    Curiosity got the better of me so I had a look in t’internet to see who the “celebs” were. FFS, it makes the line up of “Dancing On Ice” look like Angelina Jolie, Clint Eastwood and The Pope.

    Why do so many people worship these strange orange folk whose aim in life is to be on Hollyoaks and to get spit roasted by Tranmere Rovers’ midfield?

    So i take it the reports that Charlie Sheen was going to be in it were wrong?

    Dunno why people worship them, but the (celebs) would have to go out and get a real job if the were not on the telly.

    Because they get paid for doing nothing, and can then flaunt their wealth to all the people who aspire to be wealthy. Those aspirations are then based on nothing more than the idea that you can have all the plasma TV screens you like, and you don’t need to actually do anything to earn them.

    Surprising really that this hasn’t had any wider impact. Oh, wait….

    Even in his current state of depression, confusion and chemically induced haze, I think he could see that it wouldn’t be a good idea.

    What amazes me more is the amount of people who get irate about it.

    You’d have to have spent the last ten years in a coma not to know that BB is going to be full of shallow, annoying wannabe celebs so why bother tuning into it? Especially if what youre then going to do is start slagging it off?

    On my Facebook account last night I had 9 different updates from my ‘friends’ talking of how annoying BB is!

    For the record I also hate it. But I learnt that fact pretty early and as such don’t continue to punish myself by watching it.

    you’ve answered your own question – you know it’s crap but you just thought you’d try it , that’s what people do and how they get sucked into what will happen next. it might be nasty but its clever.

    Hold your water there fella! 😯

    I didn’t try it. I looked at a news website to see if there was anybody of interest on it.

    People are fascinating. We enjoy being able to see people with their guard down. Even though I despise the idea of it, I know from past experience that if I turn it on and watch for a few minutes, I’ll be interested.

    although channel 5 have somehow taken a disturbingly crass idea and painted it liberally with greasy turds..

    I mean, I’m not saying that the channel 4 version was classy or that previous contestants have been known for their towering intellect.. but the producers must have just gotten hold of a massive pile of cash and a few mercinaries and sent them out with the brief to find
    The most vacuous dregs of humanity in the public eye right now’

    It’s going to be ace.. 🙂

    Rubbish. Fascinating people are fascinating, most people are offensively dull.

    All I’m concerned about is that it may well push CSI episodes off Five. 🙁

    Don’t care really. When Wimbledon or the Golf’s on, I just watch or do something else. No point moaning about it; it’s like having a strop cos the supermarket sells stuff you don’t like and won’t buy, innit?

    They should burn some tires outside the house and playback the sound of riots and gunfire then cut the power, food, water and communications. Their reaction to that over a few weeks would be worth watching.

    BB used to annoy me a little because I like the repeats of old Frasier on channel 4 in the morning before work and through the summer the whole channel was taken over by BB.
    Now it’s on 5, meh. I just won’t watch it.

    Tara Reid used to be hot.

    I never watch BB or similar.

    I used to subscribe to X Factor but will not be tuning in to this year’s series.

    I would like to know why Coleen Nolan (above) is so popular. She’s on tv and on the cover of almost all “women’s magazines.” She seems to have carved out a career as a social commentator. WTF.

    She was in a girl band in the 70s and has been on Loose Women. She was also the face of Iceland supermarkets. What a CV.

    It is also possible, apparently, to trace any manga/anime female character back to one of the Nolan sisters. Today’s random trivia.

    I liked BB when they would fuel them with unlimited amounts of alcohol – then watch them scratch each others eyes out!

    its truly garbage and most are mealy t.v personalities

    that paddy guy fair play but for god sake he was in a documentary!

    and a model – thats just a job! 🙄

    I saw bits of it because MrsH had it on last night to see who was going in (she doesn’t actually watch it thank god – just likes to chuckle at the “celebrities”)

    [/excuse mode]

    Was Tara Reid completely off her face? Or is she always like that?

    get spit roasted by Tranmere Rovers’ midfield?

    You leave the mighty Tranmere Rovers out of this, the biggest team on Merseyside, they have far more class (I think and hope).

    That could be interesting if they were playing a 3-5-2 that week.
