Helen

[flamingGalah!]

This series has failed & the drop in viewers isn't to do with the World Cup/Wimbledon/Commonwealth Games, you only have to look on this & other forums & social media to see that many long term fans have switched off...

The reasons for this series being a flop include:

Filling the house with very unlikeable people

Filling the house with people found through agencies

Giving Helen the golden ticket on launch night

Constant manipulation

Hardly any normal nominations

Too many twists

I really hope they learn from this & if there is to be another civilian BB, that they go 'back to basics' & make it Big Brother again...

[Time to Sleigh]

I have enjoyed it. I like every remaining housemate now apart from Pav. When the power trip thing is done correctly then I like it. The negative thing about it is bb putting twists in place to suit themselves. I still don't believe that Ashleigh will stay immune

[LukeB]

to much unfair twist

[Denver]

There playing it very clever by having the world cup and the commonwealth games with the hot weather they knew the ratings would be down so my best guess is dont try as hard with this series wait till CBB when everything is finished

[andybigbro]

I don't think it's failed. It's still being talked about in magazines etc and with the new app, it's getting a lot of buzz on social media etc.

I think in terms of ratings, it's not fair to compare it to other years on channel 5 as this year we had the World Cup which hugely would have affected the ratings and now we have the commonwealth games. Both these sporting events are very popular. So it's not surprising the ratings have dropped.

The series is ok, it's not the best it is has no way failed.

This it's only failed in the fans point of view

[LukeB]

they should of made new idea's for power not just nominations

[nim136]

My personal reason 4 switching off was the likes of Helen and Ash being safe week after week. Yet brilliant HMs like Toya and Matthew evicted early on.
Although this happened in BB13 we still had leading protagonists in Deana and the insiders. There is no one really likeable in there. Ashleigh and Chris are probably the most tolearble but even they seem 2 b crawling up Helens arse now.

It's failed to a lot of Big Brother fans because even though it calls itself Big Brother, it's not Big Brother at all.

The housemates

The producers can mess up a lot as long as the housemates are good but this years the housemates have been incredibly uninspiring, to have two iconic housemates as we had last year was quite lucky I guess this times just didn't work doesn't mean they've done anything wrong so to speak. It's not about drama, if we ain't connecting with the housemates they can have sex and arguments 24/7 and we'd still not be interested

[BigSister]

I do think its because maybe they have tried to make it too serious and not showed the hmates having any fun or having a laugh and the tasks haven't been that good this year really. I do think the housemates haven't been as bad as people are saying but maybe next year they need to pick less not celebrities but on the cusp maybe of being celebrities

[Razor]

The main issue BB has these days is most of the housemates are wannabes and aren't what you would call normal. Models, people that have already been on tv or press, entertainers etc... BB really needs to get back to its roots and pick normal people with a broad age group. Do this and I think BB will attract more viewers.

i love them to go back to 13 weeks of big brother

Absolutely not that is wayyyyyyyyyy too long

[Christmas Dynasnow]

It has not failed unless someone can show me the ad revenue powerpoint. It will fail in the fans eyes due to live feed, that is a basic no brainer. I have enjoyed it, watching the 2 shows at night with tibbers is great fun and then discussing it the next day.

Im just glad its on, i think you get out of it what you stick in in many ways. Roll on CBB.

[LukeB]

they need to find normal people tbh

[Babschap]

I think it's failed simply because BB mucked around with the format too much. We don't watch to see HMs given free passes etc. (well I don't) also the whole power thing has misfired, look how Pauline abused it.

[ruiphillips]

Helen. And lack of Gina.
