Big Brother ? Not bothered

I've watched Big Brother for years , I've watched all of the 'civilian' ones and only missed one 'celebrity' edition but has it had its day?

Many people said that Channel 5 should never have resurrected it but I don't agree. I thoroughly enjoyed last years series and thought it was up there with some of the best.

Obviously the show has changed significantly from series one, I remember Craig , Caggy etc not actually knowing if anyone would actually be watching this 'social experiment' but the over the years the participants have all got agents and managers before they enter the house , some have previous experience with the media and many have an agenda to be the next big thing when they exit the house.

It has become a platform , much like The X Factor or Britain's Got Talent to launch careers and I'm not sure this is a great thing. The ladies know they will get a Zoo or Nuts feature on their departure and the guys might get noticed for their talent , be it music , sport or just being good looking !!

This year I had favourites on the first couple of nights . I liked Dan , the policeman , also Woolfy , Jack 'n' Joe , Sam  and Michael ( who turned out to be an actor ). I took an instant dislike to Dexter , Gina , Sallie and the Mother & daughter duo , Jackie and Charlie.

Now that it has been running for a while I still like Dan but also find Gina funny in a 'Nicky Graham' kind of way , I can't figure out Callum and I feel Sam is too quiet to win. The twins have turned into whingers , Michael has gone and Woolfy , an early favourite, turned out to be nothing like I first thought. I still find Dexter a bit creepy and still stick by my original feelings towards Jackie & Charlie.

So who do I want to win this year ??

Errrmm , good question , and one that I don't really have an answer to . I don't have strong enough feelings towards any of this years housemates and quite frankly I don't actually care at this point who wins .

Obviously this may change due to plot twists and turns but it's not looking likely. I have even missed several episodes this year , something that would never have happened in previous series .

Maybe it is the end of the road for Big brother but I suspect that while the phone lines still keep raking in the money they will flog it to the death xxx
