Look tha ratings were good in previous years but compare them to other channels aka estenders and x factor who get twice as many viewers.

BB was all about the press attention and thats what made it a phenomenom because the sun or any other tabloid could just grab a live image from live feed and make any story they want which caused viewers to gossip about it whilst reading their newspapers on the train or at the office and wanna switch on..

They could produce actual breaking news but now every bb story in the tabloids is a rehash of last nights episode.

Yea BB was big but what made it bigger was the tabloids which got people talking about it from all walks of life.

Now all we got is the daily star and their "sex den" stroies and fake headlines.
