Never say never...but it's hard to know how they will ever spark my interest again.

I understand scripted reality stars are cheap, willing and providing outrage and drama is their day job...but when you bring that onto BB in droves it stops being CBB.

A total ban on scripted reality stars - or the format is dead.

After Andre, they have DITCHED reality stars on Strictly, thank God.

I don't think that's what they want on CBB though, they want some shite niche extra reality programme.

And as I've said before, it's the die hard BB fans that are getting in the way.

Let 'em have it.

Oh I'll be watching again. CBB, that is.

I watch two RTV shows faithfully, CBB and IAC, and I watch both for two very specific reasons: both take up a maximum of 4 weeks of my life (I can happily afford that), and both always feature at least a couple of people that I either really like and/or find 'interesting' for one reason or another, and that's all I need for my 4 weeks of 'effort'. It's lite ent.

So no matter how awful one series is (and this one really was grim), once it's done, it's gone, and really has no impact on my feelings about or (lack of) interest in the next one.

I'll likely watch the first episode of each series...but in regards to CBB I'll feel a chunk of vomit in my throat each time they cast a housemate from Geordie Shore or Ex on the Beach (or any MTV show)...

....as you know it's simply going to be used as a cross promotional tool for those shows/housemates.

My wife has watched every BB ever , and for the first time ever she turned off when the Brainless chav won it ...

you'll all be back .


.

Very much this!!!! To those saying "You'll be back next year", yes, I probably will watch the first one. After that, it's down to the producers and their people choices! I stopped watching the final about halfway through, when it was obvious Bear was going to win. I haven't, and won't, watch the rest of the episode.

I've not properly watched since Helen Wood won.
And not seen a minute of this CBB.

I have been watching BB since the very beginning in 2000, i have experienced all the highs and the (many) lows but have never been put off coming back year after year. Its become something of a habit, maybe i am even addicted? I dont know, i just know i cant let go, ever since i discovered places like this, it has got even worse lol But BB has actually affected me in ways i would never have imagined back in 2000, i have met people (in real life as well as online) and been to places i had never been to before all because of BB. I owe a lot to BB, even more than i have admitted here, whilst i'll never experience the ultimate highs again, no matter how bad it gets, it is still something i enjoy for all that it has become, and i acccept the flaws are now permanent and so have to put with them but even so any BB is better then no BB for me , and so i remain loyal to this day.

and I always will.

I'll hold my hands up, I am one of the ones who has been saying they are going to stop watching for years, but usually gets reeled back in, However this years Civvy series, after a couple of episodes I simply felt no desire to watch the bunch of numpties. I stayed away.
I thought watching this series of CBB would be my consolation, but once again I managed two episodes then felt no need to watch.

I am confident that if the chav element remains next year I'll just not bother. For me BB has been dead a while now, its just I've hung on in hope it will change back.

Will I be back If it does lose the chav element? Yep, like a shot.

One consolation of which I am proud - Not watched a second of BOTS for two entire series, And I feel much better for it.

I'm out!

It isn't CBB any more though ..It's reality Trash House now ..so if the same GS Towie and all the rest of the NON CELEBS are in ..Then not watching .May be see how normal BB is .

Stopped watching both a couple of years ago. Was not enjoying them anymore, way too much manipulation, outside interference, and the standard of HM was getting appalling. And who they call a 'celebrity' is not my definition. Too many GS types which I detest.

I hope people stick to their guns who say no more. The only possible way producers may listen....and I know it's clutching at straws, is if ratings drop.

I am gone, the reason why is the number warnings given to bear especially after the water bottle stuff with Sam, bear was kept in (no matter what he did) and given the most airtime on the show, just to be a promotional tool of MTV reality shows.

Hopefully no celebrity beyond a reality tv star, will agree to go on the show in January, so the producers get it, as Emma Wills stated we do not want big brother to be another version of ex on the beach or Georgie Shore.

Bear winning the show has only promised that this trend will continue.

I switched over then too. First time I didn't see the winner's interview etc.. or BOTS.
I don't think I could stomach another CBB - especially if it's overtaken by the yob brigade but I will probably take part in the forum.

After this summers BB and CBB I have had enough it's been getting worse over the years but this year has sunk to an all time low for me.

Seeing that disgusting, vile, obnoxious, rude, ill mannered moron come out of that house where he caused so much mayhem as the winner finished me.

Even BBOTS this year has been just as bad with Rylan doing auditions for trying to get on other shows with his pathetic dancing and rapping every evening does my head in.

The thought of him taking over as main presenter if Emma goes -well what can I say really 😱😱😱

Have been an avid viewer since 2000 and really enjoyed the Channel 4 years. I know things change and you have to move on and all that but since being on Channel 5 it has really deteriorated.

I thought this CBB was awful and stopped watching the HLs. I thought the summer BB was OK and watched it throughout for the first time in 2 years. I think I'll judge each series on its merits and either watch or not. It's no longer 'must see' for me.

Think I turned off about half way through CBB, I even cancelled recording the series which was a first for me.

I won't be watching again. The shocking thing was that after watching since the very first BB, I did not even miss it for a second which I thought I would. I know I have made the right decision as I don't agree with the producers wanting to put BB on at a later time, some were even discussing 11pm, wtf.
Looks like they want all the showmances and sex in the house if they want it on that late.

I think it is far too late for BB to come back from the mess they made of this series, the bias, the contrived editing, the falseness of it all. The only way it will survive is to go back to the original format and even live feed.

I gave up on BB and CBB a while back, The only real interest I remotely have of the show is this forum but even posts here haven't swayed me into trying to catch up and watch, not because the posts haven't been good to read but because it all seems like ssdd in the BB house. Gone are the days of things happening naturally which is what I enjoyed the most about BB, it all just feels so scripted now and the housemates are coerced into behaving in a certain way.

I can't even muster up enough enthusiasm to watch launch nights. I used to say i'd watch those to see who was going in but I gave up on that too.

At least I no longer feel like a lost puppy when the show ends, I guess that's a bonus

I will wait and see if they have an All Stars or Ultimate version and might watch that.

My plan now is to enjoy the current series of Survivor Au which has been great so far. IMACGMOOH UK, IMACGMOOH Au, BB Canada next year because the 4th series was entertaining and fun to watch with the live feed being free.

I will give the normal BB UK a chance next year but the Celeb version is gone for me unless the HM mix improves with some real celebrities. This last summer CBB was unwatchable at times and caused me to give up in last week!

It's odd that before this year, I was still hyping CBB up and putting BB down. IMO CBB has a few strong series in a row and BB had a few weak series.

After these 2 series, it's turned into the opposite. Civvie BB has awakened by thirst for BB as I really enjoyed it.

CBB just gone made me sad. There was a lot of humour in BB, CBB was devoid of any humour bar Tom the security guy.

I said I wouldn't, but I know in January I will be glued again - and outraged. Come on we enjoy moaning about it. I remember the old C4 days when this forum was constantly calling for the sacking of

PEJ

Davina

Dermot

Not necessarily in that order.

....... Agreed.

I will tune in again in January for a look see. I live in hope of being able to watch group dynamics, how people cope with stress and natural behaviour on TV again. But I don't hold out much hope of seeing any in future so will probabaly abandon it as I did (again) this year. Staged reality or as Brian Dowling called it Produced Reality is of no interest to me.

As for all stars with Spedi, Perez, Bear, etc I will watch only if they give them live ammunition.

I blame him for the slippery slope, the biggest error he made was manipulating Nikki Graham back in the house and she could win Fabulous series up to that point
Totally lost the trust of the voters, and also it was the point where HMs became mightier than BB.

Looking back now we didn't realise we had it so good
