His "can't find people who haven't been on TV before" line is retarded beyond belief. Wow.

I half agree with this, sure they threw in a bit of manipulation but I feel like it died down a lot this series. Also the Dress up task was reminiscent of C4 years and the production was good. Even the cheerleading task was reminiscent of C4 (well, I know it was kind of like BB7's one). There were less tasks which meddled.

The best 3 day stretch of the series IMO was the three days between Jordan's eviction to Brandi/Paul's eviction from Tuesday-Friday during the Weds-Friday costume task. And ratings proved that as those 3 days were the highest rated consecutive shows (bar launch and final).It was better because it was arguments that weren't caused by BB.

But that said, still a lot of work to be done, but CBB is still IMO in a good position. Series 13-17 and 19-20 are actually liked.

Actually he's exactly what the show doesn't need...yet another person acting up to the cameras and had appeared on multiple reality shows prior to big brother

:joker:

I agree and I think the rest of the bb fans agree that big brother is a force of nature and doesn't need manipulation from producers. It's supposed to be a social experiment and the best scenes come naturally without outside contact, producer manipulation and launch night twists which allways fall flat.

Just chuck them in and let the carnage begin lol.

I agree with him - for all its flaws BB is still the closest thing there is to true reality television and hes right about how the show makes itself and that's the appeal. This CBB is the first time I've watched BOTS regularly in ages and I was quite impressed with Rylan how genuinely into the show he is and how capable he is of honing in on the main issues and asking the right questions. It's not an easy task when the BOTS audience often can't make an intelligent point between them and when the guests clearly haven't been watching most of the show half the time

I felt it was a bit more light and maybe charming than usual, not that much though as it's CBB. Was this series talked about much as I only really saw it on snapchat, never heard it in actual conversation since like Bear

He is right...but of course its not hard to find people who havent done TV before...they purposely seek out these people to try and get ratings up. And whilst its not scripted, the producers try day in day out to force arguments.

I genuinely think if they had an actual back to basics series, the viewers could go back up again. BB is unlike anything else on TV and really...should always work aslong as its left alone to develop at its own pace
