I haven't started this thread to be controversial, but I do get the sense that a few fellow qbn'ers consider things like Big Brother as a bit beneath them. We like to think our tastes are somehow more refined than those who watch it?
Well, I hold my hands up, as someone who is interested in human relationships and into popular culture and media, I find the whole BB thing fascinating.

I found it interesting for the first two series, but after that you've seen it all I think. Having said that, a wildy vomiting pregnant wife and a two year old in bed makes going out and living a thing of the past... so we watched it last night.
What a bunch of self-adoring misfits. I feel hugely sorry for that (clearly emotionally damaged) Russian ghoul who lurches like a disease in the background. And the feisty lesbian brummy is going to have a mental breakdown by Tuesday too. The only ones who seemed like actual real and genuine people was that kid from America and the bloke from India.
I am convinced that Freddy and Wolverine are both actors, possibly Beinazir too.

^ In the hands of a bunch of academically minded research documentary makers something like the Big Brother format could be really amazing I think. A serious grown up version where intelligent people are brought together specifically because of individual perspectives on an intelligent issue... that could be great television.

I hate the first 8 weeks of it, then ritually cackle my head off at the unfortunates who are then left to be abused and humiliated by the TV company.
My flatmate absolutely loves it, and has broken my once proud anti-BB stance over the last 2 years. I still hate it, but enjoy the hate more these days. The celebrity version is far funnier though.

Yes Orbit, I like your thinking. I think there is huge temptation on the producers to go for the youth angle thinking they are going to be outrageous. But, unfortunately a lot of them don't seem to have much to say.
Cheap entertainment or social experiment? I think at the moment its the wrong side of the mark.
