But you can't argue with the basic tenet of the article that BB4 has been a complete disaster Papyrus.Everyone seems agreed on this,even the pople on these forums. ”
You're right I am not entirely happy with the way there has been a downtrend since Jon and Fed etc left and I am fully aware of the ethos of the consensual majority.
I argued at the beginning of BB4 about the format and programme being so diluted nowadays that it is really hard to magically create a spontaneous success... Emulating past BB's successfully is a tricky measure. For many varied reasons. Boredom playing a large part.
I do agree in part, that the mixture of the people is fundamental to any requisite BB success but do not solely hold them accountable for the current apathy. Also, I do not hold the producers whole-heartedly responsible either.
There are a myriad of combining factors that have led to this apparent demise. And earlier on the FA2 forum I sent out a message to the Producers at Endemol/BBC, warning them that personality choice is 'key' for that programme based on what I've read here...
There is a principle in Psychology that is called the primacy/receny principle and therein I could construe that regular watchers of BB would and could easily be bored by following BBs.
However, I know there are many newly converted viewers that are also feeling mired in the apparent dissolution of BB.
I won't categorically state that BB has been a 'complete disaster' because the notion of Reality TV lies exactly in those words. If someone ever tells you that 'reality TV' isn't reality; then explain that it's very similar to real reality in as much as you create your own.
...And maybe that's part of the problem there, the remaining HMs have created for themselves a distorted vision of even their own reality.
Categorically, all I will say in BBs defence at this time, is that I hope BB5 satiates the viewing public alike yesteryear.
And that's the most balanced view I can offer after being up for over 24 hours...
