I know a hell of a lot of people who turned BB off all together after sitting through a summer of that ****.

At the end of the day BB10s ratings proved that BB9 was **** because 1 million viewers didn't come back.

I loved BB9 and I've been watching since 2002

And actually more people watched the BB10 launch than the BB9 final, so something went wrong at the start of BB10.

Ratings have been dropping since BB7 and CBB5 so something went wrong there.
After the huge controversy in CBB5, the producers wanted to calm down the vibe, hence BB8 being a bit quieter, but not the less entertaining. But it didn't work quite well.

BB8 and 9 were still quite popular though, obviously not as popular as the first 7 but still had respectable audiences. They used to win their slot a lot. If BB10 had stayed about the same, the plug might not have been pulled

CBB5 was the beginning of the demise of Big Brother as a whole. The whole racism controversy effected future housemate selection and how Big Brother handled the rules. The all-female twist at beginning of BB8 was a complete disaster for example and future series since have generally not been much better.
