Default Why Big Brother IX went pear shaped


I just thought I would get this in before anyone else "pipped" me to the post

It is kind of a tradition that I assume it is panned before it starts.

Assuming it does not go the way of the CBB and get cancelled

I really don't get why people are writing BB9 off already. BB8 was bad but each year they change the production team. At least reserve your opinion until official information has been released and wait until launch night. Then come back and say why it will fail.

On the off chance that it does fail , then the topic creator will apeear wise by matter of pure coincidence.

Im guessing thats the motivation. That , or a career in fortune telling is being sought.

All the big brothers to date have had pretty big SNAFU's

These threads are an annual tradition since I think at least BB III, I set them up to discuss why the best Big Brother ever, as billed by C4 / Endemol failed to live up to expectations.

They are always started ahead of time, to get them ready. Last year was kind of unique because we could see in advance how BB would be impacted, thanks to the CBB debacle, and to some extent this proved to be the case.

And no I am not into fortune telling, mearly being an analyst.

What from? A trend of 1 series? Discounting all silly spin offs, BB7 was 2 years ago and is the third most successful in BB history. BB5 was just two before that and was the second most successful. BB3 was two years before that and was the most successful.

Theres a little trend analysis for you to think about.
