Lack of decent housemates I think. BB has become a parody of itself. In the early years, the contestants were pretty representative of their age groups and the British public. We all knew someone like Craig, or someone like Helen, or Kate or Jonny for example. Now, they pick contestants who are complete extremes and stereotypes, and they engineer conflict, instead of just letting conflict arise (which it would do when you stick a group of people in a house together). They deliberately put people in who they know will hate each other, and to be honest, it smacks of a desperate ploy from the program makers. And the whole business of a golden housemate and a secret house, with people thinking they're evicted when they're not really etc., etc. is just way too convoluted. They're trying too hard and going for all out sensationalism.
Not only that, but the housemates themselves are desperate attention seekers, who all see BB as a stepping stone to becoming famous without actually needing any talent for anything.
