Big brother is still a suitable title for people being filmed inside a house

Exactly, the concept of the show is still the same, i don't see the issue.

It's not, it's a shadow of it's former self, it's all contrived, manipulated drama.

The rules of Big Brother were the two or more housemates with the most nominations are up for eviction, that doesn't happen anymore, it's completely rigged, which is fine sometimes, but to have it done endlessly ruins the show.

That in itself is a contradiction, if you're so against the show going off it's normal tandem, you should be against rigging at all times, not just when it goes against your favour.

The concept of the show is literally, still the same, people being filmed 24/7 in a house, they nominate and people get evicted, that's the concept and one of the main rules is 'Big Brother holds the right to change the rules as he sees fit' the tagline for the show has always been 'expect the unexpected' so by doing these things that you're claiming is turning the show into a 'shadow of it's former self' they are sticking to what they set claim to all those years ago, it's the exact same show.

It can be done at times, because a show like this needs twists, whether my favourite is up or not, I would say one big twist a season and one minor with the rest natural flowing, but no, they just can't leave it.

Yes it's people being filmed 24/7, but it used to be letting them get on with their daily life in the house and seeing how the dynamics change naturally. Now? They spend their time being told by BB who has said what about who, argue about it and then it happens again.

The amount of outside information is also shocking, not only the chants, but social network opinions and guests coming in. It's not the show it once was at all.

Things evolve and things change, I personally don't see the big deal.

And you always say that you prefer a house full of drama and arguments, but yet you're given drama and arguments and now it's a different show and you don't like it.

I do agree that some things should probably be tweaked, like the diary room sessions and the outside contact, but honestly, the nominations twists don't bother me, normal nominations bore me and i normally always skip through them whenever they're shown, but to say that it's no longer Big Brother, is imo, a total overreaction.

I'm not actually disliking it, it's enjoyable enough, but imo it's still a shadow of it's former self.

Personally, the constant nomination twists bother me a lot - they were a huge part of the original concept of Big Brother.

It wasn't called big brother because of the rules, it was called big brother because of its similarities to Orwells novel, 1984 (big brother is always watching you). Considering they're all being filmed inside a house, it's still an apt title of the programme despite all the other major changes over the years

Fair enough, but a big part of the TV show is no outside contact as well.
