I think BB should be pulled full stop.

The recent episodes have really highlighted the general problem with BB. The casting has for some time now included a share of troubled characters who quite frankly aren't up to dealing with high pressure environments. It can't be right to create and broadcast a scenario whereby people with serious personal problems are pitted against each in tasks specifically designed to expose these problems. I'm thinking about the food and alcohol issues with Megan. BB casting seriously got the Megan appointment wrong. I think they deliberately create these scenarios without any serious thought for any potential effect this may have on the viewer or the contestants themselves. Some posters are saying its all a bit of fun and shouldn't be taken so seriously but it didn't look like fun when Tiffany was refusing to apologize to Angie and calling her an old bitch. It didn't look like fun with Megan last night. Darren looks like a rabbit caught in Johns headlights. He looks very confused and seems to be putting himself in harms way for a few quid. It is a sad day when such sickeningly contrived and harmful circumstances are deemed to be entertainment and we just lie down and accept this rubbish.

Can I suggest you switch off if you feel so strongly, these people know what they are letting themselves in for and are happy to take the cash, with all the crap that is going in the world worrying about z listers egos being deflated is a long way down the list of my priorities

I only joined this forum the other day following the Tiffany/Angie incident and do not intend to continue viewing. I'm not a regular fan of BB but yes I feel strongly about a few things and don't think some of the HM do appreciate what they are doing to themselves. I don't particularly like any of them but as a human being felt some sort of social conscience. There needs to be a responsibility to society in general but this show doesn't seem to care about that.

I am also complaining about the other crap in the world elsewhere.

If you think that, you shouldn't even be on this forum. This is a BB fansite (hence why it's called "THIS IS BIG BROTHER") and people who say that "BB should be stopped" aren't true fans.

This has been the best series ever, so no scrapping. I do think there should be a year inbetween them though.I usually dont even bother with CBB but this series has actually been amazing so far

I think so too. Then with the money theyt save they can have two BB's a year, or even three.

Why?

Just don't watch the summer version if you don't enjoy two shows a year.

i still maintain that there is nothing engaging about any of this series cast. Nothing to like about, get behind and support. There isn't an intelligent one amongst them which means "entertainment" has to revolve around contrived drama. I have watched very little of this series, so I have effectively scrapped it for this series. Others may enjoy it, and thats fine, but its just not for me.

Briancbbfan · 15-01-2016, 04:53 PM

No I don't think it's time to scrap it. I really enjoy it actually.

What I will say, is that recently it's become very 'American' styled. There's a huge reliance on 'VH1'/MTV styled reality TV. Between Tiffany & Farrah the last two series have been quite 'trashy'.

Personally, I don't mind that. I really enjoy reality TV shows and I know alot of other people hold this opinion also!

But the level of trashiness it's currently at is off putting for a lot of people which means ratings really are capped at 3m! It's become very drama focused which is focused on a younger demographic! I love the show though and would hate to see it go!
