Too much showmance not enough celeb moments

[alex_front2]

There is too much emphasis on Danica/Situation/ Lorenzo and Rhian/ Ashley. We hardly see Martin Kemp, Samantha and yes even Harvey.

So disapppointing when you consider past CBBs with great characters like Jack Dee Vanessa Feltz Mark Owen Les Dennis Bez Tina Malone, Verne Coolio, George Galloway, Rula Lenska, Barrymore and Pete Burns, Jackie Stallone, Germaine Greer and John McCririck, Leo Sayer, Jermaine Jackson, Ken Russell.

The whole shows are now about showmances, so- easy - even -a -cretin - would -pass tasks, joylessness mixed into nonstop bitching & animosity, and eviction mob booing anyone at all costs - even nice Lorenzo.

Then there were really entertaining tasks that made you howl with laughter (Verne and Tina as Romeo and Juliet) Verne crashing into the Diary room door on his little scooter, George Galloway pretending to be a cat. Channel 5 needs to buck it's ideas up.

The tasks aren't funny and the celebs are not being given a chance to make complete tits of
themselves. Concentrating on the non entities such as Rhian in the house is a bad move.

We need to get Ashleigh and the sluts out.

[Jords]

Its dismal viewing now.

[reece(:]

So boring and so many recycled ideas and HMs :sleep:

[Nedusa]

This series promised so much in the beginning, we were all quite pleased on launch night because the list of CBB HM was reasonably interesting for a change. But sadly after 10 days we are not really seeing the show we thought we would get. The HL have concentrated on the flirting between the younger HM and the unpredictable nature of Jasmine.

The bigger more recognised Celebs have not really been in the show as main players and as such I think we all feel short changed. A lot of the blame must be shared by the BB production team who have deliberately focused on the younger HM.

Maybe as the numbers drop the bigger characters may finally get a chance to shine.

BB team are making it too soap: big SL is danicas "love triangle", so thats all we see to exclusion of anything else.

[Gillian-73]

We need Danica out her going would put an end to most of it!

Yes, it's tedious. You could easily forget some of them are still there

[waterhog]

you say all this - but i hope you don't buy the mag when they sell there exclusive as like you - its so boring.

[Cherie]

the whole series is a total let down so far and I cant see it improving...the older ones are being far too mindful of how they are protrayed so even if danica and rhian get the boot, i cant see it improving.. plus the tasks have been far too tame....

[chuff me dizzy]

Spoiling the entire show ,I odnt watch bb to watch silly boys running after tarts who dont even fancy them ,STOP giving it airtime bb FGS

I have never bought or read any of those trashy celeb mags so won't be starting now :D

[muchadoaboutnothing]

You are so right Alex. Whilst I'm not a fan of Cheryls and pleased that she was booted out on Friday night, I was watching her best and worst bits and thought I would have rather seen some of them than the so called love triangle and especially about HMs we have never heard off. We see HMs best (or worst) bits on HL shows and wonder why they were not shown in the HL show - a big disappointment.

Tasks have been bad and at least three have ridiculed Danica, i don't like her but it doesn't seem fair.

[Flamingjoe]

I'm so glad I stopped watching after Jasmine left, it sounds terrible now.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Today's show will be good but it will go back to being crap tomorrow

[Kazanne]

I've got fed up of watching now,the way those kids are behaving is so pathetic,is there a man or lady amongst them?They have totally ruined the show,so not fussed now about it.

[sampvt]

The bb prods are clueless. They think all we want to see are tits and sex. The show has lost its sparkle due to an over active and perverted line that the prods are following. When big names like Julie, julian and martin are over shadowed by a 2 bit hooker and a septic tank pumped full of steroids, then we all know whats what. Endamol need to get to grips with their sponsorship and the way the series goes out. Bad tasks, stupid storylines, deliberate and questionable ethics and the inclussion of hookers and slags to get a story is so far down the foodchain its laughable.

[dyfed]

I am so over this so called love triangle,it has become boring to say the least....they are behaving like immature school kids,you would think with the likes of Julie,Julian and Mike they would be able to get better footage then what we are getting.

[Nedusa]

Makes you think back to the golden days of CBB with George Galloway or Verne Troyer or Jackie Stallone.

It's a shame because there are enough big characters in there to have a memorable show, but it's not happening...!!!

[Munchkins]

Tbf we won't get many celeb moments since the house is full of Z-listers..
Plus once Danica/Rhian go, we all know Saint Julie will be shoved down our throat for the remainder of the series

[alex_front2]

One of my fav CBB moments was series 2
with Mark Owens head on a chair thing "bb we've
gone 2 days without any food. we're wasting away".
it was v funny cute but inconsequential. it would not
get shown now as its not part of a SL.

[Gillian-73]

No not in the younger group. Best thing that could happen Wednesday is for Danica to be evicted her going would put a stop to most of this boring crap

[sampvt]

You are all missing the point. The celebs dont make the program, the tasks and the storylines do. The juvenile and self obsessed idiot teenager with the annoying voice that runs the tasks is clueless. Sack her, get the tits and bums stories to a minimum and give us some humiliating tasks that levels their egos and we get a show. Endamol is throwing good money after bad by allowing ch5 to let these self absorbed tossers to run the show into the ground. All they want to do is get their mugs on BBBOTS. FCS the live producer Jamie is using the program as his own dating site. In the beginning Helen in the sweaty box was good, now she is acting and dressing like a diva.

I agree but until they do, if they ever do, change the staff we're stuck with what we've got! Danica out Wednesday would be best case scenario, cuts the silly nomances by more than half.

Couldn't have put it better myself. They have some good housemates in there and all we see is Danica flaunting her assets. The only hope this BB has is if she is evicted on Wednesday. We had the same thing with Jasmine in the first week. Why have the likes of Julian, Julie, Martin in there if all we are seeing is the no marks. I am not remotely interested in seeing anymore of the supposed "love triangle" because quite frankly who gives a damn!

[Razor]

Showmances bore the hell out of me. I totally agree with the OP we need to see more of the other house guests.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

There is too much emphasis on Danica/Situation/ Lorenzo and Rhian/ Ashley. We hardly see Martin Kemp, Samantha and yes even Harvey.

So disapppointing when you consider past CBBs with great characters like Jack Dee Vanessa Feltz Mark Owen Les Dennis Bez Tina Malone, Verne Coolio, George Galloway, Rula Lenska, Barrymore and Pete Burns, Jackie Stallone, Germaine Greer and John McCririck, Leo Sayer, Jermaine Jackson, Ken Russell.

Absolutely agree with you, I was really excited, about this series when I saw the lineup on launch night, there a decent crowd of celeb in there, but yet again they want to focus on romance:sleep:

[reece(:]

Yep I miss when CBB would have more prominence, remember CBB3 - the main ones you can remember are John Mccririck, Jackie Stallone and Germaine Greer - all for the right reasons. The oldies on this one have been pushed to the side and ignored.

Agree what has happened to all the laughs in BB. This was my favourite CBB of all time. I remember crying with laughter a good few times. John and Jackies exchanges were just hilarious and the fact that she was totally oblivious to what she had let herself in for was so funny. Never forget her in the diary room telling them that she thought it would be a mansion and that it would be nice if they could provide a harpist with their meal...priceless.

Shame that's it's evolved to manufactured dull showmances and fake flirtationships. BORING

[gravity]

Maybe there isn't a lot of celebrity moments because only like 5 people are legitimate celebs.

[alex_front2]

I remember in early CBB there was flirting but this was barely shown.

In CBB3 Jeremy Edwards and Caprice had a mild attraction but it was barely touched upon - the stars were Jackie John M, Bez and Germaine - now the Caprice/Jeremy flirtation would dominate HL show.

Silly pointless but just a bit of fun fluff

[sampvt]

New production team, new ideas, nobody over 17 allowed to work there and sex and sluts are the order of the day. Hail the end of BB and CBB if these muppets are allowed to continue.

[alex_front2]

The task lass Jennings seems nice, and I am all for giving youth a chance but she seems too young to be the task producer

[the truth]

agrreed showmance is bore mance. lets have some real entertainment. enjoyed kemps rock star smash up, julies whacky chats and pigeon messages, julians fairy tale oooer missus, harvey and ashleys morning glory was funny, their unison is good vibes...cant say ive enjoyed anything about colleen though what a sad self absorbed petty bore
