Default BB/CBB has lost its balance

BB has become just another place for wannabees from that genre of reality programs like TOWIE, MIC, Geordie Shore, to bore the hell out of me. Their behaviour is soooo predicable, same old same old - time for a snog, oh, time for a row now.

It is only the likes of Aubrey O'Day and Christopher Biggins that keep me watching BB, and I don't watch live anymore, only on catch up so I can fast forward through the juvenile truth or dare games and so on.

I don't watch BBBOTS at all anymore because the guests were inevitably from that same stable or the turn up for a tenner Katonas.

I'm bored with the tasks being entirely on "lets cause division, rows and paranoia". The whole focus has shifted away from the balanced entertainment it used to be. It is just one shade now, all doom and gloom grey. I miss the sunshine of the tasks that had tears rolling down my face from laughter.

I used to love BB, but, looking at the episodes I've missed this year, think this may well be my last year watching it. Sad

Love Island, Ex on the Beach, TOWIE, Geordie Shore and Made in Chelsea all need culling.

Aubrey O'Day spat into a sandwich and into a cup of coffee. She then spat again in Bear's mouth.

Biggins was kicked off the show for vile comments.

So these people are the good ones???

I didn't say there were the good ones, I said I prefer watching them.
I'm not going to get into a discussion as to why in this post, my post is about why, in my opinion, BB is losing viewers at a serious rate of knots in the hope someone at C5 will wise up.

I just assumed you liked watching the 'others' because they are 'better, more worthy people', than the reality star lot.

And yet Aubrey is a reality star and Biggins is - or was - in a way, because the last time he acted in anything other than pantomime was Gawd knows what.

And I'm just saying Aubrey and Biggins are no angels.

You prefer to watch spitting and controversial comments to bare tits and high jinks then?

the reason why big brother can't get more top level celebs from the B C D lists is because it could end there careers, its like you make a joke or have a talk with a high opinion then you are ejected and face a police probe, having people from other shows like towie,mic,geordie shore, ex on the beach, do not fit on the show, and I can't believe the amount of money that big brother paid for these guys who are from these shows, these guys think that the way they act on there shows is justifiable on bigbrother, and bear threating to smash up the room is justifiable in his mind, and they are giving him lots money, there not the sort of role models you want in life.

take out aubrey and biggins and i agree with evey part of this.

i found only 2 people to like in the civilian bb this year, and none of the others changed my initial impressions for the better. with this celeb one, i still like ricky though feel he should have spoken out, and james whom i've no idea if he has since we've not been shown much of him.

biggins has only slid further into the abyss and the people i didn't know and didn't think much of on their entries are just as bad f not worse now i've watched them.

i want a mix of ages and cultures and ideas - i want interesting people, creating interesting situations where they have to learn to live together without anarchy. i want to hear about backgrounds and aspirations, the swapping of opinions, kindness, fun, imaginative, twisty tasks... i guess i want to see the best, not the worst, of people. this year has been so disappointing on so many levels.

Yes the more it progresses the more you realise you are being fed 'slop'

I love BB but have to agree with this. I'm getting totally fed up of seeing these sort of people on BB and ruining a great show with their trashy ways.

This CBB is clearly not doing it any favour.
The TOWIE bunch is just disgusting and unwatchable.
