I really enjoyed Channel 5's version but on Channel 4 it felt bigger! Can Channel 5 restore BB to its former glory???

[Black Dagger]

Ratings wise, Yes

Although I enjoyed BB12 more than BB8/11/10

I also enjoyed CBB9 more than a couple of the Celebrity versions on C4.

I just think most people got bored of the product and you're only left with die-hards now.

I certainly didn't.

Except for BB10 & BB11, I enjoyed it way more on C4, it never failed to disappoint, and it seemed much more original. It's a bit more tacky on C5 tbh, although I still love it.

That's the understatement of the year.

I don't think it ever died because it's still on our tv, it's just changing and moving with the times. Everything changes eventually.

[Valdora]

Every Channel has a "tone." C4's is a much more sober, less edited documentary style. Channel 5 want flash and glam. As much as I hate it, it's not going to change. And any ratings drops for the main series will be blamed on the show as a whole and not the changes.

All I want is a live feed. Not to watch so much, but just so I know nothing doggy is going on which was rife last year. Everything from random pens to "ipods" were never explained.

Personally I like the tone during the "evil" era which was a hybrid of the current and original. It was half social experiment and half wannabes. Now they have gone too far the other way straight to OK magazine style trash. It's a shame but like I said it won't change. Overdramatic editing style and lense flairs are all over every other realy show out there. BB is just following suit. Which I guess is a shame as the trend setter has now become the follower.

But if it keeps the show on the air then let's see what the summer brings.

The death came with the end of 24/7 live feed c5 finally made the best they could of it at the 3rd attempt but without live feed its still a fail.

[Jarrod]

I think that Channel 4 obviously will always be the main channel of the show. It was bigger on Channel 4 i think. But Channel 5 are doing their best to restore it.

I think Live Feed will be back this year.

CBB8, BB12 and CBB9 all felt 'bigger' than Big Brother 11 and Big Brother 10 did..

[CharlieO]

Yes, Big Brother never came back, it is entirely gone.

Abit like your personality then, because it clearly has came back when more people talk about it now than they did in the past 3 Years - and that the ratings are decent etc

So take your negativity and stop spurting it about everywhere just because you don't like the new series.

I can give my opinion when someone asks for opinions thank you very much.

The show is no longer around. None of the original concepts still stand. The show is only Big Brother by name and therefore it did die. Big Brother on channel 5 is beyond trash.

In your opinion, so stop stating it like a fact because that's utter bollocks.

Hypocrisy. Practice what you preach 'dude'.

LOL No, I'm serious.
I'm not as dedicated to it anymore either.

[joeysteele]

I feel Channel 4 let the series down and didn't do much to improve it's standing following the Jade/Shilpa incident.

I think Channel 5 are looking at it as a whole new project and so, I not only hope but think it likely over time that it will improve its ratings on Channel 5 considerably.

[Sam:)]

Even just watching old clip just makes me think, wow this show used to be so big. It looks like it was an expensive show (excluding BB10, the house+studio+exterior were pathetic)

[Pronshi]

Well it will be around a while, It had did amazing for channel 5.
Plus its helping sell Magazines ect.
I only read my mums mags or sisters to see big brother stuff or real people stories.

Well the only way is up, lets all stay behind the show and hope it improves
I do agree with the excitement going, I'm not sure why, maybe its because im getting older... Not sure.
But i can honestly say that and IAC is the only reason I watch Tv sometimes

[Tregard]

Give it 2 more years, and will see what's happened by then.

As far as rebirths go it's doing well. More people I know watched the finale of this year's CBB than did the last 2.

Agreed!...It is no better or worse than it has ever been!...but it is a human trait to look at the past through rose tinted spectacles!
Sure..you get the odd year with superior house-mates,..but even that relies on your personal preferences!
My personal favourite was the Derek, Science and Makosi year, but it is quite understandable that not everyone will agree with me!...Just as in the future , people may look back at the Aaron, Faye and Jay year with great nostalgic affection!...And who's to know what this year's series will bring?

For me...the show itself is just as good as it's ever been!...(and i've seen the lot)...but the spin-off shows are a different kettle of fish altogether !!
...but then, the only one of those that I miss..is Russell Brand's Big Mouth!...the rest have always been dross to me!


Cheers.
