I don't know, I've got channel 4 on for some comedy awards thing, and I just started randomly thinking about how BB was on 4, especially the launch night. Davina's opening lines, an amazing house tour, housemates leaving from cars, not some eye... I just really miss BB on 4 lol, just mad looking at how much it's changed and how it doesn't feel like 'event' tv anymore I guess

BB will unfortunately never be the same, BB1-7 were perfect and as an avid fan from the beginning I've seen it just deteriorate (with a nice surprise in BB9).

I agree, I think back to when BB was being discussed everywhere, especially BB7 where people like Nikki, Pete and Grace were plastered on the papers and everyone was talkin about it I do miss how big it used to be but at the same time it's sill capable of producing good series with good housemates (BB13, BB14) so I suppose that's all that matters

[Jake.]

It's not that the series haven't been good, BB13/14 were great imo, but they no longer feel like event television, which is a shame considering what a huge show it used to be. I'd honestly love for the tackyness to get rid but it isn't happening lol

I've always personally preferred BB10 to BB9 but I know exactly what you mean

Pull yourself together man

I'm having a very emotional evening here Matt, show some empathy for the love of God

[Ammi]

..it's just not the same when we don't see them in 'normal' situations anymore..just chatting together about this and that/trying to cook etc...in the highlights/vid clips, all we see is the arguments/controversy and I think you need a balance to that to make it what it was...

I agree Ammi, interacting without silly side tasks and being forced into things by BB is something I miss most

[Jake.]

Sounds stupid, I even miss the adverts before the show where it showed an argument or something happening lol

[Ammi]

..I'm filling up here, Jake....

[Jake.]

Likewise, God I miss it

Yeah but I grew up with the show from the early stages and I loved the novelty of it for the first few seasons. My obsession of the show kept my interests at a high for 6-9 but I knew deep down it wasn't the same

[Natalie.]

I agree

[Jake.]

I think the problem is that as the show grew bigger, so did the personalities, so producers were always trying to 'out-do' the year before, if that makes sense?

The editing and twists suck so bad now, it is pretty much a different show nowadays (and not for the better). However BB13 does hold a special place in my heart, even if overplayed Top 40 tunes dominated the highlights shows.

Couldn't agree more, BB13 being shown in, say, 2006 or something would have been amazing

[Gstar]

thanks for reminding me about the comedy awards

but yeah, big brother could have been bigger than it was; channel 5 ruined the show, I know BB13/14 had good housemates but the editing, tasks, eviction crowd and outside influence is a joke and I have never got used to it and I never will.
