Sounds extreme I know, but CBB always had a good balance of fun, conflict, interesting stories from the housemates and good tasks. But I've lost it with this series, and I'm not just blaming Perez. I think the mix of Perez, Katie H, Camili, Nadia etc, everything is focussed on their conflicts and it's really uncomfortable to watch at times, and when there is no conflict BB step in to create it. Unfortunately as ratings went up at the start, the producers think this is all we want now.

A shame really, I've never stopped watching a series before, but haven't seen the past 3 episodes. I keep up to date on the house from this forum and it seems the show still revolves around the above conflicts. I'll come back for the final, depending on who's in it.

I agree that this series is overly heavy on tension/conflict. It is unrelenting with precious little light relief. There badly needs to be a huge injection of FUN but that does somewhat rely on shared goodwill/being OK together.

I usually stop watching once those I like have left the house, i.e. don't see it through to the end otherwise. Am pretty glued to this series though. Without Perez though maybe I would stop watching. Not as if I like the guy...he can be faulted on so many levels but his outrageousness/unpredictability can make for some amusing entertainment. (Obviously I do not mean when he provokes others there....he & Hopkins are so alike when it comes to that).

I'm not certain if I'll watch it tonight because Perez's tantrum in the DR really sickened me.

Perez is an idiot but the production team annoyed me far more. A warning/post watershed are not good enough reasons for broadcasting that.

Still watching. Still enjoying. It's not a show that ever makes me cross, no matter what its doing. I actually get more riled by badly written fiction-shows than game-show.

Pretty much stopped again, something I never did in the C4 days.

Watched Dragons Den last night and it's Revenge tonight.

I have found this series utterly boring. evictions cancelled, crass groundhog day arguments on repeat, and nowhere near enough interesting contestants.

worst cbb I have seen

I cannot believe that BB never said anything to Perez at that outburst. Totally disgusting.

I may watch tonight but Perez and Nadia are spoiling it for me. I only watched this because Cheggers went in but we have hardly seen him.

If Perez gets a pass to the final I will be done with this series. Maybe just watch the live shows but that's it. I also will complain. Regardless of the result because Big Brother's favoritism of Perez is disgusting.

May have to give up too. The constant bickering and goading is sooo boring now and just going in circles. Hate the way C5 meddle with noms to keep "favourites" in and the tasks are pretty lame these days. When Gary Busey won last year I promised myself I wouldn't watch another Celeb series (and here I am disappointed ) and when Helen won that was me finished with the civilian show.

Have already ditched BBBOTS, when I saw that Fridays show which was an extra 30 minutes I thought great, something going to happen and the reality was the same topics talked about 4 times over rather than twice.

Been a BB fan since Series 1 but not for much longer

I've stopped watching simply because Jordan Price is on it.

As soon as I get wind that she has gone, I will resume watching.

I am thinking about it, I watch BB for all the housemates and all we are getting is Perez, Nadia and Katie Hopkins and occasionally Cami Li acting like some sort of comic book character.

I'm tired of all the arguing, I am tired of Katie vs Perez. None of them are acting civilized, none of them are in the right at this point.

I also hate the fact that they are doing their best to keep Perez in the house. I can't stand Perez but if the housemates decided not to put him up for eviction, I wouldn't really have any problem about him staying. It's the fact the producers are manipulating the show to keep him in that annoys the crap out of me. The amount of interference from BB on the housemates is becoming offputting and is one of the reasons why I didn't like BB15 that much.

I stopped watching last week as I found Perez such a disturbing personality (and he was overwhelming the entire edit) I simply could not bear to watch him any more (and that was after muting him for several days). I will have a look after he has gone although that possibility is seeming increasingly unlikely.

I stopped watching a few nights ago and when I heard about the secret room just to save Perez that's definitely it for me.

Like the OP, I keep up to date with it via this forum. Much more entertaining than the show.

Might watch the final but if Perez is there, I shant bother.

I have watched all BB's and CBB's until this one and have totally turned off. I dislike the faking that CH5 is doing to create trouble and disharmony. Too many Americans this year too and too many z listers but I guess that is all that will go in.

Hate BBots with Rylan too, he is way over the top and I can't see beyond his teeth.

I am seriously getting fed up with interference by the producers. No normal nominations without any interference, set up scenarios to cause arguments and making one housemate more important than the others (Perez). It is none of these things that make the show interesting to me. I am not sure I will watch another series unless this one improves. They are pandering to the youngsters yet all the polls say it is older viewers that watch.

Thank goodness someone agrees.

I generally laugh about complaints to Ofcom etc but that outburst seriously offended me. I'm no shrinking violet but that crossed a line.

How dare they package that as entertainment?

I usually record it so i can fast forward all the shite. As another poster said, it doesn't leave much to watch.

I've watched BB from the start but feel i'm near to being cured of my addiction. The rot really set in with the crowning of the dreadful Helen and then Jim!
The only thing left of the show i used to watch is the name and the theme tune, absolutely everything else has been tampered with. Oh well, that's progress i guess.
