Big Bore-ther

I've never been a fan of Big Brother. I tuned in occasionally on one series just to listen to Jade Goody but for the most part it's passed me by, I just don't see the point of it and I hate the number of reality TV spin off's it's produced.

Everyone seems so desperate for their 15 minutes of fame, and boy do these Z-list celebs in the current series need the publicity.

Germaine Greer, who if I'm not mistaken has been bemoaning reality tv, Mad Dane, Brigitte Nielsson and her pneumatic chest - last film role anyone? Probably Beverly Hills cop. John McY-Fronts, the most disgusting man in England at the moment. A small toddler from Blazing Sqaud and Rachael Steven's Ex-Fiancee (face it, that's why he's on). Oh and I nearly forgot Lisa "I'm a DJ even though I left radio one 10 years ago" I'Anson and Caprice "I'm only 33 and haven't had surgery" Whatever-her-surname is.

Is what is to become of television in the future? Just wall-to-wall reality TV shows featuring people we don't care about in the slightest? It's an Orwellian nightmare come true.

I haven't yet had to see the most interesting piece of television this year will see (and we're only 10 days into it) - 45,000 complaints to BBC2 about Jerry Springer: The Opera so it can't be bad. All these balthering people complaining about blasphemy and swearing - have they not not heard of Big Brother? I went out with My Secret Friend who taped it and I'm waiting to borrow it from her.

And I reckon from what I saw of the beginning it's going to be a cracking watch!
