Title: Big Brother Tour De France
Post by: ABlipInContinuity on 18 July, 2008, 02:19:14 pm: I'm surprised no one has posted on this!

The house mates from hell had some interesting techniques for staying comfy on the bike.

I'm happy to say I have not seen 1 second of BB this year.

Post by: LEE on 18 July, 2008, 02:32:12 pm: I watched it and was pretty depressed at sight of a bunch of so many young people who had absolutely no idea of how to ride a bike properly.

This was outweighed by the joy of watching so many spoiled and ignorant tossers suffering.

Was that an I- Magic thingy they were using?

It would take too long to explain but imagine asking 10 chimpanzees to ride 2 exercise bikes for 30 hours in turns

Edit. Or, for that matter, 10 typical Big Brother contestants

Post by: Maladict on 18 July, 2008, 07:56:11 pm: Actually I lied.

I may have actually seen as much as a few seconds by having had the Sky+ box switch on in Channel 4 after having watched or recorded something else. I switched channel as soon as I realised what I was watching... honest!
