Big Brother 2 was, for me, one of the best things I have seen on TV for ages so I wasn't expecting BB3 to be anywhere near as good. This series hasn’t even matched those expectations.

It's pretty bad to be honest.

They have given them too much alcohol resulting in unwatchable and cringe-worthy television like Jade's argument about a verruca. The producers swing from one extreme to another. One minute they are dividing the house and making half of them live off basic rations, the next they all get £400 shopping budgets.

The choice of contestants was wrong at the start: too young, immature and too laddish an atmosphere.

Lynne's eviction set the tone for eviction nights: the booing of the housemates when they leave the house has made the eviction nights very uncomfortable viewing.

Although I have enjoyed a few of the episodes recently, partly because the numbers are fewer now, it's also for the wrong reasons like the arguments. This year's Big Brother, in many ways, has demonstrated the worst side of human nature. Even the negative postings about housemates here must outweigh the positive ones by 10 to 1. Because of this I actually think the series may be getting worse.

The contestants I think, this year, have been so aware of the things they need to do, or not do, to make them popular or get them publicity and for this reason, unfortunately, I can't see Big Brother 4 being any better.

This year's Survivor, I think was better than BB3 has been. The group of characters was generally more likeable and a better representation of the British public.
