Pinoy Big Brother
"Picture this: You will live in a house where TV, radio, newspapers, phonelines and mobile phones are non-existent. Will you survive this lifestyle?"
Such is the line from the new hit reality game show Pinoy Big Brother. Pinoy Big Brother, as the title suggests, is a local spin-off of the popular Big Brother franchise. There has been alot of local reality shows that have been aired recently and this one is totally different. 12 people lives under one roof for 100 days and see who'll survive to win P1Million, a House and lot and a brand new car. Two (2) have already been eliminated, one (1) voluntarily exits the house and a new one is added replacing the one who exited.
People had mixed feelings about the show because it's a totally different new concept for local television. Some say that Pinoy Big Brother is scripted. Some say that it'll never work. To be perfectly honest, I didn't quite like the idea of the show. But after watching a few episodes, it gets to be interesting. It's funny because it's like you're eavesdropping in the private lives of these contestants. The problem with this concept is the contestants, once they get comfortable with each other, will show their true self. Some turned out to be good natured, yet some, well, let's just say, is too good to be true. Hehehe...
One time, the MTRCB, Movie Television Review & Classification Board, has ordered the suspension of the show for exhibiting scenes that were, according to them, unfit for a PG classification. Pinoy Big Brother complied and got a 1 day suspension. For me, I think, they should've seen this one coming. If they really don't have control over the contestants, it's bound to happen that things would get rowdy inside the house one way or the other. Even if there is a Big Brother lording over the contestants, what they do in their free time in the house is way beyond his hands. You see, the show that's aired during primetime weekdays is already edited. Though, they do show it live every midnight and if you subscribe, you'll get to watch the whole show unedited and live over the cable. Cool? Well, sort of. There goes their privacy. Hehehe.
Anyway, I don't usually get to watch the show. When I get home from work, I'm usually too tired to watch tv anymore. Instead, I keep track of the show thru their website. I know it's not as exciting as watching it in TV, but just by reading the latest on what's going on in the house is enough.
Bounce!

Well, dito medyo laos na yung Big Brother after four seasons of it. :P I guess it's always novel the first time. ;)
well, yeah, most shows are good when they're aired for the first time. knowing the filipino audience, one is enough unless they get to join in one. ;)
