Can the Australian public really watch another Big Brother?

This question has been plaguing me ever since the advertising for series four started. Is the lure of the “secret” enough to get us tuning in night after night?

I, for one will not be watching, I occasionally tuned into the first series and as soon as I realised I wouldn’t get to see any of the psych sessions where they really break down, I quickly tuned out. I thankfully missed series two and series three interested me only because it happened to be on whilst I ate dinner once or twice a week.

The airing of series four disturbs me for some reason, are we really that enamoured of this series? Is the Australian viewing public really that boring?

The reality TV phenomenon is a joke; it’s strangely intriguing at first - who didn’t get a bit of a kick watching the beauty break all those hearts on Average Joe, who missed the first series of Survivor and who managed to escape from the coffee break chit chat about the first Big Brother? But now it seems that this so called “reality tv” is all that we can watch, channel flicking brings no relief and I suppose we can be grateful that they haven’t started to show re-runs of the first series so we can relive the magic. *puke*
