BBBM and BBLB gutter TV which is for imbeciles

bias and manipulation from BB

BB are now too soft and too PC

the tasks should be challenging, not pi** easy

same thing year after year

[_Seth]

BBLB shouldn't exist, but BBBM should.

[Jack_]

Few more to add to the list:

- Big Brother becoming overly politically correct [no alcohol, intervening during arguments]
- Silly gimmicks, especially this year [Jedward, stupid graphics/music etc]
- Dermot leaving BBLB

Interesting opinions, I think.

For me, partly it was the housemates that were selected.

For about three years running it seemed that only Gay, transexual or people "claiming" to be bisexual need apply.

I don't have anything against people in those demographics, but I thought the idea was that the mix of housemates should represent society in general - and for some time it didn't.

Then in a couple of the series is seemed only screechy bleached blonde under 21 year old girls need apply.

The big thing that really showed me they'd lost the plot in production though was the Charlie Uchea scenario where they seemed to change the rules and make her immune from eviction for about three weeks running.

I've still watched every series though.

Every series has had good and bad bits.

Main Reasons:

- Biased editing and Big Brother manipulation causing the show itself to be more fake than the housemates whom are accused. Also including the focus on showmances way too much.

- Big characters evicted first whilst floaters remain in 'til the end = major disappointing finales + winners.

- Show becoming a sausage fest every series as the majority of the voters are women who vote out the other women - loses variety within the show.

- Poor choices of housemates, often picked by the producers espicially to make a romance or for rivalery. Need a more natural selection and let things happen by themselves rather than constructing it.

Also as many people have said, the race row and the fact the show has ran its course, needs a major revamping in the format (save + replace worked well and was new this series).

HASN'T IT JUST RUN IT'S COURSE? Too many housemates appear too knowing, history repeating itself, and there are many other Z-listers vying for our attention now on BGT and X Factor etc etc.

Theyve run out of the ideas, and every year its always the same kind of people and the same kind of stuff.

BB got a reputation for being about showcasing egos.

...possibly

Spot on
The producers started to take the piss after that - All female launch nights, putting evicted HM's back in etc - Then came the race row and so many people started to distance themselves from the show. The writing was on the wall from way back then
