Big Brother - They're all actors! Posted Thu Aug 10 12:48:45 BST 2000 by Boris Carpark

That's the latest rumour, anyway. All started with the revelation that the 'Nicholas' one is a C4 employee planted into the show to stir things up a bit. Which he is. But it seems they're *all* in on it, including the press.

Compulsive viewing my arse. Thoughts, anyone?

Apparently Nicholarse has smuggled a mobile phone in there. Hope they shoot the bastard, with his smug 'Tim-Nice-But-Dim' phizog.

Where has this theory that Nicholas is a C4 employee come from?

And how could he possibly smuggle a phone in without assistance from C4? Unless he's had it from the beginning, in which case why hasn't he used it yet.

Why do I care?

How can you say bad things about Nicholas? He is the only one in there who deserves to win - for having the brains and cunning to noy get nominated buy the other bunch of twats - surely a safer way to ensure success? Thank god caroline has gone , and nichola soon i hope. I talked to someone at work tonite from my old school who said that caroline was sweet, and deserved to win. That just about proves my point (if you knew the people from my old school).

isn't this the whole point of the show? Are any of them not like this? I apologize as I haven't been able to stomach more than 90 seconds of it. Does it have (gulp) hidden depths?

Caroline! Noooooo! The whole point of Big Brother was to have pathetic wannabes playing up to the cameras...without Caroline there is no entertainment factor.

I only started to watch Big Brother because I thought it would be like the book, but no, there's no 2 minutes hate, there's no weekly saccharine tablets, it's all a huge dissappointment but sadly for me, it's just too late. At least they got the brainwashing factor right.

If they were real people, they'd all look/sound *far* more incoherent and disorientated on point of eviction. Caroline's open-mouthed response to Nick's behaviour was far too neat and actressy.

Oh dear me Ben. No. You are very wide of the mark indeed. What sort of person would go on a show like big brother - one with no depth.(that was a fullstop)
In reply to the message that said that caroline provided an entertainmnet factor - there's only so much cringing that I can take and call enjoyable. Nicholas is great, he does things in a subtle and interesting way - not singing 'it's only a gameshow' to the cameras. Face it - caroline must die a long and painful death, only then will Nick have completed his plan and take his rightful placa as reigning supreme leader of oceania. Ha ha - see that was a joke? Like big brohtre in 1984? Aha ah aha. Please someone hold me down while i kill myself. (peter o'hanrahanrahnan would be my choice)

Perhaps the very fact that big brother is interesting is because the people in it aren't. If you have to shout that you're mad, then you're dull.

The ironic thing about "Big Brother" is that it proves that Huxley, not Orwell, was right - we're not doomed to a future of totalitarian state control, but rather to amuse ourselves to death with vapid "entertainment".
It's quite good, though, I think.

London Evening Standard; Wed 16 August:
'London agency Avalon PR was appointed in April, three months before the programe began to support C4 press in planning a PR strategy.'
' "At the beginning, we were trying to place stories in the media; now it's snowballed-we're amazed at how much copy there is," ...Avalon PR' in the same article.

So basically, that proves that it is a tacky, over-hyped, stage-managed piece of <expletive>, which fits neatly with the actors theory - and that C4 really have found new ways to scrape the barrel. I have not watched the show and still have no intention of doing so, thank you.

Have to say I haven't seen the show at all, and haven't been the slightest bit interested in it. However, a big cheese at Channel Four just phoned my boss, and he's just come out into our office and said, "(X) just phoned me. He said there's been a fist-fight on Big Brother, and Craig's punched Nicholas. It's going to be on the show tomorrow night!"

I'm still not the slightest bit interested in the show, but I thought I'd share that.
