In the links thread it states that popular shows like this one can have their own thread.

Seriously I can’t wait for the show to start tonight. Frankie Cocozza is rumoured to be on it which will be awesome if it comes true. I wonder who else will be in it?

Frankie Cockoozer and awesome in the same sentence?

"It would be awesome if Frankie Cockoozer fell down the stairs on his way into the house" ?

It's Big Brother mate, reality is suspended.

What I want to know is, if people had jobs, how would they combine that with watching 20 hours a day of Big Brother, soaps, Friends repeats, MTV etc channels, Dancing on Ice / X Factor / Idol, playing Mafia Wars/Fishing / Cafe World / etc on Facebook, Twitter, and endless games texts and messages on their iphones? Is there time for anything any more?

I reckon that dumbing down has now reached the stage where most people spend most of their lives in an utterly banal waste of time, for practically no purpose at all, on pointless diversions to the point of obsession.
=#FFFFFFUnlike us on these boards of course, which are a plainly wonderful and productive use of one's time

I really don’t understand why there’s so much dislike towards Frankie. He gives journalist something to write about and entertains large sections of Britain with his edgy lifestyle.

Another rumour was that Lindsey Lohan might be in the house too. They’d make a great celebrity romance don’t you think?

Well at least she is used to being locked up

What constitutes "popular"?

A lot of people who do the stuff that you’ve mentioned have jobs. Well not jobs - just places people go to pretend to work. My mate for example works in a office and she’s always on Facebook. Sometimes she can get away with not doing work at all because she just has to make it look like she’s working when in reality she’s doing something else (facebooking) to make time go quicker so she can get home and go on Facebook at home as well.

i dont work (hopefully that will be sorted though in the next few weeks. fingers crossed) i dont do any of the above.
ive been getting myself fitter the last couple of years(in between blood tests and hospital stays and appointments) to be able to return to work. me and the dog go out everyday and we all go out at the weekend (weather permitting) and i usually need to sleep for an hour or 2 in the afternoon. i spend time on here and LFC forums mainly. i read.
i have very rarely been bored these last 2 years.

i wont be watching celeb big brother or other such krap.

I thought Big Brother wasn't on any more. Have they brought it back?

Anything that hipsters deem uncool.

Latest rumour Gareth Thomas is going in the house!

It's on 5, so may as well be not on any more

So, to clarify, Channel 4 thought it was too tired even for them, leading Channel 5 to believe it would be just the thing to enhance their viewing schedules?

Not to mention managing to pad out around 30% of The Star, The Express is still focussing on Diana, Madeleine and forrinners

You're not wrong!!

Good shout, should make it slightly more interesting!

You are Jeremy Clarkson and I claim my £5

No one I recognise so far - with the exception of the Giggs girl, who you could not call a 'celebrity' either?

Couldn't we have a national definition of celebrity? That way it could be tightly drawn and we could actually have people we've heard of on this type of programme; alternatively the definition could be liberally drawn and then eveyone who be under no illusion thaat the people are in fact non-entities.

Recognising Natasha Giggs but not Michael Madsen? You should be ashamed.

Didn't recognise either of them. Just turned over as Giggs was going in, so I heard the introduction!

Do yourself a favour and watch Reservoir Dogs. Brilliant film, which just happens to have Michael Madsen in it

lets hope no one annoys him and hes got a cut throat close by him, oh and no music either for him to dance to as he cuts away.............you dont want to be stuck in the middle with him!!
