This Effing Sucks - My BB Rant
I really must voice my anger over how stupendously the producers have ****ed up this series. Earlier today I saw the healines "BB RATINGS HIT ALL TIME LOW". And instead of my usual groan and feeling of worry in my stomach, I simply thought, "Well I'm not suprised".
We really should've known from early on. It started with a seriously shoddidly produced and unenticing advertising campaign. They didn't even try to hide the fact theat they didn't even redo the BB9 eye flashes - let alone produce new ones - no, they made it pretty clear they just did a half arsed edit. They failed to realise that the star pupil was far to big and the red segment was a little too far down.
Then the whole lack of launch night twist. Celebrity Big Brother is known for getting a lot of casual viewers, people that wouldn't watch the summer series. So naturally as they have done in the past, it should start with a bang to coax these newbies to continue watching. But nothing. Only a rehash of the summer format tweak, hardly a twist.
This lack of suprise has reflected trhoughout the series. Because there was nothing to start with the housemates settled in nicely unlike previous series where they kept them on their toes. So then when they finally do attempt a surprise element, the surprise reveal of the nominations - which got less than 2m viewers due to a horrific lack of advertising. - it could not have fallen any flatter. The housemate were far from shocked and the viewers that did tune in were rightly unimpressed.
One of the worst things about CBB6 has got to be the shameless whoring of Verne's disability. They could not shove it down our throats any more. Make it as obvious that he is your "chosen one" as you possibly can. Whats worse is that we are been given an obscured view of the other housemates, whenever anything remotely interesting comes out of some of the quiter housemates mouths such as Ben or Mutya, we get no more than a minute of it before it switches to Verne informing Tommy yet again of how his condition affects him.
------------------------------------------------------------
BB needs a total overhaul for BB10. The advertising campaign needs refreshing, we;ve had the same since BB3 now, it doesn't excite anyone anymore and hasn't one since BB7.
The house and studio needs a look over too. BBLB and Big Motuh needs scrapping, put George on a replacement and a new host for a BBBM style show but with a real audience - not a crowd of deluded wannabes desperate for fame. Regular people who enjoy the show and want to share their opinion.
Re-evaluate the character of Big Brother. BB9's Zero Tolerance theme was ambitious to say the least and totally unrealistic. Perhaps a "Justice" them would be more fitting. The tasks need to have a clear theme and longer. No more three chances for each three sets of housemates and then threee chance within that group.
Basically - change or kill. It'sthe only respectable option.
