the all female launch night was a non-starter - people just switched off,
its OK gladhanding and stroking each other about who watches what and how wonderful it is but it means nothing in TV show survivability terms. I've been an avid viewer since series 1, BB4 was dreadful, and BB7 peed me off so much I stopped watching halfway through, caught a couple of highlight shows a week and watched the finale...this time I'm tuning in, but have yet to watch a show all the way through - its dull.

Ratings, schmatings ????

Poor ratings will kill this show faster than Jade Goody.

Diehard fans bigging it up regardless of how bland it is, and being blind to the fact - thats one thing, but in the real world the viewing figures are the be and end all.

Something drastic needs to happen.

I'll wager there was a meeting held with C4 and Endemol when they found out those ratings - the question what are Endemol going to do ?.

For BB7 they ripped the voting public off and put the Nikkifreak back in..

you wanted "twists", well you are going to get them, and they'll be desperate.

Funny, with a house made up of a good cross-section of HMs like some people were practically begging for before it started, me included and this problem wouldn't have happened.

I haven't been liking this show at all, and now I suspect car crash TV on the horizon.....


Whats the phrase I've been trying to avoid - oh yeah - told you so

Pity.


I recommend Tomb Raider Anniversary, problem is I've already finished it.

Was BB4 any good? Apparently it wasn't so good, so BB8 is better, right The experiment must be working..

The all-female start was a decision that Endemol have made & it added a new edge to the show. Ratings were okay at that point, even when Ziggy joined.

Those who don't watch the show avidly can't make clear judgements.

Jade Goody brought great ratings, as when she plays to the cameras, as she knows what viewers want, people watch.

As BB4 & BB7 bothered you, then you must have enjoyed Jade Goody then.

Endemol always have meetings & BB will make changes & stuff. Richard Branson hasn't popped his head in yet.

The assumption that if Endemol hadn't made these decisions, (then the show would be a success) Your comment is lacking substance, just in that assumption alone.
