What demographic are they looking for
 
The producers of BB are obviously designing the show with a specific demographic in mind, but what is that demographic. It would appear to me, that the order of the day seems to be built and designed around sex and violence masquerading under the banners of romance and conflict.

The type of people interested in those issues seems to be a very narrow and specific target market. The problem therein is that for the most part, these people don't have the wherewithal to spend loads on votes and to a degree, tend to support the Speidi's and the Perez's of this world.

That being said, the Jeremy Kyle / Geordie shore type audiences seem to be more interested in a type of program that does not represent the typical demographic of the fans that have supported BB for so long. It leads me to believe that The BB producers have decided to scrap the show as we know it and turn it into a free for all and a breeding ground for lowlifes and the scum of society.

The funny tasks, the naturally occurring conflict and the storylines that tend to develop when the show is left alone, all seem to be a thing of the past and these idiots in charge seem to think we all want to watch a scripted show that is full of people we wouldn't give the time of day to.

When are they going to understand that people like Perez and the speidi's of this world, are little more than unpaid actors that make their money from designed conflict and forced storylines that, in the main, make for uncomfortable viewing for the many die hard fans that have stuck by BB for many years.

Personally I am considering switching off for the next series because the show has departed and veered off the road in a different direction to the show I loved and used to look forward to watching. Anyone that enjoyed the last few days contributions from BB is (IMO) not that interested in the show as a reality show, but probably prefer something different.

BB .........RIP.

How come you never included Helen. Great post though about the type of demographic that wanted her to win last year:laugh::laugh:

But post is spot on.

Speidi and Perez were on CBB and were getting paid so they were pretty much paid actors.............like 99% on CBB!!!
At least Speidi and Perez livened both of their Series' up and both would have been nigh on unwatchable without them.:shrug:

.....and there isn't a better figurehead alive that suits the Jeremy Kyle/Geordie Shore demographic than Helen! She is the epitome of that 'culture'.

I wasn't a Helen advocator, I just liked her honesty and excitement she brought. she didn't attack first and she didn't get her baps out or drop her drawers.

please tell me one instance that she did something lewd or one instance when she attacked someone first. banter and arguments are part of the game by the way.

Are you serious. Jale, Chris etc. Anyway, besides the point. It is the demographic part of your post. Irony at its finest. Helen is at the bottom of society.

You forgot to mention IMO as it is blatantly obvious that we sit different sides of the demographic fence and never the twain shall meet whilst we have differing views. Lets leave it at that, no need to fall out as its only a tv show.

I would not fall out with you Sam over a TV show. Just saying that the Helen win was liked and helped by a lot of the demographic that you mentioned. Just like the bed wetter winner was.:laugh:

Aye. Coming back to me now. Very vicious. Reminded me of Danny nose to nose with Marc. I thought she was going to hit Matthew.

When all you can come up with is a different series and a different era, the words barrel and scrapping come to mind. Why don't we drag Jade Goody into it or maybe Victor and even Charlie or any other nasty act from many years gone by to emphasize a point. If you stay in the moment, Helen acted according to her brief and Nikki and Brian failed really badly, simples.
