I agree, I think that was the final straw, plus the voting scandal.

i thought channel 5 didt get it

[smudgie]

Housemates keeping their eye on the win rather than going in to enjoy themselves.
Gone are the days when they all just acted the way they were, good, bad or indifferent.
You still got plenty of arguments because of personality clashes so it still kept us all amused.

Bias editing
Idiotic voters
Too much outside world contact
Repetative twists/task
Boring housemates

Hopefully Five will fix this

3. The pathetic producers

It was not so much the racism as the way BB delt with it. They could have put an end to it at the start. but they let it drag out. They delt with the situation badly.

[MusicMan]

From BB7 onwards I reckon, people were outraged that BB7 had housemates with mental issues and problems and stuff (trying to be more and more outrageous), plus the voting the evictees back in. Then the race row of CBB5. And over time, since the start, the housemates cared more and more about the fame and stuff, and housemates were becoming shallower about how they viewed their time on the show. BB got a reputation for being about showcasing egos.

...possibly

[Shardlake]

... the people who vote on it have killed it.

They have turned it into a teeny bopper who looks best, popularity contest

Shame really

[_Seth]

BB4
BB8

Its own success killed it. It failed to live up to itself. It had a shelf life.

Phil Edgar-Jones was appointed Endemol UK’s Head of Entertainment and Features in 2003 before being made Creative Director of Brighter Pictures in January 2006. Since working for Endemol Phil has overseen the production of some of the UK’s largest entertainment programmes, including Big Brother (Channel 4 and E4); Celebrity Big Brother (Channel 4 and E4) and Celebrity Scissorhands (BBC Three). As series producer on the eviction shows of the second series of Big Brother and executive producer on Big Brother’s Little Brother, Phil helped to establish these shows alongside the successful Channel 4 series.

Apart from the success of BB5, it's all been downhill for BB since then to its' present dumbest of dumbed down state .....

The race row and the dawn of the PC era. Davina. Nikki going back in. Tabloid coverage. Jade Goody's fame. Heat magazine. "Fans" who vote out entertaining housemates. Live feed being axed. The credit crunch. The entire BB10 series. George Lamb. I could go on...

[Jack_]

- Race Row [mainly the complete overreaction from the media and viewers]
- BB8 being timid as a result
- So-called idiotic 'fans' constantly voting out big characters/entertaining housemates due to them voting with hatred, rather than with logic
- Vote to Evict [would've stopped those delusional people ruining the show]
- The so-called idiotic fans then voting for the dullest of dull to win the show [Rachel Rice, Cameron etc]
- The producers picking these dull housemates in the first place

...and just when you thought they couldn't kill it anymore, the producers decide to stage a Quadruple Eviction with a Vote to Evict.

Nail. Hits. Coffin.

[Omah]

Phil Edgar-Jones was the man who selected Jade Goody to appear on 2002's Big Brother - the rest is history, and littered with his mistakes .....

What was the voting scandal? I don't remember it.
