Big Brother is one of the cheapest shows Channel 4 makes. Even if another network or Channel 4 themselves extended the contract at a lower priced deal, the show would STILL make profit.

I dont have an inherent need to dig into the housemates personas. It is just a television show to me. And I will judge them as TV characters based on what I am seeing on the highlights show. Sure, theirs going to be some editing but that is unescapable, given the nature of the show.

I am not disputing the whole popularity thing. My point was I, me, I care about the show and I enjoy the show. I dont care what tabloids think. Same with those who still watch the show. So you cant say De Facto that Big Brother is dead. It is insulting to those who still enjoy the show.
