CBB5 was great until Jade and her family marched in and ruined the entire thing. :hmph:

I don't know why they did that. The cast they had originally was great.

I wasn't a massive fan of the original CBB5 cast, before Jade entered. I remember saying to myself after the launch, "This cast is not as good as last years (CBB4) or the year before (CBB3)".

But, no doubt it would've been better if Jade hadn't entered. I also think the mistake they made is adding the irrelevant drags Jackiey and Jack Tweed. If they were planning to put Jade Goody back in. Why not just put her in alone?
The other two weren't celebrities and were pointless additions to the house.

I still think CBB5 would've been inferior to CBB3 and CBB4 had Jade Goody not entered and the whole race row thing didn't happen. I found the cast quite boring at times. And no doubt CBB5 would've averaged lower had the race row not happened. I think by the first four days of CBB5, the ratings fell to 2.8m or something. It was the race row controversy that gave the series the high viewing figures. I think without that, CBB5 would've averaged 4.2m or something.

Jade Goody made BB get it's biggest ratings for different reasons :/

For all the wrong reasons.

For BB3 it was because of her stupidity, for CBB5 it was because of her bullying (although Jade did bully Sophie)

Did BB3 do well because of Jade Goody?
I thought it just did well because it was a good series. :shrug:

Yas, but there's no doubt that Jade and the media circus that followed her brought in viewers and the tabloid u-turn on her helped increase her popularity

What if Chantelle wasn't the civilian housemate in CBB4? Would the twist still have been a success?

Pete. 05-07-2015 01:12 PM

What is Chantelle was put into BB6

Babayaro. 05-07-2015 01:13 PM

What if Marcus and Halfwit were in the final. Would Sophie still have won?

Wow. I can't imagine her being in that series. Wonder who she would've sided with.
I think Derek would've hated her, and probably would've been awful towards her.

What if Survivor had caught on in the UK

It's the awful production that ruined BB8. I like BB8 as a series, but it's awful in the last few weeks, particularly when Charley is evicted. BB8 had so many pointless twists to try to replicate the success of BB7, that it just killed any potential the series had, which was high to begin with. The all-female launch and dropping men in one by one was a massive no-no.

I did think the BB8 ratings were affected by CBB5. But I think also the quality of the series in comparison to the other 3 series before also had something to do with the decline in ratings.

Had BB8 been a better series I don't see why it couldn't have averaged around 4.2m, instead of 3.8m.

Frankly it was never going to get over 4.6m or the same ratings as the golden era series, because like I said CBB5 did put a lot of people from watching. But this series still had the hype that BB5-BB7 all had. It was just a disappointment the way things were executed that it lowered the ratings even further, when it could've averaged over 4m.

Of course cbb5 caused the downfall off bb, it put viewers off and channel 4 wasn't interested in bb anymore, there heart had gone out of it because it now stood against everything c4 stood for, the "golden era" would off lasted till around 2008 had cbb5 not killed it early.

What if BB8 had stayed all females for the entire series?

Denver 29-12-2015 10:04 PM

Jade hadn't died? Would she still have involvement of sorts with the show?

Daniel-X 29-12-2015 10:05 PM

What if Sam Kay hadn't been evicted in that trashy ****e twist?

I don't think so given how CBB5 tarnished her reputation. I doubt C4/C5 will want anything to do with her after that. Maybe she would've been involved in 2010 with the UBB stuff etc, I'm not sure.

MB. 29-12-2015 10:19 PM

What if gamepodfan had never joined the forum

Babayaro. 29-12-2015 10:22 PM

What if Jonty Stern had not busted a nut all over Munkety Tunkety

Headie 29-12-2015 10:22 PM

What if Adam had nominated Luke S at least once like Deana wanted him to and then the Outsiders journey to the final could've been much easier :fist:

it would have been on par with BB7, it was the guys of BB8 who were awful and bought the series down
