Big Brother Watch: Freak 16 And This Summer’s News
BIG Brother 9 Watch: Anorak’s looks at Big Brother news in the media…
DAILY MIRROR (front page): “BB AFRAID.. BB VERY AFRAID.”
Is this an in-house memo to Mirror hacks, notice that their jobs are threatened by the Big Brother housemates, who write their own news?
“THE BIG BROTHER WANNABES ARE BACK”
And they’re kicking off their media career by appearing on the front page of a national newspaper. That’s not too shabby. The Mirror’s front page is usually given over to tales of Gordon Brown successes and football. So thank f*** then for Big Brother.
THE SUN: (front page): “BB FREAK S16”
The Sun has the 16 housemates in details. They are, in no special order:
ALBINO, BLIND, SEX-MAD, SWOT, TREE-HUGGER, DOZY, BEAKY, MICK, PADDY, PRODDY, TORY, HORNY, HONKY and a few more…
DAILY STAR (front page): The “OFFICIAL” Big Brother newspaper. OK, not exactly THE official Big Brother newspaper, more “YOUR”, official Big Brother newspaper.
But who are we to question officialdom?
THE TIMES: “Big Brother 9: a blind radio DJ, a wrestling announcer and BB’s first couple line up for ‘evil’ series”
No BB blog this year on the Times Online – not yet – just lots of genuine features and reader feedback:
Please, please, please let this be its last and never again to raise its ugly, sinister head. Profit making at the expense of others, how is this classed as entertainment.
Mark Harris, Swansea, Walesif i had a choice of watching big brother or sticking pins in my eyes i would take the pins
brian rice , halifax, englandWhere is the image for Rachel Rice? Are the times online being discriminative against Welsh People or something?! Sort it out.
Karl Beake, Cwmbran,
THE GUARDIAN: “The return of Big Brother, the show that just won’t die – Still no sign of originality as Big Brother returns for a ninth time. So why are we still watching?”
Because it gives unoriginal hacks something to write about?
