newcritics: This is the Last Time I Am Going to Mention Big Brother (Really)

Tom Watson · 2 years ago

Steve - clearly, this outcome (great as you say) wasn't scripted or planned by the organizers, but it was exploited. what does this say about the reality genre?

with exception to war reportage, 'reality television' is an oxymoron anyway, surely?

anyway ... it was certainly interesting to witness that the only cultured, civilised people on the show were jermaine and shilpa. one should include ken russell i suppose, but he represents britain from a different era - many modern britons are sadly being truly depicted by the utterly vacuous 'three witches' we witnessed in CBB.
