none of those 4 options

the producers killed big brother

they started to be bias and pushing their favourites and praising the nasties as they give "entertainment" they thought the viewers wanna see showmances, bitches and other fake sh*te
old school BB was more REAL and had millions more viewers and voters

just look at big mouth, that show is the lowest of the low gutter TV

endemol catered to the wrong crowd

So do I !!....It was inexcusable how that fiasco was allowed to happen!!

Whether your a Jade fan or not!!

It was'nt even down to P.C madness!....It was simply ridiculous!!

Tabloid-fever at it's worst!!

[ILoveTRW]

Personally I think they changed the format so much that they had done everything and the public got bored, look at The Real World, still going strong after 18 years and the only format change they have made since the first season was to have 8 housemates instead of 7.

POT and KETTLE come to mind

[BB_Eye]

None of those

CBB5 and OFCUM (intentional mispelling) killed Big Brother.

If Shilpagate and Ofcom hadn't happened, Big Brother would have had no reason to die.

[RosieRed xxx]

They made it too complicated and listened to their own hype

Do they read the Star in India?

All the reason given are true but the biggest thing is that it became the producers show and not the viewers. They manipulated to to cater for themselves and not for us and they're still at it. They should have gone out with a bang. They're not.

I voted BB8 but as has been said it could be BB7. It could actually be BB4 with the South African trip.

[LemonJam]

ofcom

[arsenalforever]

Once the News of the world stopped there 12 page BB coverage every sunday and Heat magazine's front page interview with every evicted hm(remeber that) i think BB's time was up

Oh yeah, that trip - the one that just fell into Julyan's brother Cameron's well-travelled multilingual lap .....

Cameron Stout is the older brother of award-winning STV presenter Julyan Sinclair.

The export studies graduate speaks fluent French and Spanish, Japanese and Norwegian. After graduating from Napier University in Edinburgh in 1992, he lived in Lyons, France, for a year, working as an assistant curator in an art gallery.

He then moved to Seville, Spain, where he taught English to children. In 1995 he moved back to Orkney and took up a job at Orkney Salmon, before moving to his current job buying and selling fish for the company North Landing, which sees him split his time between Orkney and the United States of America.

Once things got ugly both literally with BB8 and 9 and metaphorically with the race rows I think it lost a bit of simplicity.

But people get bored of everything that has a long life, especially reality TV.

AIDS killed my Big brother

He would have been 36 today.

To add to this.
The wrong people getting evicted and
also the bb team putting in s h i t housmates.
and awful editing in the past few series

2006. The two series with the yellow&black. BB7 because it ruined the finity of the house. Nikki going back, Aisleyne's separate house - it became more than a normal BB and the producers began bending the rules to get the 'entertaining characters' more airtime. Then of course CBB ruined all of its credibility to an immeasurable degree.

Definitely this.

[Bigbrofan25]

1, The producers
2, The heavy PC rules and censorship due to the race row
3, The viewing public who always voted out the most interesting people first and left bores in the final

[brian3]

If BB had dealt with the race row thing better at the time it happend. They would not feel compelled to be so carefull
