Unfortunately a new season starts today here in Finland. It's time and money away from good shows. I've never understood what's so great about the show, it's just a bunch of idiots in a house showing the whole world that they have serious brain damage. And doing so gets them money and fame that they don't deserve.

One of my primary reasons for disliking reality TV, it's cheap shit that treats us like we are stupid and I firmly believe we are better than that.

Guilty here too. I just like observing human behaviour, and there's nothing better to achieve that IMO. I've never bothered with the showbiz element - now there's food for the brain dead.. Saturday night TV

I'll likely regret this Frodo, BUT what is your conclusion about human behaviour from watching this programme?

LOL Big Grin I conclude.. It's a never ending study - people are just very interesting.

I prefer the 10 week marthon. The celeb show is just too short to really see what drives people.

Sorry frodo/evf but I don't find anything remotely interesting about the " housemates ".

Not them in particular. Basically I think the show is crap. And it's gotten worse.

But people in general I find interesting...and if I'm fucking bored it's some people to watch....live - the show itself with all the fucking tasks does my fucking head in.

I find people interesting in general.

But it's not human behaviour (in the sense of normal) any more than fly-on-the-wall documentaries are normal HB.
