I don't like Amma either though ! I'd just let them all stay there and turn the cameras off !

I agree with voting Paul out. Don't like Amma much either but I can't forgive Paul over the 'control' conversation the other night!

Is there any chance of those evicted being crucified? Nah, just crucify the lot of them...live. Make something out of that, Davina

Paul certainly didn`t do himself any favours with that outburst, but I actually think he is very insecure. Amma was definately getting the better of the argument, and he couldn`t find a way forward. Amma has some less than endearing habits, but on balance, I think Paul should go.(:o)

IG Index are offering a spread of 66-69% for Amma's share of the vote (no, really). I think that's a good sell...

I didn't understand a word of that Dan :)) but if that means you think Amma's gonna stay in then go for it....we've made about 50 paul out calls in the office so far today and it'll be a couple of hundred by the end of the day...Brians for my chopper next....

No, no a thousand times no. Even if it meant I could never make another posting (waits while cheering subsides), I will not chicken out and watch even a second of Big Brother.

Gav - it means the bookies think she'll get between 66% and 69% of the vote. If she does go I reckon it'll be a lot closer than that.

Dan, I'd better get phoning more if i've gotta bring her share down!! :))

Bobby, come on you can tell us......how long have you been watching it for?

My better half loves it, so when I see her I get the Friday night eviction special. However, she recognises that the protagonists are egotistical arsewipes, and also hates the losers who wait around the exit with their placards. But I harangue her since it's that interest that allows that crap on the telly.You know that asian lass from Killingworth? Did you see the size of her husband's nose? He must be able to sniff the flowers in China!
Now, if they made the voting off into a gladitorial battle...eviction night would be a whole more interesting :-) Gan an, mate, cut his head off!

The problem with Big Brother is that whilst it degrades the contestants, it doesn't quite do it enough. These people can come out of that house and get careers in the media. I think that a new game show needs to be developed that really shows what dickheads these people are and demonstrates how low they will go to get publicity. I propose a new game show called "I'll Shot that Dog". The proposed format is roughly similar to "Name That Tune" but instead of naming a tune the contestants have to bid to shoot a dog (or some other cuddly creature). The bidding will start at say £100,000 and whoever will do it for the lowest wins provided they actually shoot t

I fail to see why some of you get so hot under the collar about it. It`s a television programme for Pete`s sake! Nobody is forced to do it - and nobody is forced to watch it. I assume it would come under the heading `light entertainment`, and IMHO that`s exactly what it is. (:o)

I wouldn't light anything too near to Amma if I were you....
-- Anonymous, July 06, 2001
As Amma hasn't had her tits out yet, despite being a lap dancer, I think she should go. I only watch it for the posibility of seeing some live sex sceans, Paul and Helen seem the most likely to get together so I'd like Paul to stay.

Gal - personally I object to it because it's featured on the news, newspapers and online with annoying regularity. I don't mind others watching it...providing it's behind closed doors and in their own homes :-) Big Brother is what cable tv was invented for i.e. crud that stays off the mainstream channels :-)I also object to the rejects being greeted like heroes and foistered upon a mostly unwilling public - specifically, I hear that the asian Geordie girl is going to host a chat show too. And her qualifications are??? Mind, if I start that line of thought half of tv broadcasting would be impalled on a spike. Zoe Ball watch out y'freaky squashed head woman!

Sorry Bobby, but I still don`t see it.I don`t see that it is being `foist` on the public. The viewer ratings must be good, or else they would drop it like a hot potatoe, or at least not have gone for a second series.
As for blanket coverage in the newspapers, well again, it`s a matter of what paper you read. Not much coverage in the Telegraph, though there has been some, I don`t recall seeing it splashed across the front page. I watch the news on BBC One and Two, and can`t remember it being mentioned on there. Nor does Radio Four focus their attention in that direction.
Online, I can`t say. Don`t look at the Big Brother website. It was mentioned on the UK Shih-Tzu site when the producers were intending putting twelve week old puppies in the house, but apart from that there have been two threads on here about it.
I think it is purely, as I said `light entertainment`, and of very little consequence. I agree that some sections of the media do go over the top, and that the tabloids do the same - but you could apply the same arguement to hundreds of other non-events too.
At least you seem to have mellowed since your last posting on the subject.........something along the lines of `it says more about the people who watch the programme than the programme itself`....or something along those lines! (:o)

Light entertainment Gal ?Light-in-the-head entertainment. :-))

Gal, I still think it does say a lot about the people who watch it, especially those who get really into it. I'm not making a specific point about anyone on here or whatever, just a general observation. IMO I think is what I need to put here :-)If Big Borer is a ratings hit to me it says that society is bored with creativity. Voyeurism is becoming an acceptable part of modern life; being watched and recorded 24/7. To some extent the genie is out (i.e. mass media and the technology to carry it) but I fail to see the entertainment of a constant observation of a group of people with borderline personality disorders.
Now that Bog Bruiser has become a 'national event' more television and entertainment boundaries must be crossed - not for quality purposes, just advertising and ratings. It was only this close (think of me making a small pinching gesture) for a US company to broadcast Timothy McVeigh's execution online. They may well have called it the people seeing justice carried out, but most surfers would have viewed it as entertainment. I know there's a big difference between the two, but "IMO" the fact that every single part of the human condition can be processed, observed, disected and broadcast for consumption is very sad indeed. Next year the show will try to show the 'contestants' on the bog.
We have access to the greatest and most revolutionary technology the world has seen since the printing press. And we use it to watch losers have a tantrum.
BTW - nothing personal, Gal. Perhaps I should say "more about the scoiety that watches..." :-)

Have you noticed that it's survival of the blandest on Big Brother - keeping the strong characters like Narinder, Bubble and Amma would have made much better telly. Same thing happened last year..

What the ell are you lot on about in general 'GET PAUL OOT!' etc. As you can see I'm very angry, infact I'm completely pissed that I'm going to switch on the bold and not bother to switch it offAMMA FARTS - under no circumstances should women fart like a 25 stone beer monster (A women cant be shagable if she farts - fact), she eats bacon raw, she has to have a contradictary opinion on everything to which she has also comtradicted herself numerous times. I'll stop there.........
Anyway if Paul or Amma goes, it doesnt matter one bit. BUBBLE WAS DONE!

Bobby, I don`t disagree with you in a lot of what you are saying. There is some pretty grim stuff beinging televised already in the UK, and much worse in the States and elsewhere. I have to hope that our broadcasting guidelines will not get too lax. I think we do have some pretty close scrutiny going on with various `watchdogs`, and I suspect that the British public are not slow to voice their opinions and objections.I can`t see Big Brother being allowed to push the envelope any further, and I actually think it would lose viewers if it did. To me it fits more into the Miss World type of programme, with contestants who are volunteering, not being caught by hidden cameras without their knowledge.
Do you disagree with all `fly on the wall` type programmes? Life of Grime, for instance, or the RSPCA Inspectors one. I only ask, not as a challenge, but because they to me are more intrusive as they are showing people at their weakest and in very degrading circumstances. By the same token, they serve a useful purpose, hopefully, by being thought provoking and, with a bit of luck, by engendering some compassion towards and understanding of the people involved. So I feel that there are times when being able to delve and broadcast MOST aspects of the human condition can have a positive effect.
The real scarey programmes to me are the Springer type ones, or the excruciating Montel Williams, or Oprah ones with overweight children pleading for help on TV, or rebellious kids being degraded in front of an audience. They make me sick to my stomach. Exploitation at its worst because of the fake veneer of compassion and a complete and utter lack of understanding. Many of the adult programmes are almost as bad, and, of course, the only boundaries left to cross there are public floggings or executions.
Compared to these programmes, Big Brother is more like people watching in an airport, or being fascinated by a conversation at the next table in a restaurant. I obviously just don`t see this particular programme as being quite as `thin end of the wedge` as you do.
BTW, I`m pleased to hear that it was `nothing personal` - otherwise I might have taken offence! (;o)

For the next US version of BB, I've heard they will no longer allow the audience to vote off house members because all the 'lively' ones got voted off early last year and made the show dead boring.I couldn't get into BB over here. Now Survivor..... :-)

Glad that Paul stayed he was a bit of a lad, his argument about Anna Kornawatsername being top totty could not be disputed.I would vote for that annoying drama queen, Brian, to be voted out. The Brummie blerk is possibly the best adjusted.

The three women in a tub scenes were essential viewing for any respectible perv (QED)on E4 but apart from that it is pretty lame. I am happy to see Amma go because I think Paul is starting to lose sight of his game plan and the plot.
