[...] In addition to that, I should also add that I have put together a post for the Aussie Bloggers Blog about one of the subjects which I kind of fancy my talents – reality TV (little that I thought I’d be a pseudo expert on the subject, but really, all you need to do to become one is watch the show. ). I talked about how the first couple of weeks of the new series of Big Brother is going. My opinion – definitely for the better. [...]

I pretty much agree with your summaries of the housemates. When watching Dixie and Rebecca saying they wanted to go, I was yelling at the TV for them to actually leave. All the sympathy seeking with wanting to go annoys me a lot.

I’m happier with the format and despite my initial misgivings about the new hosts I like the way they mention stuff that’s happening in the media – eg Rima’s p*rn photos etc. It makes it all a bit more transparent.

Oh my! I loathe this show with a passion. I want it to end

Thing is though Jayne, they are only on the eviction show. They aren’t on Big Mouth (which I really enjoyed last week), nor are they on any of the daily shows so you can safely enjoy the majority of the BB showcase without watching them.

I’m finding the mix of people much better this year and I’m liking the new show formats better, I just wish they’d bring back Uplate!

Interesting summary, Sephy.
I’m not a fan of the show but your post has piqued my interest.
Can’t stand ~~Vile~~ Kyle Sandilands and Jackie Ho O, so it’ll probably be a very quick channel surf via the remote – if I can prise it from The Spouse’s fingers!
