Me neither, I was expecting it to be better

Hoping maybe more satire will shine through now the characters have been introduced. Providing I remember to watch it tomorrow of course

I enjoyed it, excellent premise... however I found the acting terribly wooden and forced last night which made it difficult to get involved in the story.

I think this is because its set in a "familiar" scenario - i.e live TV big brother eviction. You just CAN'T script and act the spontaneity that housemates show in "real life" Big bro, so unfortunately it ALL seemed OTT and fake.
However, now things have moved on from a familiar situation into real fiction territory, I think I'll cringe less at the acting and get more engrossed in the story.

Not sure what to make of it really. Kind of enjoyed it mainly because of the "real life" setting but also found it slow and a touch boring, hence flicking between it and Mock the Week. Acting was a bit cack and the producer guy was just way OTT.

Will probably watch it again and see how it takes off.

Have to say I wasn't over excited about it - might watch tonight and see if it picks up.

Pumpkinstew · 28-10-2008, 14:31

Quite liked it. I'll certainly try and watch the rest of the week.

It must be like a Brooker wet dream to physically put a bunch of former Big Brother contestants in one room and then watch them get torn limb from limb.
I was a bit disappointed we didn't see more of that. Maybe none of the buggers screamed convincingly and they all ended up on the cutting room floor.
