Celebrity Big Brother is Back. Aren't we all excited?



Davina is dressed in black, its raining, there are banners screaming the words 'GET [add most hated celebrity's name here] OUT!], and a handful of anxious, slightly nauseous celebrities are waiting in some unknown location for the imminent boos that await them. I think we all know what this means. Celebrity Big Brother is back. And it's taking its final curtain call.

It doesn't matter what your opinion on Big Brother is (but I'm sure if you are tutting right now it is the wrong one), it has given British Television some classic, funny moments that will go down in the TV record books. Those pompous arrogant tits who feel it necessary to constantly slate the entertainment programmes that millions of us enjoy and are doing not a shred of harm need to go back to BBC 1 where they belong. Nobody is forcing them to watch Big Brother, or Dancing on Ice, or the X Factor. They are very welcome and completely within their rights to sit in their bright, airy, middle-class living rooms whilst watching a period drama with a glass of red wine and a nibble of stilton. But let the rest of us slum it with Davina and watch not so 'famous faces' shouting at one another and getting drunk on a bottle of cider before snogging the nearest human being (male or female) in a game of  'spin-the-bottle'. Because lets face it, its piss-your-pants funny.
However, the arrogant berks have got their way and this year we will be waving goodbye to that much loved programme. But, I must hasten to add, it will be going out with a bang.

Settling down in my living room for what can only be described as an evening of: 'He's an actor right? Whats he in? The Cilit Bang ad? Yeah, thats it. I like him, I like his face.'
All the Celebs are in, and I am sufficiently under-whelmed. However, this is not a rare occurance, it happens every year. By the end of the lauch show I am sobbing, 'I miss Michelle Heaton', but by the end of the Final its more a case of 'OH MY LIFE, THEY WILL NEVER TOP THAT'. How fickle I am.

In any case its going to be a good series. Especially with Big Brother PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS. Stay tuned for more opinions.
