BlueYoshi Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 [color=darkred]I personally despise the program; it's so trashy that one would think its selling point is sex and alcohol rather than it being a "unique" reality TV concept, and I find it extremely disturbing that my eight year old cousin is so interested in it that she never misses a program, considering its content. Despite the above, the thing I hate the most about it is how it completely dominates society and the channel it comes on (Channel 4 is the most entertaining channel in the UK if you don't have cable or satellite). It has so many spin-off shows that are all shown once a day, every day for the remainder of the summer -- it even took The Simpsons' slot on Friday nights. And then come Christmas, we get celebrity Big Brother. Yay.[/color].:animeangr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I think the show is pretty stupid. However, isn't it, you know, the responsibility of the parents complaining to attempt to stop their apparently extremely impressionable children from watching the show in the first place?

BlueYoshi Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 [color=darkred]Turkey slap? Is that it? In last year's Big Brother there was this big, fat, obnoxious girl called Kinga who got really drunk and shoved the neck of a bottle up her [spoiler]crack[/spoiler]... and the show still goes on. It really is a disgusting program and I have the upmost contempt for it.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first the people who went on it were not as violent or desperate for fame as they are now. I used to think it was Ok, I didn't really agree with the snobby people who thought it was 'trash tv'. But the people are really vile now and fake, I really hate it now and all types of reality tv that are similar to it.[FONT=Tahoma][FONT+Tahoma]xxx[/FONT][/FONT][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]xxx[/SIZE][/SIZE][COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]xxx[/COLOR][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the Australian version is even worse than the UK ones. Ok, my critics may not be parallel to the question but I have reasons why Big Brother should be banned FOR GOOD: 1. It is such a waste of MONEY for tv stations. :animeangr 2. Also a waste of TIME while watching it :sleep: 3. The contestants are such a big joke to the public. All they do are giving horrible influences to young, immature audiences. :animeangr It is a big deal to ME! Officially, Big Brother is quoted for "a show for stupid people". That's a BIG deal. I rest my case. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
