This year’s Big Brother began on Thursday and has an “inside out” theme, with sofas in the garden and grass indoors.
The house is smaller than in previous years, with greater use of mirrors and glass to give contestants as little privacy as possible.
Campaigners have accused Channel 4 of exploiting contestant Pete Bennett, who has Tourette Syndrome.
The programme’s producers have insisted the 24-year-old is confident and creative and was picked on personality alone.
I can imagine the editorial meeting about this…….
Scumbag producer 1: “Do you think we can get away with a contestant with Tourettes?”
Scumbag producer 2: “We can get a way with anything we are gods.”
Scumbag producer 1: “You’re right lets fuck him up for all to see and besides he applied to be on our show so it’s his fault really”
Scumbag producer 3: “Hey you two don’t worry about him think of the viewing figures”
Scumbag producer 2: “And just think when Davina does his exit interview she can ask him all about the condition and then we’ll look like we’re really interested in his story”
Scumbag producer 3: “Do you think Davina could cry on demand?”
Scumbag producer 1: “If not we can fake it”
I can’t stand Big Brother it makes my skin crawl. Not because of the antics of the contestants or the challenges or the house but because Channel Four took an original idea which started off as a really interesting television experiment and turned it in to a forced and fake - never off the screen - pile of turd. Did you watch the first or second series? How may times did the contestants look at the fence that separated them from the outside world and ask “I wonder what’s going on out there?” Now they just expect to be famous and why? Because Channel Four demands it. It’s on for a quarter of a year this time with more contestants than ever and more television coverage than ever. That’s 13 weeks of the Channel Four schedule now try telling me that they pick contestants on personality alone.
