Anyone else not watching?

[Conor]

I wont be watching Big Brothar at all any more. Infact I've realised how sad I've been really getting into the show since the 5th series. Each year its becoming more of a flop and its getting really sad old and tired. I'm sure there has to be at least one more person here agreeing with me. The only reason I've stayed on TIBB is because of the friendliness and un related topics. On the bright side, previous houemates were umbeleivably amazing, but thats about it.

I know everyones going to slack back and try to throw out awkward questions, but it's just MY opinion, so I wont answer questions anyone asks.

[BigSister]

ill probably watch it on launch night but if i only really like it then ill probably watch it as its really not the same as BB or CBB

[Redmond]

Try BBUSA :)

I know what you mean though, it really hit it's peak with BB5 and has never been able to live up to that, BB7 was heading in the right direction but became over the top and too manipulated. BB8 was in my opinion the worst ever series of Big Brother and the first time ever that I turned off two weeks before the end because it was boring the hell out of me, every night was an argument about food.

But I do believe BB:CH will be decent, because it's fresh, it's new and I'm hoping it's a BB where the producers get to try out some new ideas, experiment with new formats and rule changes and based on which ideas work best then they can adapt them into the main series BB9.

I think the producers know now that BB9 has to be really different otherwise it will flop and kill BB forever, people won't go for two flop series in a row. I think they are looking at international BB's and seeing what new formats they can add to our version to make it better. With the announcement of the new Big Brother Around The World show, it shows that they are definitely looking elsewhere for ideas.

[Conor]

Thanks for the advise Redmond.

I like BBAUS have started to watch a bit of BBUS over the summer. Hopefully I'll grow to that for the new series.

[Jack]

You say that now, but I bet you'll end up watching BB:CH and BB9. Everybody does.

I know that if I miss the first 5 -6 days I wont want to watch any more anyway.

[Sarah.]

Yeah, wasn't even a big fan of BB anyway.
But I'm not gonna watch next year. IMO it's gone on a couple of series too many.

[Captain.Remy]

That's your choice for the moment but you will see in a months or in 6 months !

Totally agree with you there mrs_rko. It went to far about 3 series ago! After CBB4 Big Brothers popularity fell harshly (excluding the first/ast weeks of BB7) Even if it went for a 3 - 4 year break it would be better in the long run.

Yeah starts February 12th, mark it in your calendar.

I've never watched the Oz version, the only other version I've seen is BBUSA which I thought I would hate because of the way it's produced with the backing music and stuff, but I'm hooked on it, it's so different in terms of game playing to our series.

I'm just saying it's easy to say "I'm not watching it anymore", but come May next year when the new eye is released, rumours start, photos of the house appear in the paper and then the teasers start, if you can still say you won't be watching it then fair enough.

But like most people, curiousity gets the better of them and they end up watching at least the launch just to see if it's better than the last series. I admit BB8 was a disaster but I have high expectations for BB:CH and hopefully the producers will pull their fingers out for BB9.

Apparently BB Aussie will start earlier, in march or something due to the strikes....:thumbs2:

Wouldn't you at least give it a try for the first week, or even just the first night to see if they made any big changes that might better the show and also to see what type of housemates they had?

I'm with you in a sense of "if it's crap, if it's another BB8" I'll switch off way earlier than I did this year but no way would I be able to resist watching all together. I'd be too intrigued to see what they had in store on launch night and to see the look of the new housemates. Then I'd give it about three weeks and if it was boring I'd switch off and stick with BBUSA for the summer.

Im tempted, but I'm fed up with it invading my life all the time, for a while nearly all my stuff was Big Brother related *the shame! lol*

I need to get of the hook and try something new. Since its not publiciced at all over here, and its not on every night BBUS will be handy for me.

[Ralja]

I will be watching.

If i didn't i would regret it.

[Ross]

I'll be watching to see if it's better than Celeb Big Brother.

[Conor]

So there's no one else 100% sure their not watching this year yet?

[Scarlett.]

Im giving BB:CH and BB9 a chance

I doubt you yourself are even 100% sure. When the hype begins and rumours start your opinion may change.

[Redderst]

But to get me watching they really need to change the format for bb9 like bb5. but i want bb9 to be like bb9 i dont want it to be the next bb5. i want it to be bb9 in its own right

[supernoodles!]

It will probably be on 4OD. Fingers crossed, then you can watch it online.

[Retroman]

I won't be watching since I haven't got the patience to watch online...
And my skybox doesn't have E4.

I think we have it downstairs, but the whole family will be in there watching whatever they want to watch.

I might try to find a way around it though, or see if it's downloadable.

But how would it work? As said before, the laungage and format barrirers would make it very confusing, and the broadcasting would be super exensive.

Then ther'd be the arguments like 'Who gets the house' and 'who gets the logo.' It would be over before it began

[andybigbro]

I am defoo watching it, I cant waittt

[MarkWaldorf]

I've always given each series of BB a go on launch, and see from there. I haven't really watched BB in full since BB6, it's just really bad these days.

I'll give Hijack a go though.

If you want freeview/your five channels to work then you need a digital arieal, they're about £20 from Argos and a freeview box, I think that Tesco were selling them for about £10 a few weeks ago.

What? It's not an actual Big Brother. It's just a one off show hosted by Dermot where clips are shown from different Big Brothers around the world.

It's not a an actual series. It's a one-off show hosted by Dermot looking at Big Brother's from around the world (they did a show like this after BB2 but it wasn't very in depth) but this time they are looking into the most memorable housemates from international BB's, twists and controversies.

So that's why I think BB9 may be having a format change and adapting ideas from foreign BB's, because the Around The World Show at least show's they have been taking a look elsewhere.
