Review: Big Brother

It’s disgusting how lazy some people are, failing to update their blogs in favour of lolling around watching Big Brother and reading the Big Brother online forum and talking to people about Big Brother.

Jumping on the bandwagon late, as ever, I’ve fallen in love with reality TV this year. TV drama disgusts me now: as BS Johnson wrote, “Enough of all this lying!” Why make stuff up, when you can watch a cross-dressing teenager paint his toenails, an aspiring rapper from Leeds cornrow his hair and the most beautiful man on TV walk around in his pants? Why leave the house? I am furious that the weather is perfect: it’s eating into valuable BB obsession time.

Pearls of wisdom so far include, “I go for a girl’s personality as well as her looks – I know that makes me sound like a mincer”, “If a human touches a dolphin, it’s like putting it in acid”, and the revelation that there are people out there who have never gone without sex for more than 25 days. That’s what it’s like, when you’re an experienced sailor on the… OK, will give hilarious Relation Ship pun a rest for now.

Big Brother: I’ll miss it when I’m gone. Unless they have it in Tanzania, with Big Brother voiced by Bob Geldof and insipid theme tune composed by Chris Martin. 8 out of 10.

As a man, I clearly speak for all men, in that we do indeed hate reality. Unless, giving into stereotypes, it involves cars. Or possibly football. The attraction of which has never been apparent to me.

I hate summer as people seem to want to encourage you to go outside.


Oooh, ooh review summer!

he won't be after this summer tho, will he, he'll be a minor celebrity based in chinawhite's.

it's the sixpack that's done for me... tormented by the thought i may never sleep with a man with a sixpack (of abdominal muscles, not budweiser). i might start straightening my hair and wearing miniskirts again, to show willing.

So you don't go for personality or looks, then.

Ugh! I hate Roberto. I like Maxwell. He's so romantic, especially the way he sorted all those maggots to demonstrate his credentials as a fisherman to Saskia. You know, I've seen maggots. In my bin. It was most unpleasant. I still look at that bin and shudder. A man that would sort maggots for me would get my vote. If it wasn't so expensive.

I digress. I was about to say was what I like about Big Brother is the ego boost. It's kind of like having a dog. They make you feel like, compared to them, you're so interesting and intelligent. Until you realise that you're comparing yourself to them and feeling smug. And that's almost as pathetic as being them. In my humble opinion.

In a way reality TV is a bit like blogs isn't it?

hmmm... It won't let me put my name...

Er, that last question wasn't connected to the previous paragraph in case you thought I was criticising your blog Eski! Of course, yours is the exception to the rule. :)

Yeah, well, to be honest I'm more upset about you saying Maxwell is romantic. He's not romantic at all: he's a cockney bunnyboiler.

Tom: do tell.

In fact, I don't think it is wise to Buy FFXIV Gil there. For me, I have been buying FFXIV Gil on the MMOAH website and it feels good. Of course you can also search for FFXIV Gil in Google. There will be many websites in it. Selling, but I think MMOAH is the best. The service attitude of their website is very good, the delivery is also very fast, the product quality is very good, mainly it is very safe, which is very much I care.
