Definitely it's in the top 5 reasons it lost it's charm for some, especially for me. It wasn't too bad from BB 1-4, you had some of the female guests doing Zoo photo shoots and going to z list celeb parties. But I think personally with BB6 with the arrival of Orlaith is when I sensed the change of using BB just to up their profile. After that the flood gates opened with each passing series.
I do think the racist row did hurt the show immensely, it lost it's fun side with that. The Vote back in with Nikki from BB7 really hurt too. I think putting the show on longer instead of the eight weeks wasn't the smartest idea. I also think it just lost it's shine with a big audience. I think doing it every summer was a bad idea, they should have left it every two years.
For me BB1 to BB7 is it's peak years.
