Big Brother being axed?

[spaced]

A little birdy tells me that there may be plans to axe big brother after this one??

[Mikeyd2]

Sounds good to me.
But I think it is that the 7 series contract with channel 4 is coming to an end after this one .

I'm sure it will clog up the airwaves again though.

ooh let's hope!! (that it is axed I mean)

[goldheart]

I hope not!

very entertaining!

Postdog - why do you answer questions with the word Big Brother in the title if you cant stand the programme - as you replied to a question of mine as well?

[Loosehead]

we live in hope!

[marwel7]

Yay.

[Postdog]

Goldheart, my answer is because I hate big brother and I hate people going on about it like it's brilliant. It's crap. Even in work I can't escape it, and it drives me fluffling nuts.

If you don't like my views, don't read my posts - isn't that what you all say when people criticise it? I don't watch it and I'd happily shut up but as I said, I can't escape people talking about it and my honest view is the quicker we never see it again, the better.

Postdog.Well said.It's TV for fat,lardar$ed crettins.The sooner it goes the better!

i couldnt really care less, however, the fact that this is it's 7th series and you cant get away from people talking about it, says something about its Popularity!!

[xmrs_harmanx]

its reality tv for a bit of fun relax for god sake! so what if its on theres 30 million other ppl hu lyk it and arent lardarsed so shut ya face

I think it should have been axed 4 years ago. I hope the rumours are true :o)

Best thing I've heard all day, the E4 coverage did it for me, people I know would sit up all night watching other people sleep. Madness.

[sheffwed39]

hope so. what a bag o shyte it is anyway. tried to watch it to see what the fuss is about but found myself turning over. whos that horrible oriental looking thing with the gob that only knows how to say one word."f*ck". looks like shes been given a reet good kicking and not healed up. foul tw@.
what a bloody freak show. and they allow kids to watch that. no wonder theyre all bloody daft.

moan, moan, moan, moan, moan! lucky there's plenty of other channel's for you to choose from!

[jon1968]

It�s a commercial programme so as long as it�s generating enough revenue for C4 from the advertising (which is dictated by viewing figures) as well as all the revenue from the �phone calls for the production company they won�t axe it.

It�s not my cup of tea but there must be a market for it or it wouldn�t still be here - if people enjoy it then carry on - each to their own!

Having said that will you all please stop watching it and �phone voting �.pretty please �.pretty please with cherries on top ���

Yipee..there is a god after all

[cat woman]

Thank goodness, "Hip, hip, hoorah!...............

[Pippa68]

I get a bit fed up with people saying 'just don't watch it ~ there are other channels'

For goodness sakes, if that was all I had to do to get away from the rubbish I would be happy. But no ~ you hear people talking about BB during their every waking moment, it's in the newspaper (several pages long, usually) and then when it ends we get an instant 'celebrity' or two clogging up the airwaves.

Mr Pippa is actually quite relieved when BB is on ~ it stops me buying magazines ;o)

[gemweeks]

it's true though. i seriously just dont understand how a t.v programme can wind so many people up! i mean i hate eastenders....so i just dont watch it then i dont have to spend all my time talking about how much i hate it and stereotyping the sort of people who do watch it. thats the only thing that annoys me, if everybody liked the same thing, then the world and everyone in it would be pretty boring!

[Pippa68]

The point is if it were just restricted to TV then it would be ok. I am perfectly able to make sure I don't switch C4 on at certain times.

The fact is, it doesn't help me. People talk about it in queues, on the bus, in the street, on AB in sections all over the place, etc etc etc.

Don't get me wrong, I am the same about the footie, cricket & wimbledon..heck, even the snooker! however, I can cope with those because they don't last as long and don't seem to raise the same passions. That I find very sad!

[gemweeks]

isn't it the same as a group of friends getting together and talking about the t.v series 'lost'? the only difference being, big brother is on every night, therefore people will have more to say about it. say 'lost' was on every night of the week, then im sure that's what would be the main topic of conversation at the bus stop etc. dont get me wrong, im not a huge fan of big brother, however, i don't dislike it either......i find it quite amusing and when i am watching it i actually find myself asking the question...why im i finding this interesting?...as i continue to watch it...ha! as im sure alot of people do!

But i wouldnt say big brother is more popular than the world cup!! noway!!! i hope i can have a little more faith in the British public than that!!
