4. The appalling ejection of Emily in the middle of the night with her saying "But I'm not wearing any underwear" as she was told to exit.
5. The fixing of nominations to keep Charley in longer than anyone could bear (after bringing Nikki back the year before)
6. The abysmal Half way house idea (which they seem to have been inspired by this year and which ended up being even worse)
BB7 had, until Nikki's eviction, an average viewing audience of 4.8 million. BB10 had an average viewing audience of less than 2.5 million. They lost over 2 million viewers in a couple of years.
As for BB10. It was awful. In the first week they had Sophie and Freddie rename themselves Dogface and Halfwit. They had Noirin walking around with glasses and a moustache drawn on her face. The live coverage was seriously reduced and the tasks were utter crap.

Tbf this happened because the production cast badly that year and Charley was the only real A star Housemate that they had that series.
