Big Brother: My Opinion

Most of you know what Big Brother is; a bunch of people stuffed in a house together for however many weeks. It first came to channel 4 on the 18th July 2000, and 7 years later the viewings are dropping, and I wonder why the show is still running.

I watched it once, during a 3 day road trip to Oxford, where one night my mum wanted to watch it in our small room, by chance it was a celebrity one, the day before the papers came out with all the “Jade is a racist” stuff, but that doesn’t matter, what mattered was how pointless it was.

Before writing this blog, I researched the show, and watched an episode, the sooner it gets cancelled the better. Did you know how many BB type shows are based on it? I’ll tell you:
-Original BB
-BB: On the Couch
-BB’s Little Brother
-BB’s Little Breakfast
-BB’s Big Brain
-Diary Room Uncut
-Nominations Uncut
-BB’s Big Mouth

7 shows plus the actual one? Bit far, don’t you think?

Recently BB has been criticised, not only for the racist abuse [I’m not saying any more on this subject, and feel I have a relevant enough reason why the viewings are dropping without needing to use this], but by the fans. Fans are losing interest after seeing the same thing over and over again, the housemates are different people, but has anyone else noticed how similar they are?

I guess it the show was real I wouldn’t mind. Have any of you seen the Truman Show? It stars Jim Carey as a man, whose whole life has been a reality TV show, but he doesn’t realise it, hence all of his reactions, if this was true, would be real. But with Big Brother, they all know they’re on TV, and they want to win, hence will usually act how they think people want them to act. Also, the whole setting of it; the recent BB had all women, before the let loose one guy, trying to cause fights. I was hoping something serious happened! To the extent that no one would ever want to watch BB again!

A few years ago, I did a project on BB at school, and we spent a lot of time of its website, receiving such announcements, classed as important, such as “Ingrid has left her bed, to go to the bathroom”. Since when was this important?

Sadly, I’ll have to shut up. Currently, it has reached the 8th series [excluding celebrity] and is booked to reach 11th at least, but at the rate it’s plummeting I’d say it was due to be removed. Except it won’t; Channel 4 are making £180 million, and with the shows they wish to produce, they need the money.

Contained within this blog are personal opinions, you may agree, you may disagree, and I’m open to accept any arguments against this blog, as long as it’s nothing along the lines of “BB ROCKS, YOU SUCK!”, which is what I received when I posted this blog on a school site, although I doubt anyone here is stupid enough to retort with that sort of comment.

Thanks For Reading.x
