I'm not a fan of Channel 4's Big Brother. I watched the first couple of series because it was new and it was a good ice-breaker at work. I caught this years circus a couple of nights ago whilst channel hopping before the late night footie and I have to say it's developed into the strangest programme since Naked News finished. It was the diary room and some poor girl, whose name I didn't catch, but who was obviously in a state of emotional distress, went on a ten minute rant than consisted of the following words "I'm not two faced, I don't suck arseholes, I just want the fuck out of here, they can fuck off the whole fucking lot, they are all c**ts." Followed by the phrase "I don't suck arseholes," repeated half a dozen times and then the "I'm not two faced," riff.

All 'Big Brother' could contribute were the comforting (sic) words "take all the time you need."

It was the visual equivalent of a guitarist not letting go of a riff and I can see why people are hooked.
