I was a little sad to see Sissy go. She comes across as intelligent and down-to-earth.

The person that needs and deserves to go is Jon. If he does not go they will finish up with 4 boring lads in the final week.

There is one thing that is certain. After this years total disaster of a BB series there will be a major alteration to the format for next year. That is, If there is another BB next year.

Bananarama, I take it you are stating your own opinion on this and not something you have heard from someone "in the know".

Personally, I am thoroughly enjoying BB this year. I love the format just as it is, without those awful bars and I hope it continues in the same way for many years.

Personally, I think it's been much better this year!



The people are nicer, the tasks are more fun and my ear-drums are having a nice rest after the bombardment of BB3!


Give me boring anyday!!!!!

Sadly it is not just my oppinion most of my friends who have always loved BB are this year turned off by it.

good luck to you if you enjoy it this year. BB forums by there very nature have BB die hards who will defend the program as if there lives depended on it. Out in the real world however I find it to be a totaly different story......Sorry...Those are the facts of life.....

According to a programme on BBC Radio 4, the ratings for BB4 are 40% down on last year.

Maybe this will be the end of Big Brother as it seems the bubble has burst on Reality TV

If it takes a "bore like Jon " to interest people and have them say such nonesense things like Jon is a ledgend or a comic genious then indeed the BB bubble has burst.

I agree with bananarama, it's just not rocking my boat like all the other's. I'm the same this year as people last year. I'm not watching it as much as I should be, when I do I get bored stiff and have to turn it off, god forbid I have to turn the news on for some excitment. I think the housemate's are nice that's the problem, there ordinary, there's are no big special personalities in there. There's no one to really love or hate, I know this is just my opinion, maybe it's the reduction in the age groups, watching lads having pretend sword fights at my age is well.
I'll still watch now and then hoping against hope that something comes along that is worth a comment.

Apparently Jon just stared at the bathroom floor today for 40 min's, it's a shame but were's the entertainment value in that.

I believe the voting figures are well down this year. What bugs me is the influence that BB fanatics with more money than sense have on the voting results.

I have read of people spending Ł30 a time on multiple voting to keep Jon in.

I think if people had voted sensibly that justine would still be there and with boring Jon out there would be hope for the remaining housemates to escape the "boring and frustrating" atmosphere he creates.

I really think some are foolish enough to believe that the Jon factor will cause this group to kick off in some way like in BB3. I very much doubt that will ever happen.

I like the "Jon factor" because he does appear to be totally himself and not trying to hide any aspect of hs personality, unlike some of the other housemates.

This year I think I am watching more for the structure of BB than the people in there. I love the brilliant tasks, the nominations back to being good reasons again, the gentle rhythm of the week etc.

There was a thread on here before BB4 started saying that the producers were choosing people who weren't directly in yer face, and would grow on us instead. This is exactly what we've got and .....

that's the way, ah-ha ah-ha, I like it!!!

It was a shame Anouska was up for eviction in week 1. She was definitely up for a bit of fun and it really annoyed me again to see people say 'vote Anouska out because she's annoying', when the whole point of the show, as I understood it was to keep people like that in as long as possible!

I wasn't a big fan of Jon to begin with, but recently he has annoyed the other housemates, and that could make things interesting and cause a few arguements. And that's why I want him to stay in.

On a whole I am inclined to agree with some of the comments made in regards to the choice of housemates for the this series. They are far too 'normal' and inoffensive. And the ones that could have provided 'serious' entertainment have been evicted.
