Channel 4 - Big Brother

So lets get you up to speed… In a nutshell the Channel 4 show ‘Big Brother’ takes a group of twelve strangers and places them together in a house for ten weeks. The house is full of cameras allowing us (by us I mean the general public, not you and me specifically – but if you want to come round to mine that’s fine, I’ve got Doritos) to watch their every move. Each week the housemates nominate their two least favourite fame hungry wannabes and then we vote off least appealing nominee. At the end of ten weeks of drinking, shouting and ‘no sex please we’re British’ the winner gets a big cash ... more

What A Bunch Of F**king Wa**ers………. Ok so I am sad, I watch Big Brother but I have to admit I only do it to make myself look normal. It's a show that has been won by some right twats, like Cameron who only said "It's not funny and it's not clever". Or Nadia, the chick with the dick !!

It is a bright cold day in August, and the clocks are striking thirteen…I am writing this message from a small computer that I have managed to hide from the authorities, and the ever-present gaze of 'big brother' in a small room at the back of my house, disguised by a false wall, made of cardboard boxes, salvaged from the nearby supermarket, which is in turn hidden by a thin skin of peeling wallpaper, in order to make the deception quite convincing. I feel that if they find my device I will be sent for reprogramming, to the notorious room 101, where all fears are realised, and indulged, and ... more

SYNOPSIS: Concept and name from George Orwell's '1984'. 12 contestants locked in a house for 10 weeks under a series of rules. Each housemate nominates 2 people for eviction each week, and the housemates with the most nominations will be put up to the public vote for the week's grand eviction. But you knew that already, right? THE HOUSE As usual, the house looks familiar but not quite the same. Big Brother have gone one step further this year, by reducing the size of the house and designing it in a colour scheme and layout that is supposed to 'raise tensions' amongst the housemates, as part of ... more

Well here we are - 12 weeks and seemingly thousands of housemates later we are reaching the end of what has been the longest Big Brother yet. Does longer mean better? Unfortunately, for me, in this case I believe the answer would be a resounding no. For those of you who aren't aware of the concept Big Brother started as a social experiment reality TV show, where a number of people from various walks of life were thrown together and we, the viewer, could watch what happened. Since Big Brother started way back in 2000 the concept has grown into perhaps the biggest reality TV show there is going ... more
