eversince the Philippine version of the big brother house was introduced in our country, our family became fans. and became an instant hit in the country. some winners became celebrities and some easily forgotten. it is now the second season of the show. this season it is a celebrity edition - wherein the houseguests were celebrities - actors, actresses, models, beauty queens and the lot. lately i noticed that some of big brother's houseguests have "psychological problems". and that they joined the show to "rehab" themselves. its disturbing looking at these "disturbed-people-lives". its not fun. it robbed off the entertainment, because it exposes the dark side of the houseguests.
one is a has-been actor (drunkard), who has an ego-bigger-than-himself. he's so paranoid. there's a comedian who bawled in front of the national tv because the housemates could not ride-her-brand-of-comedy. another a has-been sexy star who has undergone everything in plastic surgery and is a maneater. then the beauty queen, who is sooo perfect. she cannot stand if her task is not done right.a nother is a commercial model who is stoic and a dead pan expression on his face. then an actress/mother who is bent on giving everything for her family. she left her house to stay with big brother, while her husband who's-also-a-has-been let her!
big brother's houseguest doesn't encourage or inspire us to keep on watching the show. we have so many problems in our day-to-day life that watching the houseguests problematic lives only depressed us. further, the novelty wears off because anybody-can-now-enter-and-leave-the house-and-went-in-again. its sooo tiring. where's the exclusivity of big bros house? as a viewer, i want to see a lighthearted show that i can laugh and enjoy and compare my life to the houseguests.not a psycho laden one!!!
