Big not bothered

The Big Brother housemates must be wondering what news they're missing in the outside world... Well, here's some for them; their antics have bored the British public so much that C4 have decided to axe the show

Davina McCall, pack your bags and get ready to leave the house... Channel 4 have confirmed rumours today that Big Brother will come to an end next year.

I think 2007 winner Brian Belo sums up how we are all feeling:

"For someone who has watched the show from day one and is still an avid fan, I think it's safe to say it's a sad day for reality TV. The show will leave a lasting legacy in British television. As of yesterday, I had only just finished viewing all of the episodes of my 2007 year, so it's really bizarre that the morning after I have watched my full series that Big Brother has been axed! I would like to think that another channel could see the benefits of having a show like Big Brother and that this popular programme can continue in some form."

Shed a tear a take a stroll through the very worst bits...

  • The Australian Big-Brother got axed in 2007 and they really did axe it, they had to get out of the house, the day they axed it! Reality television is soooooo annoying now you know they are just actors pretending not to be actors most of them have been axed now and thank god for that I am a bit of a bummer but I refuse to watch good looking people try and be interesting and funny when they are not, its just maddening and you just want to watch that documentory on competitions about giant vegetables!

  • Fucking epic news in my opinion, and a long time coming, if only for the fact it's one less opportunity for me to come across* more needy egotistical fuckwits and that gurning shouty cunt McCall on telly. If there is a personification of fingernails down a blackboard it's this smug, overpaid and overexposed former junkie whore.

    "Davina - can you enter the diary room for your P45?"

    Class. Next thing we need is for the Endemol offices to be firebombed so they don't inflict any more shit like this.

  • By another tv channel,you mean one of the satellite/cable outfits that only scum watch,therefore sparing the normal people from being exposed to this dross. ( I said exposed -fnarr fnarr)

  • Still quite a cynical attention grabbing ploy, if you ask me. Ratings are through the floor so they announce that the current series will be the penultimate one, while its still running. Thus grabbing the headlines and probably bringing straggling viewers back in for this series. Cunts, if you ask me. And in reality, this announcement today means nothing, it simply means channel 4 wont be screening it. Endemol will just sell it to another tv channel.

  • It's hardly been 'axed'. The contract was up and channel 4 (rightly) won't be renewing it, since not even the bummers can be bothered to watch now. And they'll watch ANYTHING.

  • What, no more summers with "kar-a-zee" fucknuts mowing the lawn in the nip or sticking gin bottles up their chuff? Sounds like a good thing, though it will probably mean more stories about that cave-fannied harridan Jordan than less.

  • The revolution starts here people. Finally they are realising that people are sick to death of gormless dipshit cunts in the public eye. So - roll on phase 2 - ignoring Katie Fucknut Price.

  • Sorry, was thinking of the other Lesley. That's what I get for trying to be a smart arse, I suppose. You're still shit though.
