I agree with all of that - and I've said this time and time again during BB12, non stop parties, alcohol, fights and drama is what BB was all about back in the golden days.

HOWEVER, it's the overall management and production of the show that has went to sh*t.

The way Channel 5 ignore fans, which CH4 did too but at least we got LF and decent titles etc - I mean I'm sorry but say what you want about BB11's titles.. they piss all over anything we've had since then.

The houses are the same old plastic bollocks now, it's just a studio with a few new repeating backdrops on the wallpaper and new furniture and a load of neon lights - at least on CH4 the budget was bigger and they went all out on the houses.


Both broadcasters ******ed the show up - and BB9 was the last great series we had, I partly blame the credit crunch for BB10's mess up though.

People do need to stop acting like C4 was amazing and treated Big Brother like gold, because they didn't - they use to, but from 2009 onwards they bastardized it. However, Channel 5 aren't making it any better, in terms of actual production, when they really could if they just listened to us.
Endemol are so fortunate that Big Brother has one of the biggest and most vocal fanbase of any franchise, they should be thankful that we speak out about what we hate and love - and build on that, not blank us and treat us like idiots.

The HMs are all that matter usually, yeah the tasks and twists and that can make things a bit better or a bit worse, but all comes down to the HMs at the end of the day

Yeah I agree partly but for me it just as much comes down to how they handle the show and housemates. The editing last year and no live feed completly ruined it because we didn't get to know anything about the housemates other than what they wanted us to know. On C4 this was never a problem. The better house, presenter and news updates was an added bonus.

They should just keep the name tags for the diary room like BBUSA and have them appear in the bottom corner. That could work and be practical it just seems distracting to have them on screen whilst conversations are going on I end up concentrating on the name instead of what's being said. :p
