I don't think the problem is with the viewers, but with the producers. They constantly interfere and manipulate it to make it entertaining, but I think if BB15 were like BB5 or BB6 with the producers stepping back and letting the housemates shine on their own it would be a massive success. All production has to do is cast well and the rest will fall in place.

I would love to think that but there are loads of reality shows and it is no longer a novelty as it was in the early days of BB.

If they had BB1 on in 2013. the ratings would be near non-existent.

Well it's far more of a reality show than most programs that get lumped under that title; things like X Factor, the Apprentice etc.

Even with all of the manipulation and gameplaying, acting etc. we are fundamentally still watching people live out their lives on our screens over a series of weeks, I don't see how that's not reality tv

Reality shows are meant ti be entertaining so I don't know what you're on about.

Its real in the sense that it isn't scripted and these are real people, but if you think about it bb hasn't been real since bb1 because they put real people in unreal situations. Take nick for example I'm pretty sure in real life he doesn't write notes to people and make up stories about people dying, he behaved like that because he was put in a situation where he felt he had to manipulate people to win another example is all crazy emotions in the house, allot of the times housemates throw crazy tantrums and cry over little things which leads use to believe they are putting an act on and their emotions are fake but we don't consider that maybe being in that house exaggerates your emotions and makes you react differently from how you would in your normal day to day life.
