Is anyone still watching Big Brother?

[persianlady]

I am not a big fan of Big Brother. I only started tuning in because I like Terry Christian. Call me old fashioned, but his prolific use of the f word has really put me off him. Why is it that so many people cannot have a conversation without every other word being the f word? That said, he does not annoy me as much as the big blonde scouser. God she is rough! And that accent! Is it for real? It should be a criminal offence to talk like that! It really really irritates me. Is there a petition I can sign to keep scousers of tv?lol

It's a (sad) fact of life that what used to be considered 'swearing' when I was in my teens and twenties, is no used as normal speech patterns.

Swearing per se does not offend or upset me, it;s simply ugly language - all obcenities are harsh because their evolution means that the ability to spit our syllables means they endure.

I do like TC - I interviewe him years ago and found him very likeable and bright - he saf from the 'thick northerner' that the papers like to call him - you don' win two consecutive Sony Radio Awards in your early twenties by being 'thick'.

Constant prolonged exposure to anyone brings out their faults and downsides - whether on TV, as we see them, or in the house - as they see each other - that is what makes the show watchable.

I understand about Tina - the Liverpudlian actress - it's one thing to say you are loud fat and speak your mind, but it's rather wearing to have it underlined every minute of every day.

The least 'performing' housemate was Lucy, and now she's gone.

I have never watched BB before, but have tuned in to this one now and again, what a motley crew!
Tina Malone is the most fouled mouthed person ever and rough with it,, The F word is used by other contestants as well but not to the extent of Tina! It is unnecessary but that is the only way some people can converse! At least LaToya Jackson remains polite {so far} And as for little Verne, do you think if he wins they will rename it "Wee Brother"

Andy.... a very interesting response to my question. Thank you. You are right about the swearing being ugly. I suppose the prolonged exposure to all these celebs provokes an adverse reaction from the audience as well as each other. You certainly do see them in a different light.

I have,and never will watch this rubbish show.
Why oh why Channel 4 keep plugging this cr*p show I will never know.
I once flicked through the channels one late night,and I happen to end up on Channel 4's BB.All I saw were people sleeping in bed,and nothing else was happening.
How can anyone call this entertainment I will never know.
I hope the Channel 4 bosses realise that when the viewer ratings get lower,they will hopefully stop making this awful rubbish show for good.
I keep well away from reality programmes.They are a waste of time and money.

I agree with you about the fat scouse woman, she is so intimidating

Terry Christian however is not exactly blessed with a plum in his mouth but he has a habit of annoying people such as his last celebrity show he did when he got "offered outside" by some American rapper and basically sh@t his pants on TV

After that he was on Talksport radio forever spouting how great Man Utd are and belittling every other football fan and cutting them off after he slagged them and their team off

I know this is probably a bit strong but judging by the look of his skin on BB he looks to me like he`s going to suffer some kind of smoking relating illness soon

Imo, you must have caught the live streaming. The earlier show gives "highlights" of the day's events - slightly more going on, but nowt to get excited about!
