BB4 being so boring as it has been and C4 getting so desperate (hearing news about anouska going to BB australia) that there making up rules as they go along, should they just pack it in?

No, It's just different this year, & not what people expected. THIS is reality TV, what happens happens.

IMO BB4 was always going to "fail" after BB3.

Nope, Every series is going to be different. This year the housemates are much quieter then in previous years and so people are getting bored with it. They are still watching the show though aren't they?
Next year will be totally different again, new housmates, new look house, and new twists.
BB has plenty of life in it yet - they just have to make sure that the housemates do too

if they learn from the mistakes of this year, next years should be good

They should choose a different production team, and get grown-ups to write the oafish site stories, that might work.

I think BB should take a one year break!

That way the BB producers will have enough time to think up a new format for the show!

But surelly they could of thinked up a better format this year

All BB depends on for success is the choice of housemates. Get that right...... and you have a huge hit . Simple as that. They have to get it right next year after this

Yeah I'd say scrap it, the bubble has burst.

and change the location of the house from a residential area.

I think there will be a BB5, but that goes wrong, then BBUK is finished.

There's also the possibility that there's a backlash brewing against the "reality TV" genre and that BB should naturally come to an end before it *really* withers away and dies.

TV now deals in fads. The schedules of 2000-02 were littered with "nostalgia" shows (I Love The Seventies/Eighties, 100 Greatest Kids' TV, Top Ten Gardening Programmes) - no sign of them now. Basically because viewers simply got tired of them and I believe that a similar thing will happen with BB and other shows of that ilk.

The genre will basically burn itself out.

Things which may save the show:

-- a new presenter instead of Davina, somebody controversial like Chris Evans

-- a new way of producing the show, maybe have a commentator who narrates it like a proper story along with swaying music for romantic bits and screeching violins for when things become tense and a fight is about to break out

-- choose housemates who are a volatile bunch

-- completely go to town on them when they're in there and show every single embarrassing moment, have the cameras be even more intrusive going right up their nostrils even

-- evict them in "nasty" ways like into a pool of water or something

Just a few ideas anyway.

totally agree about the new presnter and more volatile housemates

I live in eternal hope.

It shouldn't be canned but banned.
Not seriously of course but it really is rubbish.
