Big Brother 2: Quote Book (Big Brother TV Series) Book

Sticking to the successful formula established by Big Brother: The Unseen Story, Big Brother 2 pursues the 2001 vintage on their mission to out-popularise each other for the nation's enjoyment. For a second summer in a row, Channel 4 served up a nightly diet of flirtation, intrigue and kitchen sink crisis to satisfy the public's insatiable appetite for voyeuristic thrills. Aside from the fact that Big Brother ushered in a genuinely new concept in TV entertainment, broke countless taboos and raised many serious issues among the frippery, its major success continues to be its ability to coax engrossing and coherent television out of a bunch of misfits with no experience of live performance. Once again, what really captured the imagination was the interaction of the characters and their shifting tensions and allegiances over the weeks cooped up in east London. There was nothing to rival the drama of Nasty Nick's kangaroo court this time around, but the introduction of Josh two weeks in provided a neat twist, dispelling the lazy comfort of a house gradually settling into its routine. All the events and fireworks are accounted for here, with insights from the inmates on every minutiae of house life from Josh's appearance to the Helen-and-Paul saga. Big Brother 2 charts the entire series taking us inside the minds of the participants and revealing the dynamics behind their sexual and power struggles. In a welcome addition, housemates from the original BB contribute their own thoughts and reminiscences. With exclusive access to the diaries of the contestants, it's your turn to play Big Brother. --Gala BrandRead More
