Sophia Loren Doesn't Understand Big Brother Fans

Wednesday January 9, 2008
According to a report, movie icon Sophia Loren is puzzled by people (like moi) who religiously watch the globally franchised reality show Big Brother.

She is quoted as saying "I can't get my head around people wanting to watch wannabes simply sleeping or having insane conversations or, worse still, sitting up all night on the off-chance two idiots may have sex." (Is she trying to say I need to get a life? She doesn't even know me!)

All kidding aside, even though Sophia doesn't get it, there are plenty of BB junkies out there -- and it's not about wanting to see if "two idiots"  will have sex. We watch to see the relationships, the backstabbing, the game play, and all of that other fun stuff.

In related news, CBS announced yesterday that Showtime's Sho2 will once again air three extra hours of live footage from the Big Brother house, seven days a week, when new season premieres next month.  We bet Sophia would be rolling her eyes about that!

Well poo on her! She doesn’t know what she’s missing.

I’ll bet she’s a closet BB watcher and stays up all night waiting for someone mention her name or to remember who she is. :)

I’m willing to bet that she’s never even seen five minutes of the show. It drives me nuts when people criticize reality shows when they really know nothing about them.

Personally I’d rather *not* see any of the houseguests have sex anyway!
