Worst Production Decision of 2017

[BBUK-Fan]

What is the worst production decision of Big Brother 2017?

From CBB19, BB18 and CBB20, what was the worst decision that production made that has ruined the show for you?

- Too many backdoor evictions
- Too many housemates in CBB19 and BB18
- Failed promise of 'United Kingdom of Big Brother'
- Only 2 rounds of nominations in CBB20
- Bad shopping tasks that require no skill
- 4 person final for BB18 and Andrew's pointless stay until the final day
- Flash votes in CBB19 and CBB20
- Bad casting, BB18's UK of BB being reality stars
- Wasting money on pointless things, The Vault,
- Overall bad planning, CBB20 Shaun given a bad launch night task,
- Less Outside Contact

the ****e 'tasks'

[BBUK-Fan]

the ****e 'tasks'

Good one. BB18 was just podiums all the time. I think CBB19 had the best tasks this year

[Ant.]

The decision to (pretty much) backdoor evict half the cast in BB18 (and have 22 housemates in a 54 day series to an extent)

[supertv247]

CBB19 would have to be the housemates :shrug:
Putting in someone like Ray J only to realise a few days later they'd ****ed up when they could've just had people like Kim from the get go.
BB18 would have to be having 22 housemates in a 54 day series
CBB20 hasn't been bad but I'd say the lack of shopping tasks/continuous immunity meddling

[Osjama]

The fact there was a nomination twist like every week that favoured getting rid of personalities over getting rid of dead weight

Also the tasks were meh

Cbb19 had a few good ones ig

The only good bb18 tasks I can remember was the political debate one and the personaility label one and they weren't even good tasks it was just the people in the task that made them hilarious

Cbb20 had the criminal task which was great but all the others sucked

[BBUK-Fan]

The decision to (pretty much) backdoor evict half the cast in BB18 (and have 22 housemates in a 54 day series to an extent)

The thing I hate the most is backdoor evictions. Too many housemates in BB18 and I hate how Kieran and Hannah had backdoor evictions when Savannah got a front door one.

[Epic.]

The over-production in the last few days of BB18. They could've just done a Chanelle & Hannah fake eviction, make them nominate, evict Charlotte backdoor halfway through the week, open the VTW, evict 2 and boom you have your 6 finalists.

Instead they straight evicted Chanelle and Ellie, did a NON-LIVE fake HOUSEMATE VOTE eviction of Tom and Hannah, a backdoor eviction of Charlotte, and then a DOUBLE backdoor eviction in a VTW despite the fact that we already had 6 finalists

the sleeping task in CBB19 was the only one I liked tbh

It was stupid having so many housemates (22) and whittling them down to the final of 4 (Forget Andrew)

[BBUK-Fan]

That kept them awake I think so it was good and actually made them work for it a bit

35ws\rygdvsw\s4rdt Andrew being given a pass to the final day was straight garbage

Definitely a kick on the face when Hannah and Kieran lasted 52 days and Savannah only did a week, nd provided less to the series. If backdoors need to happen, make them happen early on in the series so the housemates who last long get the full experience and a deserving exit through the front door. 22 housemates is what the 13 week series of C4 had, so why they tried to have 22 housemates in an 8 week series I'll never know

Free sue in the final

[BBUK-Fan]

Nobody wanted him there. The housemates didnt but I guess they kept him for any more drama that could have been squeezed out of him. "Hell's coming!"

Completely agree. Backdoor Eviction at the beginning to get rid of the first few

[Ant.]

I mean I guess he was the 2nd chance winner so he should leave on the final day but he should've left with Sam. They clearly only kept him to the final because they thought he'd cause drama (which he did, but it was piss poor drama... "HELL'S COMING!" ok...)

Even the longer, 13 week series had six people finales. There was no point in making it a 4 person finale

[supertv247]

Opening the door for Sukhvinder
They should've kept that shut until she went back down!

[Ryan__]

I'd say the only two poor production decisions in CBB20 have been the (lack of) shopping tasks and the flash vote last week.

[y.winter]

The ridiculous amount of backdoor evictions.

1. Andrew was kept for any last drama

2. I guess the 4 person final was to keep up with Love Island but why?

[Maxxie.]

CBB19 would have to be the housemates :shrug:

Kim wouldn't have been as iconic if she was in it from the start, she said she acted crazy af because of the dynamic of being a new housemate.

I like 4 person finals there simple, clean and not tiresome.

[supertv247]

Fair enough, but they still wasted so much money on a below average cast to start with

[Ant.]

Completely agree. Backdoor Eviction at the beginning to get rid of the first few

Which is why I didn't exactly mind Jasmine's in CBB19 (a bit **** housemates evicted her, especially after they voted to evict Austin days prior - which also annoyed me in CBB19 and BB18 - the fact housemates voted to evict housemates quite often, it's nice if we know it's happening more than a day before and if it's planned and as a twist once in a while but they went overboard this year) because she left on Day 12, which was practically a third way through the series so it didn't feel too bad? Whereas we had 4 backdoor evictions in the last half of BB18 (3 within 3 days in the final week may I add!). It was ridiculous

[Ant.]

Agreed fully. Her entrance night was great because of her. it would've been great if Jedward entered on the first day and then Chloe/Jessica/Kim entered on Day 4 instead so we could've had more of Kim

[RileyH]

and more Chloe :love:

[Jodie.]

Ejecting Lotan imo. He was scum but he kept the divide strong

[reece(:]

The Hunt being the most pointless noms twist ever and being the end of Suemone

[Ant.]

1. Andrew was kept for any last drama

2. I guess the 4 person final was to keep up with Love Island but why?

1. His drama felt so boring though :( obviously they couldn't have known that but I'm just bitter that after Simone was backdoored, Sue was voted out by the housemates and didn't go through the front door in a LIVE EVICTION ( :oh: ), and Sam was evicted because of him (he got a regular eviction so I'm not too bothered but still) that he got the finale treatment

I guess that comes down to the amount of irregular evictions there were. Mandy was evicted by Tom, Imran's eviction was tainted (made x100 better really and it's not production's fault but still worth mentioning) with Sukhvinder walking, Savannah being evicted despite receiving no nominations (why she had the 2nd most votes behind Issy originally over Tom I'll never know), Andrew walking, 2 ejectees, 4 backdoor evictions, Sam being evicted by Andrew, Sue being evicted by housemates...

The only housemates to receive a regular eviction were the final 4, Joe, Rebecca, Chanelle and Ellie (and their eviction night had a few twists anyway), and I guess Savannah (though her result was clearly manipulated in favour of Issy). That's 9 housemates out of 22. Obviously the walkers (and I guess ejectees?) couldn't be helped, but even with them considered that's 9/18 evictions being "regular". A tad ridiculous when that's only half

oh and 2, god knows. Maybe they thought "hey they've complained that 5th and 6th leave together for years (why they evict them separately/together different years will forever confuse me) and LI is very popular and had a 4 person finale so why don't we do the same?"

[Ant.]

and more Chloe :love:

Chloe proved that GS housemates could be great after Ricci and Scotty tainted Charlotte's legacy and she was evicted so early </3 she had the most bizarre mini-storylines it was great to see

[RileyH]

wasn't expecting much from Ricci, Scotty was a disappointment, Marnie was okay but Chloe was just like she is in GS; obssessed with men and chicken dippers :love:

[Maxxie.]

The non-public vote eviction of Austin when the public had literally just paid to vote to save him. He probably got like, the 2nd most votes as well.

[ThatsMyUserName]

The whole noms process being tampered with too many times. Especially this series with not enough straight-up Diary Room noms plus 2 public poles influencing the noms process. The vote for best cheer dance was effectively a 'who do you want to give immunity to' poll, as was the poll to pick the killers.

[Maxxie.]

Oh and the removal of Ray J as they would have probably been able to book big names for future series because of their association with him.

[Ant.]

I didn't know who Ricci was, Scotty was a big name so it's a shame he was so chill and did nothing, I didn't enjoy Marnie and I forgogt about ha and Chloe was a mess while also being a lovely fun person :love: definitely one of the best New Stars

[Ant.]

He walked though didn't he? I remember he had some issues with Big Brother but I thought that was regarding health and safety, not that they ejected him

[Maxxie.]

Well he "left" let's say, housemates are usually aloud out of the house in medical emergencies and he wasn't aloud back in yet housemates who have recieved this sort of treatment have been let back in for years.

[rph]

no live feeds!

[Littlegreen]

The backdoor evictions.

[Littlegreen]

Oh and Andrew remaining in the house until the final.
