Well Darren Brown repeated Milgram's study about three years ago and similar results were generated, however I do like the idea about having an interactive element with viewers at home because the best way to learn is to be active (in my experience). May not have electric shocks wired up to the red button though (Sky would probably start selling more remotes if nothing else)
You're making a fatal mistake here in confusing the issues of experimental process and rigour to the fact that I want to electrocute those ingrates! They've helped perpetuate this show by being on it, and must be punished accordingly.
Can't you just be happy in the knowledge that after their fifteen minutes of fame they sizzle out and fade from importance

The only reason the housemates obey big brother is because they don't want to be kicked out and thus miss out on a flimsy chance at fame
Well then we could use it see how far people go in the pursuit of fame, if someone goes overboard it may be enough to act as a wake up call and get people to seriously look at the instant celebrity culture

Hahaha, I saw "Big Brother" and thought you meant the one who is watching us, a la 1984. To be honest, I forgot the show ever existed.

How about doing what Vaultec did in Fallout? Use each series as a different experiment?
Eg. Vault 106 used music and static noises to eventually drive people insane.

BB1&4 were good. 1 was actually interesting as the contestants didn't realise how popular the show was going to be. They acted like normal people doing normal things instead of playing up to the cameras like they do now. And 4 was when they started being "evil", which was actually hilarious. At one point the housemates were having a silent protest over food or something, so BB set fire to some of their clothing. Fun times.
Shame the rest have been crap. If they hadn't pussied out of the whole "evil" thing, it might have been entertaining for another month, but whatever...

And I'd make some snide comment about Jade Goody finally getting out of the limelight, but she had kids so it's not funny.

It's shocking how far the show has gotten, seeing as it started out as something like a social experiment, where complete opposites are left in the same house for several weeks.

Big Brother in my opinion is just an example of how corrupt people can be and then exploits them afterwards to the media to chew up and spit out before they dissappear into the rest of society to be another washed up, sell out has-been. It should be finished, the sooner the better.

Id watch big brother alot more if the people involved werent a bunch of socialy inept retards, I liked the first series because it was innocent, fresh and actualy enjoyable, not they just stick a bunch of mentaly fucked people in a house and wait for a fight

Did anyone else watch Charlie Brooker's Dead set and think to themselves that is a great idea, put zombies in the big brother house, it is perfect, we don't like these people, it is being recorded 24 hours a day for us to watch the zombies and it is securly locked.

Bah, zombies aren't as good as masked killers, stalking the halls and brutally killing anyone who gets their tits out or happens to be alone.

Less media influences are the last thing thats going to matter when experimenting on the kind of people in Big Brother.

Sorry, didnt read the rest. Read that far and realised how much I hate it. :)

Well to be fair, her death proved of some use because I imagine it raised some awareness
