...here are my thoughts.
BB4 was heavily criticised after being a fairly dull series. Big Brother fans were slightly concerned about how this might effect the future of the show.
So...to counter this...Big Brother became EVIL!
The show was given a fresh new feeling and success was restored; resulting in the re-birth of Celebrity Big Brother.
However...since 2004/2005, little has been done to maintain this freshness and the Big Brother format has stayed relatively the same.
After the controversial re-entering of housemates in BB7 and the infamous race-row in Celeb BB5...the negative press has re-occured. Although for different reasons than after BB4, the pressure on Endemol/C4 remains the same.
Therefore I think that BB8 is due a 'shake-up'. The show is in a similar stage to pre-BB5, this leads me to believe that Endemol will insert a new lease of life; and give it that 'fresh' feeling I wont stop talking about.
This is just my opinion and maybe I'm just hoping too hard for BB8 to be an ace series; but I would appreciate hearing other people's thoughts on what I have just said and whether or not you agree.
