[BringItOn]

[RosieRed xxx]

I watched everyone from 1 to 5 and loved it, after that watched bits of and last year hardly watched at all, but im hooked on this one.

[Jordan.]

Race row & BB8.

bb1-3 great stuff .. bb5 loved maxwell & box task after that... predictable...fans were no longer excited but ranting about HMs in an evil way

Yeah this.

BB8 was simply awful with the all girl start and went on too long until a male housemate entered (Don't class Ziggy as male). The race row shook C4 and they never recovered.

dennis the guy who spat on mo was more racist than jade goody

[Smithy]

The end of BB7 imo, people didn't like them putting back people who they'd paid to evict.

[MissKittyFantastico]

The race row and it being overly PC ever since.

[setanta]

The censors killed it. They're shackled big time now.

Jade wasnt a racist..she was simply falling out with someone she didnt like IMO it was ok for shilpa to call Jade names but not ok for Jade to retaliate whole natiion was up in arms about it its over deal with it!!

[Jase.]

Celeb BB with the Jade/Shilpa uproar is what killed Big Brother.

It's so depressing to see how censored it has become. It's just...ugh. :/

[Omah]

So many things but particularly CBB5, in its entirety, and mostly Goody, Budden & Tweed .....

I expected them to go, "fŁck them, it's the last show, let's go mad," but nah, same song again.

[Lex]

Popularity manipulation by production/editing staff!

[Stacey.]

Media lost interest really.

Jade did not retaliate. She started it.

Shackled and scripted .....

[Kazanne]

The Race row and when Nikki Graham got put back in.loss of Live feed

[Omah]

"Fast-tracked" HMs, starting with, IIRC, Cameron, through Derek Laud to Pete Bennet and ending with, AFAIK, the whole "cast" of BB11 .....

[Jack_]

- Race Row was the start of it
- They then were overly cautious during BB8 - and it was therefore shit
- With the rare exception of BB9's 'Fight Night 2', they have intervened far too early during even small arguments
- The production in the last couple of years has been absolutely dismal
- Censorship. Way too much of it.
- And finally, lack of press/media attention. But that's generally because of the above.

I agree with you Smithy - it hasn't felt the same since. It felt that BB was and continued in subsequent series to manipulate the nominations too much since for me. I much preferred it when they let things run there course naturally. I also think thay picked too many weird people in the last few years although this year they seem more 'normal'.
