Big Brother Chaos
July 8th, 2006:
After several controversial weeks in BB 6 there was much to talk about in the commentary diary. These generally took up most of the week with an analysis from all sides. Here then are two of the more typical responses to that content that have been received in early July.

Hi BB Chaos,
I'm a regular reader of your work in each series and I just wanted to say that I'm glad that Gretel Killeen has some supporters here when everywhere else you only find nasty criticism. That sort of immature behaviour doesn't get her haters anywhere and it's just plain boring to read. Keep on supporting her BB Chaos because someone needs to be out there highlighting the positives in opposition to all those negatives.
Also, I wanted to congratulate your commentator. This year, Ridge Rogue has provided first class work, especially during the really controversial weeks where he excelled in providing an in-depth look at the situation from all of the angles. This has been his best work yet and I can't believe that he doesn't work for a newspaper (no offence because this site is OK). None of the other sites took the higher road during the Ashley/John scandal for example like it seemed that BB Chaos did. Even back when Michael exposed the problem with selective editing, only one lone soul was out there "educating" his readers, and that was Ridge. I can't speak highly enough of his work this year. Well done and keep it up!
Ashley, Sydney

Message (edited for readability only, and note that we all like BBBA):
Just like to say, first up, great job you guys do here at bbchaos! I've been to BBBA, and they seem to me, really up themselves. Like they're so proud of the fact that they get the goss first. No offence to any BBBA fans here. But I found that bbchaos goes way more in depth!

April 2006:
The Big Brother Chaos commentator during each series, Ridge Rogue is the public name behind the site. Other staff prefer a much lower public profile. So everyone loves Ridge. In the chatterbox the following was posted on April 5th by jack01

Big Brother Chaos
March 2006:
Since BB 5 ended Big Brother Chaos has been the most popular section of Celebchaos every week, including during the Christmas season. Fans continued to gather around the interactive areas of the site and share news and keep in touch. There was also an exclusive page of BB 6 speculation that was popular and below is a testimonial from one fan who enjoyed reading that section.
Hi Big Brother Chaos,
I just wanted to express my appreciation for your chatterbox and information pages in particular on the site. It's been really good to drop in and chat to other BB fans who just can't get enough of the show even when it's not currently screening. The "World Speclusive" page has been a great read and I hope that some of those tasks happen in Big Brother 06. Anyway thanks for all of the great work you do. I can't live without Big Brother and I certainly can't live without Big Brother Chaos to keep me entertained. Big hugs!

October 2005:
2005 was the most successful year yet for Big Brother Chaos in so many ways. Recognising this success and the changes that were made to the site, BB fans taking a look around here, from Australia, New Zealand and other countries, sent in some comments that Big Brother Chaos would like to share. Only fans that gave their permission for all or part of their communications to be published are mentioned below, without all of their personal information for their privacy. Not all messages were positive of course but here are some of the really positive ones. If you would like to submit a testimonial please get in touch.
You said it and BB Chaos was audacious enough to publish it (oh the arrogance, but if it is good enough for other sites ...).

I've been a regular visitor of your site for a few years and I really appreciate what you are trying to do with it. I love the news updates that occur after each series that go right up until the next one each year. I love the commentary diary during each series and the classy style of writing (that, for example, unlike other sites keeps crude terminology to an absolute minimum). I hope Gretel appreciates the compliments that are given there because she gets such a huge amount of criticism every year. I can accept your less than flattering comments about her clothes sometimes because you've explained that you want to see her looking her best and you're obviously a bunch of supportive fans. I'm sure she understands. Anyway the other thing I love is all the general information about Big Brother. I've learnt more from this site than any other BB site in any country in the world. You guys are truly great fans, the site looks fantastic now and I encourage you to keep up the first-class work that you are doing. There are no other sites like this anywhere. Well done!

Dude this site absolutely rocks! I like seeing what others say about the show and its stars. Apart from forums there's nowhere else that you can read other opinions, especially in a decent blog. I'm going to hang around more and more and spread the word.

I did read some of your comments about the show being boring but I think you should've been more critical in the hope that things would get better (even though it ultimately didn't this year). You've explained that you strongly believe in the BB concept and I'm glad that you are taking a stand and encouraging others to as well. I noticed that you toned it down in the middle of series 5 (in your commentary) and that's good for some but we have to demand a much more entertaining series. Thanks for trying though and I hope that the producers keep what you've said in mind for next time.

I can't stand the constant, immature bickering at other sites that are full of kids. Thanks for encouraging mature people to hang around your site because it's a welcome relief from all the Gretel bashing and silly arguments about nothing. You wouldn't believe how incredibly refreshing it is to come here to get away from all that and just relax and read and participate in the polls and chats and remember the good times on Big Brother. I sometimes read the diary updates for the recent series when I'm missing the show long after it has finished. I even know people that have auditioned that mentioned your site as their first stop for information before they go to the auditions. I don't know what we would all do without a site like BB Chaos around. No other site updates regularly, you're always working on something here and it's just nice to sit down and look at some photos and read bits and pieces. And that commentator guy always seems to know exactly the right thing to say in his diary. I've even chatted to him on the chatterbox a few times and he's been good when I've been having BB withdrawal symptoms. For some reason the whole site leaves me inspired to go out and conquer my world each day. You've obviously put a lot of work into building this site and I thank you for that.
