Right, I've Had A Frickin' Nuff!!!

[Darmanicus]

Where to start, where to start........????????

I'm talkin' about the british show 'BB', otherwise known as' Big Brother'.......

Bit of background:

My fiancee is a BIG fan of BB, (I suppose it's a girl thang and please don't get at me with regards to that statement because IME it IS a girl thang.......every day I go to the office, the girls are talking about it, however this is not my point). She watches it religiously and therefore at times I'm caught up in it because I want to relax in my lounge and watch TV....any TV. Actually I just want to relax most of the time and the TV is on because that's what happens in the lounge when it's just me and my girl......and she has the the TV rights 99% of the time which is fine by me.

Back to the , sort of, present:

The point I DO want to make is that the British public have got to be a bunch of freakin' morons/idiots/humourless/jerk off/masochists........

Please let me explain.....

2 series ago some guy from one of the little islands that plague the area near Scotland won 'Big Brother'. He wasn't funny and he sounded like the 'Little Britain' character the 'Only gay in the village'. Now he wasn't gay, he was just deeply religious, (not that I'm making a point there, it just was quite prominent), but he wasn't funny, he wasn't even vaguely amusing, he was just NICE in that sick, horrible way which probably won him the old granny/mothering vote. IMO it was just WRONG. The silly t**t couldn't even be selfish enough to spend the money on himself, in fact he donated it or bought something to/for his local church........jerk!

1 series ago and a transexual from Portugal won 'Big Brother'. She/He wasn't funny either. All she did was whine and cry about not having any freakin' cigarettes and the only funny thing to result from her character was the fact that a couple of the other male characters didn't realize she was a bloke for a while and were, sort of, entertaining ideas for a very short time. Point being, she was NOT entertaining in the slightest. She just wanted to make me puke to be quite honest and not because she was transexual but because she was a transexual and going on prime time TV to let everyone know about it/whine about not being accepted or something like that.

This current series, and what caused this post, is the current eviction nomination of a guy called Maxwell, possibly one of the most hilarious characters I've ever seen on 'Big Brother' and somebody that's made me actually want to watch the bloody programme when I do want to realx in my lounge! The guy is a very funny cockney lad, always got a quick quip and is far more entertaining than the rest of the others combined.

But he got evicted...........WHY?

He was up against a coloured lad by the name of Science who to be fair was a typical 'brother/boy from the hood'. Not being funny but if you listened to him a million films might spring to mind. My point with him being he wasn't funny either, just a stereotype that I've seen/heard plenty of times before.

Now before I get totally slated, it doesn't end there by ANY stretch of the imagination it's just that Science was the guy up against Maxwell so he came first for the 'dissing'.

The other housemates, (well nearly all of them), are equally horrific. Let's see if I can go thru the lot of them:

1. Anthony - The Geordie womanizer, he's ok but really needed Maxwell to even take notice of. His shining moment was getting it on with Makosi and Orlaith which provided a VERY entertaining 1/2 hour but I'll get into that in just a second.

2. Craig - Young gay lad that cries every 5 minutes. Has possibly said 2-3 funny things in his time in the house. He's ok and that's even after I saw his intro in the house in which he portrayed himself as a total jerk.

3. Eugene - Late coming male cry baby; not really worth mentioning.

4. Derek - Oldish, coloured, gay guy, member of the conservative party. Respect for this guy, he's gay but doesn't stick it at you, you just know. However he's another that's said one or two funny things but that's it.

5. Vanessa - Female, coloured girl. Totally dippy and sucks up to anybody who shows the smallest amount of authority. She's also TOTALLY devoid of any humour. Bye Bye.

6. Makosi - Female, coloured girl. As much as I dislike her, she plays a pretty good game and she's hot. She's in it to win and the audience knows it. I still don't like her though, just rubs me up the wrong way. She is actaully quite funny.

7. Orlaith - Female, Irish girl. Have you read the recent bloke rant thread? Well Orlaith would be a prime candidate for one of the suckiest women going, (and unfortunately I don't mean that in a literal sense). One evening she's getting Anthony to suck her upper regions after he's only asked for a kiss! Ok no problem there, however the following morning she's virtually slating him etc. etc. Don't get me wrong, she's damn hot however I wouldn't touch her with a nuke! She's not funny, just something that rhymes with runt.

Ok I think this is the last one......

8. Kemal - Male, young and gay.....very gay......in fact so gay that when they took a poll asking for all the gay people in the world to put in a vote, he constituted 38% of it!!! Sorry folks but this guy is an , he's not funny and another who decided to make his statement on TV. I actually know a guy like this who has to be REALLY gay, in fact so much so that in his opinion, every bloke on the planet is gay. He tries to get it on with every bloke who ever turns up at his house.

Enough of the character descriptions from my point of view then. If anybody has taken offense so far to what I've written then I apologise, that wasn't my point but I'm sure some people out there will read it otherwise.

What I'm trying to get at is what the British TV watching public must be thinking??? Are they all freakin' mad? Do they need a gimmic? Someone please explain this to me. You've got a potentially quite funny TV reality show however the 'public' vote votes out all the funny people leaving all I can describe as gossip material in!

Once again I didn't mean to offend anyone in this post however I'm not responsible for who BB puts on TV.

D out.

Well your version still beats the hell out of the American version.

Maybe I'll move to America then, got some folks in California.

Here I thought you were talking about the american version. I was confused for a second.

Wow, don't know if it's just an English-to-American translation thing, but that was one of the most offensive rants I've read on EnWorld in a long time.

Maxwell made the fatal mistake of upsetting the young girlies, who actually spend their money to vote, with his aggressive and obnoxious behaviour. If he'd stuck to being the cheeky chappy then he'd still be in.

Science has the most massive chip on his shoulder, won't ever shut up or back down and always goes on about how no-one "gets him". I think he only escaped eviction this week because he was less gross than Maxwell.

Naked jacuzziness night was fascinating tv. Makosi and Orlaith are such manipulative women.

There hasn't been anyone this year that I've felt any empathy for. Most of them are wannabe Z-list "stars". The only interesting "relationship" left now is Craig (gay) and Anthony (straight, and doesn't realise Craig has a crush on him).

Cheers,

The thing is, when you see the people chosen to go on the show, they are almost like caricatures. Here's the token cockney geezer, the boy from the hood, the italian stallion, the screaming queer, the mincing hairdresser, the thick geordie stud. It's difficult to describe most of them accurately without it sounding offensive.

As I said, apologies if this has upset anyone. All I can ask is how this has offended you because you've made the statement but just not given any example. Kinda hard to respond to if you know what I mean.

As I've said, I catch this series on a semi frequent basis. I haven't been privvy to Maxwell's obnoxious stuff but yer right, it's the young girlies who make a considerable proportion of the vote but to keep Science in!!!???

And yes, a bunch of freakin' wannabes.

And yes M&O are SOOO manipulative however at least Makosi's quite clever about it, Orlaith is just STUPID; it's only the I'm horny and naked most of the time thang that's gonna keep her alive.
