Plenty of people tuned in at the beginning hoping that it would manage to recapture the magic that made the C4 series so great. It (very) quickly became evident that it absolutely had not and a lot of people just don't have the time or energy for a half-baked attempt.

Rose-tinted glasses firmly glued to faces because you really want it to work...
...and I'm not saying you shouldn't have enjoyed it, obviously each to their own, I'm sure there were things to enjoy in it but any one of you oldschool fans who would dare try to tell me that this is "proper" Big Brother, and not just some other reality show wearing Big Brother's flayed and decaying corpse as a skinsuit... ... ... all I can say is how dare you besmirch the golden era in such a way.
You know it isn't true. You know it isn't what you hoped for. You
know why the ratings took a nosedive
