Big Brother stretching the limits?

It always stroke me as odd that no-one attempted to kill somebody else on Survivor.

You're all on a stranded island, no food, no shelter, who's going to stop you? And what do you have to lose? You're in the middle of nowhere where rattlesnakes are your neighbors and rats are your pillows, you definitely don't want to hear some idiot's vicous gossip about someone else or the whore trying to get pounded meanwhile she's more dirty then a pig in the mudpile..

Probably the many cameramen, studio executives, lawyers, caterers, medical staff, security staff, production managers, and cetera.

You do realize it is a t.v. show that puts people in a contrived situation and that there's t.v. staff all over the place don't you?

Someone should make a real life situation out of the Battle Royale film. Drop people on an island and give them all a random weapon, the survivor gets to go home. Of course, danger zones would have to be included.

That would be pretty sweet.

There is one guy, and I forget his name but he does a show all by himself( him and his camera/video..) as a survivor in many places........only him and his camera.....on the Discovery or Science channel I think..........Survivor man maybe????

On this years UK big brother they should put a convicted cannibal serial killer in the house just to liven things up a bit.

Anybody else want to join in on that suggestion before it gets so old and used that it becomes a protected relic?

-AC

perhaps have some down right evil challenges...

Like they have to drown a bag full of kittens for there food that week...

Big brother sucks big balls. I don't mean to insult but anyone who gets enjoyment out of this show is a moron or retarded (No insults to those who do have mental problems)

It is perhaps the lowest of lowbrow 'reality tv' shows. Stooping to pathetic levels to garner ratings. If i were honestly given the chance i would murder every single producer of that god-forsaken show.

Big brother , i hate your guts.....

The problem might not lay on the side of the producers of these shows, but with the people that find entertainment in them.
TV-producers are often immoral leeches, but as they can find an audience for just about every kind of crap they put on, the real issue is with the viewers that support their shows.

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?

Yes it is.

The things which are done in the name of entertainment and television, would never be allowed on 'moral' grounds, to be done in the name of science.

Reality TV Show WRITERS Threatened Strike in 2005

An excerpt:

Just want to point out that in the story they call themselves writers, but what they actually do is make a story out of the raw footage. So they compile what is recorded, not tell people what to do in the scenes...

Perhaps if they did employ actual writers, it would be a little more interesting. Though then they would just be soaps, I guess. Both bore me.
