Flicked through the paper to see that there have now been so many complaints about Jade's comments on BB that they are actually considering axing the show.
source type thing
Best bit of news I have heard for ages if they carry it out.

Do feel a little dirty and used though, if it does get axed it will be the enemy of my enemy... PC stupidity getting rid of Reality TV mediocrity. 38,000 complaints over one dumb comment as far as I can tell. And Carphone Warehouse removing it's sponsorship.

I just wish that it had happened because everyone woke up and realised the show was awful!
 
We can only hope they axe Big Brother.

It doesn't really affect me as I don't watch it but having to listen to people banging on about it all the time is very annoying plus anything to stop these idiots becoming 'celebrities' would be nice.
 
As Sandy Toksvig said this weekend:

"Mr Basiljet, the producer or Big Brother is actually the great grandson of the Mr Basiljet who designed Londons Victorian sewers. So the family has a history of making conduits for shh...."
 
I personally think BB died years ago, when the show changed from an "experiment" to what can only be described as an overglorified "soap opera".
 
I dislike BB never really got "it" however imo you cant axe the whole program because some annoying cow makes some comments. Maybe the producers should have got rid of her but then again free speech?

Pretty sure you can say anything you like unless its inciting violence?

I agree, I quite enjoyed the first series, its was new and fresh.

There are very few things on TV now that can run for 8 seasons and still be good. BB is one of them.

You see that's my whole problem. I would love the whole thing to go away. BB ending would mean that I didn't loose what 2 months of channel 4 scheduling a year to this mindless drivel. Not to mention it invading my workplace. I am not sure if I can agree to it being destroyed by PC feel good wanabees though. Lets face it as a social experiment this is probably the most important thing to have happened in this show. To see the consequences of Jades actions would ALMOST be enough to make me watch some of it!

Same here, im still amazed at how an ignorant pig like Jade has £8mill and is the 25th most influential person in the world...

The sooner they ditch it the better, its a tired formula that was good for a yr or so but now is just pure unadulterated BS that C4 seems to be churning out more and more.
 
How could it be axed? Surely it's one of Ch4's most consistently well-watched shows? I doubt very much it'd happen. Big Brother isnt the sole cause of 'nobodies-becoming-celebrities' ya know.

confirmed to me by an Indian friend who said all the asian people he knows were constantly bombarding him with emails and texts to visit ofcoms and register a complaint even though most had not even seen the show.
 
*crosses fingers*

Big Brother going extinct would be bliss. I can have Friends back on C4 in the morning! :D
 
I'm sure there is some Irony in this somewhere.

Fat stupid munter enters celebrity bb, her only claim to fame, being a former BB constant known for being a stupid fat munter. During the course of events she opens her fat pie hole and unwittingly makes sudo racist remarks (which she is late appalled by when pointed out that she was a racist on public telly) And goes about being the (hopefully) final nail in the coffin of a show that should have been buried 4-5 years ago.

Now All we need to do is get rid of all the other "I want to be a celebrity/relocate my fame get me on the telly" programmes and the world will be a better place.

Could'nt agree more.

Although I am shocked at the level of criticism that this girl has taken. The Tabloid press, TV should reporting on real news, rather than this constant barrage of acidic bile.

The War in Iraq where our Government are still condoning the slaughter of hundreds of Iraqi's for oil. Gordon Browns and the Labour Party gambling with the economic future of our country. Our pensions, what pensions. The money wasted on EU bureaucrats. The Congestion Charge, who actually benefits. The Green taxes that are being introduced to cut emissions of which we contribute 2% globally, go speak to the Chinese. The NHS, more waste of millions of pounds of taxpayers money. Gatso Speed camera's, Specs camera's dont save lives but raise millions in fines, tax for the motorist? and much much more....
