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 must confess I'm quite into it this year, despite generally despising everyone on the show. They've pretty much all got raging entitlement issues ("I must be famous! It is my right!") apart from Carole, the older campaigner and Tracey, the late-30s rave casualty. Oh, and comedy Greek gay academic Gerry, who's now apparently the favourite.

At the risk of sounding like a bit of an old fart, the fucking kids on it are dreadful. The only way that people under the age of about 21-22ish are interesting is if they're extremely precocious, have had some traumatic and storied upbringing, or are nubile lovelies (and in the latter case, they become uninteresting as soon as they start talking). It's so much more involving when the people have actually had a bit of life experience.

If you can understand a word they are saying...(I need a dictionary for the twins!)
