Celebrity Big Brother

Jesus, compared to the UK version of Big Brother, ours sucks. I can't believe the crap that has been going on in that house. So bad that it's even been addressed in the House of Commons. Effigies burned, sponsors pulling out...nice

The last person voted out has to be guarded by police for the next month

That has got to be a show worth watching

I know the details and just for our British webmasters, Jade seems like an uneducated cow

Yep, she certainly comes accross like that, and what a great advert for the UK! Although one rather small, and some of them extremely dumb, selection of "celebrities" bullying someone is definately NOT a snapshot of the UK as a whole.
It was bullying, but not racist bullying, in my humble opinion.

It amuses and saddens me to see people burning an effigy of the show's producer. Sometimes you have to wonder is there anything that doesn't offend somebody? How many of those people have seen what happened?
Plus, 40,000 complaints out of a viewing audience of around 6 million is actually a very low percentage.

I'm sick to death of bloody celebrities! It seems such a cheap way of attracting viewing figures.
So many "celebrities-doing-crap-stuff-that-we-try-and-make-interesting" shows, and very little nudity!
Actually we aren't allowed to see more than boobs and a glimpse of pubic hair on UK TV. Not even slightly open legs and definately no erections!

That's another thing, the boobs

We get none of that. I saw an interview with TV people in the UK and they couldn't decide if it was a reflection on the UK in general or setup by the show itself. And while the show loses sponsors, 9 more are lined up to take their places.

I do have to admit, the girl from India does seem just a touch stuck up

Jade is a mean-spirited bully and Shilpa is an over-privileged pain-in-the-arse control-freak.

The perfect mix.

I'll start watching reality TV when I can vote someone off the planet.
