Yeah, I’m pathetic

Okay, so I loooooove the TV show “Big Brother”. What’s the big deal? Stop looking at me like that!

Yeah yeah, reality TV shows are so stupid… But I love them. Well, some — I only like Big Brother and Apprentice and there might be few others that I’ll tune into if I just happen to be watching TV at the time. But Big Brother is my all time favorite. I’ll tell you why: I love to see how the balance of power is shifted from week to week, how plans are hatched then broken, and how alliances are formed and smashed.

I also find this sort of thing interesting in books. The Wheel of Time story by Robert Jordan has many political plot lines interspersed throughout the (currently) 11-book series which I find very fascinating. And then there’s A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin which is a story based primarily around war, and thusly, around politics.

Most people think this kind of thing is dry and boring, but when you can see the plots and plans unfold before your eyes I think you can begin to appreciate the coolness ;-)

So yeah, I’m a geek that loves BB. Sue me :-)

    Ohh my god, nooooooooooooooooooooo, dont tell me you like Big Brother, I absolutely hate that show, every time they show a commercial for that program I change the tv channel. I have to admit, I did like the first couple of series of “The Apprentice”, but it was one of those shows like Survivor and The biggest loser, once the novelty wore off, I soon tired of watching it.

    I love big brother too and for much the same reasons as you. Although this year’s big brother went a bit downhill here in Australia in my opinion.

    Do you have a different show then what we see over here?

    We’ve got “all stars”, the best players from the last 6 years. I’m really loving it :)

    I watched the first few seasons in the Netherlands here, but after that I lost total interest. I never really liked it that much. I also do not know why ou like it haha. But hey, it is for entertainment and if you like that - enjoy it! :)
