People wonder why they are at the forefront of the show but tonight gave you the reason.

The publicity in the newspapers decent ratings and so on.

This is why they want most of them in the final.

If one of them wins most likely bear or marnie the production line will keep on coming

Yes, a point that some of us don't like but got to admit and get used too.

What reason? Drunken thugs and geordie sluts?

Anyone from the non reality crowd could pick fights and run around naked but obviously choose not to. There's no talent in that whatsoever.

And apparently that is what interests the target viewers Ch 5 are after regardless of if "we" like it or not.

What? Tackiness?

It is what interests the target audience

Social media has exploded tonight... and that's what 5 want.

lol at Marnie saying it was a romantic shower when she was giving him a blowjob. She's deluded. Maybe that is her idea of romantic

Why do these relationships have to be a the forefront of the show? They happen within the first few days these days. Getting really old now.

Let's be honest, they're more fun and more entertaining.

How would we know? We don't see anything any more. They had a whole party tonight that was cut out

Not in my opinion, they are nasty with not one redeeming feature between them.

I assume the party will be shown tomorrow

I didn't say I liked them as people, but they're keeping it entertaining (imo at least).

I want to see more of Sam & Ricky

So true. Most of us long term BB viewers are no longer a concern for C5. The channel doesn't want us viewing. And I suppose we've got to accept it. That doesn't make it easy....I keep watching because I'm hoping this new style BB will run its course and we'll see a return of the old. But it's not going to happen, sadly.

You could say they're specially trained by the producers of their reality shows .

That's true and its one of the reasons why it doesn't bother me despite being a viewer of a lot of years .

I accept it for what it is and try and go with it.

So many forum members will not for their own reasons and feel proud that they dont know who current people on TV are

This is why i don't watch it anymore, it will never change again now, Ch5 have permanently damaged it.

Basically, the people that don't like it should accept it for what it is or just turn off, i would advise them to turn off.

This is why I end up not enjoying CBB a lot of the time. and this is the worst ever example of it turning into a mini Ex On The Beach sort of thing. They've chucked in a few reality "stars", two of whom are Viacom, and it's them taking up the airtime with their turgid showmances. It's becasue they know that the audiences of Geordie Shore, Ex, TOWIE etc. all watch this compared to the civilian one, but I wish they'd leave all this sex and showmance crap to those shows. There are enough of them, so why make CBB just another one... It's a real shame because they have some amazing housemates, potentially, that aren't getting shown enough in favour of a few who the dumb masses will lap up.

I'd agree here. Unfortunately this CBB has descended into the most dumbed down version in years, we may as well be watching Geordie Shore or TOWIE.

I'd normally stick with CBB through thick and thin, but I'm finding this series virtually unwatchable and I may well ditch it.

On live feed tonight the non reality crowd were lying in bed ... not sleeping is my guess, because the lights were on, but just lying there , pretending to be asleep

There's no talent in that whatsoever, either ... money for old rope, let's be fair

Doing what ? ... sitting on the smoking bench sucking on their e fags, talking about Bear

because that's all they do, let's be honest

Maybe in your world, but not in mine.

To be honest, no they're not

We live in hope that things can only get better.

Evidently a very small audience.
