When the show started, its appeal was that it involved 10 housemates who were members of the general public going to live in a confined space for nine weeks and seeing how they interact.
Many on the forum have remarked that BB is about 'entertainment'. This is only partly true. For me, it was not just about this, but about the psychological interaction between the housemates and to see how human beings behave in guinnea pig like conditions. It was not just only for entertainment.
Obviously, once the show is done once, the uniqueness wears off. It began as a fairly intelligent programme with a truly random mix of people going into the house.
Now the show has become a popular mass media phenomenon and is consequently losing its unique psychological perspective.

Proof of the above:-

Look at the increased number of housemates from the start,
Look at the increased number of weeks,
The attempt to tamper with nominations continuously.
All the housemates now seem to have appeared in trial runs of the show...what happened to taking random members of the public?

Look at the cliches that have emerged. They are going on what was 'entertainment' in previous years and reguritating the same characters, except these clones are losing their originality.

1) Loads of muscle men or men who are obsessed with working out.
2) Gays over represented
3) Common girls who are interested in clubbing and pulling,
4) Rapper
5) Fake boobs
6) Models/Strippers/Previous media exposure/Wannabes

Think to yourself...why are there pics of Nikki posing in her bunny suit? Why take on Miss Wales? Why bring in ONLY single people? Why bring in such blatantly vile housemates?

7) BB contestants are supposed to undergo a complete psychological analysis before they go in to ensure they are stable. I do not believe Shabbaz was stable at all. He clearly had serious issues, but was essentially used as a guinnea pig.

8) Why is there such a predonderence of unintelligent housemates. Of course this will sound arrogant of me, but none of them (save Richard perhaps) is able to have any debate at all.

I think the show is a disgrace now. Davina has also become a cliche of herself. Such a shame that the public are constantly tricked into idolising these fools, and think they are representative of society. This really is celebrity BB, just with wannabes.

I will watch to the end, because I want to see how far Richard goes, but it is a farce.

It's pretty bad this year. I spend more time reading about it on sites like this than actually watching it. I even miss the highlights show sometimes (shock horror). I am generally losing interest, and holding onto the slim hope that it will somehow improve.

This "not-so-secret" house debacle might just kill the show altogether.

I agree with a lot of your points .. mainly about HM selection. They are bland and samey.

I love it and got bored after the first sentence lol

Yeah
The people themselves dont put me off Big Brother because if they are fun to watch I dont care
The twists this year are fantastic
Its one of my favourite years

To each their own Chris... I hate the twists this year.. but like I said, not everyone agrees, and to be fair, it's hard for BB to please everyone.

You are probably in the target audience more so than me on account of our ages, therefore it's probably better for BB that you like it and I don't... if that makes sense?..

I knew you wouldn't be able to understand it, Chrizzle!

[ferg_luvs_bb7]

I wasn't sure if he was having an off-day.. or maybe suffering from some male PMT...

I agree it is getting a little 'samey' but it's bound to happen with a show like this. I still think it's great entertainment though. It's the only continuous show on TV I watch religiously.

Charming b@stard then?

I agree with deep2, as our country is on a recession, our country is dieing becuase the lack of intellegence in the UK. Unlike India and China. But society in the UK will be forced to change. And it is changing, the UK is killing off the hip-hop seen trying to put in more geeky and mind simulating music like geeky rock. Soon it will change more for the sake of our country.
