Why is everyone still kissing Channel 4's arse?

They were the people who run BB into the ground and turned it into a gimmicky teeny show where no alcohol consumption was allowed and barely a nipple was shown due to them being terrified of offcom.

Channel 5 bring it back and BOOM we get housemates having wanking competitions, actual naked housemates on show, alcohol round the clock, great arguments and less gimmicky **** aka Davina Mckaw and Bob Ryter!

If anything Channel 5 have taken it back to how it was.

The only thing i hate is the editing as its to pollished and BB does not need musical montages during an episode but then again Channel 4 were the ones who started that in BB11.

I enjoyed BB12 and CBB9 its just the god damn live feed!!!! We have that back and i will be a very happy guy.

I think people are being unfair to Channel 5 considering you was all saying how great promotion was last year and how people loved the new staging and stuff. They put alot of effort into it. BB was even being advertised primetime on itv!

Now we have a brand new eye which is one of the best in years.

We also have the teaser ads leading up to BB and a new ad due to air next Monday. This is traditional BB promo in the lead up to launch which we all love!

Im happy we still have BB and Channel 5 bought it coz after the race row no other channel would touch it with a barge pole.

I love you. You speak the truth.

This is exactly what I was saying during BB12 on Facebook to people. Everyone was all 'Big Bruv is pants now on CH5. Should of left it on CH4' etc

People seem to forget how Channel 4 treated Big Brother after BB9. They left it to rot for a year [2009] and then decided to do all they could to ruin what could of been a decent series, in 2010. I'm sorry but I'll never forgive them for that Quadruple eviction stunt they pulled in BB11's final week.
And the way they never advertised it after BB7 because they felt ashamed of it etc

Channel 5 did an amazing job during BB12 in terms of bringing back that spark it lacked in recent years, as you said we got housemates going crazy, arguing, getting naked, talk of sex in the house, rebelling etc - that's what we had in BB5,BB6,BB7 and BB9 and that's what made those series amazing.

It's a shame that so many people never gave BB12 a chance - and that's where Channel 5 shot themselves in the foot, because of CBB and I do believe all Channel 5 NEED to change is:

The Host
The Editing
The Launch Approach
The Arselicking of CBB
Live Feed

And we'd have Big Brother back to how it was.
