Well, its like I said here before, she's only a young girl and a bit of an eegit, she's not Hitler, which is why its kinda silly for grown politicians to be getting involved in arguments about game shows. But its showbiz, and its easy to take it too seriously. It was defeintly an interesting TV week though.

Cynical of me i know Theia but i saw her realizing she'd cocked up and all that she was about to lose.

Well, thats that, she didn't break down in the studio anyway, hopefully that will be the end of that and lessons learned all round eh? Interesting show, but I've had enough for one year, thats 2 episodes I've watched now. Anyone got any opinions?

Whose shebaz? Is that the Indian girl? Well we would probably have to shoot them all to be fair, including the producers, and the people writing the newspapers, and probably ourselves for giving a monkeys about any of it!

Shebaz was the Gay Scottish Asian loser from the last series who keeps popping up for 1 minute appearances on several shows that need someone who epitomises how crap Big Brother is

Yes, it kinda does, but just like a little squidy pop before you freeze solid in about 60 seconds because its minus 271 degrees celsius out there, its a vacuum, and there is no pressure so your liquids, boil, gasify, expand, freeze, its generally not very nice. Your eyes would also freeze solid, your blood boil, and your lungs would collapse, and all that, but it would all happen in a matter of seconds so you know, there are probably worse ways to go. The most important thing is, when you are out space walking, make sure and put your suit on.

No, NASA is a fantastic scientific/research/exploration driven organization that does an enormous amount of great work and you should be very proud of it. Your politicians are always laying into it, and it makes me sad, yes it does make mistakes and all that, and its a public organization with all that implies, but NASA signifies all that is best about America in my opinion, just don't put Jade on the space shuttle, she's already gotten enough exposure for one lifetime!

We all have our likes and dislikes when it comes to entertainment....we're all SO lucky when you think about it....we have so many choices.

Read, watch and take part in whatever gives you pleasure Theia. I would watch BB and 'I'm a celebrity' if there were interesting people there.

I like makeover programmes...People and Homes....sit for hours just waiting for the 'REVEAL'

I've always watched BB every year, but I just can't get into the celeb version for some reason, (though why you call most of these people celebrities really is beyond me!)

As for this whole racist row, it's a shame that any of this had to emerge, just because good old Jade Goody had to open her huge mouth and if anyone remembers BB3 then boy can she go off on one. I did hear though that since this debate started that the figures for the nightly show have soared, and I guess that is no surprise.

Have you ever lurked on the Channel 4 BB forum, Chris? Since last week, you have to register and log on, which I have done and do, but it can be quite informative if you pick through the posts.

Well that doesn't surprise me Theia. I used to go on the C4 BB forum, but the posts by the latter series started getting more and more silly, so I stopped doing so. I still occassionally look at some of the unofficial BB forums and as you say you can read some very interesting debates on the housemates in there.

You looking forward to the new series?

Yep should be sometime in the next few months. I'm just hoping for a good a series as last year, with a good mix of characters and tasks to complete.

As for the threads you are right, I only look at the ones that have a lot of responses, as some of the others can just be plain boring or be about the same topic all the time. I was amazed, but pleased that the show is still running, but with viewing figures like they have I'm not surprised!
