Do people like this actual brainless nonsense.

When it comes to reality TV, you can't beat the Osbournes

Can't imagine the Maels though

I bet virtual Ron and Russell get their new album finished and in the record stores sooner than our friends in California. Some of the Sparks tracks would make a cool soundtrack to run within the game, you could even have them interacting with charecters from the songs - Mickey Mouse, Modesty Baise, Sherlock Holmes and so forth. Hey the more I think about it the better it would get. Quin ought to set up a little part of the SparksOfficialWebsite so the fans can determine the lives of thevirtual Ron and Russ.

I really don't know Eric about big brother. I quit watching television about a mouth ago, and told the cable company to cut the damn cable off because I never watch it. If they start putting good program that dosen't insult my intelligence, I would reconsider hook it up again. Right now, I do a lot of reading and listen a lot talk shows on the short wave radio and also on the internet. I have better things to do
than watch T.V.

Personally I think this poll is as brainless as Big Brother is!
Anyone who's on here will say that BB is brainless because all people on here have a lot of interests and need no TV programme letting them see how people live together in a house in reality....

That is very true Janina.
I never understand those show like Survivor, Big Brother, or M.T.V house. If you get a bunch of stranger in one small room with T.V camas all around, and tell them to get along together like one happy family. To me, that will never work, and you will see a lot people killing each others for no reasoned at all. Then you have vote some those people off the show. Well that not very nice and you will not make any friends that way.

I loved CBB and wish it would come back. What`s not to love about watching celebrities argue and bicker over the shopping budget? George Galloway v Michael Barrymore, drunk Mini Me crashing into the door, Gary Busey making honking goose noises, people thinking David Gest had popped his clogs, brilliant entertainment.

I'm all with you Jude. I love Big Brother & CBB. I'm sad that it's gone from our screens because it could evolve again given the chance. I've watched every single episode from the beginning to end. I think it's been a very good learning tool for millions of viewers, especially the younger ones. It shows that how you behave has consequences. In today's modern thinking society we've wised up to inequality eventually. Racism, sexism & homophobic behaviour are rightly not acceptable anymore & if you are an idiot you will be thrown out of the house to deal with the outside world. Violence, control issues, unacceptable behaviour or just disobeying BB will also see you out the back door immediately.
I do think however that in the middle years there was a lot of voting manipulation to keep the bad ones in for entertainment that was letting the show down. I think that lost a lot of viewers but the last few series have been totally not about that and were very enjoyable.
You will hear the moans from usually those that can't stand being told how to behave appropriately for once in their life & really are quite happily being racist, sexist, homophobic & angry about everyone else but themselves. Thankfully I think they are a dying breed as much as there are even more haters out there these days....(I hope you 'guys' walking in a straight line out there know who I'm talking about. They usually start wars, will rape & pillage if given the opportunity & are not so good looking if you need another clue).....I'm not dissing all of them, it's just the ones that fit in those categories....usually...

Bryan, if you are still a member of this forum I really hope you've grown up at last now & have learnt how to spell & write properly. Your last post wasn't showing that unfortunately although I do know it was meant with all the best intentions.
I hope you've also learnt that it's actually not acceptable to 'Kill' another person for any reason either. Whether on telly, not on telly, anywhere...never...ever...ever!!! Peace & making friends are always much nicer & more fun than war & aggravation aren't they?
