Civilian has fallen sooooooo far from grace that i think its unsalvageable.

They treat the long term fans (of 16 years) disgracefully yet pander to the fair-weather twitter followers who are granted their MTV style casting.

Teenagers now control this mess of a format. And Producers are facilitating it.

Casting directly from modelling agencies (Jale revealed that there were only two from her series that actually auditioned normally, the rest where cast from agencies)

TOWIE, Chelsea, Geordie Shore, Love island.

All obsessed with stupid, good looking people, shagging each other, having fake romances and fighting.

THAT is what our beloved civilian BB has become. Another scripted drama.

We now no longer have to contend with 1 or two showmances a series, they're trying to get them ALL having showmances.

I no longer trust the people in charge to deliver 'reality' TV.

Its abysmal

At least with Celebrity Big Brother theres a chance to have some normal looking, normal sounding people in there. Because they're cast for their name and not their face/6 pack.
