IS THIS THE BEST CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER TO DATE?


View Larger Map

I have not watched television in ages...bar x-factor which was a permanent Saturday night fixture in my life. When it finished many said it felt as if something was missing. I can happily say I feel whole again. The only niggle I have with the celebrity version is that it never lasts for long enough. Surely the celebs could survive a month? A mere two weeks allows celebrities to put on a facade. If we left them to stew for double the time some cracking skeletons might emerge from their expensive closets!

I think this year it is particularly good because not only have we not had it for a year but they actually have some big names. Ulrika, Coolio...and a Jackson! I look forward to it every night and it gives me routine. I get in, I have tea and do work until CBB comes on! Oh it is a simple life for country bumpkins like myself!

How much of a surprise was Ulrika's eviction...?!I missed it but I used to consider Shooting Star lady a bit of a joke....the whole four fathers and four kids scenario. Anyhow, I think it is quite refreshing considering that the usual winners are always the ones who are nothing like normal people. Transsexual Nadia, the guy with tourettes.

Dwarf Verne seemed to fit the Big B viewers' criteria perfectly. Ulrika, despite being the winner, was not spared the degrading boos the audience bizarrely feel each and every contestant deserve.It would not have been the same without them (the boos!). It makes me wonder whether these so called Big Brother fanatics travel all the way to London just to boo the people they love to hate? when I got offered some free big brother final tickets I rejected them immediately. Why would I want to expose my eardrums to a torrent of deafening jeers at a few pre madonnas I really couldn't care anymore for than maybe sitting half asleep on the couch because the only other TV option is the GRAND PRIX!
