Big Brother Celebrity Hijack

...as I see it with Big Brother, a dying concept which had well and truly run it's course, but it was making tons of cash so they couldn't just let it die………………….hence a new look a little injection of something different. Problem is that it isn't really that different, it's still old hat trying to be new shoes, and in most cases so predictable. I get the impression they didn't want to change it too much for fear of total rejection, but I fear we are ...
...Having a celeb act as Big Brother was a nice little twist, and to be fair did add a little to the general scenario, but it has all become so dull and lame. Talented though some of the contestants may be they do not come across as anything special and the whole thing is just more of the same. Some of the tasks were to say the least unusual, but none were performed with any real commitment, whilst the endless minutes and hours of watching well nothing ...

Review of Big Brother Celebrity Hijack

...New Year ratings with Celebrity Big Brother. Last year however, this all blew up in their faces when Jade Goody became a figure of hate over some comments that were made to a fellow housemate. Channel 4 were rumoured to be scrapping this seasonal Big Brother, but no, they are back with this much hyped replacement. Channel 4 and Endemol promised a new format to try and win back the droves of viewers who abandoned them. I work for Virgin Media who ...
...coming in their respective fields. Big Brother as we know it was getting a twist as celebrities were replacing the traditional Big Brother, obviously with the plan being that they create as much mayhem as possible. It all makes for good entertainment....doesn't it? I sat down on launch night last Thursday with flavour of the month Dermot O Leary (no Davina in sight), and for the first time in Big Brother history I did not even make it to the end ...

Review of Big Brother Celebrity Hijack

I really enjoyed Big Brother celebrity hijack just as i love watching all big brother shows!!! I am disappointed at how much bad publicity it seemed to get especially when there are people like Jade Goody slating the show after one of the reasons its been doing so badly is because of her being racist! but then again she'd do anything to sell a story and make a little extra cash Big brother made her then again it ruined her too but oh well shouldn't ...
...on the show was when Matt Lucas was hi jacking and he gave John his task I could not stop laughing the whole way through. Every episode had funny parts in and some serious matters too. I believe that hijack was really good because it was created so that people could show their talent to the world!! If people can slate the show for that then it's wrong because its no different to what the X factor does every year! I cannot choose a favourite house ...

Review of Big Brother Celebrity Hijack

Big Brother first aired on channel 4 in 2000 and I remember there was a big hype about strangers moving into a funky house having no contact with the outside world until it was eviction time. These strangers, also known as housemates, have to live, shower, sleep, eat and carry out tasks together and once a week they have to nominate who they want to put forward for public vote and give reasons why. The housemates with the highest number of nominations ...
...Housemates are acknowledged individually by Big Brother only in the diary room 4, It is compulsory to visit the diary room 5, Nominations are compulsory 6, All housemates must give honest reasons for there nominations 7, Housemates are not permitted to discuss nominations or influence another housemates decision 8, Housemates are not permitted to discuss how they would spend the prize money if there were to win 9, The eviction is decided by ...

Review of Big Brother Celebrity Hijack

To be honest, i find Big brother very tedious, however, to my surprise i actually enjoyed this series. The shortened version (it lasted only 3 weeks) meant i did not have to waste time which could have been spent more productively, and i didn't miss all the good bits! Also, the contestants were deserving of the fame and niceties that came with being on Big Brother. Some were there to try and boost their careers, showing how ambitious they really ...
...I didn't know why Big Brother only allowed 18-21 year olds in, but many are drawn to the 'young and beautiful'. There were a range of contestants such as Emilia, the circus performer and Jeremy, the racing car driver which meant we, as the viewer, are quite interested in their career, as well as their personalities. Although, i must say, there were quite a few boring bits- especially the live feed, where the sound was rubbish! Sometimes, there would ...

Review of Big Brother Celebrity Hijack

When the first series of Big Brother was shown all those years ago I thought it was quite a good idea, even though it did not really interest me I still found myself watching bits of it here and there. It was something that hadn't been done before and allowed people to see how a house full of strangers would cope being isolated from the outside world. I don't really watch much, but from what I have seen it seems that generally channel 4 do their ...
...know will argue and create "good TV". Each year I always watch the first couple of programs and the odd eviction just to keep up with what's going on so at least I know what people are talking about, however I have found that it gets worse everytime, and less people seem to be talking about it (at least the people I know are getting bored with it). The problem is that it has now been done for too long, and I my opinion the Celebrity Hijack version ...

Review of Big Brother Celebrity Hijack

I really enjoyed this series. I thought that it was an ingenious idea using people who had actually achieved something in their lives instead of people who hadn't and used the show as a vehicle for fame. However, saying this I recently saw a programme about the lives after the show for the contestants and realised they had simply used the show for the same thing. What happened to a programme that was a social experiment to see how people from different ...
...matter who they are, has simply turned the programme into a way of becoming a celebrity. We have enough socialites like Paris Hilton already.. If however your aren't too bothered about what the contestants ultimately get out of the experience then it sure is fun to watch. And having real celebrities tell them what to do was pure class and highly comical entertainment.. why was it only on e4 though? ...

Review of Big Brother Celebrity Hijack

When the programme started it seemed interesting and was good for a few days, until it started to loose sound while being broadcasted live, which made the programme become boring and tiring, since this problem was not successfully sorted out till the end of the programme. Although the celebrities tried, the programme lacked adequate exictment, from the housemates, about the celebrities. This lack of exictment maybe attributed to the fact that the ...
...program would have been much more better if the sound quality had been better and the housemates had been given better opportunities to showcase their talents. Given the rate at which the programme was publicised and the way with which the first live episode was broadcasted, one would have expected a great show which would be the eye catching and addictive, but the overall the impression given was that the celebrities were a last minute input instead ...

Review of Big Brother Celebrity Hijack

Having not watched big brother all the way through since the 3rd series, I thought that this would be a little bit different and decided to watch out of interest. Although the contestants were a little bit boring, the twist of putting a variety of celebrities in charge was ingenious. I must admit, watching some of the tasks the housemates had to do was cringeworthy.... although highly amusing!! My favouite celebrities in charge were probably Matt ...
...lack a certain sense of Big Brotherness that we are all used to, and quite simply ruined it a bit for me. However the ever charismatic Dermot was on hand to keep us amused. I liked the format of the show, and think this is something that maybe should be continued for future series, although there are a number of people I know who would rather never see the series again. Maybe with more interesting contestants and consistently high profile stars, ...

Review of Big Brother Celebrity Hijack

...voice that is known as big brother. The reason this one was called big brother celebrity hijack, was because celebrities took over the role of big brother and gave out instructions to the people in the house. The one i watched involved matt lucas as the voice of big brother that was the only one i watched. He told a scottish man via an ear piece to say stupid things to all the new contestants and behave like an idiot, at least he was able to explain ...
...going on the next celebrity big brother. Even the celebrity ones are not real celebrities, Jade Goody's Mother how come she's classed as a celebrity?, because she gave birth to someone who won big brother and is now classed as a celebrity,and now i have been made aware that jade goody didn't even win big brother but came 4th. ...

Review of Big Brother Celebrity Hijack

It would seem to me that BB has found a formula which is even more ridiculous than any of the ones it has come up with so far, you still get to watch a bunch of total fruit loops (none of whom in anyway represent 'normal' members of the British public) try thier damdest to make a career out of humiliating themselves on TV (not to forget the inevitabley cringe worthy magazine interviews that follow) But this time you get to watch a bunch of celebs trying to be BB himself. Bar Matt Lucas who actually caused me to giggle (albeit briefly) on the first night the celebs were a total wash out can anyone even remeber who the other Celebs were? or who won? or even the name of a single person who particiapated as a contestant? No? You must be (like me) with the vast majority of the population that actually have a life then! ...

Review of Big Brother Celebrity Hijack

When i was watching this program i found it fairly interesting how the producers managed to find very interesting and tallented people to live together and have to do tasks for celebrities. the celebrities were a good selection at first but the they ran out of ideas and had to bring in people from a linked show to control the house this made me feel that there was not a lot going on making the show fairly boring. ...
