Title: Big Brother Big?
Post by: videoholic on July 11, 2002, 11:32:27 AM
Is Big Brother a big time show overseas?

Here it\'s kind of a joke, but it seems like the Euros love the show.

Anyway it just started season 3 here last night.  They obviosuly have learned a lot in casting from the first 2 shows.  

They have a chick with big hooters on there.  And I mean big.  They have a couple other chicks that look to be a horny I say...  It\'s on Wed, Thurs, and Saturday on CBS if you ahven\'t cought it.

Let me preface something before you watch.  Be prepared for your IQ to drop at least 30 points while watching.

I agree, when these reality shows just turn into shows where everyone is trying to get laid on Nationwide tv then this just brings down the quality of them.  

Let\'s not also forget about the Bachleorete shows where the guys only purpose is to score with 50 chic\'s at a time.  They\'re not looking for marriage.  Dog Eat Dog is another example of sex as a way of bringing in viewers.  Strip Golf?  It just annoys me when the only way the geniuses at Massive Broadcast stations can come up with ratings is to use sex, sure it\'s fun to watch but they can come up with better ways.

Did you see the strip football toss?  All three chicks were good looking.  One was a "Massage Therapist," one was a GoGo Dancer.  

The one who stripped didn\'t say her job, but she took her clothes off no problem even though she had no chance of actually winning that challenge.

Well there not going to have fat trailer trash chics on there for sure.  Again, just a way to bring in viewers and what good is it anyways? It\'s not like your actually getting to see anything.

I\'m going to stray away from popular opinion, but I liked season 2(the only one I watched) and so far I think this season is alright.  I have no idea why I like the show, because I don\'t care for all the other reality shows, but I do like this one.

I liked season 2 also.  And I\'d be lying to you if I told you I didn\'t have season 3 TiVoed...  


That Josh guy is hugely annoying though.  I really wish they would have dumped him.

Big Brother, Survivor etc. etc. All those reality shows are gay. And not in the funny way.

Big Brother is MASSIVE down here.. every time a new series starts.  At 7pm every weeknight (sometimes they have the adult only thing later on at night.. and once a week an eviction show) the whole country stops to watch.

Except me.

I.

Masturbate over old Batman comics.

Big Brother is pretty massive in Australia. Both series were extremely popular.

How could you say that you can\'t wait till it\'s over?  If you don\'t like it then just don\'t watch.  I don\'t think they have the power yet to turn your channel.

Perhaps he\'s sick and tired of hearing about it in the news/papers/commercials.

Video, thats just the thing. They make the show into such a big thing that you hear about it from other sources, you don\'t even need to watch the show!!!

Like, in the second series in AUS, Turkan wanted to leave the house after three intruders came into the house, it was made into such a big deal about this whole Turkan saga that is actually made it onto the late night news as to whether or not Big Brother would allow her to leave (she stayed).

Its just ridiculous. You don\'t even have to watch the show to be swamped by it (magazines, hype etc).

That\'s amazing.  Here in the states if you didn\'t want to watch it you would never even know it was on.

Here the crappy networks sure know how to hype their shit. :evil:

Actually it\'s not a big deal anymore, but when BB just aired there was a lot of hype surrounding it. *yawn* I say.
