Big Brother stretching the limits?
Like last year' s Dutch version, the new Flemish Big Brother house features a woman who is seven months pregnant, raising the possibility she will give birth live on television in about 60 days, if she is not voted out of the house. The Big Brother house has also become home to the first HIV-infected contestant.
The show has received a wave of criticism and has been accused of exploiting the birth to boost its ratings.
Is Big Brother stretching the limits?
I have to agree with Bardock here, but no its not really stretching the limits, its not breaking any laws, and the ratings will show if people will appreciate this new turn of events or not. Afterall Big Brother doesn't care why they get ratings as long as they get ratings and if this gets them that, then they will be happy.
Never watched it myself.
agree that the show sucks, but they already have live birth shows on the Discovery Health channel. These shows are also complete with blood flying everywhere and don't break for a Toyota commercial every five minutes, too.
Yeah...I watch those shows..........I like all the gory medical shows.......
Italy's Big Brother showed last week one competitor that mentioned the question "Dove il cellulare?" (Where is the cell-phone).
They later (some 2 hours) showed him with what appeared to be AN ACTUAL CELLPHONE in his hand. So much for Reality! TV.
Big Brother is completly fake and a coreographed show.
Do not Watch Big Brother ! Do not Pay for anything that has to do with it.
Reality TV Show WRITERS Threatened Strike in 2005
An excerpt:
The Bachelor and its ilk are cads.
So goes a class-action lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles by 12 writers for reality TV shows such as The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and The Real Gilligan's Island.The complaint charges that reality TV factories violated a host of California labor laws by overworking, underpaying and even underfeeding the workers who scripted their ostensibly unscripted fare by building storylines from hours and hours of raw footage.
