TEACHERS NOTES

I personally did not watch any of the recent reality TV programs . To me, this is just another genre of TV no more or less intellectual than any other TV genre. David, UK Reality TV, in my opinion, is a stepping stone for having better media and television services - so long live Reality TV! And poor Helen - i wanted her to win!!! Nick Dalby, Leeds, UK Reality TV? Well if that is the future of television I think it is time to dump my TV into the garbage pit and go live on an island. Yeh that's what I will do. I will become a survivor and get away from the hype!!!!!!! Bryan Buckman, Australia I think it's great. I'm really happy Brian won. I love him - he is so funny and it's good for the gay community - Glenn Horlock, UK Personally, as somebody who really doesn't watch a lot of TV, I got very quickly hooked on Big Brother. ..I think like it or hate it , reality TV is here to stay - Deborah, UK To be honest, I'm one of those few people who preferred Survivor. The first Big Brother was obnoxious contestants, they all got on my nerves! - Yasin, United Kingdom I don't have a problem with Reality TV. I don't watch it - I find it intensely boring and irritating and I feel the same about sports programmes, programmes for young children, soap operas, "made for TV" movies. Dinah Gordon, UK Linley, UK
