People keep calling me a pessimist. I can't imagine why I'm not confident of BB10's success. Let's take a look at...

No live feed. Obviously the final nail in the show's coffin as it can't exist without the LF. Endemol are incensed that C4 are taking such ridiculous liberties with the format. No LF=not BB any more.

No Russell. An obscure little spinoff show - seen as Little Brother's illegitimate offspring - turned from dull Q&A panel malarkey into a brilliantly funny, unmissable platform for RB's antics. Big Mouth was widely regarded as the best part of the BB experience during BB6, CBB4 and BB7. Since Russell left, the show has become a painful showcase for the terminally untalented. Despite viewing figures well below that of the live feed, inexplicably it hasn't been axed. What a waste of money.

No Dermot. OK, he was more cheesy than David Dickinson at a cheese convention in Cheeseborough, but he loved the show and brought an infectious enthusiasm to the proceedings. His replacement...the utterly appalling Zezi, and the coma inducingly laid back George 'frozen' Lamb. Horrifically unwatchable drivel now, and another waste of money that should have been axed. Guests are so low end these days that I understand even Jodie Marsh turned down the chance to appear :shrug:

Davina still there. Gurn! I'm totally bored but I don't have another job. Gurn! Superb presenter from BB1-5, now long past her sell by date and just one more expensive millstone round BBUK's neck.

The Shilpagate effect. Ever since CBB5, the producers are terrified of anything bad happening. As a result they brought us the almost unbelievably tedious BB8, the marginal Celeb Hijack, the series won by the dullest person in the western world and contractual obligation celeb pay day back in January. There is no spark. Nothing controversial happens without a huge overreaction on the part of the producers. So Dennis got in Mo's face - so what? Even if he'd had a slash in his afro, he should still not have been removed. Action is what the viewers want, most of them. Channel 4 has lost its balls and its spine.

Burn out. They've had the transsexual one, the mentally ill one, the Tourette's one, the blind one, the albino one etc etc. Wall to wall z-list wannabes and silicone boobed mag deal chasers. Intelligent HMs are very thin on the ground. People there for the experience are now almost nonexistent.

Constant tinkering and fixing. The shameful rigging to keep Charley in BB8, for example. C4 won't let things naturally take their course any longer and many viewers got so sick of it they just stopped watching.

Contempt for the viewers. C4 refuse to listen to the very people who made BB such a money spinner for them for so long. They have lied blatantly over the live feed fiasco.

Could probably bang on all day, but you get the picture :wink:

^ Can you please reply to the very valid posts I made on the other thread regarding live feed.

Or are you incapable of supporting your argument against my very strong one?

i think the only one that really failed was bb8... bb9 was good i thought
but you never know i hope its really good, but then again there hasnt been a big brother where i havnt liked it.. bb8 i liked until after i realised it was poo compared to the others

Im hoping bb10 won't be a flop, i am gutted about know LF, but there is nothing anyone can do. I suppose we have to wait and see, but im going to stay posotive, i love bb, allways have, allways will.

I know u dont mean any harm DoubleTrouble but My theory is threads that criticize and give Big Brother Negative advertising dont do it any justice. As I think People will also see BB in the same light. When we dont want it to be negativley advertised..

I know u dont mean it to be as i saw ur small print! haha... :D

it has the potental to be a good series, the fact that we have very little info on the show this year would suggessed that they are attemping to get that excitment back from the early series, i think it will start low in the ratings at first, but channel for will step up there game and get people talking about it again

course it will only because you have idiots running it:joker:
