What has happened to BB? I've been an avid fan since season 1 but this one is awful. The language and sex is just too much. Have only just got used to hearing the F word on TV but really can't accept the C word so have for the first time ever have switched off and BB won't be aired in my house again.

And you felt the need to announce it why?

I'm sorry but 'you have just gotten used to hearing the F word on TV' so you must either have never encountered the outside world and have never stayed up to watch TV after 9pm.

If you were avid BB1 viewer you should remember that it was as sexual as every series. Naked painting. How about BB6? You must have collapsed when Kinga shoved a bottle up her fanny or the sexual nature of 5 and 6.

Never watch anything with Gordon Ramsay in then, if you're sensitive to 'The F Word'

I do believe BB failed tonight when they aired the choking scene.

This i was thrown aback with. But nothing else. But yes that scene was quite uncomfortable. I would have just gone on Pornhub if I was looking for that!

BB is shite TV at best! It has always been that way. I don't know what show people were watching 10 years ago but it was the same pile of putrid trash as today.

You are seeming to really enjoy it Shadow, since you are here on the forums.

Another case where reality TV viewers can't handle reality?

Well, this is as good a start as any! I'm just a bit baffled when people come on here complaining about things as if BB was previously some televised version of Shakespeare or something, you know? It's clear the show is edited in a particular way, but it was never anything any better than it is right now. I watch BB and expect the lowest of the low. Nothing more. I'm never disappointed.

Why are people so hostile to other posters on here?

People don't seem to adhere to the Posting Tips, so clearly outlined above.

Tom, when you say the tube and capacitor life, what programme would you make to make yourself happy to watch?

A program /movie worthy of someone's time and their equipment's wear & tear worthwhile watching , unlike the turds that are broadcast at the moment BB has had it's day . it's dated and producers are scraping the barrel , & it's still boring , remove all the premium rate text's or even normal rate text's to vote and associated revenue , and lets see how long this crap is broadcast for then

Could you give us an example of one of these please Tom?

What TV do you have? If it is a tube TV, this is a very old TV and is likely to have lots of wear and tear. I don't think big brother would be to blame for it.

It has always been like this OP. Shell called Victor the C word yonks ago. As for the F word, that's always been a common feature of BB.

The strangulation scene was a little much though.

They certainly did. I was really shocked they didn't tell them to stop as they have told other housemates in the past to stop for just running around outside and jumping in the pool.

What these desperate foul air time hogging individuals did was far worse.
