BB has now become viscous, brutal & nasty.

Every single task and twists are designed to manufacture conflict & splitting the house up into groups.

BB Producers encourage bullying, back stabbing to the point one day they will go too far. They seem to think this is what the viewing public want, do we ? I sure don't.

OK, you are bound to have the odd arguments within a large group of strangers and personality clashes but why do the Producers need to manufacture nastiness for ratings ?
Do they believe this what brings in the ratings ?

I have watched BB since series 1, I loved BB and always look forward to Summer each year, but now I've had a gut full, it's no longer entertaining for me ”

That started the day the house divider bars when up in BB3. As for BB per say, BB is now simply tabloid TV.

Well said!

And I agree 100% with the OP and also moomin who said the show is a shadow of its former self.

That's how decisive and powerful the show's producers are in deciding who has a chance of winning. It was unprecedented. So imo Helens win was not because she was a bully, but because she appeared to go from one extreme (sinner) to the other (saint)”

What has she been like this year? (I'm a bit behind, haven't seen her in it yet, gradually catching up.)

Has she carried on with her 'I've learned my lesson and gone on a journey' approach, or has she reverted to how she was before?

Me to, and this forum with its banter, if it wasn't for DS BB I'd have stopped watching BB years ago.

I guess it's a generation thing, youngsters these days seems to enjoy watching people suffering mentally and physically. ”

Your right there. Most of American TV especially Sky Transatlantic is very violent and sex obsessed. I find this disturbing. I wonder if it's because our world in the west is war free, drought free and not on an earthquake line. Maybe some should try going to disaster zones and see what it's really like.
