Something we’ve not done much of this year is look at what other Big Brother blogs are saying about the show.
After a quick search around the web though, there don’t appear to be many independent Big Brother blogs left. The only one I could find was the randomly-updated BigBroBlog. A couple of years ago, the web was buzzing with Big Brother talk, but now it’s restricted to the big sites like The Sun, Mirror, Heat Magazine and Digital Spy.
Remember Big Blogger? Used to be an amazing BB site, but is now sadly discontinued.
Now, people have been predicting the death of Big Brother for years, but is the decline of independent Big Brother blogs yet another sign that nobody cares anymore?
You tell us…are there any good Big Brother blogs or websites out there that we’ve missed? Share them with us in the comments, why don’tcha?

I’m borrowing a link from Available For Panto today and pointing you to The Bitch Factor, another X Factor blog worth checking out.
Why? Because they have the best strapline ever: ITV1’s The X Factor, through the eyes of three cynical viewers. WHOSE PARENTS ARE DEAD.
I laughed my ass off at that slogan, and long-term X Factor addicts who deplore the recurring sob stories will appreciate the snarky dig at the contestants.
Anyway, I read a couple of their posts (especially the one about no dead parents), and their sense of bemusement at the car crash that is X Factor is obvious:
Here’s Paris, who auditioned last year with her pretty little operatic voice, but is now BACK BACK BACK to enter officially. She’s a Scouser. Is this Liverpool now? Dermot, now with his tie done up nicely, gives her a kiss. Sharon pretends she remembers her and this hasn’t been set up at all. She sings two lines of I Will Always Love You, with a bizarre glissando cadenza.
These guys call it as they see it. Great blog and I can’t wait to see what they have to say about tonight’s X Factor.
