WHY do people watch Big Brother?

Someone please explain why people bother with this. And Celebrity Love Island.

I mean, Big Brother may well have been genuinely interesting the first time round (until they staged the incident with "Nasty Nick"...), but really, it's becoming a bit of a zoo for idiots now. It has no point other than to humiliate and shock, and is just ridiculous.

If a "reality" show with celebrities is not interesting, why on earth would a show full of idiots and show-offs be interesting? (Hang on, I detect a smilarity here...) I imagine it'd be explained that these are "normal" people who are like us, and it makes interesting viewing because of just that. But in what way are these people "normal"? They're about as normal as the people who decide that the best way to resolve their problems is to go on Tricia to sort them out...

WHY is it so popular? WHY WHY WHY?!?! It makes no sense!

Celebrity Love Island is another class altogether. It's a celebrity show with no proper celebrities on it, and to make it worse, they are almost all the most excruciatingly annoying people ever to appear in public. Maybe they saw it as a nice way to get paid for going on holiday, but hmm. Don't get me wrong, I despise Celebrity Wrestling as well, but at least that requires a level of effort and preparation. But then, really, at least I have heard of most of the celebrities on Celebrity Wrestling... And that's saying quite a lot...!
