Yeah I think if BB10 doesn't have some huge changes to the show then it should get axed after BB11. It's become such a poor show, I used to always look forward to watching the evictions etc. but now that feeling's just gone. I don't even care if I miss episodes now because I know I won't have missed anything much.

As has been said already there are other topics for discussion here. Other TV shows, music, general chat etc.

I give it one more series, if next series is poo. Then I class it as finished.

Tbh I don't care about the ratings, I will watch every series until the end but I know it will be over one day.

Big Brother is not as bad as people make it out: of course we've had expectations which producers ignored and try to avoid any controversy but the show is still good and enjoyable.
I can't see why people are so linked to the ratings. Of course you're right not to watch if you think it's not good but not because it gets bad ratings.
I have faith in the production team, I'm sure if they break their ass, they can create something big, good ratings or not.

I stopped having expectations after BB7 because it was awful IMO and didn't top any of the past and next series.

Because without viewers they can't get the advertisers. And without the advertisers the show isn't financially viable.

A couple of years ago C4 could fend off the critics by saying that although you miight not like it, BB brings in a good income for the channel. That excuse is no longer valid.

I'd still say it brings in good income from the Cahnnel, even with lower ratings. There was a story recently about how all commercial broadcasters have seen a drop in advertising revenue but C4's drop in January was only 5% down because of BB. Apparently a 5% loss is seen as good result or something.

Not sure there is much they can do to halt the decline in ratings, the show just needs to get its reputation back a bit.

To be honest I thought this Celeb BB was okay, on a level with previous series. (I liked Celebrity Hijack a lot though btw :hugesmile:) But there is a tendency for people to judge it based on the ratings rather than how much they enjoyed it.

That revenue would have been based on predicted ratings though, which would have been higher than the 2.5m we saw most nights and certainly more than the 3.3m we saw yesterday.

And people aren't just judging it on the ratings - it's quite clear that long term fans of the show didn't enjoy this series.


And there is alot they can do to get the ratings back, because if they don't they won't get the reputation back. I just hope that the reluctant fools at C4 finally sit up and realise they're letting one of their best shows whither away and realise they need to reverse the decline. Big Brother finals are supposed to be one of the TV events of the year, and get it right in BB10 and they could unquestionably get that figure back up above 6m, if they give the show the overhaul it requires.
