Glad the ratings were poor, maybe the producers will start to consider making some big changes now.

Yeah thats the only good thing about that. Hopefully the producers stop messing now.

For starters a new house is needed!
24/7 live feed back!
Good mix of housemates!
Bigger shopping budget!
No limit of booze!
BBLB on C4 at 6pm!
BBBM on E4 At 10pm!
Plenty of twists, big or small!

Definitely not plenty of twists. They only worked in BB9 because there was so few of them. Then again the nominations in front of each other didn't really work either because it was so obvious who was gonna be up. They never do original twists now.

Looking back at BB9, the ratings werent bad at all. The nomination twist in front of each other (Lisa VS Sara) got about 4.1m.

It was boring didn't watch it...........to busy selling fish:colour:

The problem with BB8 was too many twists. We wanna keep it like BB9, no house next door etc, only twists if they are original.

this big brother was robbish

Good.

Exactly. BB9 was a success I think.

BB8 averaged 3.9m without Saturday shows
BB9 averaged 3.6m with Saturday shows.

If you take away the saturday shows during BB9, the average would have been on par with BB8.

I remember all the pre-BB hype back in 2001 with them putting 2 gays in the house for BB2!
The papers said it was a shocka! The public was like "OMFG, 2 gays?!?"

BB10 needs to get that hype again...
Pregnant woman?
Twins joined by the head?
Lil Timmy on his death bed?

You really think its over? BB will be around longer than people think. Just because the ratings are low doesn't mean its "over".

Oh, and the reason that the ratings are down is because of the bloody Jade Goody and Shilpa Shetty. That row hangs over BB's head like a bad smell.

I stopped watching last week.

Big Brother will never get the ratings it did back in 2006 etc. but I never expected huge ratings and I don't think C4 did either. Big Brother 10 will probably be the last one. :sad:

Wrong. That boosted the ratings of that series.

in BB8 there was too many twists in BB9 there was too little. They need to get the right balance, a big shocking twist every 3 weeks?

Yippee if only it were true :thumbs2:

fair enough. I just feel they shouldnt profit from other people without paying for it. Why should Endemol and their shareholders made a few more millions without paying for ideas

guess what I did. Although would have been much better if Anouscka hadnt gone in the first week. One of the biggest mistakes ever. She seemed to have it all.

But I'd rather see genuine intelligent people working together and looking after each other than the likes we have now. I also liked BB CH for the same reasons.

On a more serious point though, surely you can see that this confrontational aspect is just not working anymore. I prefer when arguments happen, its not because BB has been "poking them with a stick" for weeks on end or having confrontational people in there that will start a big pile up if someone says "hello" in the wrong way.

In BB1 the reason that argument was so powerful was because it grew naturally. Over weeks we saw what Nick was doing and knew at some stage it would go wrong and sure enough it did and therefore made dramatic viewing. Now they try as hard as possible to create argument and therefore there is no interest in them, as they are a daily event

We weren't expecting much last night, but those ratings were shocking. Even a bog standard highlights show during BB8 and BB9 could manage that.

Hopefully though it's the kick up the backside they need - but unless Endemol can regain C4's full support I don't see how the series can recover, even if they did manage to successfully overhaul the format.
