I think the entertainment has just started!!

I agree with you there. More mini tasks are needed.

I just think by doing 24hr streaming, the format which was orginally about dipping in and out, is coming in for unfair criticism and uneasonable demands from viewers.

It seems the people who are dipping in and out of the series are getting more out of it then the 24hr e4 watchers.

I really don’t agree that tonight’s admittedly excellent task has suddenly made the divide a good idea.


Will the show over the next 7 days be any better than it was last week? As far as I can see the two groups seem more divided than last week which means there is likely to be even less interaction between them. Two bored groups of 4 not doing much is not going to be make the show any better than it was last week regardless of how good tonight’s show was.
I think it would be better if they kept the idea of one group getting all the luxuries whilst the other lived on basics but removed the bars and let the two groups mix with each other.

Hope I am proved wrong.

I've just yet to hear how taking down the divide is going to change this whole boredom factor?

Anyone think the Saturday night challenge is actually better than eviction night now?

What is it with your postings that seem to be a publicity retoric for C4, No-one expecting 24/7 non-stop action but maybe a few hours a week of something of practicing for their tasks as in BB1 & BB2, the format maybe OK for the C4 only viewers, but when we are paying for BB3 as well a TV licence fee this boring crap is annoying.
thats probably why the C4 forums are heavily censored or closed as they are now, to provide a better service????
There has never really been non-stop activity in BB but thats not what we are asking for, we are asking for the weekly tasks to re-instated as in previous series, if the tasks are conclude & be shown LIVE on C4 thats not a problem in my view, but let have some preparation, or some more mini tasks that will break up the boredom.
Its not only boring for the HM's but also for the viewers, thats why most of us are browsing the Web and posting on here and other forums, interest in BB3 is high, but the quality of BB has fallen dramatically, Rich/Poor divide is an excitement in itself but only on the saturday, speculation on who and where they will end up.
tomorrow it will back to, "take the divide down" and plenty of shots of chickens, Jades Gob will get the better of her again.

Quite possibly. The three most creative ones, the ones who think up things to do (i.e. Alex, Adele, and Jade) will now be more comfortable. Sophie might come out of her para-Sunita mope.

And watching Kate, PJ, Spencer, and Johnny be miserblae is highly amusing for those (of us) who think that thay are not only shallow, but, more seriously, mean spirited in the last degree.

If you stick to watching CH4 BB coverage then BB will be good, but watching E4 etc is just plain boring,
BBLB is worth checking out though.

Dammit, i *still* can't start new threads!! How long does this probationary period last??? I guess I'll have to say it here.

The biggest problem with BB3 is that teh challenges last for 5 minutes instead of *days*. Tasks worked better in BB 1 and 2 because they had to spend days practising and training, which meant they were busy doing stuff all week instead of being bored.

So I think the darts challenge would have been so much better if they had spent a few days practising. First of all because it would have given them something to do and made the TV coverage more interesting. But mainly because it would have been a CHALLENGE!

Where is the "challenge" in throwing a dart for possibly the first time in your entire life? Where is the challenge in learning what you have to do moments before you do it, and having your fate decided by pure luck? The darts chellenge would have been more exciting, more interesting (and also more FAIR) if they had been training for it. then their throw of the dart would have MATTERED... they would have been nervous and expectant. The challenge would have been a "challenge"!

And the winner would have had more right to be called a "winner". Spencer and PJ wouldn't have been able to complain, because it would have been like, "You've had 4 days to train with the darts, you should have trained better".

Great television ? You have got to be joking, yeah ? You should check out some other channels.

BB3 is dead.

why are you watching then?

I think tonights task was great TV, certainly beat the crappiness that was the 'general knowledge' task two weeks ago. Admittedly it was more the decisions after the task that were interesting.

Actually I agree with Danno, why can't some of you give Channel 4/Endemol a break? They must be doing something right to have so many people discussing the show.

Said it before, and probably will again, but if you think it's that awful why are you still watching it? Go do something else if you think it's a waste of your time

I don't watch it any more. To say a one shot darts match in a bedroom is good TV is really stretching things a little. BB3 is dead and it is unlikely to survive its run. People watch it to see what a mess Endemol will make of it. The hatred of HMs displayed in this forum would indicate the viewers lack of involvement compared with BB1 and 2. C4 and Endemol are the HMs in this programme. Not many people care which HMs win, they are more interested in whether the producers survive until the end.

They are not challenges they are tasks designed to cause maximum friction. The first just lulled them into a false sense of security, the second was intrinsically unfair and tonights was designed as a chance for someone to act noble or selfish, Alex chose the latter - most of us would have done the same. The bit I don't get is wht they asked for suggestions for tasks in the second week when all this was obviously worked out well ion advance.

Like most things in life, you hope that it will improve, and cling on, like denmark fans.

They are flying home.

Danes on planes.

The so-called tasks are pathetic. I want to see proper challenges that can be practiced in the days before they are tested. The conflict the "prizes" cause are breifly entertaining but are soon forgotten as the HMs know it's really BB who are to blame for their situation. The divide and the production team are killing BB3 by creating depressing television.

For years EastEnders has been called depressing. And look how long it has run and how high up the ratings it stays. Television doesn't have to be about non-stop laughter and Brady Bunch happiness to make it entertaining.

As others have said, if you don't like BB3 switch off. They must be doing something right if we're all still watching.

Danno

Isn't it a little unfair to comment on and condemn a programme you are not even watching? Last night's task show demonstrated things can work. Judging last nights show, which is what this thread is about, on the previous weeks' less than satisfactory tasks is taking a somewhat jaundiced view.

Danno

People are not watching and enjoying an entertaining programme that is building upon is success, we are now watching like a fish tank, BB3 is relying on previous successes to keep the viewing figures up, there are some aspects of BB3 that are good, but unfortunately the producers have made too many changes to a successful formula, we are now left with something akin to survivor.

People are spending more time on the forums rather than watching BB3, ( Well not the Official C4 BB3 Site, cos its closed again ) C4 do not like the high volume of postings that do not agree with their view that BB3 has been a massive success.

I hoping and praying that BB3 is going to improve and live upto its previous series. ignoring public opinion will only go unoticed for so long.

Yes, it has got better in the last couple of days. But theres still a lot of room for improvement

ps. I e-mailed big brother suggesting they had a task about making up a song!!!! And they have. Ok, probably loads of people had that idea, but still! yay!
