I have taken it upon myself to start the official Big Brother 2008 thread.
Personally, I can't wait for this shit to begin. It is the only thing that gets me through the winter, apart from alcohol of course.
Obviously they're trying to get people with opinions on things other than boobs and blow jobs into the mix this year (see Pauline Hanson-loving Terri, the first housemate to be revealed). And it'll be interesting to see how our new, brain-dead hosts fare.
Love it, hate it, analyse it here!

Fuck, don't make this fucking thread.
Too late!
Fuck.
If I hadn't done it, someone else would have, I can assure you.
''Just Don't Look, Just Don't Look!''
'Party boy' Corey is rumoured to be a housemate.
Isn't that just horrible?
If by 'horrible' you mean really fucking rad, yes.
I'm predicting people will be ''shocked'' by the new housemates.
I'm also predicting that yet again I will be sucked into it's gaping maw of idiocy yet again despite my attempts to stay away from it every year.
I predict that you will become stupider as a result.
I predict I will feel moments of intense self-loathing at many points during the season. These feelings will reach their apex during the drawn out finale show.
I predict I will watch with detached bemusement, before finding out who the last four housemates are, and actually wondering who will ''win''
it can actually be quite enlightening
i enjoy giving my amature psychology skills a workout
''feel moments''? Uh, ok.
(x-post)
Bogans taking over the fucking world. Jackie O, Kyle, Fitzy, Bree, now Corey all on the one show. God help us all.
uncut version at all in the works?
Bree's with Bodie (from last year), by the way. Saw them in the social pages over the weekend.
I am READY for this season. READY. I have a rule; I decide day one who my favourite is, and I follow them passionately without regard for any incoming data. I stop watching when they are evicted.
Its like horse-racing, but the self-loathing can't spell.
Bodie.
FFS whatever happened to normal names like Steve?
I predict my fury at the mere mention of this show.

Peaches, I understand about intellectual property in TV formats. And I know 9 had a bad experience with The Block.
But it makes absolutely zero sense to say ''we're only looking to buy it if someone else is interested''. They'll pay more because of a bidding war and the logic that ''because another network is interested it will rate well'' is just crazy.
hey, leave Channel 9 alone! they're professionals. they'd never fuck their station up so much that people would rather watch C7.. oh wait!!
I agree bv, but that's the crazy world of television for ya! Jackie O has screwed up 4 of channel 10's reality shows and they still put her on a flagging show that desperately needed ratings. If you're really perplexed I can find the article and scan it for you? I'm pretty underworked today..
If you aren't busy Peaches I'd be interested (but only if you're not busy)
Not at all, that post above sounded kinda sarcastic.. Give me 15..
When did this happen? I've heard nothing about this?
i thought i saw terri crossing the road in lower plenty this arvo.
fuck. it all flooded back.
That Rihanna chick who gave some dreadlocked numbnut a handjob works at the Commonwealth on Enmore Rd.
This bird:

head like a hat full of arseholes though.
u can block her head with the back of yr hand, and then just go nuts with the other.
I miss Big Brother. There, I said it.
''but it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. he had won the victory over himself. he loved Big Brother.''
I miss BB Uncut. Always have. Always will.
Oh the turkey slap, it will go down in history as one of the best moments in television
