Because the housemates get on so well, there obviously seems no point.

I think the show has gone dramatically downhill since Rachael left. There's no conflict any more and nothing to talk about. They're just too damn nice to each other. It really is like BB4 all over again.

And worst still is the Shabby/Caoimhe borefest. That was cringeworthy last night.

WTF its a great series.
Dont watch it then if you dont like it, but you wont be able to see BB ever sagain if you give it a miss.

Also ratings dont agree with that its a "fail" its half a million up on BB10 :joker:

I'm sorry theres no punching like there is in TRW, probably because that is mostly fake and staged.

boring or not, I say not, it wouldnt effect them offering odds on the winner.

Juvenile cheap shots aside, has anyone heard anything?

BB10 was left in a mess after BB9 but the viewing figures grew considerable by the end of the series. It will be the exact opposite for BB11.
The only reason you like this series is because you want it to be good, because its the last, so you have started to believe this **** is good.

LOL why would i pretend to like a series and waste my time with it? :joker: :joker:
Obviously im watching it because Im enjoying it, people who watch it and slate it IMO have too much time on their hands.

No Bookie will offer odds if there is a whiff of "rigging".

Atm yeah BB10 looks FAR FAR better than BB11 but that may change as the weeks go on.

Well if they get new housemates in there fast then things might change around but I can't see it happening really
I just hope this series doesn't effect the All Star series.

They will get new HMs in there and alot of them too, PEJ said that before the show started and the reason I think he said there will be alot of newbies is because the shortlist still has 60 people on it.

I don't think BB11 will effect BBAS, I can see BBAS getting alot more ratings than BB11 actually.

But I just wish BBAllStars aired at least a week or so after BB11 that way the series could wrap up and end with the winner walking out, the BBLB reunion etc like a proper series.

Now it won't get that because we will jump straight from BB11 into BB All Stars.

They should have done votes to save at the start to get rid of some of the bores. As it is we know there's only a small group who can really survive the hate votes.

Ironically, Paddy Power is the only bookmaker offering odds on there at the moment :)

Don't they close the book each week until the runners and riders are announced? I.e. post nominations.

The only reason you like this series is because you want it to be good, because its the last, so you have started to believe this **** is good.hahaha you fail at life its a great series and people are really enjoying it as is reflected in the viewing figures but your not bright enough to enjoy anything other than fighting or arguing believe it or not thats not what most people want to see.
if people wanted to see a bunch of morons fighting and arguing in a staged and rehearsed manner then the real world would interest more people than it does.

Someone posted this at another forum and I agree with it completely....

The thing is, with BB9 there was a clear divide in the house from almost the get go because of the luxury and B Block rooms. There was a lot more white trash like Denis to cause a real rukus.

BB10 also a divide from early on with Freddie and Marcus v.s. Karly's group. You had a lot of hot heads as well and weirdos like Angel and then the Noirin thing.

This year, there are a lot of neutral middle people a lot like Sophie. But even Sophie had bitches about Freddie.

Iffy, Steve, Nathan, Josie, Camoihhaha (what a weird name), and ,Mario are all neutrals who I really don't think will develop into big characters and the only reason Noirin became interesting was because everyone wanted to bang her. This season, the only bangable one was harrassed and voted out of the house on week 1.

and the people left like Sunstroke, Dave, Govan, Shabby are all just blah in terms of entertainment. You just want them off the screen. Least with people like Denis and Jen we got huge fights. and there are no real instigators like Rex or Marcus/Freddie to light stuff up except JJ and he does a **** job at it.

The only two people who are decent are Ben and Corin and Ben will be voted out cause the Brits hate really good looking women and anyone posh.

I don't see this season picking up steam unless they throw in some good intruders in a few weeks.

There are no real controversial characters this year to instigate stuff like there were the past few seasons.

I am not sure if this is the case, but it sounds reasonable.

Apparently they are down for price revisions and wll be back up in the morning.

Most of the Bookmakers suspend their BB markets overnight. The do this in case something significant goes down and they get stuck in the wrong odds when they've nobody around to respond.
