View Full Version : Honest Reason Why BB Is Boring this year

I think the reason why Big Brother 7 is boring is because. Like last year Big Brother has chosen housemates who have been involved with publicity before entering the house. They have chosen people who were involved in something like magazines, promotions, tv, media, being an extra etc. Last year they did it with 2 people ie saskia and Makosi.
This year they did it with virtually all the housemates.
Nikki was an extra on eastenders and did her model stuff
Imogen did that modelling stuff as well
So did Ashleyne and the majority of the housemates.
Its not a matter of tasks. Its because throughout the 5 years of bb the housemates were just normal people put in a house. Now big brother is putting people who have plastic surgery, been on tv and documentarys, models, promotions etc! There arent any more ordinary nobodys entering. And to prove my point have you noticed how its always the people who were nobodys before entering that win! Obviously this year bb wanted 2 make this series top rated by putting in fakes, actors. No wonder they can guess all the twists. Had this have been normal people they wouldnt guess. Big Brother has also been editing huge chunks from this series that we would brand as funny. BB isnt getting old and i dont think it should be cancelled.
I think the producers have realised where theyve gone wrong and am sure next year if bb is given a chance the housemates will be ordinary nobodys!

This year hasnt been boring
Its a bit duller now Nikkis left
But its still not boring
Old media housemates means nothing.
They are people aswell

This is what makes the show better..
I agree with the people being too 'famous' but if they have a good personality then who cares? Imogen and Mikey can easily be considered 'nobodies' actually.

I think Big Brother has failed to be spontaineous (:s) and exciting this year. Its messed up all its secrets and its become predictable. There are no comedians...there are people that make you laugh like Jane with her stupidity or Nikki with her whining (for some) but there's no practical jokers...no real relationships....no real rivalry. Also after Sezer went there was no real alpha male. I wanna see some real heated arguements.
I also think BB becomes better when 2 groups form (like at the beginning). Now everybody is all together and its become so slow and boring.

and what was there last year? Eugene? Maxwell?
it's the producers that have made this year crap, they had brilliant characters but let them get kicked out in ways they could of avoided with normal nominations. (Grace and Nikki) and the suitcase thing at the start was attrocious, it got rid of Dawn, who had the potential to be great in my eyes. Even if she was a cheater, no-one would have known :tongue:

A lot of the housemates this year (if not all of them) have clearly been avid viewers of the previous Big Bros. Thats not a bad thing but it does mean that they are much more aware of how the game works, how the public vote, how they are portrayed and what to expect from Big Bro.
It means they are a lot more careful about what they say and do. That pathetic argument over the rat was one example. IMO, some of the housemates (Richard in particular) thought the public would like them more if they showed how concerned they were over the rat's safety. :sleep:
A lot of them are very careful not to say anything too outrageous or controversial, (although equally some of them lack the intellectual capacity to actually hold a contentious opinion on any relevant issues.)
This is why people like Nikki (as much as I hated her) should have stayed. It's also why Jayne should stay and housemates like Richard and Susie should really be the big contenders for eviction.
it's very entertaining. it's a tv show, so people who want to be on tv or in the wider media are naturally drawn to it.

Sorry hated nearly all the people from both those if BB had continued to use the same type of people I'd have switched off.

Well,I think that Reeko has got it about right.I am convinced that the blueprint for BB7 was drawn up with Chantelle still fresh in the producers head.
A good looking but stupid half baked media wannabe.If she had not won the celeb version we might have had an entirely different house,but they saw her victory as a ratings success and chose from there.
I hope BB7 is not the last ,at its best the show is rivetting viewing but at its worst ,as it has often been this year ,it is unessential,boring and embarrassing to all concerned.

I cannot beleive people thought the rat shouldnt have been killed. In London there is 10 rats to every human. We need to start killing these little furballs guys!
yeah, it wasn't a rat though, it's face was too cute -
did rich break its front legs?

The idea of it being normal people put in an unusual situation is what is good. There are too many with similar professions which I would probably still say if they were all plumbers. Which sounds and idea for an extended task.:bigsmile:
They are just sticking too many promotions girls in.

true! you got to look at ash, richard, susie & sezer for a decent conversation because they are older & have more experiance/views on certain subjects. i would be bored stiff if i had mikey, imogen, pete, nikki & glyn to rely on a decent conversation! BB should mix the ages a bit better, way to many under 25s IMHO.
I like the fact that theres younger people in there, the younger ones are the more immature then the older ones i mean just look at Jayne and then theres susie :sleep::sleep: Go Pete! and Jennie! And Mickey!

It's easy to say how boring it is after the last episode which was abit boring maybe you think the whole series has been boring,which i guess would be your opinion.But i'm still very much enjoying the show there's still alot of plots and potential there.

even though there were arguments, they were so vacuous that it wasn't interesting :bored:

Well IMO as all the cool kids are saying Spiral could blow at anym moment which will be very entertaining.Jennie and Glyns relationship is gonna be fun to watch,plus we have that monstrousity by the name of Jayne who i loath yet still it's fun to hate.
nothings going to happen with glyn & jennie, glyn has a better chance with jayne! glyn made me laugh when he said that susie doesnt play spin the bottle, shes a married woman for a start, & as for the saliva..... lol.

im just let down
i thought bb wudnt make the same mistake this year
bb5 and bb6 wer strong-great characters etc..
great on production/bb half of thigns too
btw..remember the exciting bb ads/tv spots on channel 4 before ths eries
the twistedness of it all..the inside/outside mixup, which is like a sofa/chandelier and bit of kitchen i may add :p ...but the eye and all..i thought it was goin to be really twisted and nearly evil..
wel...nothing :(
bb are lucky to have had a few gud chacrters there...but each has had their chance to shine ruined e.g. shahbaz!
Well I posted this on another thread, so I have simply copied and pasted my answer from that thread. I think the reason that Big Brother is boring this year is simply lack of decent housemates. BB has become a parody of itself. In the early years, the contestants were pretty representative of their age groups and the British public. We all knew someone like Craig, or someone like Helen, or Kate or Jonny for example. Now, they pick contestants who are complete extremes and stereotypes, and they engineer conflict, instead of just letting conflict arise (which it would do when you stick a group of people in a house together). They deliberately put people in who they know will hate each other, and to be honest, it smacks of a desperate ploy from the program makers. And the whole business of a golden housemate and a secret house, with people thinking they're evicted when they're not really etc., etc. is just way too convoluted. They're trying too hard and going for all out sensationalism.
Not only that, but the housemates themselves are desperate attention seekers, who all see BB as a stepping stone to becoming famous without actually. It's sad in every sense of the word. I honestly think BB7 has sounded the death knoll for the series. Unless they go back to the original format (which is going to be virtually impossible), they should make this the last series.

BB is boring this year because all the good housemates (Sezer, Shabbaz, Nikki, Grace, Lisa) are evicted.
They were funny, amazing.
The new generation of housemates is boring and not representative of English people.
Michael, Aisleyne and Spiral were represented in the past seasons (Craig, Orlaith and Dan).
The "Golden Housemate" is a flop, Suzie is not in gold. lol
The tasks are not entertaining, boring.
But BB has a lot of surpises....

BB5 and BB6 had younger people in longer but we have voted almost all of the young feisty characters out and are stuck with bores like Suzie, Rchard and Michael
