Well there is.

I think the long term fans need to accept that it isn't going to ever go back to being like 2002-2006

Its over.

CBB is the only thing worth watching now

But if there is room for a new BB franchise in Canada to start in the last 4 years... with civilians... and be successful, then why can't a UK civilian series be successful again.

UK producers just need to start taking notes on what is working in other BB markets at their annual BB convention imo.

This considering the Civilian series is the main reason why the Celeb series pulls in so much of an audience in the first place.

No thanks.

It's already bad enough that they force us to swallow two series a year of CBB without axing the thing that made it happen just so we can get a few more weeks of CBB, especially considering how much they struggle for castings as well these days.

I'd rather just go back to one celeb series a year. No need to axe the main show. They just need to stop messing about trying to out twist each series. Go back to the fundamentals that make the show what it was. Simple really.

Or they could just make it good again by having entertaining housemates, not relying on shįt tasks for dramz, and not meddling with nominations every single week.

NOT meddling in nominations and NOT having twists will not fix it.

It will send it back to the dark ages and literally only the hardcore fans would watch. It would lose a lot of viewers

Welp who said anything about going back to the dark ages

I don't mind nominations meddling and twists but when it's every single week and quite clearly rigged it just puts off viewers as we have seen due to the 1million watching now compared to 6million watching in the past.

Plus if they actually picked good housemates they wouldn't have to rely on twists every week to get entertainment

Why? You stated you want to see the back of it, so don't watch.

Just because you want to see the back of it doesn't mean it should be scrapped, should we all miss out just because you've had enough?
