There is no joy in saying 'told ya so' but plenty of people strongly encouraged BB to get shelved for a few years.
Even 2 seasons (call it 4 seasons if you include CBB).
Or look at it like this: IF this was the first time we saw BB on channel 5. This was the premiere of the 'Big Brother Reboot'?
I believe there would be much higher ratings and maybe more importantly - potential for ever-increasing ratings as it went along.
*tbh I think skipping another summer is better yet.
Now, here is the strange thing. 5 got it right this summer! They got the sweet science and put together a surprisingly great combination of HM! I see some good stuff in editing, BOTS, some really good directions,
yet,
I think they just continue to see the decline. They did not 'Reboot' so much as just milk it for whatever was left. They appealed to remaining C4 fans (good short-term payout) but had no genuine rest and reboot.
Its too bad really. This actually is a very worthwhile season and it still has loads of potential. Yet, it simply won't get the numbers.
