Poor Craig. He does it well. Either that or he ought to be up for an Oscar. Like so much of Ch4 this year, I'm left with the impression that Ch4 are having a laugh at our expense. How else does one explain this years debacle? Talk about going for the ratings in the short term.

My main fear is that once bitten twice shy, going by the current reaction of the various forum boards. I, for one, won't be spending so much emotional energy on BB again. Or hardware for that matter.

Yes, my systems are all rigged to make the most out of this years programmes. And yes they are still switched on. BUT and this is the point, I'm not watching it!

I paid for the live streaming, which I still can't make work reliably, but I won't bother again!

I have rarely paid for any voting, text alerts or merchandising. Or for any other of the catch-penny ideas they have wheeled out this year. And why? Because it no longer run for the fun of it. Its Big Business, which is fine in isolation, but I'm simply NOT enjoying being made fun OF.
