Hi,

I remember on here last July (2011) when Channel 5 confirmed that the live coverage from BB had been axed there was massive uproar with people saying "boycott the show" and "unlike and unfollow the fb and twitter sites". However now only like 6 months later to hear such hypocrisy from posters on here and ThisIsBigBrother.com is sickening.

I can't believe that the "fans" of this era are so deluded that they can even say that ANY Channel 5 series is better than any of Channel 4's.

Channel 4 never resorted to cheap gimmicks (name-tags grrr!!! Ch5 this is NOT TOWIE or Scousewives, music in highlights and having Marcus sound like he is on ecstacy all the time) so how can the old fans like me put up with what is being shown right now.

To me this is most definately NOT Big Brother anymore to the extent that Channel 5 shouldn't be allowed to call it BB it should and needs to be renamed ASAP.

I used to LOVE and NEVER missed an episode of Big Brother on Channel 4 and used to book holidays around every series but now all my holidays this year are booked and if I miss the launch and part of a series then I don't care because really I'm not missing much as Channel 5 have knocked every bit of the enjoyment of Big Brother out of me.

RIP the REAL Big Brother (14 July 2000 - 10 September 2010)

Totally Agree 100% with EVERY word said there.

^^What he said.

[Samuel.]

Let it go.

[bbfan1991]

I am so bored of the live feed moaning now. I got over the fact it is never coming back and in a weird way most of us have more RL time instead of being glued to the LF!

[SharkAttack]

[Me. I Am Salman]

they had some effects and marcus was bit OTT in bb11 too
and bb10 was flaming **** anyway
so truly, bb9 was the last old school series.
i still love bb however, i just wish it was like before though

[Ramsay]

Last year was the best one in years even with all the 'music,name tags and edits' so im not complaining

[MTVN]

So BB11 wasn't gimmicky when the two JJ's left the house to take part in a pantomime horse race? That was "REAL Big Brother" right?

[Lostie!]

It's a peice of **** post, which just bitches about those who still enjoy BB. Clearly unaware that we're all allowed opinions. I said that there and I'll say it here.

Or when Lisa and David dressed up and went around in a bus on BB10

[Vicky.]

I honestly dont think BB is much different on c5...was very gimmicky in bb10/11 really

And the last normal series was way better than a lot of c4s series'. If that makes me deluded then so be it

[Black Dagger]

Do these name-tags and music montages really offend people THAT MUCH?

Bar live-feed and hiring Emma, Jamie and Brian, C5 haven't pissed me off yet.

[Crimson Dynamo]

c5 is doing a great job. it really is as simple as that.

[Ramsay]

People will always look back on things from the past and think its better than things these days even if its not

which is why i think bb9 was the last brilliant series.

[Stu]

I agree with most of the complaints whilst also being simultaneously sick of the complaining.

Some people just can't bring themselves to ever love it like they used to because the stripped down production was so beautiful about it [right up until BB10. Yes the tasks were still often gimmicky but it was just this thing that came on that had a narrator and people in some oddly futuristic Channel 4 house. That was it.]

I totally identify with that. I still enjoy the current stuff just not in the same way. Now it's just a light entertainment show I throw on when I'm not doing anything else.

Absolutely agree with you.

[dyfed]

I have a big problem with BOTS,just can't watch it,a load of xxxxx.I forced myself to watch the night Aaron was on,what a mistake,.......except for Aaron.

[Mystic Mock]

I agree with everything that poster said.

How can any BB fan enjoy something that is pretending to be BB? the music is annoying because its not even music being played into the house,its just some **** record that they play while they are doing tasks or whatever and it doesnt suit Big Brother imo,it is not TOWIE so stop trying to make it into one C5?

[Doogle]

Meh, I started watching when it was gimmicky. It only annoyed me in CBB8/BB12 cos I joined here and realised the older ones didn't have that. Beforehand I was oblivious to the pre-editing days.

[Mystic Mock]

Fair enough Doogle but if you watched the C4 ones and I mean any of them,you would realise how bad these C5 ones are.

[Doogle]

I've seen BB3 and 11. Very different series' and eras I guess (2002 & 2010) but I still like these ones. The editing just annoys me when it shouldn't.

[Roy Mars III]

The editing and music can be bad, but most of the time I don't mind it. And sometimes it can be brilliant, like the Andrew montage last night

Fair enough then,but I dont like how the best reality tv series is going,it doesnt feel like BB for me anymore.
