The whole magic of BB is being able to discuss it as it happens with friends and with others on forums.

That's the most extraordinary thing about the lack of live coverage to me. In the age of 24/7 social media sites like twitter, the live feed actually lended itself perfectly to that. Imagine what Fight Night from BB5 would have been like with twitter there. The Digital Spy forums crashed that night.

MB stop with the sarcasm!!

Sorry but Hughie, Georgina and Natalie > BB1

Ive watched every moment of BB and CBB and even Bots, (before it was taken over by gay central Rylan) and I am a mad fan of the show. Sadly this series has little or no resemblance to BB, its a scaled down CBB with deviants and weirdo that cant provide entertainment without showing body parts or using copious amounts of profanity.

Fingers crossed they bring back the classy contestants of the golden era like Kinga and Michelle Bass

Tbf, they were more than bodies. Kinga had the singing voice of an angel and Michelle Bass could do things with an aubergine you wouldn't believe.

He's talking crap....BB is still good ...and if we hadn't had the others we wouldn't now have Huey, Natalie, Ryan and Charlie....they're the bonus balls

this dick that wrote that article cannot see that if BB ran like BB1-6 now people would hate it and it would never get past BB1`

we can look back and love iot but the reality is that life has moved on apace and out viewing habits have massively changed


Its such a lazy article when he could have written something insightful

Nonsense. BB3, BB5 and BB6 and BB7 would do brilliantly today because the housemates were good and the format was easy to understand (apart from one or two twists) and it didn't insult the intelligence of the viewer to anything like the same degree it does today.`

And Big Brother has changed in completely the wrong ways, hence the reason it loses its audience year after year. It could have built on the format it had and instead it destroyed it and turned the show into something fewer and fewer people are watching. With good reason.

You didn't do any better.

BB1-6 wasn't the same though.

BB1-2
BB3
BB4
BB5-7
BB9-11
BB12-13
BB14-17

are the different "styles" of the show IMO.

They could definitely get away with a style of show like BB3, 5-7. They just need a great core cast.

I know BB8 wasn't great per se but it doesn't deserve to be wiped from history completely

Actually, on second thoughts, go ahead

What are the bets on Yaki da writing that article

[Maru]

I'm not sure if anyone else caught it, but the day before last night's episode, I tried to watch the stream on channel5's website and the "test picture" came up a few times with it going back and forth. They eventually gave up and the live stream never happened... lol

Then last night we had the same thing, except cutting in with adverts and it happened with everyone not just the live stream. So to be technical, it's two nights of technical/production fumbles.
