The other issue I have is that exact thing. You get 30 minutes a day of compressed and edited viewing. Plus a norti bits show every now and then. You're left with Ch10's representation of how they wish to portray certain people in an exaggerated and oppressive environment, an environment that's as far away from reality as you could probably get in share accomodation. You film someone 24 hours a day in a situation like that and I'll guarantee that you can edit it to make them look however you want them to. Sadly, they've never been able to edit it to make it entertaining IMO. It's utterly mindless pap.

I'm at a loss to see the point of the show. I certainly can see why Ch10 keep trotting it out as well as Australian Idiot. It's cheap to run and it sells lots of *phonecalls*.
I vote for this bloke.....

I think it's a Blackadder thing...

H: One voter, 16,472 votes -- a slight anomaly...?

E: Not really, Mr. Hanna. You see, Baldrick may look like a monkey who's
been put in a suit and then strategically shaved, but he is a brillant
politician. The number of votes I cast is simply a reflection of how
firmly I believe in his policies.

Speaking of Baldrick, am I the only one who couldn't keep a straight face watching that Real DaVinci Code or whatever it was the the other night?

Sir, I have a cunning plan.
Yes?
Cooking.
.......I see.

Yes I was the same... the kids instantly said "Hey, that's Baldrick!" lol. Poor guy, he's probably so over being known as Baldrick.

LOL, thing is, I provided the "I can't wait until it's over, I hate that crap!" option for those who don't like BB05, now there are two choices for people who want to vote against it...

Well, I can say I've seen one episode, I would have had to, to make any judgement on it.
My curiousity is certainly raised, but only because I can't get my head around why anyone could see such a show as entertaining. :

I'm of the opinion that a persons life must be pretty empty to want to sit and watch programs such as this, it's sad. I can think of many far better things to do with my time.
But, each to there own I suppose.

I'm not so sure about that. Not only do I not actively watch the show, I also don't watch any shows (that I normally would, all the L&O's for instance) that are scheduled after the show.

It would appear that due to the large amount of complaints that Ten got over BB running longer than scheduled, I'm not the only one tuning out.

**** i reckon these guys have more fun jumping on eachothers backs in the pool than hanging with da chicks. As if these chicks dont want it bad. Man all i know is that i wouldnt be wasting any time but thats me. Yes many chicks have called me a male slut. Get in and get the **** out lol.

As for people saying its rubbish. Well i dunno id rather see hot chicks than old dudes on TV shows. If there isnt anythn interesting happening i turn it off an listen to music. If they aint drinking then i aint watching simple as that. Glenn is having a go though good for him lol.

Funny thing is that Vesna is from my neighbourhood... I could kick a football into her yard from mine. According to one of my other neighbours that is.
