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.
It's a difficult one to get the balance right they need to have older have housemates to appease older viewers. But they are generally background characters unless they do something amazing

What is the point of having older HMS at all then?
You're not supposed to ask intelligent questions like that !!!!

Oh and why spend £100's of thousands on celebs when you can get the entire cast of the trash shows for a case of booze and a kebab ???

Maybe DDB can enlighten us all..............him being the expert on all things BB.......

I am so over channel 5 Big Brother, these producers are one trick ponies, just like their reality housemates. It is just a variation of Towie or Geordie shore. Loud, foul mouthed nobodies who are happy to strip off, have sex, or pretend to, have fake romances to sell to the trashy mags, throw tantrums and act thick.

It's the same every series now. I pretty much tune in to see who gets evicted, or only watch the recorded show if the feedback on here sounds like there was something worth watching.

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
I think you may be confusing what you think young people want compared to what they actually want.
If what you say was true, with young people being the show's main demographic, then why did the voters for CBB vote for several old and older housemates to win over their younger counterparts? And in BB the voters just voted for the oldest winner of BB.

What you seem to be doing is associating a very shallow and material outlook on life with young people. But this may not be an accurate reflection of reality. And a mistake which BB itself may be making.

They're only background characters if BB choose to edit them as background characters.

Channel 5 created a stockpile of cheap celebrities so they don`t have to pay for proper ones.. Just think how cheap it must be to get Lateysh on the BB panel. This is how they do it, send nobodies in to CBB and they come out as celebrities.. like magic

That's sort of like saying that ALL younger people are completely vacuous and talk of nothing but sex? Surely youngsters have other interests?
Which they probably do, which is why they turn to the internet to serve their needs.
I think that this is because traditional terrestrial television execs have an inbuilt prejudice in that they think they know what young people like, what old people like, and think that they have it nailed down as a perfected science. Their own conformation bias feeds into this belief and so they maintain these views even when the world is changing around them.

It will be true that some young people like vacuous shallow nonsense, as would some old people, but many, if not most, young people may not. This view has probably been held for decades.
The TV execs are probably so entrenched in this belief that they really do not understand why more and more young people are flocking to the internet at the expense of terrestrial television as the years go by. And they are probably scratching their heads wondering why young people are not liking what they keep telling young people what they ought to like. It does not seem to compute with them. Especially when older housemates win CBB.

They're definitely putting some people in there because they can be relied on to create drama. Personally, the sort of things they do tend to make me uninterested in tuning in, in fact I've watched less BB and CBB this year than any year so far, because I've seen enough aggressive and nasty people in real life.

I guess the producers of this show must believe that the number of people who'll turn off due to it is lower than those who'll tune in to see it.

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 '
Great post,I agree with your comments. Unfortunatley the producers care nothing for the public and what they want to see.The worse the behaviour the more the powers that be like them.its been very apparant since channel 5 took over.

Fat boy picked his nose

Sam is in bed

Rennie is in bed

Wale is looking moody

Aubury or whatever her name is has changed her name to wolfie and is spitting everywhere

Exactly. And the mutton-headed Towie/Geordie types are relentlessly shoved in our faces, regardless of whether they are entertaining or not. The rot started with Charlotte Crosby and has exacerbated ever since.

Yep I agree with you OP, but the reality tw*ts are apparently popular with "the yoooof". Glad I don't have kids!

When you use fast forward on your remote , Bots actually only lasts 11 minutes and 24 seconds!
That long I reckon we could get it down to under 8mins of worthwhile action with a bit of Olympics-style determination.

Perhaps the other HMs are boring and BB have nothing worth updating.

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.
It is boring the first time it is showed.....This CBB is especially edited badly.

Very true. If I wanted to watch dreadful cr_p like TOWIE or GS, I would, but I avoid these shows like the plague, To have at least 4 (not counting US) non-celebrities in CBB is ridiculous - and it is making it unwatchable.

I know a few people in teens and early 20's and like me they can not stand these TOWIE, GS and EOTB types. They want to see real people not these reality knobheads. It is not just older people who have this opinion

Awful fake couple, maybe even the worst ever showmance on Big Brother of all time
I actually hate Lewis nothing is genuine about him. Please be voted out asap
