What a 'bag of cocks' they've unearthed this year π Just this year? Reality tv used to be ok. The first big brother was v good. Then it became more and more agents sending in tapes, lots of sneaky behind the scenes stuff. Itβs now wank and more than run itβs course

This about the only reality show I really pay any attention to. Overall I quite like it but i think the candidates (as in most reality TV shows) have become progressively more unhinged. It's got to the point where you can pretty much tell after just 3 weeks who is in the running for the final or not, just because most of them are just so terrible to even stand a chance.
ps - It's 'bag of dicks' i believe.

The first big brother was v good. I know Big Brother Series 1 winner Craig Phillips though the course of my work. Very genuine guy (to paraphrase Jamie fucking Redknapp, a "top, top bloke") and as you say, a throwback to when these sorts of shows were entered by actually real people, not grasping fame-hungry wankers like they are now.

He used to live in the town where i am, so have come across him many times over the years (and my ex and her now husband - who incidentally was name checked in his auto-biography as they were very good friends - went to his wedding last year).
Thoroughly nice bloke to be fair who donated all of his winnings from Big Brother to a family friend who needed a heart and lung transplant (he'd already spent months individually trying to raise money for her before he entered the show as well with local events etc.). Very decent chap....since then pretty much everyone on Big Brother are there simply to try to get some kind of telly career. Fake as fuck gameplayers most of them

I think they go out of their way to choose arrogant deluded fuckwits - because its good tv when they make absolute dicks of themselves, and alan can have more fun putting them down and firing them.
It'd be boring if they were all brilliant business people.

Never actually really watched this show before, although I have seen odd bits in past years here & there and promotional snippets & clips have always been hard to avoid, so you could tell from those what a bunch of arrogant, insufferable, know-all idiots there were on display every year. For some reason I did decide to watch it this year and couldn't stop gasping at the complete awfulness of 'character' and the 'me, me, me' attitude & behaviour on show --- must confess, though, that seeing all those smug faces fall when one after another of their smart ideas totally failed was quite delicious. Basically I can't sum it up better than Stripey's description, which is just about spot-on! I shall watch it again, though, as seeing such a bunch of snowflakey, mouthy, plastic strutters constantly dropping themselves in it and then getting marmelised by AS was quite good fun. It'd be even better if they did something a bit more 'dramatic' to the loser each week, though, eg. guillotined them.

I'd had a sizeable amount of liquid refreshment. I sort of mumbled, "Sorry, it's the beer talking". And then rounded it off by waving my glass and attempting a loud Keith Harris / Cuddles the monkey impression of "your daughter's a nutter".
I think that worked well. Mrs Q's friend hasn't said anything about me since as far as I know. In fact, she hasn't been round our house since ...
