It needs to be stripped right back to basics for the celeb one with fewer hms and a shorter duration. Definatly dont need any reality tv stars in it, people watch their shows to see them being real(lol) in the shows they are already on. We need interesting celebs who have already marked their place on the fame ladder through some form of talent.

I prefer normal BB personally. And apart from the fanbases that must be brought to the show, I don't know how CBB rates so much higher than BB; because the issues are the same: occasional poor casting, manipulation, outside influence and inconsistency in rules. Both shows are poorly run at the moment, so I don't know why normal BB is the one that gets all the criticism.

But on topic, no I don't think either CBB or BB should be cancelled - they just need to be managed differently.

EDIT: Summer CBB definitely needs to go though. Who thought/thinks that was a good idea? The celebs are scraping the barrel this time.

Its bubbling up nicely I think this one could be good.

I don't see how resting the show will result in different types of HM's wanting to go in :shrug: It's always been z listers and it always will be.

But if it's getting stale for you, maybe stop watching it for a couple of years then come back to it. That's what I did when it finished on ch4.

CBB has been better than regular BB for years imo, so no.

For those who want it scrapped, do not watch it. :p

This completely, i cant understand why you would watch something you feel is so awful, let alone make threads and posts moaning about it :conf: leave the forums and the show to the people that enjoy it.

LukeB 08-01-2016 01:37 PM

Axe both CBB and BB.. it can't be saved anymore. it's dying

Im a massive BB fan from series one,and don't want it gone for good, just a rest instead of filling the house with z list wannabes ,maybe after a rest real celebs may be interested in doing it ?

This opinion i don't understand. At least with regards to Summer 2014 onwards.

No, the people who are enjoying should watch it and those who don't shouldn't watch and leave it a year themselves.

So immortal it's gone from averaging 4.6m to 1.3m in like 10 years.

Channel 5 are still making a hefty profit out of it no matter what their ratings are.

Yes I agree with this, I think the January ones are generally more entertaining than the summer ones,, with the possible exception of last year.

maybe at least only one a year but i never judge the series or moan about a crap cast. i only know anywhere from 2-4 at the most. maybe once or twice 5 or more. needs to play out before i say its a bunch of crap HM. their celeb status shouldnt really matter. its about what they do in the house. some of the most known sucked something awful. like that one series with Evander Holyfield. most known or top known that season and was a crap HM.

nah, the real celebs avoid it like the plague, not worth the possible backlash (say one wrong thing=career over).

Lstan 09-01-2016 10:26 AM

If they renamed it reality show leftovers rather than CBB maybe it would fair better as then at least it would be honest.

Cant really call it celebrity if theres only 1 or 2 out of the whole bunch are either other reality show cast offs or friends of famous people.

Stevep 09-01-2016 10:54 AM

Drop the regular one, it does nothing but hinder the momentum the celeb ones create.

Instant ban for even suggesting BB be scrapped

Vicky. 15-01-2016 12:21 PM

This has been the best series ever, so no scrapping. I do think there should be a year inbetween them though.I usually dont even bother with CBB but this series has actually been amazing so far :laugh:
