Reality TV

Answer me this - what is “real” about taking a bunch of fame-seeking wannabes who’d probably never cross paths in real life, and subjecting them to living together in a house designed to provide a complete lack of privacy, whilst subjecting them to “tasks” - many of which require disruption to sleep patterns or extended “role playing”.

Apparently there’s something very much like that starting tonight on UK television…

    It’s marmite TV, you either love it or hate it. I personaly love it for many reaosns but the main ones being that it keeps me entertained for the next few months and is a talking point with the family who also watch it.

    I do think that people can hate reality tv/big brother without giving it a fair chance to prove itself.

    Oh, I tried watching it a few years ago - but I just didn’t find it entertaining.

    Unfortunately I’m in the minority at work, so I’ve now got months of discussions of “did you see what xxxxx did?”
