http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/06/Big-Brother-8-Premiere--Curiouser-and-Curiouser.aspx When BIG BROTHER debuted on CBS in the summer of 2000, it was promoted as a social experiment that eliminated the stresses of work and family and forced a small group of people to deal with each other by being locked in house for close to three months. The show was on six nights a week, and a professional therapist was employed to watch the houseguests carefully to gauge their mental state as they forged their way through this new, mini-society. After about three weeks of this, I&rsquo;m pretty sure not even the houseguests&rsquo; immediate families were still watching. Everybody hated it. So, the network tinkered and made changes. Each season the show evolved. Mostly, they made it racier. This season, there isn&rsquo;t one person with a gray hair. I&rsquo;m sure every guy at the BIG BROTHER auditions is asked to take off his shirt. What is that, hair? Flab? I&rsquo;m sorry, PIRATE MASTER auditions are down the hall. Next! The show is now for those of us who can&rsquo;t get enough of the REAL WORLD/ROAD RULES CHALLENGE; it is tight-bodied meatheads looking to stab one another in the back as quickly as possible. For the life of me, I can&rsquo;t explain it, but every summer I watch this dumb show. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/06/Big-Brother-8-Premiere--Curiouser-and-Curiouser.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/06/Big-Brother-8-Premiere--Curiouser-and-Curiouser.aspx#870 "not quite as exciting as gonorrhea"<br />I love Buzz Lightyear !
