Big Big Brother problem

I would have skipped right past this new item if I hadn't experienced first hand last year Brits' love of their version of the Big Brother reality show. They eat it up. More than we obsess over American Idol. They not only run the show multiple times a week -- they have recap and chat shows devoted entirely to the show!

Anywho, jolly old England is now enjoying a celebrity version of the show (among the D-list stars we Yanks would recognize are Jermaine Jackson and Dirk Benedict, of A-Team fame). Unfortunately, the show has been tainted by bad relations between some of the contestants and their Bollywood star housemate. Enough to cause something of an international incident.

Let's hope we never get this worked up over Beauty and the Geek.

This is friskier than Cliff getting kicked off "Top Chef" for man-handling little Marcel and trying to shave his head (I wish he woulda succeeded). TV world is not a safe place for humans!

One gripe...Dirk Benedict is NO "D List" star...He was Starbuck!!!! I demand this site apologize to Mr. Benedict and fans of Battlestar Galatica everywhere!

Sorry, anon. I should have said "E-list" star! Starbuck? Bah! In the words of the insufferable John Stossel of 20/20: "Give me a break!"
