Big Brother

[emmelinemay]

I used to love big brother, as you probably know, and over the years it got SO dreadful that i just couldn't watch anymore. Last series was the last straw - it had become an endurance exercise rather than an entertainment. It got to the point where I wasn't watching at all - merely catching up via the big brother LJ community I was on.

It was a great community, we had drama, rows, in depth discussions, stalkers, trolls, meet ups, visits to the eviction, and I know several of the people on my flist would not be here without it. Indirectly, it's how I met Mr Peacock!

But when I reached the point of I FUCKING HATE THIS SHOW IF ONE MORE PERSON MENTIONS J*DE G**DY I WILL COMMIT MURDER, I decided time was time, and I left the community.

I'm not watching this series. I'm quite glad, it sounds HORRENDOUS. All women? My idea of a total nightmare.

But I've had more than 4 people, only one of whom I know in real life, separately tell me that 'the community isn't the same without you' and 'we miss you'.

On the scale of internet sadness, this is right up there, isn't it? I'm an internet saddo. LJ people miss me in an LJ community about Big Brother.

I don't watch Big Brother for many reasons-I only know about the eviction of Emily since it was on our local news (she lives not too far from us).

There are some who probably think that J and I are sad to have met online (this was certainly true 11 years ago).

I think meeting your partner online will become more common in the future than meeting in real life in the not too distant future. It's fast becoming the norm now!
