View Full Version : Err... Big Brother lost all meaningness?

Ok, just before I go on, nobody say its pointless. Because the winner donates money to a charity of choice, so therefore it has a point.

I just realised, the favourite and most obvious to win is Chantelle. But what was the point of her being there? She doesnt qualify because she is not a celebrity prior to Big Brother, but now she is.
This therefore creates an un-even balance because a celebrity is supposed to win this, not some look-alike of Paris Hilton (Is that even a good thing?).

It makes no sense, but either way people will benefit through the charity, but I think Michael should also take part of the win because if Chantelle wasnt there, he would have won by now. 2 Charities seem fair.

I actually feel sorry for Chantelle if she has any brains, because she surely would realise she is famous for a stupid reason, im suprised no one from big brother has realised this. People only like you because you were in a house and you annoyed people, they dont care who you actualy are as a person.

So, what do you think, are people going in Big brother just for attention now? Since you dont have to win it to get cash, you just go in and people like you.

I would say past the first season (and maybe even including) people have only been going in there to get famous (and/or rich).

And the whole Chantelle thing seems like a Making Kelham Famous sitch, just easier cause it was done through channel four.

Well i have to agree that it is daft that a non-celebrity won 'celebrity big brother', however charity's still get money from the phone/text votes and i reckon there was alot of them....

I did watch the show this last few days actually (as nothing else was on, i must add, it really hasn't gripped me) and must say i wanted either Preston, Michael or Chantelle to win anyway and thats watching it for 4 days....

I like some-one who's friendly, always happy/laughing and just doesn't take things to seriously, i also hate bully's, so....

WELL DONE Chantelle, good luck to ya! ;)

Well i loved celebrity big brother this year. I was happy that Chantelle won it i really liked her in the house, just down to earth and so funny with some of the things she came out with.

I wouldnt have minded barrymore, Preston or Maggot coming first either.

As for Chantelle not being famous before ?? how comes in Nuts/Zoo they have some topless photo shoots of her eh ? she looks pretty damn good, i sense more of these shall appear soon and i for one cant wait.

I assume Chantelle won based on the basis of these posts, since it seems I was the only one with enough self restraint not to waste time on such shit.

If i was getting that money she is going to get from that show, from modeling, tv presenting, i wouldnt give a shit how i got famous, and i reckon she thought of that beforehand, meaning she has got brains, coz she's getting rich for going on tv for a few weeks

yeh i saw those pictures of her in the magazines, it's obvious she has been trying to get famous for a long time, and i bet those naked pictures helped her get INTO the house as i'm sure c4 were aware of them and hoped she would strip inside. she always seemed a bit stupid to me, she has no skills, no talent, yet now she's gonna be famous and earn lots of money... doesn't seem fair to me when there's so many talented people out there trying to make it.

i'm glad charities have benefited, i'm also sure the "celebrities" who didn't win will contribute anyway to the charities they were going in for, but i think it's all just stupid now. i watched it the year alex, jade etc were in and i enjoyed it as it was my first time, watched it again last year until they got rid of the good characters in the first few weeks, and this one just didn't interest me at all.

No it certainly is not.

And yeah, it is frigging ridiculous. I really hope she gives that money to charity ( though i seriously doubt it), she'll make the money back from the tabloids anyway. OK, Heat, The Star, The sun etc.

I watched some of the first series, and have never glanced at it since. It was sorta an intresting experiment the first time around, but now the only people who even audition are jobless layabouts with no family/friends/intelect/active social life to maintain for at least the next three months. All for the sake of doing pointless, inane tasks. Including the "celebrity" version. So what is the intrest in putting the results on camera? Show me the version of celebrity Big Brother where Michael Schumacher, Pope Benedict XVI and Stephen Fry are asked to research and discuss the implications of the cold war conflict in Korea. Then I'll watch.

why do people have to slate those who watch these shows. Some people like them some dont. so its hardly a wonder why so many people watch it, its just entertainig to some people, including me. If u dont like it fair enough but dont complain about people watching them. How can people not find george galloway pretending to be a cat not worth seein?lol

That was hilarious.

I lvoed the movie they made, the bit at the end when they were all got evicted had me and my mum in tears. When Michael was pretending to be Maggot, *bang* I don't fit in anywhere. I wanted MAggot to win, GLC are great!

Come on Odwin, that was a little harsh.
I agree with Hellfire, big brother is possibly the biggest piece of shit ever made. "ZOMFG LETS WATCH PEOPLE DO STUPID SHIT IN A HOUSE! LOL"

People like different things. Just because you and some others do not like Big Brother doesnt mean its total rubbish. Thats just a little thing called personal opinon.

I for one love it and will continue watching Big Brother for as long as they carry on making them.

Big Brother makes the rules....so you cannot fight it just because she wasn't a celebrity to start with. She deserved to win more than anyones else.
Maggot should've been 2nd in my opinion.

I don't care what you consider entertaining, watching anybody sleep is as boring as watching Caris and Fatrox beating each other up on DoA4 for achievements.

I just think that a show that films people's lives is seriously boring and uninteresting. It's not like people are being themselves when they know they're being watched and are competing to be the best. Best at what? Beats me. It just amazes me that people are actually interested and talk about what they did.
"-Sarah just told Josh he's a total dick!
- Oh my gosh, that's so exciting! Sarah's such a bitch!"
That said, I think it's a cheap and low quality show, but if it entertains you, just watch it and forget what what other people say. Not trying to start a war or anything, just saying what I think.
Carry on.

I watched it about half the time. Sometimes i thought *yawn* other times i thought it as good. I watched the final more as an excuse to stay up later. So only about a quarter of the show was hlaf interesting for me. Don't really want to watch it next year. Might watch the normal Big Brother in summer. Though the people will probably all be useless people who will have no other chance of success in their lives. I thought the first 2 series' were ok, i don't think the 2nd series was people gonig in for attention . But from 3+ it turned into a way of seeking attention.
