This is one of the worst shows on British television. Its biggest fault is that the makers of the show choose some really dreadful contestants during each series (most of whom are obnoxious, annoying or boring) - despite thousands of people applying to take part.There's bias by the show towards popular housemates, giving them preferential treatment.

We are talking about a show which was once introduced with the words "Day 21 - Derek is eating a sandwich". What sort of person carries on watching anything after that.You'll see the phrase "like watching paint dry" through thousands of user comments across this website, on despised shows & films.Never a truer word spoken here though & FOR TWO REASONS.One because it is that dull - although that maybe a tad unfair on paint.But secondly - the day British TV fell to it's knees (and went largely unnoticed). A few years back the housemates (there's better names for them than that - but wouldn't make it through the firewall) had to each paint a bench in a colour that reflected themselves. (I expected 12 grey benches). Anyway - after they finished painting them & went inside the camera remained outside, for several minutes - while the viewer did indeed "watch paint dry".And still the public watched.There is possibly one thing worse than Big Brother. The host. I won't give her the satisfaction of publicising her name (+or benal facial expressions) but we're talking about a woman who once introduced 3 OF THE 6 FEMALE ENTRANTS one year by their name & breast size. Never mind, name & job title, name & achievements, name and ambitions maybe. Nope, name & size of Charlies are all that counts nowadays.

This Idea has spawned many ideas. And it was Big Brother that started the Reality TV show craze that has taken over the UK. With "i'm a celebrity" and "X Factor" taking over the TV there is always some reality shows on. With "Friends" over and with the population turning away from the Soaps of Old. People are turning to the most AWFUL piece of Rubbish there ever has been. Who in the World would find watching someone throw up funny. Who would want to watch someone living there lives on CCTV. Watch people moan and cry in the diary room. The Series has gone Downhill since the Big-Brother the Experiment, when the Housemates slept with each other. Now they try to make the housemates sleep together by offering them money. The get the weirdest of the weird to come on the show. They don't have NORAML people anymore. This show is just saying how much Nosey the world is becoming why people who watch peoples lives are just admitting they have no life.

The most successful reality TV format in the UK, with numerous versions that quickly sprung up (and continue running) across the globe. Each summer since the year 2000, millions of people have watched around twelve people with no prior claim to fame sweat it out in an enclosed house for about twelve weeks – arguing, fighting, bitching, gossiping, screaming, going mad, getting drunk, scheming, and above all competing to win a lot of money.For variation, the house interiors and exteriors are redesigned every year, along with a garden and sauna area; as are a series of usually cringeworthy group tasks potentially allowing them to earn more of a shopping budget, or escape elimination voting, for that particular week.The first series, with inaugural winner Craig Phillips (offering his prize to help a Down's Syndrome sufferer) and headline-stealer Nasty Nick Bateman was the only real success in terms of entertainment credibility and invigorating television schedules. The series that followed, for all the producers' efforts, haven't really topped it (aside from the business aspect of viewing figures thanks to an increasing and increasingly apathetic "Hello" generation audience. However the first series of "Celebrity Big Brother" and similarly-formatted "I'm A Celebrity……." Have provided interesting twists.
