Let the viewers decide this one, we want to have a say not who BB/Endemol want to inflict upon us. Most of the winners have been awful, the so called big characters are always voted off as soon as they are up. Nadia, Brian Bellend, Cameron, were almost foisted upon us for a variety of reasons. Nadia (C4 going all PC) Brian Bellend (Stupidity is the name of the game and he played it well for obviously those who voted for him) Cameron (The Scottish nerd christian) Its because of the winners and the way BB/Endemol have manipulated every friggin series that the show is coming to an end. This years series could have been the best but they were at it again, were some of the HM's for real, the non nominations (that was pathetic) the blatant bias of editing. So many reasons why the show has ran its course, most notably the sheer incompetence of the makers and their total disregard for the viewer, or rather, their assumption that no matter what drivel they put out the public would remain hooked. Everything has a shelf life and if you abuse it the shelf life becomes shorter. Getting to 9-10 possibly 11 years is not to bad though. So I really hope they lose the shackles and let the HM's go for it this year and let us decide who we want to win.

No way - the house will be full of teeny boppers and those that behave like teeny boppers. No thanks.

Wouldn't it be good, they can't help themselves though. The same tired old format of picking the same type of HM will continue, the fame hungry airheads, the freaks, the actors (although not that good) and the same people who complain will spend their money voting for the imbeciles.

[decisivemoment]

Yep, what have they go to lose. Unless they are trying to sell the format to another Broadcaster in the UK, even then just make it controversial and everyone will remember it, that way its more saleable/marketable.

[decisivemoment]

Stop the manipulation of highlights, some were so blatantly edited it was a joke. Used to reckon that BB without Davina would be unthinkable but now, it may actually be for the best if she goes. It needs some fresh ideas, more energy and not some sad middle aged woman trying to do jokes from the autocue. Davina I'm afraid was an embarassment last series, and her disgraceful bias towards certain HM's and those ridiculous interviews were so sad to watch. Does her agent pick up all the dross from each series and make a fast buck out of them. Its just a joke what the show became and the justification from the production team in order to blag their way out of manipulating certain situations by insisting that the show is a social experiment is beyond absurd.

The chances of this being the best are negligible, we almost had the best with the last series but look what happened. Crap editing, no real live shows and some questionable HM's, some maybe too clued up and knowledgeable for it to be coincidence. Would Endemol stoop so low as to manipulate the viewers, ahem, well yes.

[jaymando]

Think we have seen from previous series that there are some HM's who kept their heads down and clearly did absolutely nothing and manage to stay under the radar, the result being that the big characters (sometimes just idiots, sometimes actually entertaining wre evicted early) so maybe a mix of HM nominations and viewer nominations could offer something different, seeing as its the last series. Forget about the messing with format, hasn't BB/Endemol done that enough times already, Lisa/David's day out etc. Agree about Davina, she was woeful last series and so biased towards certain evictee's. The viewing figures are down anyway just give the final series one large push, new presenter (let the old girl have a cameo, if needs be) no actors, no productions stooges, bring back Livefeeds, failure to nominate-means eviction. No partners of HM's, just so wrong. No pathetic anonymous comedians getting fee's for BBLB BBBM etc. Get a wide spectrum of the viewing public onto the BBLB,BBBM not just the usual rent a mob. Give the damn show back to the people who actually watch it.

It's really not that hard to make a good Big Brother. Just fill up all those Sophie & Kris type slots with Marcus & Siavash type characters instead. Drop the fame thing and fill the house full of angry working class nutters and general extroverts, who in fact are probably more likely to become famous for something outside the house anyway than a person deliberately looking for fame.

That about sums it up, why the hell are you not a producer with Channel4/Endemol. Its pretty evident to the audience yet the production staff are somewhere else. Lol they get paid for it too. ****ing joke sorry but it is.
