Are people still watching the show?

[deanmontague]

Because I haven't since Lewis left :hehe:

I put it on in the background but usually ignore it - end up watching lewis rants on instagram story instead :laugh:

In all serious though when I did tune in i just saw Akeem begging for more air time desperate to win smashing eggs onto his head?? Bore off Akeem

[Niamh.]

Yes :hee: The positivity in there is amazingly refreshing

[Jase.]

It's horrendously dull but I'm not gonna stop watching it when I've invested so much time in it/have watched it since the launch :skull:

[Tony Montana]

I actually switched off during Sunday’s episode once we didn’t discover what Lewis had said and I missed last nights episode. Although judging from some of the Threads, I didn’t miss much

forums have been dead since with nothing to talk about!

[Cherie]

yes still watching, its the last series forever

[Marcus.]

yes still watching, its the last series forever

same
and i glad the people with the same mindset as me

[Rob!]

Yes of course. I don't tend to throw my toys out of the pram when someone I liked leaves or I'd never watch a series all the way through :unsure:

:love:

If Sian leaves on Friday I will watch it on Sunday and on Monday :laugh: AND I will watch the final BOTs and I haven't watched it at all this year...

[Rob!]

I can't normally handle BOTS, especially on finale night, but I'm definitely watching the last one ever. No matter what happens with the main show, BOTS certainly won't be back.

Same, i wish they didn't have it on a Monday though

[pontyboi]

Still watching but it is getting dull.

Judging by the fact ratings haven't been released for the past 2 days though i don't think anyone else is.

[muchadoaboutnothing]

It has become somewhat boring but I have watched it more since Lewis F was kicked out - he was ruinning it for me.

[joeysteele]

I'm sticking with it to the end but a lot of people I discuss it with, have stopped watching and also won't be voting in the final now either.

It's sad really, very sad.

[Jordan.]

Because I haven't since Lewis left :hehe:

I put it on in the background but usually ignore it

In all serious though when I did tune in

So you are still watching :hehe:

[LukeB]

Nothing really happens during the final week anyway even on classic series :)

It would have been the same if Lewis was still there

[Niamh.]

So you are still watching :hehe:

No :oh: It's on his telly but he ignores it :fist:

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah but I'm usually late to watch it so will watch last night's tonight. But it's not the best but been underwhelmed all series even with Lewis, who I couldn't stand

[Dinah]

Still watching because it's the last one on Channel 5 and it might be quite a while before it's on our screens again. :bawling:

[montblanc]

i’ve been popping in and out

[rusticgal]

The forums been pretty dead since Lewis left and the gloating stopped. We have watched them play hide n seek...and re enact memorable moments which mainly consisted of scenes created by the bigger characters that have now been disposed of. Cameron cooked a roast..Akeem has giving himself lots of airtime which has been really cringy....and Brooke and Sian have compared nipple spots..It's dull..you are not missing much. I'm still watching it because I want Cameron to win..

[Clootie Dumpling]

I've been tempted to switch off in the last few days, but I'm sticking it out to the end.

I like to compare it to the challenge of finishing a not-very-interesting book, rather than leaving it with 100 or so pages to go.

[AnnieK]

Yes of course. I don't tend to throw my toys out of the pram when someone I liked leaves or I'd never watch a series all the way through :unsure:

This tbh. I think its pretty sad that people would stop watching because their fave was ejected, it seems pretty petty. I have watched every series since BB1 and so there is no way I would not watch the end of what could possibly be the last one on TV for certainly the foreseeable future.

Watching someone ranting on instagram is my worst nightmare too :laugh:

[Elliot]

im not but its not really to do with lewis I've been over this series for a while oop

[deanmontague]

Yes of course. I don't tend to throw my toys out of the pram when someone I liked leaves or I'd never watch a series all the way through :unsure:

Not throwing any toys out the pram just no enjoyment from watching it! Plus I binge watched Sabrina on netflix instead :cheer2:

[James]

Still watching, but it feels a bit hollow, because of the manner of Lewis' departure - throwing someone out, who was a favourite, with only a week left, and not giving a proper explanation.

[Vicky.]

Yup. Enjoying the positivity and fun. There will have been fun the whole time mind, but producers chose to focus on Lewis/Camerons moaning/paranoia instead. Obviously thats not Lewis' fault, but its been refreshing to have episodes that are not just about bitching, whilst claiming never to bitch :laugh:

[mizzy25]

im still watching as I have saw almost every one since the launch night. I do miss Lewis though

[Cherie]

:clap2:

[smudgie]

Will watch it to the end.
I will not be voting, I don’t particularly care who wins, as long as it’s not Akeem.

[Nancy.]

I was watching it when it aired, but now i'm recording it and skipping most of it.
BB''s awful now Lewis has gone.

[bots]

I didn't like lewis at all, and I found it awful to watch while he was in. Final weeks are always less interesting because the hm's all start to focus on getting out/winning. However, going from a paranoia saturated mess to a quiet final week is a big change in pace so it will seem even more extreme than usual.

What I've had confirmed to me this week is that Cameron and Akeem are both obsessed with winning, Cian is a pretty hopeless try hard, Zoe is simply unpleasant, Brooke thinks of herself as an intellectual and couldn't be further from it, and Sian is the nicest one in there

[mr rochester]

I’m watching but getting annoyed at how badly dressed they all are...orange towels and dressing gowns. Apart from Sian they are all so scruffy. Didn’t really notice it before (apart from Zoe’s hideous dressing gown). They are a bit of a dull lot I have to say which is so disappointing for the last series...never mind...

[Crimson Dynamo]

No, it's a load of sh1te

Yes she is, she won't win though, they are obsessed with Cameron

[user104658]

No, and again it's not because I liked Lewis or thought he should win (I actually think he story was over 2+ weeks ago), it's purely and simply because it's supposed to be a REALITY SHOW and they didn't show why one of the most featured people was removed. It's totally pointless. As James said above; makes the whole thing hollow.

People who didn't like Lewis and claim to be OK with him being removed without explanation... I honestly suspect you're lying to yourselves fuelled by that dislike. Imagine for a second that it wasn't a show you were watching and just heard about it in passing... that someone who was bookies favourite to win a show was kicked out... and no one knows why? :facepalm: utter shambles.

yeah I get that, but I think they are protecting him rather than anything, it would make no odds for them to show it, and if it is just not that bad why hasn't he said what he said or has he?

[user104658]

As I said on another thread earlier; I'll watch the final just out of curiosity and maybe catch up on the episode before the final (as they don't tend to show much on the actual night). Other than that I'm not wasting an hour of every evening on this :idc:.

[millyrose]

I'm still watching and will be to the end, I don't always watch bots. It has become a bit
dull, I understand that it goes a bit quiet in the last week but I do miss Lewis

[Vanessa]

I'm not watching anymore. Because they never showed what happened and thats unacceptable.

[user104658]

yeah I get that, but I think they are protecting him rather than anything, it would make no odds for them to show it, and if it is just not that bad why hasn't he said what he said or has he?

Bold 1) Maybe, if it's true that it was the channel not the show, but that could be the only reason as they've never protected anyone from things they've said in the past. Also, even if that's the case, it's still bull**** and it still makes for pointless "reality" TV.

Bold 2) Could be that it looks bad for him, could be (and I suspect might be) contractual obligations. They don't get "paid" like the celebrities; but they do get basic pay while they're in there (to cover their rent / bills etc. at home) and breaking that contract would allow them to claim that money back from him, which one assumes would probably be in the region of £2000 - £3000 for two months.

I think everybody would like to know why he was removed whether they liked him or not.

[Vanessa]

Lewis and his family have asked for it to be shown, but they have refused.

Whenever i've tuned in, i've heard them bitching about ex housemates, and zoe moaning about current housemates, and cameron is just as naggy with or without Lewis.. :shrug:

[deanmontague]

that's a good point!! they don't make a lot of effort do they - i mean I know it's 2 months but they're all on TV :hehe:

[Vanessa]

I'd rather watch a good horror movie that this boring lot.

:joker::joker::joker:

go and watch the new Sabrina on netflix it was really good!

[Vanessa]

I would still watch, if they showed what happened.

[Dinah]

Lewis and his family have asked for it to be shown, but they have refused.

I wonder why they won't? Maybe it wasn't such a big deal, and even if it was, it should have been shown and tthe viewers allowed to decide.

I don't know, but it can't be that bad if they wanted it to be shown? :shrug:

[EllieBrownFan]

Ya missed Sian’s amazing acting skills so modest and humble but she turned out to be the clear star of the pack.

Wasn't she just amazing...

[armand.kay]

I stopped watching week 4 when it became clear that the series was to revolve around 1 person

[deanmontague]

Lewis has confirmed on his instagram story now that he said auschwitz instead of outfits when talking to cameron and then mocked himself for his mistake by imitating Hitler in what he said was a slip of the tongue and said he isn't anti-semitic and was a slip of the tongue mocking the moment

I personally don't think it's a reason to be removed

He also said on his live story that he didn't air half of the things he said and said he'd discussed his suicide attempts and other important matters in his life that they didn't air

[*mazedsalv**]

Ratings haven't budged...

Thursday last week- 598k (4.7%)
Last night- 596k (5.8%)

Similar number, but being later last night, the share was 1% higher. So, yeah all those saying "people will boycott" had made no difference whatsoever.

Has he not watched the programme before, they don't want that kind of reality

'Ive stopped watching'

'Its on in the background'

[Amy Jade]

Funny isnt it...

Sian isn't shown mentioning her child so she must be a terrible mother who doesnt care about her child at all.

Lewis isn't shown discussing suicide attempts and he is a misundertood sympathetic character.

Hmmm.

[deanmontague]

Has he not watched the programme before, they don't want that kind of reality

two of my online friends have commited suicide in the last two weeks alone Cherie - the male suicide rate is something like 70% of all cases - why should it not be a reality to speak about to help reduce the rate and the stigma? :conf:

difference is LEWIS did discuss it, it wasn't aired by production - i'd be surprised if Sian has barely mentioned it - even when asked about the prize money the LAST person she mentioned was her son. And she barely cried at her letters from home. ZZZZzzzzzzz

[Denver]

I kinda lost interest after Tomasz but I still watch the next day before work and will be rooting for Sian or Cian

I am going the same way with my thoughts now.

[Jules82]

Because I haven't since Lewis left :hehe:

I put it on in the background but usually ignore it - end up watching lewis rants on instagram story instead :laugh:

In all serious though when I did tune in i just saw Akeem begging for more air time desperate to win smashing eggs onto his head?? Bore off Akeem

On fast forward when certain ones come on....Akeem is one of them...plus.....lol......:joker:

[Vanessa]

I'm not watching, but i will be voting for Cameron to win.

[Amy Jade]

Sian hasn't even come out to defend those accusations though has she and it seems it is only disgruntled Lewis stans who think she is a bad mum so it's obviously very sour and bitter grapes that she beat him.

[Liam-]

Of course, have to watch until the end to see Cameron take his crown
