all the men in first.
I felt awkward and embarrassed for them - coming through that door one at a time to be faced by the entrants already there.
I felt really sorry for Jade getting locked in the Big Brother diary room!
I wont carry on watching it - I can't say as I liked any of the contestants, and I really think it's cheap media-hype no brain tv. (Just a personal opinion )

I caught a bit of this yesterday when they were showing some bloke in glasses in the pool and he was just wading up and down, up and down, up and down....... interested in the show - if this is what its all about then hell, no!!
What was the point in wasting viewing time on that??

Initial thoughts .....
Sandy seems like a very cool bloke.
Alex, Jonny and Spencer all seem fairly cool, though they haven't really shown themselves properly yet.
Alison seems cool.
Jade is very annoying, but she also seems to have quite a sweet side to her. I'd like to see how she develops but she'll probably be leaving this weekend!
Sunita I thought seemed pretty cool (and also very pretty!) to start with, but a few things she's done have made me slightly dislike her. We'll have to wait and see.
JP and Lee I'm not overly keen on.
Kate is obviously gorgeous. So far I haven't seen a lot else to her though.
Lynne could be very cool, or she could be very dull.
Adele I have no feelings for either way.
Other random thoughts:-
The house looks very cool, and the pool will provide many fun moments. It's going to be really evil when the housemates have to choose one person to leave the house after only a week. It's quite nice to hear lots of people saying "Alex is sexy!", it's about the only time I get to hear those words together in one sentence!
So .... this is my life for the next nine weeks ......

FIRST BIG BROTHER 3 CONTESTENT SCANDAL!!!!
Ok, the details are a little hazy coz i was half asleep when listening to the radio this morning but...
Sandy has a teenage daughter he knows nothing about! Apparently the girl felt "physically sick" when her mother told her.
I for one aren't entirely convinced about teh accuracy ofthis one, i mean, who turns round while their daughter is watching TV and says "by the way, that's your Dad." Its a bit tight on everyone involved.
Just as an aside - Sandy is 43?!? I missed that one, he doesn't look it does he?
And how funny was it last night with Alex announcing that he was gonna get off with Kate! Those two will be in for a while - it'll be Paul and Helen all over again (Only this time with intelligence and good looks - mieow!)
