The coverage and updates this year has been atrocious

15 Housemates and they just keep updating on the same 4 nobodies. Marie, Lewis, Bear and Heavy

They have Sam Fox and Ricky Norwood in there, people who are actual celebrities and they're just ignoring them

Look at the FB and TWITTER updates. post after post after post about bear and Marnie and Lewis

Cant remember the last time they posted about Sam or Ricky.

I avoid shows like TOWIE and Geordie Shore in my daily life, why the hell would i want to watch hours of Big Brother dedicated to these nobodies.

If C5 want to do a TOWI then let them, but they're absolutely RUINING bb by having these types in every year.

No one is interested yet they KEEP pushing them to the fore front. Consequently real celebs like Sam and Ricky are being called boring but it's because they're not featuring them. Why hire 15 celebrities if they're only going to exhibit 3-4 of them constantly? Watch the tide now turn in support of loathsome characters like bear 'because he's entertaining '

Indeed! I wish they would mix it up a bit too. People were getting cheesed off because there was an interesting conversation happening between Ricky and James on LF which got switch so that viewers could be shown a load of giblets snogging in the pool. I understand that they want to show dramatic things but really a lot of stuff they are showing is just 'argument, tantrum, snog, fag area waffling and stupid playground dares, rinse and repeat'. It's boring after you've seen it for the 3rd time.

Agreed. I'm tuning in to watch CBB, not The Bear And Who He Cops Off With Show.

What I'd like is the 'grown-up' version of the show, edited by different people (maybe on 5star) where you can actually see people talking to each other and interacting. You know, being people.

I just said in another thread I'm sure there's a great program in all the stuff they don't use. We're just getting shown the excrement.

Absolutely-it's a bit of an insult to the other housemates too (and the viewers who don't want to see the same "look at me because i want to be the centre of attention" behaviour all the time).

I agree, we have seen almost nothing of the other HMs, it's all been about Bear, Lewis, Chloe, Marnie, Big D, Saira, Aubrey & Renee. OK, there was the food throwing incident with James & Sam briefly talking about her partner who died but that's bout it apart from the actual tasks,

It's true. Even on the live feed the camera lingers on Bear and his mates, then the edit switches to one or two other housemates, which doesn't last long, then it's straight back to Bear an co. talking about tits and penises or something and stays on them for ages. Now and again it makes a fleeting switch to one or two other housemates, which may last for literally seconds, then it's back to Bear again, where it can stay on them for about 10 minutes or more. And this cycle continues for the duration of the live feed.

What this forum never gets is the show won't be made for a middle aged audience.

To the demographic of the show they want the likes of marnie Bear and Lewis are the stars of the show because they are the most well known to younger people .

The audience dipped once lateysha left in the main one and a lot of young fans of the show were angry.

Arguably younger people deserting the show contributed to Jason's win

The won't allow that as happen as the chosen demographic they want don't see Sam fox having a chat with James whale about the old days .

This is why nothing will change and the older ones will remain lower profile to the story generators

Part of the problem is the format of the highlights show itself these days

Too much time is taken up with pointless "previously" and "coming up" segments

Then there is the inevitable highlight consuming daily 'task' and 'secret mission' nonsense or some 'game' that the housemates have been ordered to play

What with all that and the advert breaks, there simply isn't the time to show what viewers actually want to see

I have a 2 minute skip button which I press immediately after the show starts and that just about takes you to the beginning of the actual programme.

They do it on the live shows too. Cut interviews short then have a 3 minute VT of some bullshit no-one wants to see. Happens a lot.

That's sort of like saying that ALL younger people are completely vacuous and talk of nothing but sex? Surely youngsters have other interests?

It's a fair point. Why not just have a house full of people like the knobsquad? It would be a volatile, chaotic, putrid cesspool of hate and arrogance. Sounds like the direction Channel 5 want to head in.

Won't be long.

Of course they do and I know many younger people who feel the same way as most of us about Bear and Co. There seems to be a lot of ageist comments from certain FM's. If the programme is purely for younger people then it should be on CBeebies or a similar kids programme.

But why turn BB into another Towie? The younger viewers already have Towie, G/S and a few more shows of this ilk, why can't they leave our BB alone. I'm not against a little updating but it really has gone too far now.

The show is only about 40 mins long once the ads have been taken into account. I'd love to see a 2 hr highlights show instead. SOTs should never ever have been an hour long.
