Watching the latest series of Big Brother and thinking back to all the previous series of BB incl the CBB series a thought occurred to me that we are definitely in the twilight years of this once fine programme. A series that over the years has given us so many memorable moments now seems to be just going through the motions. How many of if we were brutally honest would admit that this latest series has been nothing short of a disaster, with the BB chiefs breaking every rule in the book to keep audience figures high and the phone votes coming in , it's really only a money making device and if I'm honest I watch it more out of a sense of nostalgia.

BB has run its course and maybe it's time to turn the lights off once and for all...!!! Your thoughts ????

[reece(:]

I think the next series will be make or break to be honest.

This type of thread seems to pop up every 2 weeks or so. People take it all so seriously, just either watch it or don't.

hes a right to express an opinion on the matter, my opinion is 1) you didnt contribute to this thread you just tried to put down the poster and 2) the book is great, the idea is great, the show in theory has infinite potential , but........the show has gone downhill purely because the producers are spineless cowards who always go for the lowets common denominator entertainment...their selection of housemates is the main problem, shallow one dimensional self centred wannabee, uber bores....they dont even bother smattering the house with a few normal folks or genuine eccentrics, just desperate wannabees........if they change their approach, the show could survive, but weve been hoping for that for years

3) Pipe down. I'll reply to threads how I want.

[Yayita]

completely agree, but it seems they are happy with the ****ty ratings.

[Jordan.]

Some of us are enjoying it still

[armand.kay]

I just want it to go on till I'm old enough to audition .

[iRyan]

I actually think this is the best series since BB10.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Well this season is easily better than BB2, 4, 8, 10, 11, and 12 so I think it's successful.

This.

BB10 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BB13

[Jarrod]

No. I'm enjoying it. Others are enjoying it.

[Nedusa]

Mostly positive replies, perhaps I've underestimated the mood of the Big Brother audience. Maybe I should have posed the question what makes for an enjoyable Big Brother series.

Perhaps people are actually happy to watch a programme that imprisons a dozen or so people for up to 77 days making them jump through hoops for the publics entertainment. Perhaps any noble thoughts about a social experiment or psycho social exercise is long gone, and all we really like is watching those HM go slowly mad for a £100K.

Bring it on......!!!!!!!

[CallumJoshuaSturt]

This is a great year of bb

[Black Dagger]

It's been the best series since BB10.

Some loathsome house-mates, but still one of the better series in recent times.

I think it will go completely downhill from next year, my expectations are very low for next year's series.

Yeah, it's going to be really hard to get this again. The housemates carried most of it, plus some good tasks. But BB have been dicks most of the time and so many characters got evicted.

And now folks seriously I kid you not its 10.51 and one of the HM ( Luke S) has taken out his left testicle on National T.V and is showing it to all the other HM, well I'm pretty speechless, over 75 years of Television, thousands of programmes costing Millions of pounds covering every topic under the Sun, and what do we have to show for it all, some nomark getting his Balls out for Millions of people to see ( incl his whole family).

DO I REALLY NEED TO SAY ANYMORE.......!!!!!!!!!!!

I am enjoying it, but this person is right. There are so many moments with Big brother that are TV gold and are very well known, like Nicki Grahame. There hasn't really been anything in the last two series. I AM enjoying it though. I just think they need to stop trying to transform the show into TOWIE. Stop it with the editing. Go back to the gritty format it had before moving to channel 5. It feels trashy sometimes now.
