The Big Brother 7 Reality TV Series Justifies State Surveillance by Getting People to do it Themselves. The Global Elite Are Turning Us Against Each Other.

The Big Brother 7 reality TV show took the viewing public by storm in many countries. The regional idea for Big Brother came from a television production company in the Netherlands in 1997.

Its provocative name comes from the novel by George Orwell, ”1984.”

The idea is that a number of people live together in a location known as the Big Brother House, where they are not only isolated from the exterior, but also continuously monitored by TV cameras.

There is a cash prize at stake for the participants who remain in the house the longest. Participants are evicted by popular vote.

The name Big Brother relates to the notion of continuous surveillance and observation. In George Orwell’s novel people were no longer able to escape surveillance.

The television sets in their homes were permanently on and were converted into two way channels that broadcast outward but also watched what people were doing.

For the public that watches Big Brother, the fascination is typically with the situation of several people existing in an artificial environment, which often gives rise to frustration and confrontation.

This type of reality TV is simply a distraction for people so they don’t pay attention to the Big Brother state we’re actually living in right now.

By creating programs such as this one, the elite shadow government is able to make us think a situation like this is so extreme it could never really happen to us. Yet it is, right now.

Suffering on Behalf of the Viewers

In Big Brother 7 reality TV we participate in the vicarious venting of everyday problems that people face in society. We let a group of people hammer it out on television.

As with many reality TV shows, Big Brother also sets norms by acting as a role model for the people who watch the series.

Although in the beginning the Big Brother broadcasts were set in houses that had very little in the way of creature comforts, this has changed.

We are being lured further and further into the fantasy world of reality TV and therefore further away from the reality of Big Brother we should be fighting against.

Be Spied on and Live in Luxury

With the version seven of the show, inmates of the Big Brother House have the advantage of a number of conveniences including, for example, a Jacuzzi, a sauna and a VIP suite.

They get access to these items by being prepared to be spied on and listened to 24 hours per day.

The suggestion for the viewing public is that they too can achieve this kind of lifestyle, the possibility of a large cash prize and the albeit temporary celebrity status that goes with it if they are also prepared to be spied on.

Not only this, but Big Brother 7 reality TV makes extensive use of the Internet.

Although the show is typically broadcast on a daily basis when it is running, viewers also have the possibility of watching what is going on by a continuous camera feed to the Internet.

Role Model for what We Should Accept

There exists both the role model of Big Brother which suggests that being spied on can be advantageous, and there is also the invitation for the viewing public to do the spying themselves.

By participating actively in this surveillance of a group of people it is a much more difficult for the public to criticize other organizations that engage in the surveillance of the public as a whole.

Big Brother 7 reality TV essentially legitimizes much of the surveillance and monitoring done by government agencies.

This program pushes the loss of civil liberties into the background by replacing the issue with voyeuristic entertainment to tickle the collective public palate.
