Advantages: Nightly Entertainment, Can Be Good At Times Disadvantages: Ran Out of Ideas, Repetitive
Everyone has an opinion on BigBrother, regardless of whether you watch it or not. For some, it's entertaining. For others, it's pointless TV, watched by idiots, which is taking up time and money which could be used on other shows.
~~~ What's it About ? ~~~
Basically, a group of everyday people are put into a house which is completely covered by televsion cameras and microphones. The show then runs for a number of weeks (10+).
The contestants participate in daily tasks which they must complete in order to gain a reward. They also get a main task which covers a few days, which depending on their performance, either earns them a food budget to buy what they like from the shopping list or earns them rice and other basic food.
The contestants also nominate each other to decide who faces eviction. The public then vote for who ...
Advantages: Very interesting to watch, great show and surrounding things... Disadvantages: ...but maybe on a little too much and too addictive!

Advantages: Great if you're a fan of Big Brother Disadvantages: Rubbish if you hate Big Brother

BigBrother's Little Brother, is basically a magazine/fanzine TV Show all about Channel4's BigBrother. The show used to be presented by the lovely Dermot O'Leary, but for the series currently on at the moment is presented by (the rather random) duo: Zezi Ifore and George Lamb. It is on TV virtually everyday, but it's popularity has dwindled somewhat along with the popularity of BigBrother. When Dermot was on the show it was on 6pm on Channel 4, but nowadays it has been relegated to E4, currently on at 6pm also.
When they show starts, there is usually some sort of 'news section' about what ...
