Bloody hell, I used to be a big Big Brother fan and now I've watched a whole 3 episodes this series and two of them were launch night and episode 1.

Normal people. This is the main reason why I'm not watching. I'm fed up with the models and wannabes, just stop. I'm just a normal lad, I can't relate to any of these people.

NO outside contact should be allowed. What's the point in letting them know whose loved and hated? Makes no sense.

Diary room chats should be private or what's the point in it?

Nominations should be done in PRIVATE and should be final. This means no face to face nominations, no revealing who nominated who and the people who are nominated, should be ones up. Also, it should always be the 3 with the highest nominations that should be up. Stop changing it every week.

Stop with these stupid twists. I mean, seriously. Just let it roll naturally. Connor wouldn't have won the money and Helen wouldn't have won the show if it wasn't for these stupid twists. By tomorrow, half of the original cast will have gone. That's ridiculous and unfair.

Stop kicking out people for stupid reasons for ratings. Do they honestly believe kicking out one of the biggest (however annoying) characters is going to help their ratings in the long run?

A model, singer, stripper and showbiz. Wow, just wow. These normal everyday people are going to bring in so many more viewers. Same old.

Etc...

Sorry for the rant. I was about to give the show another chance but screw that. I'll probably still keep watching the forum because I like debating about ex housemates but I think that's it for me as a viewer. It's a shame because like I said I used to love the show but I just don't enjoy it anymore.

And just a little promotion from one of my favourite shows-

Although totally different to UK Big Brother, you guys should watch Survivor (the U.S. version) it's 30 seasons long (only like 13/14 episodes each season though) but I love it. The cast, the gameplay, it's amazing and totally cured me of my Big Brother addiction ()

We don't know what happened with Aaron and Joel yet to judge.

You have similar thoughts as i do, the show is broken beyond repair i think.

Is it Sepp Blatter?

Basil Fawlty

Fair point but from what I've read it's no different than the Denise-Twins issue and again, from what I've read is quite obviously a rating plot

Why is the show bothered about the ratings this time, when it has just been exttended till 2018. The ratings are hardly gonna die down that much, that it gets axed.

The Wright Stuff has lasted since C5 begun, that cant get ratings

Couldn't agree more, the show has descended into an absolute farce. I didn't think it could get any worse after BB15, however, the current series smacks of desperation.

The current gang aren't tearing chunks out of eachother, so, obviously, things have got to change. The housemates had calmed down and were just beginning to settle in nicely, the series was enjoying a nice slow burn (bar the numerous unnecessary twists, evictions, nomination fiddling and general meddling) and now this .. this IS a show in crisis, regardless of what Channel 5 would have us believe. This latest 'twist' could backfire spectacularly and most probably will ..

The higher the ratings, the more money they get

Agreed.

Reflects my own feelings to a tee! I have watched all episodes and skim through them next day. I would never have done this in the heyday of BB...it was my life lol!!

From what I've read, it's very different from Denise and the twins.

How so? Genuine question btw

Because Aaron hasn't 'exposed' Joel like Denise did to the twin.

Work experience school kids have took over this years series and its gone tits up

heads should roll !!

i agree

Does anyone still disagree? Hahaha

I agree. They must have NO brain cells to think that putting in Simon would gain viewers. I mean out of the like... 200 past housemate, surely at least one of the vaguey memorable ones would have been interested in going back in?! I mean I don't even ask for Nikki or Makosi necessarily, just maybe even someone like Shabnam BB8. Simon going in, and them evicting four originals, is only going to lose viewers. I'm not sure I can watch until he's gone anyway...

I used to be annoyed, not now. Take it for what it is. It's not the same show any more.

It's absolutely atrocious. Watching tonight for the first time since launch I was surprised at just how bad it was.
It needs to go away for a few years and then see how it goes. Everything seems to be wrong somehow.

I wasn't sure things could have gotten worse than it has in the last 2 days, but it has.
