This series has been horrendous from the start. We knew the housemates identities a few days previous to it even beginning and the production has been abysmal.

The constant arguments are off putting and contrived. The producers were worried that they would have a Big Brother 4 on Channel 5 so decided to swap the housemates in an attempt to revive ratings and gain the casual viewers attention.

It has backfired badly. The ratings have increased slightly but I feel once Nikki and Brian have gone and Helen has, they will decrease. I cannot see a long term future for Big Brother. It should have been laid to rest on Channel 4.

I despise how Channel 5 add the inane sirens to the eviction, how they have to overplay the music on every launch night when housemates go down the stairs into the house, the Bit on The Side programme. I was reminiscing about the old BB7 when they had Big Mouth and BBLB. For me, that is the BB I want to remember.

That is what you worry about when your favourite show, like BB moves different channels. You wonder if it will get better or worse. Sadly, it has gotten decidedly worse.

For me, I would get:
1. As many of the Channel 4 production back as possible
2. Get Phil Edgar Jones, Shirley Jones and Sharon Powers. Even Ruth Wrigley who edited the first three series
3. Have auditions around the country
4. Reintroduce live feed
5. Have live tasks on a Saturday night.
