Default Big Brother......Why?..

Why do people watch and get caught up in such trivial drivel as this, i mean what makes people want to follow the sad progress(or not) of these air headed posing morons?. The only ' reality ' show i watched was hells kitchen and that because things actually happened to keep it sort of interesting. Not a bunch of tossers poncing around in a house being utter idiots. Is this really why we pay for our tv licences?.

some people actually like these i think its just escapism from their own lives.
We like to watch how people interact and we enjoy watching the arguements and so on i have no idea why but a lot of people just do.

I think it's a similar reason to why people visit the zoo ;)

C4 isn't paid for by the TV licence, that's paid for through advertising crap like crazy frog ringtones , although I am disappointed that the BBC has followed the pack and gone down the reality tv route to such a degree. They should be innovating in the areas they know best IMO.
Having said that, 'reality tv' has quite a broad spectrum, and some of the more documentary style offerings have been very good, 'faking it' and 'Lad's Army' being a few of my favourites.

I'll watch BB until I get bored of it (which I know I will), and won't be upset because it's the last one. It's had a good run - time for something else.

I watch it to see what freaks we get this year........and there are a few in there,but it doesn't get interesting until nominations and they get rid of the deadwood.
I think there will be a few scraps this year as they all seem to have big egos.
