For a second year in a row I think bb this year has been an absolute write off. Haven't had a good time watching it at all and bb need to stop doing everything to suit the TOWIE fans all the time. Even TOWIE, Geordie shore and made in Chelsea are better than bb now and that is evidence that bb is tired and on borrowed time.

On what planet are any of those ghastly scripted reality shows better than BB ?

As there's more going on and more of a shock factor too. With bb it's getting more obvious on the other hand. On geordie shore you have two of the most popular reality stars on the planet in a winner that won cbb and gaz beadle who they nickname the parsnip.

I think that to start out with this series was brilliant. Had a great bunch of Housemates (probably the best casting out of the C5 series) and some great stories developing for the first week and a half. Then, for some unfathomable reason, they decided to ditch that in for the manufactured rows that lost a load of viewers last year.

The producers and management are to blame where that is concerned.
