“Dammit Billy smile!! Papa needs a Chenbot track suit!!!

The countdown continues and more great contributions are flowing it to win free swag. Sure an official TVgasm Chenbot store item may only be $30 on the high end and child therapy can run in the thousands; but, can you really put a price on familial pride in Big Brother? I think not.

While we here state side are at just over a week from the Chenbot, Big Brother-UK has already been underway for several weeks and clips of the series are boppin’ around the internet only adding fuel to the fire that is BB fervor. In one such clip it seems the cast of Big Brother-UK, or B-BUK, have to sing some homemade anthem at seemingly random intervals which has made one of the house guests none too happy. the video after the jump.


Now I need to find a way to get BBC 4 at my house

To those of you who have submitted entries and have not been picked, u can still send in more! Even if you have won already and want a whole Chenspired wardrobe, continue to send in entries. We have had some AMAZING entries from some of our creative readers. But we are still looking for numbers to help us with our countdown; if you see it, make it and shoot it, simply send us the photo or video to madeyoulaugh@tvgasm.com, and you are automatically entered to win a Chenbot item from the TVgasm store. Multiple entries accepted!

    Too damned funny. Unfortunately I had the volume all the way up on the ‘puter and this woke my son up. Oh well….he had to go to work anyway.

    First, to be a pedantic bitch, it’s on Channel 4, not BBC4 – the former is a trashy, youth-oriented channel, the latter is an intellectual, nerdy old-person channel. They’re at cultural opposite ends of the spectrum (retreats for cover).

    Good old Nikki (the screaming BB UK housemate in the clip). We all love her. Her tantrums have involved the lack of bottled water in the house, other people’s body odour and air conditioning. Put a pea under her mattress and she’d wake up covered in bruises. Although the other HMs hate her, she’s survived the eviction vote 3 times already. I prefer the US rules, as our BB just becomes a popularity contest with 15 year old girls collectively deciding the winner based on who they fancy/feel sorry for. A nice chap with Tourettes Syndrome (whose swearing is outshadowed by all the non-Tourettes contestants) has been tipped to win this year, from the outset. There is no real competition, and anyone who appears remotely strategic is roundly hated and viewed as “fake” and “plastic” (the worst things you can be if you’re British apparently). Oh, and 90% of our contestants get solidly booed by an insane pack of blood-thirsty proles upon leaving the house. “It’s all pantomime” whispers the British Chenbot, Davina, into their ears. Except it isn’t really. It’s the Christians vs. lions for the 21st century.

    Your man in the UK. Lubin.

    Nikki is hilarious! I love that clip. But still, the greatest clip ever is when shes freaking out about the Air Con. Gold!

    Ah, this brings back memories of BB S1 USA – when one of the various strange tasks assigned to the housemates was to make up lyrics to the BB theme music. I still have an MP3 of it somewhere.
    Lyrics here:

    “But first” :D read this Salon article I found regarding BB S1:
    http://archive.salon.com/ent/tv/feature/2000/09/20/bb_tues19/print.html
    Priceless quote: “They could be a rich, creamery tub of “I Can’t Believe It’s Not TV Stars!” and it would still all be a Country Crock of shit.”

    Lubin (#2) – Thanks for the insider info regarding BB-UK. That Nikki is a piece of work! And I am intrigued by your respect for the US’s rules, since there are some here who wish the public had the power to vote people off. Now I see how that could be detrimental.

    Jonathan (#4) ~ Interesting article. Especially with the ref to Debbie Matenopoulous being kicked off “The View”. Deja vu!

    The article also brought back those days of scorn for Reality TV. Ah, memories.

    Pretty funny BBUK. That’s what Big Brother’s role should be! I wish the US would bring back the distracting tasks like this one designed to make the HG a little crazier. How would “strategery” be affected if the HG weren’t focused on it all the time?
