I've given up hope - instead I'm hoping to be proved wrong.

This series has been totally abbhorent and without a shadow of a doubt the worst one I have ever watched. All the problems started from the first night - a dull cast that did not gel and have not really provided much entertainment. As much as I like John, he is no BB legend. He's just one of the best out of this very dire cast. Sam is the only close thing we have to a BB legend - and he should've been in this series from the start.

They have relied on silly gimmicks this series to pull in viewers - Jedward, although funny, was a new low. And sending housemates out of the house and putting people in, totally defeating the premise of the show, is ludicrous.

The lack of alcohol, punishments and the fact that everything is so politically correct is another reason why I will be glad when it's all over. Big Brother is a show that is meant to portray reality and not stop people doing things they would in the real world...i.e drink/argue.

And finally - after everything that has been dull and crap about this series, we at last get an opportunity to have an unpredictable, exciting, close final four between John, Sam, Corin and Josie - and then the producers go and pull what I can only describe as one of the worst production decisions I have ever seen on any show ever. It's series suicide and has completely robbed us fans of a great end to this abbhorent mess of a series. I feel it's a final '**** you' to us fans, as well as being a money-grabbing excercise and a blatant ploy to engineer a Josie win. A complete and utter farce.

It's sad, sad day when a small group of incompetent producers can ruin a once loved and iconic TV show.

RIP, Big Brother.

It could have all been different if just these 5 minor changes were made:

* 16 HMs on launch, all 14 we got but with Sam and Keeley also in at the start. The ones we had could have been so much different with just Keeley and Sam thrown in to the mix.

* A whole 13 week run with Allstars probably being the 2 weeks after that to allow more opportunities for evictions. It would have been great to finally have a tripple eviction at some point but I understand why people are criticising this so late in the game.

* ZERO interferance from the outside world. No Ben's stand up, hell no to Corina nd Andrew's duet, and another no to David Copperfeild. Army guy, no Ignore the obvious entrants, hell no to Jedward, no to the pantomine horse racing, and WTF was with the mariachi during the Taco Hell task? It served NO purpose at all.

* No intervening from BB whenever a HM raises their voice.

* BB should have supplied them with much, much more alcohol.
