That wasn't the romantic ending we were expecting.

Sorry - I already have my romantic ending...

A kindrid spirit Isadora , hope he sells your house for you at a good price

Did you both like the same HM's?....

He liked Victor which was very good. Couldn't STAND JohnJames and I forgot to ask him who his very favourite ones were..

I very rarely talk of my addiction. All too often it's met with derision .........................I think people actually pretend to hate it. Me .......i just avoid bringing it up in conversation .......it's a bit of a guilty secret! As for being a member on a BB forum  I think it's only very close family that know.

Go on tell the world.  It's over now (as far as we know anyway).

Same here Sooz but do you know what - as I get older I just don't care anymore..

My stock answer is .... people watch soaps, some of them are pretty awful. I like reality TV so suck it up

*stands up*   *coughs* *shuffles feet*   * looks down at shoes*


Good evening my name is Soozy Woo and I am a reality TV addict.

Yeah but ..........I watch soaps too

Start a club Soozy i will join

Do you know what girls.. I don't care what people think anymore!
I LIKE BB
I LIKE the X Factor..

all of it - I am not proud.

Thats the game Isadora, stand up and be proud

I don't like the x factor, but I like strictly, so there, I'm in the club.

I'll make my mind up on X Factor.....I'm currently watching it  and I used to watch SCD a few years ago but prefer DOI

Lordy I have met with so much abuse for watching BB - even during my summer holiday my father ranted about me watching it and how those that do must be terminally stupid. I told him I felt the same way about the Daily Express which he buys, the Antiques Roadshow and that quiz show with Ann Thingy my parents watch avidly every day.  

In the office one of the secretaries who fancies herself somewhat as an all round gourmand and culture vulture shakes her head and tells me she doesn't understand how someone so smart could lower herself to watch BB. Then she witters on about Corrie, Four Weddings (NOT the film as I found out last week) and The Mistresses (??).

Each to their own - I don't slag off her viewing choices and don't understand why she feels she can comment on mine. 

The fact is she probably dislikes BB for the same reasons I do. I adored the early years and loathed the media wannabe element that crept in from BB5 on, But I still kept watching - although perhaps not as rigorously as before. All she knows is the stuff she's read about in the celebrity magazines she reads and which I don't. All I'm bothered with is what the HM do in the house. Once they're gone they're gone as far as I'm concerned.

Ditto col....

I'm with you on that. I watch the 12 or 13 weeks and love all the interaction.

Then ...........they've done their job..............if they get something out of of good for them. I never buy the mags etc.

When it's over it's over as far as I'm concerned.

Oh I know Cariad  there is a smug superiority about these people and yet they will watch every bit of pap avidly.
And the interesting thing is there are some very clever and well read people that watch BB - I know a lot of tweenies watch it but it has a die hard core of fans from all walks of life.

Same here Sooz - when they are out of the house I don't give them another thought

Absolutely Isadora ... I was having a natter about it with my hairdresser today (she watches, sorry she used to watch it too - got to use the past tense now I guess   conscious of the rolling eyes from the bloke in the chair next to us.

In short, some of the smartest, most interesting, funniest people I have ever met either online or in RL have been staunch BB fans. And many of them are now friends of mine regardless of any BB link but I'd never have met with without BB.

Sooz - my son was 5 when BB started. He's just turned 16 and wants to be a behavioural psychologist. I can't help but worry BB every year might have helped turn him. 

My name is Moomin and I'm a reality TV-aholic. I shall need help to get over my withdrawal symptoms in the next few weeks.
And yes, I too am ridiculed for my addiction, and very ashamed to admit it in public circles,
