View Full Version : It's official - I've stopped
After 10 years, I've given up on Big Brother, I've stopped watching the daily shows and don't have any intention of going back. Partly to do with the quality of the series and the fact of no live feed so we don't know how its being edited half them time. It's mostly because I don't find it entertaining anymore and it became a chore.
I'M FREEEE.

Same here! The first 15 minutes of tonights show was ****ing dreadful! BB is dead
I'm getting there. This series seemed so promising at the start ... atm I'm watching due to a quickly waning loyalty to the show and because there is nothing else on
The thought of another 12 weeks .... :yuk:
I'll just end up dipping in and out of this series

lol I havnt watched it yet, but i saw 5 minutes, big brother is about them the producers, showing off making it to start with see my other thread if you want to know. But yeh its stil a show and I love the fact with all their power and money and media at their disposal, freemasons failed! hahhaha hahaha hahahah
But yeh I think personally the show is doing **** so they have less money and the tasks couldnt be shitter! They do count on bullying to make ratings fly now they cant as much there messed!
There fault looking for masons to go on the show instead of normal nutters!
Sophie look OK but is nothing besides tits
Karly is also boring , just looks half OK and sounds nice, even though I dont undertsnad her.
Sree, is cool, funny, feel for him.
Sivash is tryna blend in pretend he likes cairon who hopefully will go soon!
Angel, is weird
Rodrigo Weird
Homophobic comments are NOT allowed
Kris He dont look all that and is boring too.
who else?
Lisa, another lesi, ewww, too old and boring and stropy cow to be on BB
Marcus, his doing ma nuts, always bitching! Thinks his special but he aint!
Forget the rest, out of all the people interviewed this is what they could do , ashame. lol
But yeh, BB failing is good, f illuminati too and there satanic symbology!

I'm not as hooked as I used to be, I watch it when I can but if I happen to miss a show it's no longer the end of the world.

The problem with this series is on paper it does sound really good, I had the overview for tonights highlights sent to me earlier and they sounded really good. But it doesn't translate well on screen purely because we've seen it all before. If this came after BB7 I'm sure it would be a huge success but the shock factor no longer works and BB9 shown more normal people works much better these days.
I switched off about 4 days ago :xyxwave:

This is my first BB UK experience. Although, I think the show is terrible put together it's been all right. The US version, in my opinion, is a better product but none the less will continue to watch...

Are you American? If you are then its unfair to say ours is badly put together. The British don't like intense games and this for us was originally a social experiment. People watched the first series as a reality show, not a game show, so its just very ordinary, no clever editing or dramatic music, just a day in chronological order of the best bits of the day. It took off as that format and that has essentially remained throughout the shows history.
If you want to watch a UK Big Brother how its properly done, then I strongly recommend watching BB5 (2004) or 6 (2005) ... especially if you like game play, those are the closest ours get to it though it isn't a central feature. Otherwise BB3 (2002) and 9 (2008) would also be good picks. Or for a shorter series Celebrity Big Brother 4 (2006) was amazing and only about 3 weeks long.

eh? Then why are you guys who have stopped and are 'free' still coming to BB forums?
Judging an entire series by one show as well? Kinda silly... Yesterdays show was great, this one not that good, so what? BBs nature means that will happen.
If I give something up I give it up... not a half job of giving it up and then going to forums to read about it or whatever...

Most are just here for the community and off topic chat these days, Big Brother doesn't seem to be a priority anymore. :spin:

I'm still watching it I'm just not into it as much as I was. It probably won't turn me away from the next Celeb BB or BB11 ... I isolate each series and whether I watch the next one doesn't really depend on the last one.
Its an OK series, not the best, not the worst. But theres nothing else on so it can stay on as background noise.

18-06-2009, 10:13 PM
I seem to more hooked than I usually am because I have the time to stay up watching live feed at stupid o'clock in the morning. But idk, the highlights show irritates me because they're so edited around like one main person, like right now it's ridiculously edited around Sree & Norin.
JOSHUAH!
18-06-2009, 10:14 PM
I'm finding it hard to watch this year, I enjoy it yes and I support some housemates, but the lack of live feed is just making it drag and its making me think about what we're actually seeing - how much is edited and things like that.

It's becoming boring to watch although I still do think it has masses of potential!
I'm watching each day in hope that Karly goes in the DR ha.

You know they need more booze, partiez, few more people, need to liven people up. etc
Dance was ****, I think BB jsut tryna hang on to little kids who watch it.
I also hate Norin she doesnt een like sree let alone fancy him! So see threw!
Same. Only watched 3 HL shows and they were soo boring so I gave up, especially the tasks.
Better things to do with my time, and I soo thought this was gonna be a good series. :sad:

I was thinking the same thing.
The ratings are gonna be dreadful now LOL.
If they're so bad for so long will they cut the series early, or will they carry on, with not so much viewers?

I say axe Davina and give them more booze! any one can do interviews!
I say give it a rest for a couple of years then start fresh, then they'll have more time to prepare for a better series.

I thought I wasn't enjoying it; but when my daughter rang at 10 30 (and I was watching on C4).. we chatted for half an hour, and I did go on to C4+1 to catch up on the second half, so it can't be as bad as I thought!
Like another has said though: some not very exciting characters! Maybe when a few have gone, it will pick up? Except then they will throw a few newcomers in and ruin it all ....

18-06-2009, 11:43 PM

Yeh also it takes awhile for things to kick off if this series is short unlike first few it wont even kick off!

I still like it, it's become a little boring though compared to last week. I think that Endemol need to the put their foots down with C4 and make a load of changes for the last series. I'm thinking that they should move to another channel and get all the coverage they want/need.
It's such a shame that a show which once was THE reality TV show is now becoming a main target point with critics. :sad:
But still, it's not BB9 which is amazing :bigsmile:

You'll find that for some, talking about Big Brother is more fun than watching it.

I actually think I'm watching this year out of habit rather than because it's compulsive viewing, which is really pretty sad.
Maybe it just really has run it's course now, I mean what could they really do in the house to shock us, or keep us really entertained for 14 weeks? Pretty much everything has already been done.
There's a reason that all shows come to an end eventually, even the best ones and I think BB has come to the end of it's run with this year.

tonights episode will probably not go down in history as the best - because you didn't see much tit and everyone was talking when they should have been pulling eachothers shorts down and making up dance routines and shouting at eachother and doing kissy dares in the jaccuzzi

In my youth, which was over 50 years ago, a "Maryjane" was a slang term for a male homosexual. Is that just a coincidence or is he trying to tell us something.

I am.. That's a fair answer I had been expecting more game play... When I say game play I mean jumping into a large vat of pudding and then looking for food coupons.. So, I can see how someone from the UK would view our big brother as nothing but a giant game show. I still don't miss an episode and really do enjoy watching the show.

I been a complete adict from the forth week of the first series thanks to nasty nick and his cunning plan and i even have the tshirt.But without live feed it's hard to get to know characters.Channel 4 always have the winner in mind and then spend 13 weeks promoting this person...but thanks to live feed i have picked who i liked and then moaned alot when they got evicted in week seven.
If you like kris for instance you would of got 2 lines in a hour show or cairon who is up for eviction maybe 4 lines???
It is becoming the shree show and he makes my skin crawl he is so fake.
Seems like channel four want a male shilpa to kill off big brother in a racist storm to go out with a bang :mad:
