Anyhow, back to the topic at hand and I'm delighted Shirley Jones is back - only wish they'd bought her in this time last year before it was too late. From what I've read she seems to know what needs doing too - and I've gone from having absolutely no interest in the show a few weeks back to actually looking forward to Celeb BB returning now.
Another thing that gives me faith is Celebrity Hijack. OK, I know it splits opinion but it showed that how from the ashes of an incredibly poor series (in that case, BB8) you can get something great - and Celebrity Hijack is one of my favourite series of recent years, and I know a lot of the people I've discussed the show with over the years online (elsewhere) share that view too. It shows that just because BB10 was excruciatingly awful, the subsequent winter series can still be outstandingly brilliant - and that's the hope I'm clinging on to.

The thing about Big Brother, and I guess its why I always come back to BB no matter how awful the previous series is, the next can be great because a series is made by the housemates. BB7 had shocking production yet I thought it was an alright series, whilst I can hardly fault the production of BB4 and CBB6, yet the housemate selection was terrible and let the whole series down.
As long as they get the housemate selection right, BB can in theory, as Davina always says, go on forever. They just need to keep it fresh each time which they've been failing to do since 2006.
