Enjoyed that!


Shame about the dullards who dissed the article/BB fans below in their comments section. THESE are the people who need to get a life, because they feel the need to make such ignorant comments about the type of people who watch BB. People from all walks of life have watched BB over the years....there is NO ONE TYPE OF BB FAN

Sorry just make my blood boil...

Erm ... Channel 4 do? And if it rates rubbish then they'll axe it because it wont make them money.

And these people call themselves journalists. Doesn't matter whos discussing it, how many, how frequently etc. If it doesn't bring in the money then theres no point in continuing

He was spot on... Channel 4 have delibratly stripped the identity of the show cos it wanted to get rid of it.The loss of 24hr feed has had a great effect on the show.
Come on some one SNAP IT UP!!

I'm afraid that you quoted the words but missed the point. Even though the ratings have dropped for the show, the ratings are still very good for a channel 4 program. And, as mentioned in the article immediately after your quote, if channel 4 was so obsessed with ratings, they wouldn't be offering many of the shows currently on the channel because they get little or no ratings (paraphrased, natch).
