I think because Ch4 is more popular than Ch5 it will never feel on top game even though I think both CBB series have been outstanding, especially CBB9.

That's true kizzy.
C5 seem to be furthering the route of putting in housemates who've been recommended from agencies and "talent" scouts. Most likely getting paid too. |

Also well never have a cast like bb5. Not because of the actual people but back in the day they showed us everything about everyone, negative and positive. Now they spoon feed us showing us only one dimensions of characters -.-

To be fair to Ch5 I was only ever a casual watcher before the last CBB with Jedward, Kerry etc.
I was absolutely fascinated with Lucien's journey throughout the series. First being completely overwhelmed by his feelings for Amy Childs. Then chilling out and flirting with all the other girls and eventually getting her nicely warmed up but not quite getting there in the end! Oooh and Jedward being asked about girls! AWKWARD!! Had some great laughs with their first full series (BB12?) With Aaron, Mark, Faye, Wolfpack etc. Mark was just adorable and was my early pick for winner. Aaron's romantic journey with all those pitstops on the way to his great flirting and rollercoaster relationship with Faye was great (far more entertaining than the Jay-Louise one for me) First time I ever watched all the daily shows. I quite frankly found the live feeds terribly boring esp when they piped in the birdsong over anything controversial. That would drive me nuts! Or watching people sleep at 3am in the moring. No thank you! |

I feel that Channel 4 gave up on the format from CBB5/BB* onwards. The adverts previewing the new series of the show were not as epic as the Big Brother Gets Evil theme of 2004 and The Golden Ticket/Twisted theme of 2006.
I remember in particular the advert were Marcus says "10 week summer holiday, not this time". Channel 4 seemed to make every effort to make Big Brother 5 a success and I feel it was the best series of the show to date. From 2007 onwards we just had previews of the house with 3D animation which gave no indication of what the underlying theme of each series would be. The 2009 one for example with the cries and screams and the futuristic fingerprint eye did not feature the house at all. Channel 5 have breathed new life in the show and I feel it has a long-term future. CBB9 was the best series of the show for some time and got media attention something that previous series of Channel 4 hadn't. |

its ever becoming a 3 ringed circus with 'normal' contestants seen as boring... we demand bigger and better freaks...if your not going to sh@g, throw up, cry, flash, scream or make it evident you have some kind of personality disorder dont bother applying!
And if there ever was a channel to find these people C5 is it, i wouldn't be surprised if BB12 had jars of prozac in every room a minibar at the side of each bed and lube on tap. |

Last year was absolutely awful. And they have The Star's attention as Desmond owns that as well. CH5 have gone cheap in every respect, they have hardly changed anything in this CBB compared to the last one for example.

That's the understatement of the year.

I don't think it ever died because it's still on our tv, it's just changing and moving with the times. Everything changes eventually.

Every Channel has a "tone." C4's is a much more sober, less edited documentary style. Channel 5 want flash and glam. As much as I hate it, it's not going to change. And any ratings drops for the main series will be blamed on the show as a whole and not the changes.
All I want is a live feed. Not to watch so much, but just so I know nothing doggy is going on which was rife last year. Everything from random pens to "ipods" were never explained. Personally I like the tone during the "evil" era which was a hybrid of the current and original. It was half social experiment and half wannabes. Now they have gone too far the other way straight to OK magazine style trash. It's a shame but like I said it won't change. Overdramatic editing style and lense flairs are all over every other realy show out there. BB is just following suit. Which I guess is a shame as the trend setter has now become the follower. But if it keeps the show on the air then let's see what the summer brings. Last edited by Valdora; 09-02-2012 at 01:51 AM. |

Ugh, I hope not. It's what they do on the US show which is why I traded in that for this one.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it did for me. It's become another scripted reality TV show. And the farewell show about it sort of wrapped it up nicely, IMO, it was like digging up a corpse.

I agree with kizzy. It will never, ever happen on C5 but it would do wonders for the program if they really stripped it back to the social experiment it started off as all those years ago. Its gone from what was not only an interesting but frequently entertaining concept to what it is now. I watched an episode of CBB where they had somebody drinking cows piss for ****s sake. Stop aiming for the lowest common denominator and maybe we'll get somewhere.

What have people got against BB11? It was one of the best series! BB died with BB12, live feed for BB13 will resurrect it
