Default Bad decisions so far

Over the last few years the prods have taken a bit of a hammering and it seems this year is no exception.

1. The HM,s are allowed to lie in their VT,s and therefore hoodwink them just to get in which promotes a split house, wannabees 'V' radar dodgers.

2. Tasks are heavily biased towards what the prods need not what the public want to see.

3. Punishments are dealt out but are too lenient making the HM,s an out of control bunch with no fear of BB.

4. AJ and Rylan are not up to the BBOT,s experience and they stink of a low budget idea to save money.

5. The noms and voting scenario are being messed with by BB and its taking the decision away from the voting public.

6. Fun and frivolity with the odd fracas have been replaced with nastiness and the promotion of fame hungry wannabees.

7. BB constantly change things to suit themselves which flies in the face of what the vast majority of the GBP want.

IMO I think the end is nigh, not because the show is bad but because the producers are promoting a soap opera scenario as opposed to letting a reality program flow with its own momentum.

They have done this since BB2.

2. Tasks are heavily biased towards what the prods need not what the public want to see.

Again we have seen it all before, not just this series.

3. Punishments are dealt out but are too lenient making the HM,s an out of control bunch with no fear of BB.

They never feared BB. Remember people like Kitten, and that bloke that went over the wall.

4. AJ and Rylan are not up to the BBOT,s experience and they stink of a low budget idea to save money.

Rylan is quite good and I find myself tuning in now to amaze myself at how bad AJ is..

5. The noms and voting scenario are being messed with by BB and its taking the decision away from the voting public.

Again not the first time they have done this.

6. Fun and frivolity with the odd fracas have been replaced with nastiness and the promotion of fame hungry wannabees.


Um remember fight night???? that is what gets ratings, not Alex and Tom playing house.

7. BB constantly change things to suit themselves which flies in the face of what the vast majority of the GBP want.

That rule has always been in place. BB can change the rules at any time.


IMO I think the end is nigh, not because the show is bad but because the producers are promoting a soap opera scenario as opposed to letting a reality program flow with its own momentum.

Okay it's not what it used to be but it is what we have got. It is unlikely to go on forever.

Imo the big brother format is a format capable of lasting a very long time if carried out properly. The reason why is because big brother is original and like no other, but the producers have to faith in the format and are trying to edit it to be similar to other tv shows.

It survives all over the globe in its own format. The British version is the only one with really bad producer press.

Good Post.......... I agree especially with the sudden rule changes, bringing in twists is fine and can be quite exciting if done properly and within the ethos of the show.

However more and more we are seeing last minute contrived twists which clearly are done to achieve a desired outcome, one that the Producers desire for their own reasons. This is outside of the framework of rules that BB has adhered to for over 12 years. To make so many major changes and bring in twists that destroy the flow of the show makes in my opinion a mockery of Big Brother and means that the GBP have no control and DECIDE NOTHING...!!!!

BBUK is not long for this world. The producers are probably the worst ever seen on a reality TV show.

I firmly believe the show can be brilliant.
Its literally just the idiotic producers who intent on ruining it.
