That's how you make it entertaining. If they all sat about having nice chats and getting on for 12 weeks it would be even more dull than it already is.

I don't think I need to state my opinion of it, other than surprise that it's back so soon after the celebrity version fiasco. I had kind of hoped that might have been the final nail in the coffin

I really fucking hope so. I have never seen Big Brother and I don't plan on doing so now.

Reality TV is an excuse for lazy fucking tv execs to make money without spending too much or coming up with insightful or decent programming the whole of television has suffered because of reality Tv. And the public are just as bad sitting there being spoon fed this diet of sh!te and loving every sing bite. It's fucking gossip and trash, "oh did you see what arsehole no.1 said/did to Arsheole no.2 last night" Who honestly gives a fuck about these braindead non-entities, I feel sorry for a society who can build up a celeb like Jade Goody just to crush her when she does something they don't agree with, You lot created the monster, you sick fucks.

Big Brother started years ago in Holland as a social experiment, It no longer has any value. It can't teach us anything.

Young people watch this crap and think that is a socially acceptable way to behave. No wonder the world is such a mess, I hope you are all proud of yourselves

It's pretty horrible about the one in Australia where the girl's dad has died and no one's told her. Apparently the dad wanted it to be so, but that doesn't mean she'll be happy about it when she comes out. She's gonna miss the funeral.

Either way it's a non-story.

She agreed beforehand that she wasn't to be informed.

Her family (inculding her father) agreed beforehand she wasn't to be informed.

But the public who don't know this girl or her family think she should be.

Yeah I can just imagine the conversation in that house... "Sit Down we've something to tell you, your Dad's dying of cancer"... "Aww for fuck sake I've been just been accepted for Big Brorther, Dad your such a selfish wanker"

and there are better ways to raise money

I agree but it does raise a question about the maorals or ethics of this particular family ??
