People just generally getting bored of the concept, and the Jade thing was the final nail in the coffin of it getting mainstream appeal
Shame, cause I really liked Hijack |

It's an unpopular opinion and RIP and all that, but I believe it was Jade.

Jade
Channel 5, since there's clearly less viewers compared to C4 |

The gross exaggeration and moral panic of the 'race row' (that was actually class based bullying, not race) created by the media and commented on unnecessarily by politicians. Sadly it could have been prevented had Big Brother done the right thing and stepped in earlier.

I would have loved another Hijack series, every episode was just fresh with a new famous face coming in each day and making them do tasks rather then the housemates sitting around doing nothing, probably wouldn't be a bad idea to think about doing another hijack next year

After Jade, Ofcom drove the show into the ground by ensuring it had to be toned down and I think C4 just gave up. I'd also put a lot of the blame on so-called 'fans' who also saw fit to consistently complain about irrelevant issues which supposedly 'offended' them.
And also...vote to evict and moronic voting patterns that destroyed series after series early definitely played a small part too. |

I don't get the love for hijack on here. It was SO boring, more or less a C4 version of BB12

January - CBB Summer - BB Autumn - Hijack (you'd have to move it 6 weeks or so later I reckon cause otherwise you'd have two bunches of civilian housemates one after the other) |

the celebrities were all actually pretty well known and talented as well.. i suppose nowadays they'd probably just put half the cast of towie/MIC in to be the Hijackers

His blood is bad.

It's just been on for a long time. After 14 years it's not surprising that people have moved on to other things

Jade didn't affect how good BB9 was but the rest of the options all made BB as classy as it is to this day... if I still call it Big Brother? I loved hijack

i dont think its ruined but it became a joke amongst most people cause of the live feed of watching people sleep , it became a joke when people turned in to see people sleeping all the time.
and the endless amount of freaks. i was hoping they were returning to normal people but alas we got more models twins and freaks

The wild overreaction to two women fighting, and Britain's bizarre love of censorship in general. Bad casting as well.

Namaste

For me, the revamp that C5 did to it lessened my enjoyment. Didn't ruin it exactly, otherwise I wouldn't watch altogether, but I don't particularly like elements such as music accompanying the housemates arriving, Marcus being overused and over-the-top, montages, etc. I also want the nostalgic look back at the series during the finale to return, C5's take on those have been crap.
