Weren’t they?
I suspect you probably do know why people waste their time watching this particular drivel. It’s not TV that’ll actually teach you much, or particularly enlightening viewing, but it is clearly very entertaining. There’s something addictive about watching people just getting on with their day, and listening to their conversations and heated debates. It’s even better when it’s people clinging onto shreds of famedom that they once had.
For the very reason that it is addictive, compulsive watching and turns into a bad habit, I chose not to watch anything past the first series.
Bit of a tangent, but there’s a reason I started watching again. Last summer I was having trouble sleeping (exams, revision, caffeine), and tuned into BB because nothing else was on. I saw a couple of minutes, and when I came to the conclusion that there couldn’t be two people like Shabaz in the world, realised he’s the guy from down the road. He used to hassle some of the staff at the union where I work, and gotten a little too close to some of us, including me (hassled me on the way home, and shouted my name from his flat window a couple of times when I walked past). And there he was on the TV, single-handedly nearly setting back gay and Muslim rights about ten years.
He’s got serious problems, but made enjoyable (if cruel) viewing. And I kept watching partly through the fear that he’d remember my name, and would recount some anecdote about throwing him out of the club on air.
I’ll admit it to myself, it is rubbish TV. But it’s really entertaining, there’s no point in pretending that you’re above it, so now I’ll just watch it. A guilty pleasure.
If, however, you are above watching it, then be proud. Maybe dont voice the fact that you are so vehemently in what wasn’t a discussion about the value of the show.
Easy - I have waaaay too much time on my hands. 
Tune into E4 then!
Yeah, me too. I don’t have the patience for the live feed, but it’s worth catching the highlights - last years George Galloway stuff was unbelievable car crash TV.
And when I read this quote “…says he cured himself of prostate cancer by eating a macrobiotic diet” I lost all respect for the original Starbuck.
