OK I admit it; I'm a secondary BB (aka Big Bore) watcher.

I suppose the very first series had a certain novelty value. Then came the first 'celebrity BB' in which Jack Dee tried to break out

, but after that it just went downhill.
The producers filled the house with dysfunctional fruitcakes (in one series they put a genuine nutter in the house by mistake) then went out of their way to turn the inmates against each other. I got the distinct impression that they wouldn't be happy until they'd witnessed an attempted murder!
Then there was the race row. What was that all about? IT'S THE BIG BROTHER HOUSE! If you're not prepared to be slagged off by a bunch of half-wits, you shouldn't be in there. "It's against the law" cried the PC brigade. So is assault and battery but it doesn't apply in a boxing ring!
But what really got me mad, every time, was the way so many inmates reacted when they got voted out:
"How could they possibly vote me out!

"
How many people are in the house?
And how many will be left at the end?
So what makes you think you should be one of them you stupid cow?
So now we have yet another waste of UHF bandwidth on our screens. I can't say I'm surprized. The Big Bore is just the TV version of the junk magazines that have proliferated over the last decade or so. I see them all the time in the patients' waiting room. OK, Hello, Heat, Reveal, Closer, Celebrity Looks (no, I'm not making this up), all filled with worthless information about people of no importance and aimed at people with no life of their own and no imagination either.
