On LI we get the same types all the time and they are from simple backgrounds. On BB the HM's are picked because of the degree of mayhem they are likely to cause and their antics in the house are Faux so it throws the dynamics way off and creates issues for the fans.

I think I have to agree with this for the most part...

I prefer LI rt now because I know what I am getting... They know what they are selling...and they aren't afraid to own it.

It's true to it's format... And really light hearted compared to BB which tries to hard to produce drama and twists that go no where

ITV2 deserve those ratings tbh

Both series have increased from their last year's run.

It was merely a point of interest that LIs audience has almost trebled, while BBs has had only a small increase, it's interesting to wonder where these extra viewers have come from and how the two shows perform side by side

Apparently LI gained 1.13m viewers (inc. +1) as Zara lost her miss GB crown for having sex on the show, while BB had 1.09 (inc. +1)

LI is a huge success. I bet C5 can't wait until it ends.

Could it be the LI are flourishing at the hands of BB defectors. I have never watched LI before but I do now. I like the format of LI because you know what you are getting but with BB its all about what the Prods want you to know and the reality format seems to have been replaced by enforced scripting in part.

Nobody likes to be told they are wrong or what to do so the prods are not doing themselves any favours by being guarded and keeping BB viewers and fans of the show outside the loop. It used to be a show driven by fan opinions, its now become something entirely different, hence the mass migration of fans.
