Default Biggest BB producer mistakes?

What do you think are the biggest mistakes made by the producers of BB? (Can be UK or whatever other format you want)

Mine: (all from BBUK)

1. Allowing a housemate to be voted back in in BB7. I loved Nikki and loved the twist obviously, but Nikki's return resulted in the ultimate downfall of BB from 2007 onwards.

2. Getting Jade back in the house, again I love Jade, but it caused the racism scandal which again led to the ultimate downfall of BB from 2007 onwards.

3. All female cast on launch in BB8 - I personally loved it but AGAIN it resulted in the downfall of BB from 2007 onwards.

4. Vote to Evict in the quadruple eviction in BB11 instead of Vote to Save/Vote to Win. Robbed the final civilian series on Channel 4 of having an amazing final with Josie, Corin, John James and Sam all having large fanbases which would make it completely unpredictable.

5. The Newbie Eviction in BB15 - robbed BB15 of Biannca - who was a major source of entertainment and would have brightened up the bleak and dark second half of BB15 - even if she'd only survived until the following Friday.

6. The swapping of noms for 4in4out in BB16 - the producers swapped the nominations in order to save Jade (who had seemingly promised to provide drama in the DR with a rant one night) and Eileen - both who turned out to be quite dull in their time in the house (besides brief moments from both). We were then robbed of Harriet, Amy and Sally and Sarah who all (in my opinion) would have given a lot more to the series.

What are the biggest BB producer mistakes in your opinion?

BB7 having the whole house up was awful when Jayne broke the rules, as if it wasn't for that Nikki might have made it to the final without the twist.

Also having Susie nominate when she knew Grace was hated, it meant we lost the series villain far too early and the show wasn't as good without her.

4in4out literally killed BB16 which was looking to become a great series so

1.Giving some housemates more airtime than others, because we don't have live feed we don't get to see what other housemates are really like so they get branded boring because people like Marc/Ashleigh/Helen etc are shoved down the viewers throats.

2.4in4out, should have been a double at least, Evicting 4 was too much.

3.Final Pass

4.Sam getting evicted even though she got saved by the public.

5.Ejecting just Emma and letting others get away with it.

Biannca would have ruined the second half of BB15 even further by gunning for Ashleigh and sucking up to Helen, and did you seriously just suggest that Harriet and Sarah should have stayed over Jade and Eileen? I think I need a lie down.

(also Harry and Sam > anyone evicted in 4in4out apart from maybe the twins so)

That was amazing and set the bitchy and argumentative tone for the series which I loved.

Yes - I did suggest it. Jade had ONE entertaining night (which was the night of 4in4out) and then faded into obscurity until her eviction. Eileen was nominated by Simon, caused him to fake cry and was then evicted. Her BOTS appearances were more entertaining than her entire time in the house - she is massively overrated and Harriet and Sarah would have been far more valued as housemates imo.

(I don't hate Jade - but literally spent so much time after 4in4out questioning where she was. She did nothing.)

Harriet's meltdowns and Sarah as a whole (she was shaping up to be the main focus of the series imo)>>>>Eileen.

Just because it hasn't been mentioned

Bringing in Aisleyne in BB16 after Brian walked was such a bad move we'd already had two weeks of time warp housemates and the other housemates deserved to have some air time as it was their series. Then we had another week of time warp basically with hotel from hell.

I agree she is overrated, but Eileen, Amy and Sally vs Jade was like the best storyline of BB16

I for one am glad they put up the ones who hadn't been nominated for #4in4out. Kieran would've coasted to the end and Sarah had nothing to offer other than her ****ty showmance with Danny (people act like she had loads of potential no she didn't lol)

Jade and Eileen brought loads to BB16 tbh and certainly more than Sarah and Harriet

I was fine with everyone who got evicted during 4 in 4 out, apart from the twins, Sarah had nothing to offer, Kieran was nice but dull and Harriet while I liked her, probably would have started to grate after a while so whatever.

Well obviously since they stayed longer. I'm just saying in hindsight I would have much preferred Harriet, Sarah and Amy and Sally stay over Jade and Eileen as both didn't turn out as promised. Sarah and Harriet had so much more to give.
