Well it all had to end sometime and I am a bit sad to see the end of Big Brother UK. It was the first time that I watched the UK version of this program from the first to the last day and it was a real education in the culture of the UK and how much a show can take over the attention of a nation, even in its tenth year. I understand that BBC 4 will not be doing the show next year and that is a shame but I did get to spend my summer with all the house guests and I got to enjoy the drama of every moment. Unlike the US version where the ousted housemates get to vote on the winner, the UK Big Brother rely on the public to choose their winner. In a country consumed by the newspaper and magazine tabloids, the house guests become minor celebrities long after BB ends. I look forward to an update show highlighting their futures. So good on ya mates and thank you for an entertaining summer. Pop culture is rarely as riveting to be a voyeur to. And how can I not congratulate sweet and beautiful but dumb Sophie who won it all and if it couldn't be the 'Irrepressible Dark Horse' Marcus I was glad that it was Sophie. Sure she was dumb as a stump but she was easy for everyone to get along with and involved herself in very few of the moment of conflict and her popularity with the British people was undeniable. Sweet. Good on ya girl.
