Stuart
There’s a lot of good stuff on TV, so I watch something most days of the week. It’s the easiest
thing to do when I get home from school and I’m too tired to go out or read a book. I watch quite a lot of
documentaries and the news, because I like to know what’s happening in the world, and I’m also a big fan
of reality shows like Big Brother.
In Big Brother, they get real people together in a house for a few weeks, and because the house
is full of cameras you can watch how they behave. Sometimes the people are celebrities. As a viewer, you
can decide which of the people you don’t like, and then vote to evict them from of the house -1 love that!
Patricia
Most of the time I’m too busy to watch TV, and anyway, there’s so much rubbish on these
days. Apart from the news - which I find interesting, it’s difficult to find anything intelligent on any of the
channels.
What I really hate are those reality shows, like the one where they put people in a house for a
few weeks and then film how they behave, as if they were animals in a zoo. From the little I’ve seen, it
seems the people who make these programmes ' always put some really ignorant or selfish people in the
house, and then expect the viewers to find their behaviour entertaining. I find it depressing.
