Stop supporting this awful concept that is Big Brother. have none of you a shred of sophistication?
It is possibly more humiliating to watch it than it is to partake in it, merely because you must have to admit that when you could have done something towards getting it abolished you didn't, you all sat there saying "I think the fat lesbian with the cleft palate should be evicted this week because her bum is bigger than the other air heads in there."
Aaargh, Why Lord have you forsaken us. the normal decent people of the world and allowed this garbage to infiltrate our senses?

are you called topogigo because of the little mouse? I loved it when he was on the royal variety show.

[topogigo]

Ah, you saw past my disguise, yes my name is based on Topogigio (spelled differently), That dozey puppet mouse.
i can't remember why i picked it, little bit of nostalgia. People always say i have spelled it wrong, but if you google it there are many examples of it written as i do.

Why do you care topigigo?

Avoid anything relating to BB on TV and on here and your blood pressure should return to normal.

I fail to see why anyone else liking it has anything to do with you or why it bothers you so much that they do.

[crisgal]

i thought you might be italian but realised you couldn't be as it was spelled wrong!

If Big Brother is such an offensive concept to you, there is a very easy way to deal with it. When you are viewing channel 4 and the programme comes on, there is a thing called a power button on your TV set. If you push this button, Big Brother will miraculously disappear from your screen. Magic!!

you cant avoid it yourself thats a post today and a post lastnight x

[topogigo]

Don't get me wrong i do feel pity for the people that have got themselves embroiled in it all, and i pray that there is some sort of therapy available for them soon.
You see to put a group of low profile people into the public eye, who are chosen specifically because they are hopelessly inept at coping with a normal social structure. Then treat them and use them like laboratory rats, i find it all sickening.
The way that the producers allow and encourage the crowd to jeer and insult the victims as they are released is just so awful.
They create artificially stressful environments for the victims to endure just so people can watch them argue, cry and generally get traumatized by it all. This is cruel. Someone elses misery is often turned into a spectator sport, merely to raise money for Bazalgette etc.
These are not just my opinions they are facts and If anyone disagrees with this they are only trying to disguise there embarrassment for watching it.

[topogigo]

Poohshunny, i don't watch it, i haven't watched it for years. That doesn't mean that i can't complain about it.
I don't have to witness domestic violence to know it is wrong.

[Bbbananas]

if it offends thine senses & you can't stand to hear about it - why the hell do you click on to a 'reality tv' link? What do you expect? The title's of the posts tend to give it away.

[topogigo]

I had to have my say, am i excluded from posting on this thread merely because i don't like reality TV? Mainly Big Brother.
Remember Big Brother was an entity in Orwell's 1984 that was anything but pleasant, they seem to have got that right.

[Bbbananas]

you are quite correct topogigo.
why I watch this drivel every series I cannot fathom - but the fact is I do, & the fact is, I find it very addictive. Anyway, you've got people debating the BB debates -
(Could you be guilty yourself of 'doing a Rex' ??!!!)

[redcrx]

youll be safe in the USA topo, they dont have such stuff there :)

[topogigo]

There you are salla...
It is awful, it is addictive, one day there will be some god awful event tied to BB and everyone will turn their backs on it, hopefully.
There is so much exploitation in it, of the victims and the viewers.

[Iamblue]

Hasn't it finished yet?

[topogigo]

Yes they do red, BB has been franchised to loads of countries.

[mccfluff]

they def do an american bb

[Bbbananas]

actually toto, I think you;re right - one of these series there will be a suicide (either in the show or after an eviction), or real violence. A tragedy just waiting to happen.

(sorry - topo, not toto - that's another character altogether...)

[4getmenot]

i dont really like radio section so I just dont post on it

[topogigo]

And your point is 4get?

[andy-hughes]

Judging by your response to the 'Christian Bale' question in Chatterbank, I am surprised you know what 'sophistication' is!

Oh of course, you were just being 'ironic' and i am an idiot for not being sophisticated enough to understand.

Normal? Decent? Hmmmm ....
