Have BB fans turned into whiners?
 
All there seems to be is people comparing the new to old, or getting at the presenter, or the production, or the crowd. I don't think it's been that bad with Ch5. The first one wasn't great, but the normal one was pretty good and the celeb one was even better than that. They even cut down on the editing as well, so felt like "old" BB at times.

100% yes.

The thing about Big Brother, another reason it's so special is because it has one of the most loyal fan bases. Especially in the UK where if something's wrong with the show, we voice our opinion.
And if anything Endemol and Channel 5 should be over the moon that we as fans express ourselves so much and let them know what's working and what's not working, we're not whining - although some people who had a problem over the new eye, need to get a grip.

But yeah, we're just very very passionate and want the show to do well.

Very interesting. Your whining is constructive criticism, but anyone who criticises something you like needs to get a grip?

Hmmm.

Marsh. 10-05-2012 11:49 PM

TBH, I make comments over the set, the staging, the presenters etc but if only they got the cast right it'd be a blast. If we end up with another bunch of fame hungry 20 somethings I'm not bothering.

Every BB auditionee is fame obsessed. When are people going to get this into their thick heads?

People go on BB for one thing....FAME.

Wow, thanks for the insult.

And, yes, I'm well aware. It's one of the reasons BB is now crap. But there are plenty people wanting to go in that aren't 20 something and tangoed.

armand.kay 10-05-2012 11:55 PM

It must be working because when we moaned about the voting they changed it to vote to save, we moaned about the eye it changed also the editing changed and Marcus seemed more tame after we moaned. Now whether they are listening to use (to a extent) or just luck I don't know.

Nothing wrong with a bit of whining, just putting across what you think would be good for the show

Mystic Mock 11-05-2012 12:23 AM

I only ever complained about the favourtism towards certain Housemates before which as bad as it is I could live with that, it's when you feel that the whole show is full of love stories and producers giving out scripts to certain Housemates and taking away Live Feed (which is the whole point of BB) is when I start moaning, and I think every BB fan has that right considering all those stuff mentioned that Ch5 have taken away or added to the series.

Josy 11-05-2012 01:34 AM

I don't mind if people want to have a little moan now and then, I do it myself but when it's constant, like on here if its just constant moaning about everything in every thread it gets annoying and puts me off posting.

They are
as higher viewer amounts start.

So Ch5HD should stick with this for longer.

Good Post....there is a lot of critisism that doesn't merit it on here, and if those who keep saying how crap it's got yet are still posting on a forum really can't think it's that rubbish or else they wouldn't bother looking at the forum sights.
Also not everyone is fame hungry who auditions for Big Brother, it is a game show with £100,000 prize money, do they think people on Deal or not Deal or The Cube are fame hungry?
Some of us just want to do something out of the ordinary or experience something rare, others may be at a crossroads or bored with life and want the excitement - just because someone is attractive it doesn't necessarily make them fame hungry, it's always the attractive one's who get called fame hungry wannabe's what about the older or uglier one's or the geeks or posh one's who have been in before?
I agree some are, which was quite evident last year with 2 or 3 of them though, but don't judge everyone the same. To put yourself through this means you must have an outgoing personality, and are not just a show off.
On the plus side, the fame hungry wannabe's are usually evicted early and we love to hate in the UK so it all makes for great viewing anyway.

Jordan. 11-05-2012 08:56 AM

Not gonna lie I moan about it but it's better to be pleasantly suprised than let down.

thesheriff443 11-05-2012 09:08 AM

people need to wake up its not your show its a telivision program
just beacuse over the years you heard that crap you decide you think the production team gives a flying fcuk
what you want and what you get are worlds apart.

No, obviously you can have an opinion on the eye that's fine. But the people that are like 'I don't get why you're all happy with it, it's horrible. Worst eye ever' Are just being over the top ******ing bints who are looking for something to cry about.

Compare it to BB2, BB4 and BB12 and it's clearly not the worst eye ever - and by far better than last year's anyway.
So whilst it's fine to not like the eye, there's no need for people acting like it's THAT bad.

No offence Patrick, but this sounds like you in January when they reused the same BB12/CBB8 eye. Just saying.

Patrick 11-05-2012 12:15 PM

Yes? And I had every right to? It wasn't just me - because they reused the same eye, and literally everyone was annoyed.

The fact they've changed it is a brilliant thing, but there's still some ungrateful people who want it to be better.

I never said you didn't have a right to. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of you saying that people are "ungrateful" and overreacting about this year's eye when you behaved in the exact same way last year. YOU feel it's better than last years but not everyone shares that opinion.

Marc 11-05-2012 12:18 PM

I don't moan but I know for a fact BB3 is the best ever season :laugh: and I won't stand down.. ever.

Well even in the 'glory' years plenty were still fame hungry, it started years ago. The last normal one was the best mix I've seen in a while, lots of personalities that clashed. And the ones that really wanted fame were the ones that lost out. Alex, Jay, Louise, Rebeckah etc

I suppose we all see different things but I didn't find it much of a "mix" last year at all.

Once all the idiots were filtered out it was better

Mystic Mock 11-05-2012 02:38 PM

I actually thought BB12 got worse as time went on as away from about 3 or 4 Housemates the rest was annoying jackasses imo.
