Producers said themselves they totally misjudged BB4 and the show was in jeopardy from then on. BB5 6 and 7 got on average slightly around same viewers as BB4 but with arguable superior casts so it was clear the show was in decline from then on out, from BB8 onwards it nosedived badly.

No it isnt, its cause the ones who make the show watchable and interesting are all gone, no better example exists than BB1 itself, which made headlines with Nick Bateman, then he went and the last weeks were like watching paint dry.

In almost every series (last year was a notable exception) the biggest characters are all gone 3 or 4 weeks before the end and it just grinds to a halt.

And the eviction night is just 1 show why sacrifice the best characters to watch just for 1 night and leave yourself with boring ****s to watch
