A "man pole"???

Kidding.

stepfordwife · 31/05/2007 10:02

..carol to win..
..tracey to score..

yep, reckon they'll evict girlies in little air-headed clusters of 2 or 3 and replace with men..
loved lesley's look of despair as one wannabee model/TV presenter/WAG after another teetered in..
only one i really warmed to was nicky

Backtobasics · 31/05/2007 10:48

Do you think they will put more than one man in??

bananabump · 31/05/2007 10:54

I think it'll be one man a week, every friday.

UnquietDad · 31/05/2007 10:57

I'm not watching it - haven't watched one since no. 5 - but I've had a look at the contestant biogs on the website. At least they have had the courage to put a couple of people in with a bit of life experience this time.

Why do they bother with airhead 18-year-old students and the like? Who the hell wants to watch their "crises"?

Backtobasics · 31/05/2007 11:00

Those twins are gonna annoy me!

Mog · 31/05/2007 11:06

Haven't read the thread, but unquietdad do you remember the first Big Brother. Most of those in had more than one brain cell so the conversations would often be interesting. I think it really went downhill when they put in people who have nothing to say. And talk for ages about it.

MrsJetson · 31/05/2007 11:18

Haven't read the thread as I have to go - BUT just looked at the picture of Tracey. mmmmmmm are we sure?

ktmoomoo · 31/05/2007 11:34

not impressed that no guys in yet but should be enertaining, thought last years was crap- i hardly watched it

UnquietDad · 31/05/2007 11:39

Yes I remember the first BB. It seems almost naive now. They had no idea if anyone was watching and so they weren't hopeless media wannabes hoping to launch a career. There was no interactive stuff either - most people still only used the Internet at work, and on dial-up.

The other interesting thing is that I was about 30 then and so were the contestants - it felt as if I was the target audience. Since then, the average age of the contestants has got about 7 years younger and I've got 7 years older, so it now feels as if both the contestants and viewers are of a totally different generation from me.

Backtobasics · 31/05/2007 11:39

I gave up with last years when they kept putting new people in the house. I think they should just stick to the original housemates and only replace if someone walks. I think last years bb ended up with about 22 housemates in the end! Ridiculas!

ellceeell · 31/05/2007 12:08

I watched the first big brother - and I would love them to repeat it! I think the contestants had no idea about how they appeared, unlike this lot that are so aware of the cameras, know what has happened in the past etc, etc
Mind you, the first series they were allowed books and musical instruments so it was probably a lot more boring than I remember!

UnquietDad · 31/05/2007 12:57

Books! yes. The last lot they had wouldn't have known what a book was if it bit them on the arse.

UnquietDad · 31/05/2007 13:49

"As for the 2007 housemates, expectations for their intelligence were diminished when the preview of the residence revealed helpful signs on the furniture including the word "eat" printed on the table and "dry" above the hot-air machines in the bathroom.
The inclusion of one long bed for several occupants carries such obvious instructions that even reality TV wannabes don't need them printed on the wall."

Mark Lawson in the Grauniad, brilliant as ever!

I wonder what's to stop the twins impersonating one anotner? If they say "would Sam come to the diary room" will Amanda come instead? And will BB notice? Maybe that's too clever and funny for them to think of.

Backtobasics · 31/05/2007 17:15

I do agree that the majoroty of contestants that enter the house are mainly wannabes/weirdos but i get the vibe from people i talk to that just because they are younger like in their early 20s, they are automaticly gonna be air heads/stupid? I do hope the 'older generation' doesn't think this of the younger generation?

UnquietDad · 31/05/2007 18:01

I don't think people automatically think that the younger contestants will be airheads, but very few of them in the past have done anything to dispel that prejudice.

It would be nice to have a spread of ages and backgrounds and experience. Every year there are far too many wannabe models, presenters, and vacuous party girls who have never had a proper job and live off daddy.

When did you last see a good political debate in the BB house, or a conversation about books or theatre, or a discussion about films which doesn't involve the likes of Lindsey Lohan and Ben Affleck? They all sit round talking about R'n'B music and celebs in Heat magazine. It seems to be all they know about.

bananabump · 31/05/2007 20:54

Thought you weren't watching it, UnquietDad?

lilolilmanchester · 31/05/2007 23:25

anyone know why Lesley's gone in there? I'm sure she said tonight she'd not seen much of it before so didn't know much about it....promised myself I wouldn't watch it but getting hooked again already. Tho not for much longer if they don't stop screaming.....

nally · 31/05/2007 23:43

it all seems so annoying already. not sure i will bother this year. they are all the same person, apart from the old bird, the wacky bird and the welsh bird with the big bazoongas!!

where is love muscle russell?

bananabump · 31/05/2007 23:53

Lesley seems an attention seeking bore, doing that fake crying, and then looking round to see if anyone's interested. Plus, she was really scheming to say "Oh, big brother told me the single bed was mine" as if anyone would want to share a bed with her anyway! She would get right on my nerves if I had to spend time with her in that house.

bananabump · 31/05/2007 23:55

lol chelseamum! I hate him too, hate everything about him. I'm boycotting bbbm until he fucks off. Don't worry, the ratings should refelct how inferior he is to Russell in EVERY way, and he'll be axed.

By the way, does anyone actually like the twins? I think they're adorable!

Taffi · 31/05/2007 23:57

3 months of listening to that lot warbling on about make-up, fashion, celebrity, yawn yawn yawn, If I felt that any of the current contestants would have interesting or controversial opinions on anything other than how to perm your eyelashes and tan your armpits then i might watch.................somehow, I doubt it!!

Taffi · 01/06/2007 00:03

Oh yeah and if fattwatchrisfattwatmoyles reckons he gets my viewing he can dissapear up his hugely fatuncomedic arse!!!
