I absolutely cannot stand Big Brother.
In the first instance this morning, I’m glad I got up 45 minutes early today as the bastards at Channel 4 have moved Everybody Loves Raymond (starts at 7:30am) back a bit to 6am, and replaced that, whatever used to be on before and Just Shoot Me with this absolute crap called Big Brother. For obvious reasons, we watched Everybody Loves Raymond, then turned the telly off.
I’m not sure if this will happen every day whilst Big Brother is on, but if it does I will not be happy. My morning “ritual” consists of waking up slowly at 7:30am, pottering to the kitchen to put the kettle on, turn the telly on and watch Everybody Loves Raymond, have a few giggles at the jokes, and have some cereal. I then get dressed during the ad break, and come back to watch the first 15 minutes of Just Shoot Me. It’s not great TV viewing, but it’s light-hearted, sometimes funny, and very easy watching.
I feel like this massive ogre who just wants to infect me with it’s puss-infested hands has come along and started strangling me and slobbering all over the telly, putting me in a downright foul mood in the morning.
Well done Channel 4, you’ve ruined my mornings.
I’ve also found this article which also rants about Big Brother (admittedly an older series, but the same still applies), and I agree with every word said in it. Read and weep, Channel 4. You may be getting high viewings, but the viewers with any intelligence have stopped watching.
And by the way, if you’re reading this and you like Big Brother (although you probably will have stopped reading by now), I hope you drown*.
* Not really, I wouldn’t want anyone to die really, I’d just prefer it if Big Brother stopped being aired.
