There's various reasons why BB's died the way it has

Right from BB1 5 of the 11 HMs admitted they wanted to have a career as singer/songwriters or TV presenters, from BB2 they've all been cast as 'characters', BB5 to cause conflict, and BB6 onwards as just too 'out there'

Lack of alcohol to avoid any risque behaviour and Ofcom complaints

Intervening during heated arguments to avoid claims of bullying and Ofcom complaints

Producer manipulation via sending Nikki back in, sending in housemates' partners or ex partners, Tree of Temptation, Davina McCaw

Bizarre or repeated twists to make it more of an entertainment show than social experiment e.g. double evictions, sending people back in, Halfway house

Total lack of regard for the original concept of the show e.g. HMs that know eachother, sending in multiple guests (Army guy, Andrew Stone, every single person from the 'ignore the obvious' task), allowing HMs to leave the house via Lisa and David's London task, Ben's stand-up routine, or Corin and Andrew's singing

Annihilation from the press from pretty much every year but CBB5 took the biscuit
