Following the shambles that was Big Brother: Armageddon (I didn't even make it to days three and four) I've fallen behind for a second time this series with no urge to catch up.

I did see Friday's fixed eviction show and just couldn't hack another minute after that.

I even watched BOTS for some sort of explanation for the farce I had just witnessed but I was obviously barking up the wrong tree - all we had was Biannca telling us how it is (at least somebody does), Rylan glossing over and trying to cover everything up and, unsurprisingly, desperate Dexter wringing every last drop out of his latest 15 minutes. Awful.

All I've seen since are the Big Brother UK Facebook updates and I am still not compelled to watch.

More nomination/twist scandal, C5 refusing to comment on backtracking and a task that is ACTUALLY rigged by BB - are they taking the p*ss?!

I just can't bring myself to watch as I value my TV and don't really want to teach it how to fly.

Has anyone else just given up through sheer despondance and exhaustion?

the last episode i saw was marlon's eviction, i haven't watched a thing since then and i don't really have any desire to catch up which is sad for me.

Yes, the ball was well and truly dropped at that point and the final nail hammered in.

I don't trust or believe a single thing or anything concerning this show anymore.

The show, it's participants and the format are a total sham and it appears the only real thing about it is the idiots behind it all.

To say it's treading water is an understatement.

It became a huge chore to watch, I both disbelieved and disagreed with everything.

One more sight of Fake Me Me Me Mark in the Diary Room (Now Mark's Room) would have tipped me over the edge.

For everyone continuing to watch - enjoy the rest of the show I'm sure it could well be the last.

I gave up watching for about a week thanks to the Armageddon twist. Have started tuning back in again, but sheesh it is hard work staying with it.

At least I now have a very strong candidate for my least favourite series ever, as I'm always quite undecided which one it should be. Sadly I put most of the blame on the producers. If only they'd have allowed things to develop more naturally, instead this has been the most contrived and frustratingly unfair series I've ever witnessed.
I think the housemates could have delivered a decent series on their own.

I agree.

I've thought so many times .. if only they could be left alone to get on with it without the constant interference and meddling from BB (and a live feed) .. we wouldn't be short of entertainment.

They have really shot themselves in the foot this year
