This cracked me the fuck up - Katt saw this too, we both got a giggle out of it (great minds think alike babe!)
Foul and unsettling? Yes siree! As per tradition, let's put all human decency to one side, hold a pistol to our collective temple, and celebrate the approaching finale of Big Brother 6 (daily, C4) with a pointless little awards ceremony, coming to you live from an A5 piece of newspaper held in front of your eyes right now. First up, the prestigious Most Sickening Housemate award, which this year goes to a couple: Maxwell (London's village idiot) and Saskia (burly, wrathful harridan with a face that could advertise war). Their daily routine consisted of bullying, bellowing, cackling at their own dismal non-jokes, glaring, sniping and discussing their imminent ascent to the toppermost peaks of stardom - until the last week, when, faced with eviction, they settled for sulkily rutting like doomed livestock. The latter surely ranks as the least sexy thing ever broadcast on television. I'd get more aroused watching a dog drown in petrol. Next, it's the Stupidest Single Statement award. This year's show contained dumber utterings than ever before. There was an early classic from Anthony, who, while frolicking semi-naked in the pool, carped, "What's the matter with youse, you're sitting there like you're watching a television show," to a disapproving Science. Sadly, that's ineligible because it was immediately followed by the year's wisest rejoinder (Science: "I am.") Which means it's a race between Craig's frank admission that "I aren't too familiar with the rules of the English language" and Anthony's claim that he's "more developed than a plant" - both of which are beaten by Saskia's jaw-dropping assertion that the second world war started in 1966. The award for Most Alarming Behaviour goes, inevitably, to Craig - a high-risk FBI profile made flesh. When he wasn't proclaiming his own brilliance, weeping, masturbating, or shrieking uninformed opinions at a uninterested world, he was mindfucking his beloved Anthony - a man so profoundly thick you could sell him a pair of his own socks for £500, even if he was already wearing them. Their relationship reached its nadir the night Anthony got paralytic and Craig sensed an opportunity. A bleak farce ensued - Anthony vomiting and crying for his gran, Craig frantically cuddling him while shouting, "I'm your only friend in here." It felt more like an extended outtake from Deliverance than a reality show. How Craig passed the psychological vetting process, and why he wasn't quietly removed from the house and given some gentle guidance, is a deeply worrying mystery. The Cheated Winner award is a close call between two acquired-taste housemates. Only a heartless warlord couldn't warm to Eugene, a well-meaning human pylon whose ineptitude and timidity meant he was out of his depth from the off. But he's narrowly pipped by Science, a bull-headed, one-man belligerence engine who delighted in provoking Maxwell and Derek to breaking point. For services to torture alone, Science should've won. Just time for a few parting gongs. The award for Snidest Conniving Prick goes to Derek, a man so devious he probably pisses cobra venom; the Ugliest Body award is split between Sam and Orlaith, for poking their fake, motionless tits in the viewer's face (presumably to attract the sort of person who'd like to screw their way through the plastinated corpses at Professor von Hagens' Bodyworlds exhibition). Finally, the award for Unprecedented Dignitycide goes to Kinga, who, just when you genuinely believed TV couldn't possibly shock you from your jaded, end-of-the-world ironic detachment bubble, celebrated her second night in the house by masturbating with a wine bottle in the middle of the lawn - an act of such gruesome self-abasement, even the other housemates were appalled. Considering they're the most undignified people in Britain, that's an astounding achievement. Mark my words, we'll be celebrating it on commemorative stamps before the decade's out. Preferably self-adhesive ones. Article from English newspaper 'The Guardian' - by Charlie Brooker (Saturday August 6, 2005) Class, just sheer class | |

Christ, I promised myself I wouldn't bother looking at it and yet I did, and I promised myself I wouldn't rant about it and yet here it is:
What confuses me most about this show now is the motivation to appear on it. It doesn't look like a pleasant experience in any way, shape or form, it never has - You're shoved into a house for ten weeks with people who are supposedly your peers, but who have absolutely nothing in common with you bar being roughly within the same ten year age bracket. You're variously starved, humiliated and emotionally tortured by the producers of the show, you're abused, insulted and character-assassinated by your 'housemates'. If you're a woman you're treated either like a sex object or a blubbering whale or both, if you're a bloke you're either a raving faggot, a brain-dead body-builder or a racial stereotype, you're put into situations where any good you have within you is completely suppressed, and you're left with a whining, hypocritical, backstabbing, egocentric shell. Like pitching a rottweiler against a hyena, you know someone is inevitably going to win, but both sides are going to have to take a fair few gouges in the process. In the few years this has been going on, I have yet to see a single contestant on this show exit the 'house' with any kind of dignity intact, and it's fairly clear that most of them had no self-respect to begin with. This most recent development, some bovine retard shoving a bottle of cheap wine into her twat whilst virtually comatosed on booze, well, what can you say except it's not really as shocking as all that, it's pretty much on a par with the degradation that these people are willing to inflict upon themselves - It's kind of ironic, weeks of that Irish girl flaunting her knockers to all and sundry, and the programme being all coy about it as if they didn't condone voyeurism or pornography, and then of their own accord they send in this female lout who barely a few hours in is lying on the lawn, legs akimbo, smashed out of her mind and frigging herself with a medium-dry Merlot. Well, applause for this involuntary slice of television magic, to whomever is morally corrupt enough to accept the credit for it. Now that Big Brother has finally made its point, I sincerely hope (yes, beyond hope) that those tasteless, cash-obsessed wankers at Endemol will just shut the whole fucking thing down, in the acknowledgement that everything that anyone never wanted to see has now been shown on their reality TV excrement. That is until they legalise spontaneous televised homicide. And that's something that might actually make the show worth watching - If instead of playing the game for a hundred grand prize, they were having to play the game for their lives... And I wonder if we'd find out that we'd been completely wrong in our assumptions of which was worth more to these wastes of human existence.

Awesome read (reminds me of a gaurdian journo somewhat) But we all know they do it for fame and fortune. Fame is so important to people to achieve now, and it looks so easy if u do reality tv.

Big Brother gave them all non-alcoholic champagne (ewwww) last night and didn't tell them. Kinga got "drunk" on it
See, these drunken antics aren't genuine at all, just more excuses for attention seeking. I'm NEVER that bad when drunk and I really can't stand people who totally change their personalities and become uncontrollable when they are. | |

I think if everyone who actually wanted Eugene to win voted then he'd actually stand a chance - fact is though most people are going to vote Anthony for obvious reasons.

Fact is most of the contestants have ambitions to work in media after the show, so none of them are that far removed from 'actors'. Besides, if Makosi acted for the whole program, as long as it was entertaining, who cares? It may be seen as a sort of 'reality show' but first and foremost it's a GAMESHOW competition and in that sense, anything goes within the rules. Most contestants seem to see it as a 'life experience' but if I was in there, I'd be doing everything to eliminate the competition! I heard that Makosi was in trouble because her visa to this country from Nigeria was contingent on her working as a nurse, but since she's quit that job to do this, she is breaking the rules and could be exported. Anybody heard anymore on that? Geez, immigrants really take the piss sometimes in this country! I was shouting at the tv for Eugene to take the money too. £50 grand is better in your hands rather than watching Anthony taking it all and you going home empty handed. Although I hear that Eugene is currently favourite. Cool, it's always better when someone that doesn't expect to win it wins it. | |

[Edited 8/10/05 16:23pm] UPDATED: Link: http://bigbrother.digital...s8520.html Channel 4 has denied claims that Makosi is actually an actress employed to be on the show. The Sun "sensationally revealed" today that talent agency "Envenio" had invoiced BB production company Endemol for £609.68 - allegedly relating to Makosi's audition video. Despite the newspaper's claims of a "big con", both parties explained that the invoice was for a separate job relating to spinoff show Big Brother's Big Mouth, not involving Makosi. "Nothing untoward has gone on and Makosi went through the same audition process as anyone else," a spokesperson for Endemol insisted. A rep for Envenio admitted that Makosi was on their books after signing up through the company's website but denied that the invoice related to her. "As far as we know, Makosi is not an actress," Envenio chief executive Paul Booth told the BBC. "She signed up for our new faces section, which is for members of the public who aspire to be involved in the business. She put her details on our website. We emailed Makosi details of the Big Brother auditions, just like we emailed a lot of our members... it is no different to a company walking down the street looking for people. "The invoice is from our sister company, The Casting Suite, and was for a completely separate job we did for Endemol." A statement from Channel 4 read: "Makosi went through the same audition process as every other housemate and was not fast-tracked in any way. The Casting Couch invoice printed in today's Sun relates to the casting for Channel 4 on-air trails to promote Big Brother's Big Mouth." Updated: BBC NEWS Link:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/h...141556.stm Big Brother actress claim denied An agency has denied that Big Brother contestant Makosi Musambasi is an actress who they supplied for the show. Makosi placed her details on the Envenio website, which aims to help people get work in the media. Envenio admitted sending Makosi details of the Big Brother auditions, but denied making her audition tape or fast-tracking her into the house. Makosi is one of four finalists left in the house hoping to win a prize of £50,000 on Friday. The Sun newspaper has claimed a £609.68 bill was sent to the show's makers Endemol for studio hire, tapes, and photos - allegedly relating to Makosi's audition tape. The paper says it has a copy of an invoice from Envenio's sister company, The Casting Suite, to Endemol. But both Envenio and Endemol have said the invoice was for a separate job unrelated to the Big Brother housemates. A spokesman for Endemol said: "Nothing untoward has gone on and Makosi went through the same audition process as anyone else." Film extras Envenio chief executive Paul Booth denied the firm had made her a professional audition tape for Makosi. He said: "As far as we know, Makosi is not an actress. "She signed up for our new faces section, which is for members of the public who aspire to be involved in the business. She put her details on our website. "We emailed Makosi details of the Big Brother auditions, just like we emailed a lot of our members... it is no different to a company walking down the street looking for people. "The invoice is from our sister company, The Casting Suite, and was for a completely separate job we did for Endemol." Mr Booth said Envenio had supplied members of the public for a number of Channel 4 programmes, such as A Place In The Sun, and had supplied film extras. Channel 4 issued a statement which said: "Makosi went through the same audition process as every other housemate and was not fast-tracked in any way. "The Casting Couch invoice printed in today's Sun relates to the casting for Channel 4 on-air trails to promote Big Brother's Big Mouth." Craig Coates was unexpectedly evicted from the Big Brother house on Wednesday night, after getting just 4.1% of the public vote to win.
