BB and CBB were both a bi product of an idea someone had concerning the social interaction we got when 15 or so individuals were thrown into a house and situations were allowed to develop by designed interaction through starvation, tasks, race, gender and all manner of different things afoot.

In the past the format was twisted and massaged to irk the interaction side of things and mayhem and social experiments ended up in tatters which gave us our entertainment. Silly thing is that it isn't BB or CBB that has gone downhill, ITS US THAT HAVE RUINED IT.

Why is this......well its simple......Matters regarding what is or is not acceptable these days in our modern PC society are mapping the success of said programmes. What are they ???????

1. The vast majority of the GBP want the sex to flourish in the house, yet we are now highly critical of how this happens. So we cant wish for one thing and put a rule book and a set of guidelines on the table that governs how the act should be performed. That would be silly as true acts of love are formed over longer periods than the programme allows, hence the faux romances for mag deals.

2. I influx of designer dickheads like Speidi and Perez have winkled their way into our society and when these fools infiltrate a programme like CBB or BB, the fights and situations become scripted and false, but the outcomes are revered by those baying for blood at any cost.

3. Gender issues are now very PC sensitive, so when we look at the viewer demographic, we get many different views and opinions from everyone across the board, from chavs, gays, straights, old and the plain daft. These views are never ever right or wrong, they are opinions on life that are viewed differently by everyone concerned. Casing point this year is that it seems the majority of the younger viewer and forum warriors think that Scotty is hilarious but that Winston is a pervert. Both are disgusting but nobody can agree whats right.

4. Issues of gender are overly sensitive in regards to situations on the show. In more recent times the forums went into meltdown when Kellys issues were discussed but we were more tolerant in times gone by when Nadia cropped up and dating further back they simply didn't make the programme. These days the platform for voicing opinions on all things concerning gender issues is not only built, it is promoted as a solid footing in our society

5. What can and cant be said id shrouded in mystery and misunderstood except when it can be used to drive a point home. Not so long ago race was never an issue and the Golliwog graced our breakfast tables with affection and golliwog dolls were given to kids of all races, nowadays fairy tales are outlawed as offensive and people like Ken Morley are branded as tyrants when they mention the N word.

6. Several years ago we laughed uncontrollably at Danny Larue and Dame Edna was a firm household favourite. These days people like Rylan can get away with homosexual innuendos and straight people are regarded as perverts if they were to do the same. The system allows Blacks to call other blacks ******* and its funny, Michele Visage can call gays queers and its acceptable but she is straight. Gay men can and do call other gay men raving ***** but its not acceptable for a straight man to do it even though he may be a closet queen and the act of an older man chasing a younger woman is regarded as perverted unless of course he has loads of money then its encouraged by the very type of women that pursue these men for their own means.

In short, our views these days are so shrouded in mystery and subterfuge that we have lost sight of the true values we call entertainment. CBB is a show that will bring out the worst in people because they are under stress and we and the shows producers know that, so why are we surprised when the **** hits the fan. Its only human nature to act like that in a fish bowl but should we not be more tolerant in our views, or maybe if we cant, maybe we should just simply be told to switch off if we cant tolerate it.

CBB is being ruined by us and our overly politically correct views, not the antics of the shows ensemble. Its a show that's designed to get our juices flowing and being overly sensitive on all these contrived issues are ruining the show.

ERGO ITS OUR FAULT, NOT THE SHOWS OR ITS MEMBERS OR STAFF.
