The Gamer's Eye of Judgement

So I thought of doing this little mini-discussion segment once a week, sort of like an interactive feed to get some feedback on the latest (or random) news in the gaming world as well as possibly a bit of other happenings in the movie/TV business.  I call it the "WeekEnd Entertainment Discussion" (or WEED), and as the name hints, it'll happen during the weekend either on Sunday or Saturday.

So Halo Reach is just a few days away from release, and everyone is going absolutely nuts about it! Are you going to be sitting in front of your local GameStop along with thousands of other gamers waiting for the midnight launch?  Are you absolutely sick of Halo, you wish the whole franchise would just die already? Are FPS's in general just getting a bit TOO much hype with such games as Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and Call of Duty: Black Ops (and of course all other big name FPS titles before them)?
Last night in the UK marked the final episode of Ultimate Big Brother, and the final episode of the entire reality series of Big Brother. 10 years, and 22 seasons of housemates living in confinement for a chance to win ₤100,000. The British version of Big Brother is probably the most well known and most popular version of the show with millions of viewers watching the show every night 7 days a week, and moreso on the live streams on the Official Big Brother website. With this nation's version of Big Brother who knows how much longer the US will last, as they've been airing Big Brother just as long. Albeit not as entirely popular as in the UK, it's managed to last 10 years on it's own as well. Are you sad to see Big Brother be over for good? Are you not a huge reality show fan at all, you just wish the whole idea of it never existed? Are reality shows really just false advertising knowing that they're mostly staged despite otherwise stated it's "all real"? What makes them so entertaining to watch?
