What makes the moaning/negative opinions unacceptable but praise/positive opinions about the show acceptable? This isn't a Big Brother appreciation forum, it's a Big Brother discussion forum - there is a difference.
Accept the new BB or STOP watching

Have re engaged with BB14 & here now.
The orignal concept no longer exists, in fact the earlier shows would be hard to replicate now. AND let's face it Live Feed is not coming back anytine soon
I would never, ever be condescending and tell people to turn off if they don't like it...however, us old timers have to accept that BB as we knew it is long gone.
Accept this new (quite risable) incarnation or ..tune out.

I haven't been complaining about this series on DS but you have a point, it won't ever return to the BB i like.
Now one of the more outgoing housemates (Aaron) has been thrown out while fake romance duo remain (Sarah+Danny).
I think i will take your suggestion and sadly tune out.

I think it is because they think a lot of the forum members, who cant handle changes, are only young.
I don't see why people so fussed over others moaning. The same way people can stop watching , others can simply avoid threads or skip posts full of moaning, right?

Live feed gives more of an insight for viewers. It was totally addictive.
Back in the day I was completely obsessed with it. I didnt see my husband for weeks

That makes even less sense. Did you mean 'can'?
I will continue to moan about the destruction of a show I once loved and the likes of Scarlett, Dancc, Veri and OrangeBalloon will not stop me.

Why waste your time complaining about a TV show?

Yeah i used to be hooked when it was live on E4, even though often back then it was just housemates on sunloungers.
If I could choose evening live feed for 30 minutes, or BBBOTS, I would choose BBBOTS.
I dont ovely like the changes, but hey Big Brother to me is like a drug what your addicted to, I wasnt gonna watch it this year, but as soon as I new it was coming back, I had too, and BBBOTS, even though I tend to watch BBBOTS on plus1, and by quarter to one, im shattered

Me too and now I have totally given up with it, it is not BB anymore. Amen to BB.

Nobody said they were unacceptable.
Nor did I ever claim this was a BB appreciation forum. All comments whether they agree with me or not are valid and valued. It is a forum for debate after all.

Feel free. Knock yourself out. I think it's sad, but respect your wishes to continually moan about a show that no longer exists

Are the people who accept changes to the show not part of the 'hardcore' fanbase then?

The show died ages ago. I was a hardcore fan but couldn't deal with what Channel 5 did to it from BB12 onwards (No live feed, name tags, music montages, Marcus, crap house designs/logos, presenters, extreme manipulation and more). I now only watch CBB

Aww Scarlett ,I love to have a good moan and you've got to admit it is Shite 
but sadly i still can't stop watching .it's my age ya see i'm stuck in my ways
and you've got to admit it is Shite but sadly i still can't stop watching .it's my age ya see i'm stuck in my ways
I'm in what I think is quite a rare minority... Someone who has been a fan since the very first series and still am 15 years later. I just like this show and have never been especially bothered by any of the changes implemented throughout the years. I'm enjoying this series as much as the last one, which I enjoyed as much as the last one and so on and so on all the way back to the beginning... When the yahoo-groups (?!) were all filled with heated debates about how the show was scripted, fake, manipulated and that Nasty Nick was DEFINITELY a plant!

LF was unedited and a chance to see what was really going on and not the over-edited 'highlights' where we are manipulated to feel a certain way about HMs according to how it's been cut together.
Also the WHATM thread was a great way of uniting people on here and giving us the chance to chat in a more relaxed way and get to 'know' the Hms ... and each other. Many friendships were formed so it's not surprising that FMs are upset about this change.

Ah Cah... I still watch too but there comes a time ( well for me at least) when banging my head against a brick wall , begins to hurt.

The original concept of BB ended the moment the bars went up in BB3.
