Cooking and shopping

I miss housemates doing the shopping list and arguing over it. I also don't see much cooking going on. It made me wonder whether they are fed by outside caterers off set?

Any thoughts?

That's to boring for BB now. They just want a 45 minutes sex show.

I agree completely I was thinking the same thing. The core of BB was always the shopping list and the weekly nominations. We don't get any day to day life any more it's weird. A 45 minute programme goes by & you think "is that it?" It is a mystery.

I've been wondering about it too. One of the twins said they hated how people were constantly cooking meat and how when she opened the fridge it was always full of meat, but I can't remember seeing anyone eating anything. Do they even have a dining table?

Less of a social experiment, more a cheap porn show.

It's all so set up and I trust very little of what I see. Not believing it kind of spoils it. People can seem to walk out, go God knows where and return the next day. It's become a farce and yes a sex show.

Completely agreed and it's a really good way to gauge the house dynamics (who cooks, who's greedy, who eats with who, do they all eat together, and help out etc).

Far more interesting than all the shite tasks we've been shown so far

I know he admitted since it was an act, but who can forget quiet little moments like Glyn's 'I'm cooking an egg' song. It was a terrible BB but in 15 the kitchen was the setting for much of the early drama with Pauline. Last year when he wasn't laying around in his dressing gown Pie Face was generally clearing up the kitchen. We wouldn't have seen much of him otherwise, so who aren't we seeing this year? Guess we'll never know...

Don't get me started on the shopping budget

Or the time Harry disregarded the shopping list completely and spent about £100 on bananas and corn flakes

Im afraid that was the good old days, but the shopping budget used to cause some good humdingers, especially if it was a basic and people wanted fags and tabacco.
They seem to live on buffet food.

The shopping list used to be fun, especially if they went into the diary room, and they forgot to add it up properly

I remember when the first thing they used to do on there first morning, on live feed, was somebody have to digress the welcome pack, to see how to turn the cooker on

Me too. The food and shopping was always at the heart of the programme and where most of the arguments stemmed from. No-one seems to care now, how things have changed.

Makes me think about the so called 'boring' year ..... BB4? Where that guy who was a chef was always conjuring up amazing meals out of nothing, making stock out of chicken carcasses etc - nothing was ever wasted! *Sigh*

Great replies everyone! I have to get ready to go away for a few days so can't address all the fantastic points made, so I'll just say that of all the shopping budget posts I've ever seen no-one ever thought it was a good development to ditch it. Oh if only they listened

That was genius Was it Aaron (winner) who was torn with the Scalextric?

Normal people doing normal things and we all enjoyed it so much, now look where we are with people giving each other instructions on how to choke them with their sex aids
