BB is CHEAP! Sack Davina!

[SurferJay]

i just found out davina makes 90,000 a week!

and yet the prize money for 3 months is 100,000!!

no second prize and way less magazine deals than last year!

bblb and bbbm dont pay!

the house/tasks/props etc are so cheap! (as marcus makes us aware every day)

It would be much more interesting if the money was more as people wouldnt walk out or not care if they go. this year HMs cared way more about "the experience" than winning!

Its making it worse! they should put in 500k prize money.. just sack davina!

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Davina and George to go before bea please! :thumbs:

[MaratSafinForever]

90.000 per week is ridiculous, she does something basically anybody out there could do. Insane.

90000 a week...yet they seem to have a budget of like 50 quid a task?! No wonder BB is going down hill...

[SurferJay]

agree with all above comments lol

People are bored with big brother, it has nothing to do with it going downhill, this year has been 10x better than the last few years. People don't watch big brother for the tasks, they watch it for the people.

You'd think for £90,000 she would have to come up with some AWESOME questions instead of the regurgitated and re-hashed version of the same interview she does every week.:nono:

If you think this year's BB was better than it has been for years then we are clearly watching different shows.

OF COURSE it's gone down hill. You only have to have a look at the lack of money they've spent on the house, the tasks, the organization..............everything!!!!!!:rolleye s:
Yeah....the show is essentially about the housemates but even they can sense and have commented on the lack of things they've been given to do and the fact that this must be one of the worst BB's for years.

It's a widely aknowledged FACT that they've put NO effort into the show this year!

[SurferJay]

bb thinks if they put in more dislikeable ppl they will get higher ratings because of the conflict it entails. i think 50//50. also dumb ppl dont make as good tv

[keithafc]

People are bored of it because most of the people are weirdo's and nut job's with a personality as bland as milk which has been off for 2 weeks.

I know that people dont watch it for the tasks...but they could at least make an effort...

Axing LF did them no favours either, cut Davinas pay packet in half and bring back LF :thumbs:

[MaratSafinForever]

People are bored because although Big Brother is original, it has been done for the last decade. It's pretty repetitive for some people. I still enjoy it though with the right mix of people.

[keithafc]

They should have two tasks a week, (it's only 1 ain't it). 1 for shopping budget, then the other for special prizes for the rst of them.

go davina
nice work if you can get it

The tasks, to me, are basically at the same level they always have been. There are some good ones and some bad ones. Once they go throw a zillion tasks though, they aren't going to get any better. They have been through so many, they must be running out of ideas.

they do have more that one task a week. this week it was the zombie task for shopping and they just had a magazine task and got a party. they have more that one every week and get to earn tokens for themselves

"You'd think for £90,000 she would have to come up with some AWESOME questions instead of the regurgitated and re-hashed version of the same interview she does every week"

I am sure she would love to write her own questions, Davina is only the mouthpiece.

[BONNEIP]

F*@k me £90,000 a week i'd do it for £900 and do a better interviewing job. As for Mr Lamb he can feck off any old time give us bacl LF & diary room uncut.:mad:

[Big_Kahuna]

I like Davinas commitment to BB. She is BB and deserves what money she gets. If it was someone crap like george lamb presenting then I would agree, but Davina has grown with BB and has made eviction nights what they are. Go Davina :dance:

[ourgus]

If she earns 90000 a week, my dicks a bloater!:banana: I promise you it isn't. Probably got it mixed up with a footie story in Heat mag:dance:

[Bombardier]

Davina Out.

[ourgus]

£90000 a year I think. It work out at less than 2000 a week. She was good as a zombie in "Dead set" though:mad:

Presenters make serious cash. Simon Cowell just signed a deal with American Idol for 45 mil a season.

I agree that they could probably increase the size of the prize but the magazine deals will happen if the magazines think they can make the money from the interviews. After all, that is a separate business and they are entitled to make decisions for themselves.

I watch the daily HL shows. 7 shows a week, eviction special is 8... the Big Mouth show and Little Brother shows with another presenter salary and constant editing crews working on shows is a serious production cost. Especially considering that it is a reality TV show, which is supposed to have the cheapest production costs and greatest profit margins for any TV network.

stuff like this really gets up my nose because we have these adverts on the telly begging us to pay money every week to help starving children in Africa -- why don't they ask the people who are earning millions of dollars for some money? i dare say they could give a few grand to buy the kids a new school and clean water or whatever?

Yes well I would certainly have to agree with every word of that. C4 have shown they no longer care about the show or the viewers. The worst thing they could have done was cut the live feed, now we only have the edited highlight show to rely on, which is past history by the time we get to see it. The through the night feed always used to start at around 10-30 now we're lucky if it starts before midnight!!! What useless moron thinks we are going to sit and watch 6 hours of sleeping housemates? Big Mouth is now only once a week rather than the 6 shows a week as in previous years. Basically it all adds up to stuff the viewers, lets make as much money as we possibly can from the fans and give fck all in return. They have even stopped giving some of the money raised from the evictions to charity. I rather they axed the show now rather than see it decline into obscurity. It's almost as if they are softening the fans up gently so there wont be such a public outcry when the axe finally does fall. Considering Big Brother raised C4's viewing figures to record levels, the show and the fans who made it such a success deserve to be treated with a damn sight more respect than what we are having to endure at the moment... :mad:

JAN 2009

Davina McCall gets a big bargain thanks to the credit crunch as she snaps up country mansion for £3.2m Miss McCall, 41, is paid £1.25 million a year to present the reality show and its celebrity version. She also earns millions from fitness DVDs, TV appearances and as the face of Garnier hair dye.

no credit crunch for davina
channel 4 said no 24/7 live feed because of the credit crunch
you decide

[kathypink]

Yes, the actual house and its contents is very boring and cheap this year. How about if they try putting really intellectual people in instead of dimwits - forgive the phrase (I know they aren't all dimwits) - the mind boggles at how differences of opinions/arguments would fare!

[whatever02]

wow they get 100.00 for just sitting in a house

yup, that's why freddie and marcus and siavash and even bea have been a few of the more interesting characters- they have higher intelligence, doesn't necessarily mean that because they're intelligent they should always make good choices but they can at least make bread out of dough lol.

Davina's good at the eviction build up, i'll give her that- no grimace to embarassing for her no line too cheesy- she brushes it off even when they're pretty bad but when it comes to interviews, phhooo that's a lot of money holding up a souffle that hasn't properly risen. :whistle:

SACK (interviewing) DAVINA!

[Braden]

i really do hate the faces that davina uses when she presents
and she tries to be funny when she isnt
i think we need somone younger
like fearne cotten

[bansheewails]

I http://getmesmileys.com/smilies/love0083.gif Davina. She makes the eviction shows for me. She is enthusiatic and you know she watches all the shows just from the comments she makes. Lets face it if davina was gone we would be left with someone like flippin' George, I for one wouldn't watch the eviction shows if they got rid of davina.
