I have never watched the show. I will sound like a complete moron here, but I prefer question time on the ABC. At least it shows how the country works/attempts to work/breaks down.
I don't watch it, for easy amusement. I do enjoy the show, but in no way am I obsesed with it.

Each to their own I guess. I don't like watching the Football or Cricket, as I can find other things to do with my time.

I take your point.

But there are people who sit and stare at the TV blankly.
In a time where there are major occurrences in Australia and abroad such as war, famine, drought etc. I find it downright pathetic that "educated Australians" spend more time worrying about who farted in bed on Big Brother than how we are to solve some of the world's problems, or what is happening beyond TV.

The only things I like on 10 are the footy and The Simpsons. I call 10 the Idiot Channel.

That is an overly exaggerated pessimistic comment. We could copy and paste that sentence and use it everywhere all over the forums and relate it to any topic. We cannot worry 100% of the time about real problems, we would drive ourselves crazy, we all need down time. How we each spend our downtime is our own business. I find people who don't like the show are hugly critical and demeaning of the people that find it somewhat amusing/interesting.

It was a good social experiment, now it is just a business. I'm gonna use the show as motivation to exercise more and get some work done on the car. The wife loves it, so I am always gonna hear / see bits of it.

Point taken.

What is funny is I don't watch the Footy or Simpsons much anyway. They are just the only two shows I watch. <1 hour a week on channel 10. (about 2 hours elsewhere)

I spend more time here. Or I go out.

Cheers!

They were tossing up between two catchphrases.

Bored people sitting at home watching bored people sitting at home. :\

I really don't give a rats about BB being on, I just hate that it takes over the channel. It annoyed me that much that I decided to tune into Channel BT instead. Don't have to sit and watch this absolute drivel run overtime for 30 mins to catch House, already have all the latest episodes. Win Win situation!
