Not those b*******s

I really hope this years series is a vast improvement from last years and from this years Celeb BB

I doubt it will be. They know what to do to get attention so expect more of the same. It's desperate but it works.

Well, over in Australia Big Brother is weeks away, heres just one of the current promo's airing on Ten.

It's a tired, tired show - but yet it pulls in the ratings time and time again

especially the celebrity version....

Word is that the characters they select this year are going to be a little less 'volatile' than previous years - primarily due to the racism row...

As you've probably seen in The X Factor thread, Dermot is taking over so it looks likely we'll lose him from BBLB - as hosting a show six nights a week and covering the auditions during the Summer isn't really going to be possible.

Big Brother must be starting quite soon actually. I wonder who'll replace Russell and Dermot (if they leave).

It's beginning in May as usual.

Rumours suggest Alan Carr has been signed up to replace Russell - but I'm hoping if I ignore them they won't be true!


I'd tip Steve Jones as a likely candidate to replace Dermot - but Russell is trickier IMO. Justin Lee Collins is also mentioned - but I'm not a huge fan of him either.
