Big Brother 10
Against my better judgement and after not watching since 2004 my curiosity go the better of me and I succumbed to this years annual borefest Big brother 10. Its obvious to see why after 10 years viewing figures are on the floor. Big Brother was an innovative idea and worked well for the first few years the idea of looking in on a group of strangers plucked from obscurity and placed into our front rooms was a ratings winner. But over the last few years producers of the show not happy with situations and story lines developing naturally took to to engineering situations. This resulted in hand picked contestants with backgrounds if not already in television then with entertainment backgrounds and they all mostly came with the obligatory agent. Also executives of the show think that the way to get an audience is purely through shock value. This has resulted in the most gruesome bunch of contestants you can imagine. from transsexuals to Tourettes sufferers. Each year we are promised romance in the house and yet they fill it with assorted gay and lesbian contestants. This years bunch looks like a roll call from the united nations misfit brigade with amongst the locals Indians. Brazilians Iranians. Scots. A Pakistani so dull that she has already been evicted. and a four foot dwarf with dubious origins. They have at least this year put in some eye candy worth looking but they are so devoid of personality and so vulgar in their language and behaviour that their looks alone cant keep me interested. So after a brief flirtation with this years show I'm afraid I wont be able to stay the course I managed 3 days which I think is more than most.
