BB5, BB6 and BB7 all got high viewing figures. Higher, or the same as (BB6) than BB4 (Which actually got decent viewing figures for Channel 4)

They started ******ing with the format cause of a number of reasons, one of the main ones was the public constantly sabotaged their own viewing experience leaving the final weeks as the most boring thing on tv.

This is nonsense. The reason the final 2 weeks are invariably boring is because the housemates see the end in sight. As for big characters getting evicted... Fine, it makes the eviction nights much more interesting.

Its viewing figures always started high then nosedived as the series went on and the big characters went.

No, it did not. In BB3 the viewing figures went up in the last 3 weeks. In BB5 it was the same story. BB6 was mostly consistent. BB7 suffered as a result of Nikki getting evicted. But the only reason she was evicted was because of interference with the nominations. They punished Jayne by putting everyone up but her. So the producers interference was to blame. It's not that they sabotage their own show, it's that they are idiots.

TBF the producers made a hash of rectifying this and just messed it up further but they had to try something as it was not working. And largely still doesnt.

Every time the producers have got involved they have made the show worse off. Nikki would never have gone when she did but for the producers making the decision they did. They would never have got themselves in trouble had they not put Jade and her family in and let the treatment of Shilpa get out of control. BB8 would never have been such a flop had they started with a proper cast and not been so heavy handed with Emily.

Almost every bit of interference in this show has damaged it.
