What has HAPPENED to BB???
 

I have been a viewer of BB UK since the first season, and it has gotten progressively worse, but this series (even though we're only one day in so far), seems to be an absolute train wreck.

A lot of the characters seem to have been pulled from other reality shows (and sometimes multiple reality shows), but I remember back in the early days BB would throw everyday people into the house, it was always more of an interesting psychological experiment.

These Reality "star" has-beens are guaranteed to all have their faces stuffed so far up their own arse it's going to be predictable as hell, so is there still hope?\

Coming from an older generation (I am only 31!), I was really hoping to see some REAL down-to-earth people on here, not folk who've been in and out of reality shows so many times that they all seem to have developed that reality show mentality that these young people have nowadays.

I truly hope that the series either picks up its game swiftly or throws some ordinary Joe (no pun intended) people in there to balance the mix of showbiz brats out.

Gotta say I agree. BB isn't what it used to be which is a shame. I much prefer normal unknowns to these wannabes.

I'm enjoying it :hee:

Well that's way it been heading for the last few years unfortunately. Get behind Raph, he's an ordinary person and a genuine BB fan :hee:

Time to go back to normal people, these z listers series passed off as norma bb just doesn't work

I agree to an extent, there are too many civilian housemates being recruited who have already appeared on TV shows. I can't get my head around the fact that there are civilian housemates going in on launch night with large social media fan bases and followings already. Ellie, Chantelle & Kayleigh all have over 40,000 followers on twitter, thats more than most celebs that go into CBB.

I wish there were more normal people too. It's almost like watching an episode of Geordie shore or Towie these days and there are already shows for that. I want to see more real people living under unusual circumstances and bring back the chickens.

awww memories :flutter:

I thought kayleigh was the only reality star, and lotan was the only z lister? Who else is there?

A few have been on EOTB ( not that I watch it, Ive read it )

It's been like that for years.This series actually seems light on 'reality stars' compared to some.

I know it's sad...trouble is EOTB stars go into celebrity BB...so it's merging into one.
Fed up with trashy girls and pumped up shallow twats...I want to see REAL people...with characters and personality.

I agree! :clap1:

Welcome to the forum too :hee: :wavey:

Damn, Chanelle, Ellie, Kieran, Kayleigh, and Lotan! 5 out of 16 is far too much. I made my peace with 2!

and Arthur too

Oh yeh! So annoying!

Me too.

The launch show was a bit ropey for the first half hour, but the highlights show was good last night.

A good mix of people.

Regarding the housemates being poached from other shows, I can tell you now.

I have never seen any of them before.:hee:

Yes girl thank you. Finally. I don't know how people are watching this year.

The racist gay white passing, Eurasian guy whos American like me everyone keeps putting as their favorite. I just do not get it.

I'm a 27 year old gay black guy and you can see why he upsets me.

This year is so crap.

No he isn't.

He's a racist self hating gay man.

It doubly hurts because I'm a gay black american BBUK fan.

How is he racist??

The Donald Trump thing in his VT.

How can you be so stupid. I don't care if the producers told him to say that, or if he was trolling to get picked.

Some things are just better left unsaid, and left off a reality tv game show.

I love Big Brother. Well love/hate relationship.

I auditioned for BBUSA as I'm American.

But I'm not doing anything strange for change and just to be on TV.

That's honestly ridiculous

No it's my opinion.

Be a white gay man and vote for Trump. He's grown. He can vote for who he wants.

But why mention it on a British game show? Smh.

So you make it known you're a racist, and don't care about the gay community.

That's why you don't talk about politics or religion. Whatever side you are on.

I mean he doesn't even seem ashamed about it. It's like he's proud to be a conservative gay man. The sole gay person this year too. Smh.

I also doubt you're not black/Black American and homosexual like I am. If you were you would be rightfully pissed about it.

The fact he's a member on this forum doesn't mean anything. This is a popular message board. I also post on Survivorsucks as Boaxy so. I post on reality tv message boards too.

And it's my opinion that you're being ridiculous. You've called him a racist for voting for someone you didn't vote for. I'm not saying Trump should have won, but to slam every single person who voted for him is sheer ignorance, especially given Raph's heritage
