This is a very self indulgent thread counting down to Ashleigh's inevitable eviction and me switching off. I shall update it with my increasing thoughts of despair at the end of Ashleigh on our screens and then my relief that another series of Big Brother is over for me.

why it every single year, every single series, everyone on here is like this show is so awful, i cant watch it anymore, i mean for god sakes, if the show is so bad why are some of you even on here talking about it?
i think this series has been great so far but then again im a canadian and compared to our north american big brothers the bbuk version will always be better but it just seems like some of you brits just like to sh*t all over yourselves sometimes, you have the best bb in the world, hands down, if for whatever reason your one of those people that watch unwillingly every single year in hopes of it going back to the days of the early series on channel 4, its not going to happen, it never will and maybe it is truly time for you to move on.
this is such an old medium for the pulse of the fans tho.. forums, bulletin board type things, skews super old, super old school, when i take a look at twitter for instance, not so much moaning. its like every year the conversations on here get progressively more negative. just deal with your issues or go watch bb usa

If you read the reasons for people switching off it has nothing to do with Matthew being evicted!
I have watched every single Big Brother since it started too, but Channel 5 have been meddling with the format, trying to tun it into another trashy TOWIE clone & this series has just been a joke. For starters they filled the house with a bunch of complete assholes (most of which were found by talent scouts). Helen was given the golden pass & despite being given upteen warnings is still there, the lack of normal nominations & continual manipuation of the show goes against everything Big Brother is supposed to be about. Then the selective editing (done every year) to favour certain housemates or turn us against someone else has been so extreme this series it is laughable. It is obvious that Big Brother has decided who they want in the final & it shouldn't be that way, this show just isn't Big Brother anymore & it is because I am such a fan of the show that I have had enough of this series...
And just because we are not watching does not mean we cannot post on here still.

We all knew what would happen if nominations went ahead as normal (although it's abnormal this series) and there was an eviction. The producers knowing this made the decision to go ahead with it.
In a series that is slowly dying they decided to go with a plan that will see one of - if not the most - popular housemates of the series evicted leaving 3 showmances and Helen putting more and more viewers off. These people are running the show into the ground.

Yes and if they'd opted for any other "system" or "twist" this week you'd have people saying "They're trying to get Christopher out" "They're trying to save [insert name]" "They're manipulating it".

So many Mystic Megs all gathered in one place, we are honoured. Here is me thinking that noms take part tomorrow and the outcome yet not known. Talk about doom and gloom, or is this just a simple case of a premature oiling of the wheels prior to a smooth exit for a de flowered champion or should i say CHUMP.
BB couldnt organise a piss up in a brewery so what makes you all believe they will handle this correctly. They will no doubt aim for one result and miss it by a mile leaving CHUMP number 1 still in tact and safe to bitch for yet another week.
