The past few days on the forum both CBB and BBOTS threads have had less than 10 people commenting in there. How sad is that and it must be bad for ch5 to look on here to get some idea of how their show is doing to then find no one is interested in their very expensive show enough to post a comment during it. I know die hard fans are online in here and to only see 7 or 8 people posting comments about the show as it plays live on tv is very sad and does not bear well for future shows at all. Ch5 are defo doing something wrong as the forum has shown recently. What do you guys think?

Just because people aren't commenting on a forum doesn't mean they aren't watching

[Waynoo]

This celeb version has been poor tbh but I loved the main version,one of the best ever imo. I just think the cast hasn't been good enough and also way too many "twists".

That is not my point. My point is WHY is this series of CBB not generating interest in here enough for people to comment as it plays live on tv. It's usually very active and lively but has dropped off these last few days to almost nothing. It's very strange to only have 7 or 8 commenting online out of the entire UK.

I'm watching just not commenting much

[reece(:]

Not really much to chat about and half of the forum have weirdly vanished from the civilian series.

I think that is a factor as well, worn out from BB14.

[Black Dagger]

Coming in straight from BB14 is definitely a factor, it was intense really, and nobody can be arsed.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Its usually one of the most talked about shows on Twitter daily.

TIBB means nothing.

[Pincho Paxton]

Twitter is crap though. You can't follow the conversations. It's like trying to chat to the passengers on a Virgin Train as it speeds past you.

Couldn't agree with you more about Twitter. Waste of time!

I haven't commented much on the Forum this time round and it's not because I haven't been watching. I think the main show was great because it was Vote to Evict and would have preferred this to Vote to Save in the CBB version.

[billy123]

Its because its CBB nobody cares who wins including the housemates.

Hmm - I think it's more likely that the producers are softer on the celebs than the main show contestants and won't subject them to VTE as they'd find out how unpopular they are.

[EatMyFlan]

BB14 was a classic, just CBB isn't that great.....

[mr rochester]

Apart from Lauren none of the HM's want to be there and this year it hasn't been fun watching people who clearly hate doing the show. They should prohibit the HM's in CBB from saying they want to leave...

Its nothing new its only CBB! nobody has ever given a damn about it there are a few 5-6 gritty souls on here trying to care who wins but at least a couple of those are just people still feeling the burn from losing to king sam and trying to feel better about it by pretending care about who wins.

CBB has never matttered to anyone its just a sideshow.
Some of the best bits of CBB have been celebs being saved from eviction when they wanted to go home but even that has been taken away now with the moronic vote to save that is even less relevant than it was when they experimented with it in the main series.

Even the very first CBB was won by somebody that hated the crap out of it and wanted to go home so much they escaped from the house and were gone hours before returning.

People need to chill out and enjoy it for the freakshow that CBB has always been nobody cares who wins they get paid regardless.

[thesheriff443]

im still watching, this series is at a much slower pace!
some people spend more time posting than watching the show.
I don't post for the sake of posting.

plus most post's are just stating the obvious and then another member will agree or disagree, so its pointless in most cases.

[jscoo47]

Being a new girl (OAP really) to this forum, I have really enjoyed the experience. I do watch the show and only post when I really feel strongly about issues.

[jackc1806]

I'm not as interested in this series, because it has come right after BB14 and a. I have college so I cba and I don't watch the LF now and 2. It isn't as good.

During BB I watched the main show, every bots all the clips online- for this CBB I just watch the main show and like 1 or 2 BOTS a week.

[jackc1806]

No one really bothered during CBB10 too

[alex_front2]

Bb was better than cbb.

Cbb followed too soon.should had 2 week gap

X factor has started

[sampvt]

Lots of fm,s have left here due to tge severity of punishments being dealt out by mods that have issues with posters that don't like their Favs and there seems to be a fair amount if cyber warriors getting away with worse just because they are avid posters or are gay or transgender. It's got to be we can't post a view for fear of being hammered or jumped on for a pc or phobic reason. Maybe if a bit of latitude was applied the posters would come back. To test my theory try posting a thread against Lauren and see what happens.

I think you make a great point. Well said.
