Does anyone here watch it?
I used to think it was utter shite, but I've found myself watching it a bit recently. It can actually be pretty funny sometimes. However I do get the impression that most of them are being disingenuous most of the time and that they're just strategising.

I'm hoping that Jo will be evicted this week.

My son(4 3/4yo) watches it...

That's probably the only time I'm glad I don't live with him.

Personally, I can't bring myself to watch even 1 episode.

The first couple of times I saw it I didn't like it a bit, but it started growing on me once I got to know the people in it a bit better. At first I hated them all, but now I like a couple of them. Regina is funny because she's so goofy, and Dan is just plain funny. A couple of the others are okay but I still find the rest of them to be unlikeable.

Yep, I watch it (and I'm about 30 years older than mongrels son

). I know it's sinful, but I can't help it. Big Brother and Survivor are the only reality shows I'm addicted to.

She will be. Reggie's popularity is running at close to 50% and there is a reason that Daniel has survived 3 nominations. If Saxon had been nominated again, it would have been a close run thing, but as it is, Jo is doomed.

Yay! I just think she's generally full of shit and devoid of character. Not to mention leading on Saxon. It'll be good to see her gone.

When I read the OP I thought, "Wait, Big Brother 4 has started already?" but then I realized this must be an Australian version. *whew* The first season of the show here was terrible, but the second season was fabulous, and the third season was okay.

Yeah, the Australian one. We're only into our 3rd series.

I liked her at the start, but as the series has gone on, she's become more selfish. She won't get the sort of drubbing that Ben and Claire got, but I think she'll get about 50% of the votes. Reggie is almost a shoo-in to win the series.

Good to see that manipulative bitch gone.

I'm hoping Vincent and Patrick will go this week, because they're both boring and Vincent is a bit of an idiot.

I doubt that Pat will go, my money is on Vincent and Saxon or Kim.
