Yeah, but all they knew about you was your name. How many other Goro's are out there?

If I'd rang up Nova that day & used my board name, They'd be like "Pulse isn't a real name" . I've found that it's always better to use a fake name than a real one - More Fun!

I know I shocked Trunks the other day when I mentioned this over at Seibertron, and I will admit it, I do watch Big Brother.

Though the last few years it's pretty much been the first show so I can check out the house design and any potential eye candy (oh look, another bunch of 20 something blonde bimbos, i'll try again next year!).

This year though I have watched a bit more, mostly to see this "Nobbi" guy suffer.

But for those who think Ten keep bringing it back because it's a ratings success, it's anything but. BB hasn't been big in the ratings for a number of years. They bring it back because of the money they make from people voting.

It started off you'd vote for who you wanted to evict after they were nominated. Then they discovered they could make more money by introducing the option to either evict or save those nominated.

This year it's completely different. Everyone is nominated and you vote for the one you want to save with the house mates deciding who to evict out of the bottom three.

Currently there's 12 people to vote for. In the past it was rare for more than 4 people to be voted for. So no doubt they'll make a bucket load more money from the votes, combined with their "premium membership" for the VIP section on the website (where they offer uncensored live streaming ... which is crap because it's apparently censored and drops out regularly) and their attempt to reinvent the show with less adult themes and Gretel, then it'll no doubt be around for a few more years yet.

Seriously, since the introduction of Big Brother back in 2001 Channel 10 are now turning a profit. Before that they were struggling to survive. Love it or hate it, BB has actually saved Channel 10 from death. Whether that's a good thing or not I don't know, but it certainly offers an alternative to Seven and Nine.

wouldn't it be cool if G1 Brawl and Mr T smashed their way in there!

Same goes for Idol too. Dance was a smashing success, but the voting $$$ certainly doesnt hurt the hip pocket.

You can call the people who make Big Brother many things, but stupid is not one of them. They know how to best get attention for themselves and make themselves a cash load of moolah to boot. Advertising isnt cheap, and to have as many naming right sponsors as they do provides them with the cash they need to run such an expensive show.

Turn off the TV and go for a walk outside d:

Ulp, I'm afraid I'm part of the angry mob who want to burn down the Big Brother house.

Well not really but I don't care much for reality tv or gameshows for that mater. With one excpetion.

I do like the Einstien Factor on channel 2 nice fast quiz show, and It's interesting cause contestants pick thier own topics. I'd love to see a Transfan go on that and choose Transformers or some aspect of the Transformers universe for thier topic. Some of the TF fans on this board are more than knowledgable enough to do well I reckon.

Surely the makers of the show have to make up the questions, so how do they find people with more knowledge on the subject than the contestent?

So now he's been on South Park and Family Guy... any other shows?

Megatron (actually a look-like, but it was close enough) popped up on Drawn Together. He was one of Foxxy's foster parents. Didn't last long.

Megs:"I Transform now you Transform"
Foxxy:"I need a hug"
Megs:" I transform now you transform"

His mode was a giant gun too!

Sweet sweet stuff

I'm ashamed to admit it but I can't get that damned "I don't think so" song out of my head from their advertisement. So I guess they're doing something right.

For those who are silly enough to be interested (which says a lot about me considering i'm posting this)

Of the three "gatecrashers" that went in on Sunday (Nathan being one of them), two were evicted this morning.

Nathan wasn't one of them, so he's still in there and still with a chance to make Trunks squeel like a fangirl when he busts out a TF t-shirt.
