Why are people addicted to the television show Big Brother?

Because it is on in the summer when lots of other shows are in re-runs, so there isn't much else to watch, plus it is on several times a week.

I think they are the most uninteresting boring group of people ever to come on the Big Brother show. I don't care who wins.The highly paid TV execs who run the show should lift their game, itching powder, wetting beds it's kids stuff.

People sin more these days. Watching tv and other non important stuff is distracting us from the important issues were facing these days. No one cares if someone curses on tv no more if it was back then everyone would go crazy.

the reason is more psychological than anything else.they feel a pseudo superiority complex when they start and it becomes an addiction later

Agree on that... Isnt it a bit stupid to watch other people lifes when you can have so much more fun living yours...\nThese days people are obsessed with "reality" shows while not seeing the reality around them, not noiticing the lack of reality in the shows...

Yes, you can get addicted to just about anything, and I bet it can ruin your life the same way hard drugs can. It's the same as alcohol and cigarettes - why are they legal? Because so may people use it and like it and they would be outraged if they had it taken away. People like to think that because it is legal they don't have a problem and they have this attitude that they are so much better than other addicts whose drug of choice is crack or heroin or meth. If it's legal people can feel less guilty.

They enable people to be "ADDICTED" to close verbal contact with friends, family and co-workers.. In my opinion, some people cannot EXIST without being in contact with people 24hrs/7days per week.. It's sad.. \n\nInstead of helping people evolve socially.. I feel like their creating a generation of people that are REGRESSING/DE-EVOLVING socially..

I think it's mostly a bad habit. If I start watching it, it's hard to turn off. But if I don't turn the TV on I usually don't even think about it.

When you admire someone or someone else's lifestyle, this creates an obsession if it is available every night at the same time.  A lot of us find this satisfaction in some of our favorite shows.  If you desire a certain lifestyle, but do not find yourself living that lifestyle anytime soon, these TV shows can fullfill your desire.

Yes, it is the opiate of the masses and has been used for centuries to control people. However it is quickly being replaced by television.

Pornography is an addictive drug like cocaine.  Give it enough time, and there is nothing it can't destroy.  Families are broken, women are used, and men are consumed.  \n\nFor this reason, I don't like to see it.  I'm a 23 male, and if comes on TV, I will change the channel.  Where does it lead beyond some small thrill and a desensitizing outlook on humanity.  Don't watch it, don't read it, don't think it.  It is bad for you.

They screwed around with the story and the set up. They took it off the air for weeks. \nThey pitted it against some of the most popular shows on TV.\nThen they wonder why, people stop watching it.\nIt was a very good show, when it started, great idea, well cast and good scripts.\nPity they didn't leave well enough alone.\nIt just happens too often, and we all lose some good entertainment/
