I mean it was drilled into everybodys heads throughout both rounds that they wanted to go back to their roots and wanted this series to be ‘less about drama and fighting and more about fun’. Main guy literally said this at one stage and this is a direct quote, ‘So we’re looking to go back to the best days of Big Brother so think Series 6 or Series 7’ and I got hyped af at this point but no one else seemed to care which was a shame. What I also found abit telling was just before that a production member admitted straight up (this is infront of PEJ aswell) that ‘Big Brother just hasn’t been working in recent years’.

Moreover the actual Diary Room questions were a far cry from previous years and were all steered towards finding out the type of person you are - as opposed to ‘what makes you tick’ or ‘what kind of people would you least like to live with’ none of those questions came up. I genuienly believe that they’re searching high and low for genuine people who anyone can relate to, which is probably where I went wrong. Anytime anyone said ‘they’re famous on social media’ (cringe) you could literally see the eyes rolling amongst some of the panel. I don’t want to say too much more but at the very, very end of the process it was confirmed that they really didn’t want ‘larger than life characters’ and wanted the everyday man. It should hopefully be obvious what I mean by that as I say it was at the very end of the process.

I think I would have been alot more bitter about this upcoming series if these auditions weren’t done so differently. That’s the other thing aswell, the actual audition process was flipped upside down. But yeah, I’ll probably watch this year and it will be the first time I have done so since I first auditioned years ago. Once I started auditioning and getting knocked back I couldn’t stomach watching the series I auditioned for, but ironically even though this was the closest I came, I’m still intriqued just because of how much you could tell they genuienly are trying something different. Just hope it pays off.



Very true. Very sad too. Couldn’t believe the reactions of some familiar faces when I came on here today, but I guess it really says alot when a forum dedicated to Big Brother doesn’t seem to care that it could be finishing. Stark contrast to what it was like on here in August 2009.

I just hope for the sake of the original series, they stay true to their promises and deliver but I doubt it - although it is interesting that they never mentioned the civillian in their statement to The Sun, makes me wonder if they’re waiting to see how their ‘revamped’ civillian series goes before calling it a day. Either way, they’ll probably still axe it.

Channel 5 have themselves to blame but really are kidding themselves in they think any ‘new idea’ they have in the pipeline will ever bring in the ratings Big Brother did for them. Of course they weren’t massive figures but they were better than anything this non-entity of a channel can ever hope for again.

Until next time BB!

If you were responding to my post, I was referring to how mad it can get on here during on season with the arguing about favourites, especially if there's a huge rift in the house.

Not about someone being passionate for the show.

I agree... I think you can still be passionate about BB and be disgusted with the direction the show has moved over the years... The idea that you need to be smiles and rainbows all the time in order to be a "fan" is ludicrous...
