    im sorry to post this because i know a lot of you detest this show ,with good reason . the thing is this has been the first time ive ever seen a full episode whether celebrity or not . seems like the organisers are slowly but surely out to cause friction amongst the contestants as the show goes along . no wonder the police have got involved a few times .its lousy ,is that what passes for entertainment nowadays ? does it have any fans here ?

    No, but 'Lakeside Darts World Darts Professional Darts Championships Darts' is a must, and if you missed it tonight, don't worry as it seems to be on for ever.

    in some ways im not surprised that there is a division with groups of people over the brand/ross affair . if you had watched this since the beginning ,around 2000 ? , you would be immune to the tv [ or radio ] antagonising people in the name of entertainment ,in fact mr brand got his break on big brother didnt he ?after watching the couple of episodes i video taped [ nothing to do with lucy pinder ,honest ! ] thats the conclusion i came to ,what with me being a complete newcomer to the show . or am i talking balls as usual

    i really thought last year would be the last celebrity big brother....i thought wrong!! i would rather watch a party political broadcast repeat from the '80s than waste eye movement watching a single minute of this!

    I wish The Sun would start its own TV channel and buy the rights to:



    Big Brother (and all variants thereof).

    Neighbours/Families/Children/Holidays 'From Hell'.

    All programmes glorifying chavscum by showing police chasing car thieves/arresting foul-mouthed drunks.

    *n* You Love to Hate



    This channel should be Pay-Per-View requiring a special box, thus freeing plenty of space for programmes people with a brain can watch.



    Thank you. I am now calm.

    The only time I watched some of Big Brother was a couple of years ago when Brigitte Neilsen was in it as I wanted to see what type of person she was in 'real life', and a very normal, friendly, and unnaffected girl she is too, in one task the girls had to leave an 'imprint' of their Breasts in something as I recall, my eyes almost popped out of their sockets when it was Brigitte's turn, plus she had quite a shock when her ex-mum in-law arrived, Jackie Stallone, but they hit it off well enough

    I'm a support worker and have occasionally, as an experiment, put Big Brother on to get some sort of reaction from the support user. After 2 or 3 minutes i'm hit with blank expressions of incredulity and comments like "what's this?" or "can i turn it over?".



    I guess this means either I too am mentally ill for not sharing an interest in this type of 'entertainment' or that the seemingly large number of people that watch this tripe are dangerously stupid beyond belief.



    Can we not just return to the days when writing/directing something of astonishing quality mattered more than profits/viewer ratings?

    the latest challenge is sleep deprivation for half the contestants . . that will get people on edge and at each others throats . i dont mind im a celebrity get me out of here ,dancing on ice etc etc but this just seems to be about causing a row by lighting a long fuse .
