Advantages: Nominations, Arguments, Challenges

Disadvantages: Boring second time around, House mates playing it up.

Update.....19-06-01.........Evictee's.
Paul and Narinda are up for the public vote this week, I think everyone should vote for Paul. My main reasons being he seems too quiet, Does not jump out at you. Therefore has he really been involved? Narinda should stay so the war between her and Amma can continue and make the programme worth watching. We need the out spoken house mates till the end otherwise it will get boring. Just imagine the last three being Helen, Amma and Narinda. We could have a good punch up. Now that would be a show.


Update:-------------Some more excitement last week as a serious argument broke out between Stuart and Amma. And one between Brian and Josh. This has improved Big Brother a lot. My one quibble now is, These house mates that are having arguments are being voted out leaving the quiet and boring one's behind. Where's the Fun going to come from now?


I didn't watch the first Big Brother from the start, it was just after the 3rd eviction I started. So I thought I would watch all this one, but now I'm not so sure. Just in case you don't know what BB2 (Big Brother) is I'll give a quick run down.

Ten people, 5 men and 5 woman chosen from thousands are put in a large purpose made house for up to 3 months and completely cut off from the world. If these are the ten best, what were the rest like. They are not allowed any TV, radio or newspapers or to make any contact with anyone outside. The house is filled with camera's so we can watch every move they make. That includes the shower and the toilet. They are set tasks to do by BB and must bet some of there weekly food allowance on the outcome. Every week each house mate will have to nominate the two house mates they want to see evicted, The two highest scoring house mates are put to a public vote. The house mates are not allowed to discuss there nominations with each other or BB could evict them for cheating. The last one
remaining wins and gets £70,000. This time around in BB2 we also get the chance to vote in a house mate.

The house this time around is much more pleasing to the eye with its cabin and log effect. The house mates also have a separate den to hide away in this time. There is nowhere to hide from the Camera's. In the garden they also have 5 chickens they must look after. Although I haven't seen much of that so far.

So how's BB2 going so far, To be honest its as I thought it would be. The house mate's Helen, Amma, Bubble, Penny, Elizabeth, Paul, Dean, Stuart, Brian and Narinder (must get her name right) Seem to only have one thing on there mind and they know how to behave, After watching the first Big Brother anyone would. You would know what people want to see so they wont vote you out. That's why I think this one is not as good. Its a sequel, and sequels are never as good as the original. That was fresh and new. You've seen it before. Also, on all the read ups on TV and in the news papers it seems Channel 4 are hoping two house mates will get together this time to boost ratings. I feel they need more to do instead of just sitting down all the time. I would give them harder more involved challenges.

So what can we look forward to now from the sex crazy house mates?
The best bits I feel are the challenges, Will they win or fail. The first challenge failed because Helen walked off to get a dress. They were meant to be watching a fire and keeping it alight for 105 hours and have two house mates there at all times. They had to make a calendar as well, so they did a sexy one. What else.
Watching for arguments is always fun, They have already had one between Penny and Stuart, That was also caused by talking about sex. A good punch up would be nice.
The nominations. Will the ones we hate get voted out or survive till the end. Will house mates try to make alliances and have tactical votes without BB knowi
ng. I don't think so because they all want to be friendly and nice. Boring. Penny and Bubble are my favourites to go out.
Penny, because she's was all over Brian on day one. She also seems to want to mother the rest making there life to easy.
Bubble, because he has a loud mouth at would get on my nerves. He complains to Penny about all the kitchen duty she is doing, Why don't he shut up or get in there himself.
Elizabeth is my favourite to win, She is a nice, cute quiet woman anyone could get on with.

I don't know if I will keep watching this time, Even my wife has not watched this one much. Maybe this time around its Oh Brother 2 instead of Big Brother 2. Sorry Channel 4. For an alternative show, if you can get the German channel RTL2 they are doing Big Diet. The winner is the one who loses more weight. They will receive half there weight in gold on winning and half next year if they kept to it. Trouble is you need to understand German.
