Go home BB producers, you're drunk.

Remember the days when you knew where you stood with BB?
Where housemates went into a closed house for a set number of weeks with absolutely no contact from the outside world?
Where shopping tasks lasted 2-3 days and often meant the constant involvement of all of the housemates, making them work together?
Remember how if they worked hard, played by the rules and did everything asked of them, they would actually win the task and get the larger shopping budget?
Remember when nominations were strictly confidential, made in secret in the diary room?
Remember when just the two housemates with the most nominations went head to head in the public vote?
Remember how if you were a good guy (or girl) and got on with your fellow housemates, you wouldn't get nominated and lived on to enjoy a long BB stay?
Remember when BB was actually worth investing your time and viewing energy in, because we all knew the rules and no one moved the goalposts during the shows run?

Constant face to face/showing of the diary room noms, results of polls from the outside world being given to housemates, from WEEK ONE, telling housemates once they have correctly completed shopping tasks that actually they would only have won if they had not bothered to stick it out, multiple evictions of characters we are only just starting to get to know and worst of all, housemates who had the least nominations being the only ones up for eviction.
Does this sound like a team of producers who understand the show at all or just a bunch of headless chickens who mistakenly think constantly changing the basic rules of BB makes for an edgy, exciting TV show? No effective, consistent clear plan for the series, extreme overuse of the bloody word "twist" just as an excuse to change the rules when they feel like it, and slowly, slowly pushing away every loyal BB fan who has stuck with it despite its horrendous decline. Well I'm done. It's a 'twist' too many for me. The CH5 producers have officially twisted BB so much, it's now had the life strangled out of it.

I love this thread, that's how Big Brother should be. It's vile show these days and deserves the low ratings it gets.

I'm sure Dancc and Veri will be here to disagree with you though.

Why not, the forum is for everyone to express an opinion?

To be fair, nothing stays the same forever. You have to mix it up or it goes stale.

I, personally, would prefer good behaviour to be rewarded rather than punished and for the eventual winner to have done so because they were popular with both their fellow housemates and the public but I'm reconciled that I'm not going to like every twist and turn.

Not every viewer is as invested as we are. To them it's the twists and turns that make it fun not the specific housemates or specific rules.

I don't think the show would have survived as long as it has if it had just stuck to the same old formula year after year.
