Ugh what a *****.

I just hate him for everything he has done, to think I use to respect him.

-Promising us twists
-Promising us the best series ever
-Making a V.T.E the stupid bastard.
-Ignoring BB9 In BB All Stars.
-Ignoring the IDH in BB All Stars.
-Leaving DS so now I can't even ask him about BB9 HMs in All Stars.

He made BB in to a 'freak show' and tampered with everything BB initially stood for. Yes, he's done quite a few good things but then it all went wrong. I often wonder how different it would have been if Ruth Wriggley were still in charge

Its is a bit but the whole thread is worth a read

I like post #108 PEJ states Endemol dont get any money from the votes, so its all profit for channel 4 eh?

When did Ruth leave? Did she used to be exec?

Around 2001 I think, I think now because PEJ has been there since 2002 working on BB3, Before he wasn't that important.

She was the executive producer of BB1 and 2, I'm guessing CBB1 as well, and Phil Edgar Jones took over from BB3. But I was confused watching that 10 years of BB documentary back in June because Ruth said she didn't like Jade as a contestant, and I wondered was this just her opinion as a viewer, or did she still have some form of insight as a member of the production team?

That's right, he had ZERO involvement with BB1 but joined the team in BB2 to run BBLB and the Friday night live evictions, and then became exec producer for BB3

Yeah, and now he's got such a high opinion of himself that he's patronising and super-sensitive to criticism .....

What's a V.T.E?

Atleast he's leaving Endemol so if BB12 does happen it'll be out with the old and in with the new.

... Or we can petition to reinstate Ruth :D

Vote To Evict. Patrick and a few others want a vote to save rather than evict

who has seen catherine tate sketch with the couple whose catchphrase is

"the dirty bastards"

thats what i think when i read that PEJ quote
