Big Brother 3 is starting on Friday and I'm really looking forward to it. The thing is I don't know why.

Can someone explain the attraction of this programme?

Blimey Donut. No I can't explain it. Go have a drink and a lie down, maybe you'll feel better later. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font color=skyblue> I also ashamed to admit that i too have no idea what the fuss is about BIG BROTHER? :(
Please xplain the lure behind it!

I don´t follow Big Brother and I´m proud to, ye hear! P R O U D!!!! ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

BIG BROTHER II is on at the moment in OZ - in fact the daily episode comes on in 15 mins. Ooooh, what fun, what joy - what a great opportunity to watch the footy channel instead :D

<font color="silver">Big Brother has attraction ?? Ok, there is one way to break out of such an attraction- get a better internet connection... it got me out of watching shows that I didnt like anyway [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

"Big Brother", "Survivor", and their ilk are one reason why I no longer watch TV, and only use the Internet and listen to radio.

Jeez, I thought you were talking about the system monitoring tool for
UNIX systems, hehe guess I should not assume technical subjects [img]smile.gif[/img] took me half the posts before I realized you were talking about television.

But...but...Saz...you are denying yourself the pleasure of some really good informative things too...unless you don't have cable...in which case...to quote Roseanne RoseannaDanna "never mind".

Agreed. But in Australia we have a few more reasons such as Home and Away, Neighbours, Temptation Island etc. [img]graemlins/1puke.gif[/img]

I feel that watching reality tv has become an obsession to those people who do not have a life of their own.

LOL - funny you should mention "Home and Away" Aviendha - I remember getting sent for a fortnight to Surinam (top of Sth America) about 8 years ago - turned on the TV in the hotel room, and walked straight into an episode of "Home and Away" - in Dutch ;) . Even over there I couldn't escape from it.

Big Brother is fun coz it's originally dutch [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font color=skyblue> Actually me like neighbours some times... it's not too bad.
You should see Eastender :D
The script is always:

man1 :"Oi! leave my mate alone. E ain done nothink."
man 2: "Oi! U leave it out will ya? U starting?"
man 1: " yeah? c'mon an! "
female voice " oh cut it out Phil! He ain worth it mate."

</font>

Yeah? Name them. [img]smile.gif[/img]

(I do have cable, BTW...I'm still not impressed...unless "Judge Judy", "Survivor II", "Jenny Jones", "Jerry Springer", and reruns of "Full House" are considered informative. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] )

-Saz

in holland they took that crap to the next level. We now have big brother, big diet, expedition robinson, the bus, the bar starmaker, big brother-the battle, when will this end ? Donut, you actually wanna watch this ? Maybe you should go see a doctor about this. lol

Yeah? Name them. [img]smile.gif[/img]

-Saz</font>[/QUOTE]The History Channel, The Discovery Channel, Turner Classic Movies, The Learning Channel, Wings, TechTv, Fox News (I just threw that in to tweak the liberals)....and there are a few shows that are entertaining without being educational too, NYPD Blue, The Practice and ER aren't too bad really....and they are on at times when Im winidng down for the day.

Maybe for the same reason as why you come and post here ? :D

Ah, I miss Bianca though - her strident cry of 'Oi Rickyyyyyy' was enough to start every dog in the neighbourhood howling....

Various other eastenderisms:
'yoooo caaaoooowww' (trans: you cow).
'Oi, leave it bruv'
'Oi, vats my bruvva your talkin to'
'Aooow cooould yooooo, yooo caaoooowww'
'oooh Nick, ow cood yoo do vat to yer own muvva'

I hate that bloody soap.
