Pisses me off when people say ''you don't know what theyre going to be like in the house''

err...theyre Jedward..I don't like them whatsoever..that's not going to change being locked up in a house for a few weeks, it'll probably multiply the dislike

[Vicky.]

I'm actually getting close. I dislike how biased the editing/tasks are.

But I never really liked the celeb versions in the first place. The only one I actually liked was the one where alex reid won. The rest I have always turned off halfway through.

Am also not watching BBOTS because thats biased, and unfunny.

[G1dds]

I have to say, although I haven't missed an episode I have found it really really hard watching jedward - they are just too much! I've found myself sky+ ing it & zooming through stuff with them being stupid in. I was hoping Paddy would bare knuckle them after the cinema thingy

It will be a massive sigh of relief when (or if) they eventually get evicted. God forbid if they win

[Zippy]

I remember me and Nathan totally predicting 2 months back that Jedwards presence would dictate the whole show and it would revolve around their childish antics.

It was dead on arrival really.

The reason CBB is ****e isn't because of Jedward though, the other HMs are brutal, the new image is brutal, I like Jedward but I still don't like the new show.

[Zippy]

What do you mean by brutal, Niamh?

Im not down with gangsta speak

lmao, hardly gangsta speak young man,

Brutal - crap, ****, rubbish

[Josy]

I'm still watching but I'm not as interested as I normally would be, Jedward are ruining it imo, I hated the first couple of episodes because of the editing, name tags etc but I hardly even notice all that now.

[CaudleHalbard]

I watch CBB but can only manage about half of BBBOTS.

[Joelle.]

I still watch it but I have missed a few episodes and it doesn't really bother me if I miss it. For some reason I actually enjoy watching BOTS more than the actual main show. My dedication to BB is not what it used to be.

It's an amazing series?

Only miserable little Channel 4 arse lickers who can't accept change have switched off.

I was waiting for you to turn up with your usual charming insight.

No, I don't even watch ch4. Laughable you actually believe people have some allegiance to a bloody TV channel! Nor do I care about change. Indeed, Ive said it needed more change to gain a new audience.

So yeah, just accept that some think its crap. You are probably its target audience.

It's the stupidest post I've read here in awhile. Paddy usually delivers the goods on that front. It's absurd to suggest that only Channel 4 arselickers don't like the show. Why are my unsurprised you think it's a 'sensible post'? It makes about as much sense as a trampoline made out of paracetamol.

[alexonthewall]

i'm really enjoying this series!
i just can't get used to marcus saying stuff like - 'jedward are being jedward Ż\_(ツ)_/Ż'

[Lee.]

Yeah, I've stopped watching, the main reason being Jedward.

[Glenn.]

I had the last three days to watch on my Planner and whenever the idiot twins were on I fast forwarded it.

[Jamesy]

I stopped watching about a week ago now.

I just don't like what Channel 5 have done with the show. It just doesn't feel like Big Brother. It it wasn't for TIBB being in my bookmarks I wouldn't even know Big Brother still exists. My interest is lost.

When the main show comes up I'll give it another go but as far as CBB goes, I couldn't care less with what happens on the show.

[CharlieO]

I used to be/am still addicted to the old big brother. I have the whole back catalogue and love it so much. This year I have no addiction/emotional connection to the show what so ever. It's so bad I don't even care about missing an episode and I don't have the will power to get through 2 episodes in a day where as I could spend a whole day watching the old BB and just need to see the next episode. It's truly saddening that I no longer care about BB on channel 5 but it's lost everything that I watched the show for. I missed an episode yesterday and I couldn't give a **** to be honest but I got angry when I was missing an episode from my downloaded cbb6. It's not even about channel 4 but it's how it's lost every single layer of truth or any intellectual dimension and everything that got me in love with it in the first place.

However I am watching out of habit and for something to talk about on here, if I weren't on tibb I would have given up on the second episode. I will probably continue to watch until Sunday which is when I start school and I'm just not going to have the time/the will to watch. If the series i just highlighghts I'd much rather watch my back catalogue of bbon my hard drive anyway as they are so much better. I may give it another chance next summer hoping they change something drastically. The fact anyone likes the show baffles me a little though because everything I loved about BB (which is what I thought everyone loved about BB) is no longer. It's definitely not something I would follow religiously anymore, just another poorly produced crappy entertainment and "reality" show.

That's the biggest load of BS I've read on here in ages, and that's saying something.

If you want to live in the past watching old and long forgotten series of BB then that's your choice, but as far as I'm concerned C5 have made a really good effort into preserving the Big Brother that we have come to know and love.

So what is do different about this series to any other CBB that you have seen previously on C4? It's the same house, the same theme music, the same Diary Room even the same voice over guy Marcus Bentley. The only thing that's different is the housemates, and when did C4 have such a great track record of picking good ones? Every single year they would dig out a load of has beens or wannabees, and every single year they would get criticized over it.

Ok it might not be a 'classic' series but those only come along on very rare occasions. This is C5's first effort, and considering the very short space of time they had to prepare for it, I can find very little to criticize about them.

Even 'Bit On The Side' is way better than 'Big Mouth' used to be with gutter mouth McCall saying the 'f' word at every available opportunity just because she thought it was funny when in fact it came across as exactly the opposite.

Stop living in the past and give this series a chance ffs, if it wasn't for C5 there would be no BB anyway. Even the 'Eviction Shows' are 'live' instead of being recorded like C4 used to do, simply because they were running scared that someone would come out with an unacceptable comment. C5 do not have such hang ups and that can only be for the good of the show.

I rest my case!!!

Your case may have been rest but it changes nothing. This was all my opinion so cant be 'BS' as it was from my point of view. I know all that stuff is the same and I really wanted to love this BB but it has lost something. A vibe and atmosphere of the show has been lost somewhere. I don't know exactly what caused this but I'm sure others would agree too that something that made the show addictive has gone and now its just plain unintelligent viewing. However it's not the same VoiceOver. It's the same man but he is now just a parody of what he once was. Plus saying give channel 5 is ridiculous as that is exactly what I've done. If I wasn't going to give them a chance I would have turned of halfway through launch night. The fact is that it's not the show I used to love and that's it. It is only similar by name and the name big brother has been abused by 5 anyway.

[Legend killer]

Tbh peeps Jedward are not to blame all the blame should be put on Dirty Des who has completly ****ed the show up

[King Gizzard]

It really should of had a year or two break before coming back


I don't see how normal BB is going to be any sort of success now, right after this one? People will be bored of it surely? and having the bit on the side show every night doesn't help..BB overload

[JohnnyBB]

i think the changes to the show are positive, its just lacking the va va voom, i cant pin point but somthings missing, probally the LF tbh. AlSo the seriousness of the show has been lost somwere hopefully when the normal series returns the show will start getting abit more serious hope there a big cash prize to play for..
