Default Will you say Goodbye BB?

I will. I've had it.
I'm finished with BB manipulating the show to favour a certain HM. I've had it with a voting public that crown a disgusting person as a winner. She proved in her interview she has learned nothing when she blamed others for making her 'kick off' and when she cruelly slagged off Matthew. No need to do either - she had won - she could learn a lot from Ashleigh who was gracious and dignified in her interviews.
That is the sort of person the voting BB public want as their winner, and I'll never watch another civilian series again. I couldn't, as the majority of the voters have spoken as to what sort of person they like - which is the opposite of my views and I can't see it getting any better so I'm not going to even give it a chance in the future. The moral decline is just too much.

To all the people who fought hard to overcome the nastiness and unpleasantness that Helen brought to the house - you did well, and I commend your efforts. Love you all!
Goodbye BB - and good riddance.

No, I'll tune in. But I won't stick with it if it's more of this next year. Really tests your patience these shoddy production choices.

If it's the same as this year next year then yes. Hopefully the new owners of C5 will see BB in a different light.

Right now? Yes, I feel like I probably won't bother with the next one. I feel like this win sets up a bad precedent and the production is very rapidly becoming a joke.

Come next summer though, I'll probably have written all of this off as a bad dream and be ready for another slog.

I don't get the point of stopping watching because someone I like went out or someone I didn't like won. Let's not act like that isn't the reason now

Surely we watch to be entertained, with whoever wins as merely a side issue?

It makes zero difference to our lives who actually wins. It is the journey from the start of the series to the end which is what keeps us viewing.

If you found the series yawnworthy, that's a different matter and possibly a reason to stop watching.

I still see it as a social experiment and not a pantomime - so I'm sickened by the British voting public's willingness to buy into the shoddiness and manipulation of the production.

No.

I think this year has been very interesting, all the outside influences etc how the housemates reacted to it all.
Not saying I want the same next year, but a good shake up makes for better viewing.

I won't be watching next year for a number of reasons...

1 - Finals Pass. I think that was an incredibly stupid idea, and it doesn't seem to fit well in to the whole BB system. I don't really like the idea of someone being immune for a week (or two), but for the whole series! It's just annoying in the extreme. Helen should have been voted out early on, and rightly so, but she knew she could say what she wanted and last to the end.

2 - The Changes. One of the things I used to like about BB was the way the HM could come in to the Diary Room and vent a little (or alot). Now whatever they say is played back to them at some point, just to make more arguments. There's enough talking behind each others backs without making it worse!

3 - Bringing Old Housemates in. As has been said, we voted them out for a reason, and once they're gone they should be gone forever. Seeing Steven was testament enough to that!

4 - The Housemates. As has also been said, most of them had some kind of media experience, beit as a model or something on TV. The ordinary Housemate has disappeared in favour of those who are over the top and generally self centred.

5 - Manipulation. The production team seemed to manipulate the situations that arose in the house (i.e. Chris and his fondness of Ashleigh). Some of it was rather distasteful.

BB14 was a stretch too far (although some of it I found quite funny), but BB15 is so much worse that I've decided to call it quits.

^^^^^

I do agree with a lot of the above. I just hope the producers take note.

I shall watch to see if they do.

If next years big brother is worse I will defiantly stop watching. I might as well rewatch Channel 4s big brother.

I think it's ridiculous you say that you won't be watching next year because of what happened this year. Sure, the production team messed it up, but there's been more than enough criticism for them to realise that they need to change things and step up their game

Thing is, it's not just this year. It's been getting slowly worse for a number of years. Last year I didn't like it much at all, apart from some of the games/challenges were quite funny. The 'freeze' game was hilarious, and some of the other things were done really well. But this year it took a step in the wrong direction. If this had been a blip I probably would have watched next year, but right at this minute I'm not interested at all.

I've watched BB and loved it since Series 1. Only 2 people have won that I was rooting for in all that time.
I've shouted at the TV all the other times when my fave didn't win, but it's not who wins or who doesn't - that has never bothered me. I've always seen what others seen in a winner even if they not my choice.
Not this year. Helen represents everything that is wrong with our society today and to reward her for that is just horrendous. I won't watch another series because I disagree strongly with the public's decision and if that is any indication of how they chose their winner in future then I can't waste 10 weeks watching something to see if they have regained their senses. I have a life. So for me it's goodbye. With regret.
