Anyone see Big Brother on Ch4 last night? Ended up with them spending about 50% of their weekly cash on booze and tabs and forgetting to buy bog roll. They've decided in to use their hands until they get more supplies (Sunday). Apparently chopping a towel into 10 bits and washing afterwards was too disgusting for words.
Also most of them got naked, covered themselves in clay and made imprints of themselves on the wall. That was after 2 days - imagine what sort of ravenous beings they'll be after 64 days?
You can see them on the web cam - here
Very amusing nights viewing of the thick and stupid wannabees.

I switched off after 30 mins. Anyone that would volunteer for the scheme has to be seriously self-important arse. The only one I've marginally thought was ok is the lad from Northern Ireland. I'll not be wasting my viewing time on that again!

Honestly would think it a better TV experience if CH4 occasionally terrorised them with random beatings, gas attacks, poisoned food etc. If you got through that for 64 days it'd be #70k well earned.

I'd start the torture with that dim blonde and her "crystals", then move onto the scouser, and then the black girl (who has the annoying habit of answering her own questions).

Bobby you switched off after half an hour? So you missed the Lesbian woman covorting in the shower that that lovely black girl? Mind you I would get rid of the Lesbian Nun first as I want to see the 31 year old Irish lad lose his virginity to that lovely black girl.

'I'm a scouser so, like, I'll be really entertaining'

How interesting Bobby, I took an instant dislike to Mystic Smeg as well. Can't abide dimwits who think being gullible and stupid is the same thing as being 'deep and spiritual'.

Clearly from the same stable as Janine, David St Hubbins' girlfriend in Spinal Tap. "I've done the horoscope for the band..."

I can't say that I did Screacher....am I to understand that whilst you viewed your hesge as something that needed a good trim, she was trying to weave it into a greenwitch? ;-)

The word was 'hedge'...before anyone comes up with something anatomically improbable and downright disgusting...

getting back to the origional posting. I registered to become an official voyear today, giving me access to the bathroom cam and the bedroom cams, but I haven't been able to see them yet as the web cams on the site don't seem to work for me. Day 5 and I'm hooked.

There's a version of Big Brother on in the States as well. Apparently it's bombing in the ratings. I only saw bits of the first show(well it was on...I wasn't paying that much attention). Too boring, too contrived. Have to admit I am semi-hooked on Real World, Road Rules and Survivor. Also ridiculously contrived..but they do at least have "adventures" and some interesting scenery.
