Default CBB21 may have saved CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER

Seeing the Celebrities all come out of the house this year and say what a wonderful and positive experience its been is such a refreshing change

What has probably happened is, it got such a bad reputation on the celeb circuit for being an unpleasant experience that Celebs stopped signing up for it.

Hence the massive reliance on GEORDIE BORE and TOWIE

Hopefully this series has shown that its possible to have a positive and friendly house and still be wildly entertaining, ensuring that a better calibre of CELEBS sign up in the future

Its the lowest because of the turn around in viewership

All the TOWIE watchers are jumping from the ship because 'real' reality TV isn't interesting enough for them

They're too invested in manufactured conflict and fake showmances

REAL Big brother isn't exciting enough

Meanwhile (thanks to positive word of mouth) the old viewers are slowly coming back.

Those of us who have watched for 18 years are becoming invested again.

People i know who haven't watched in 10 years tuned back in this year, the reviews from media and the likes have been extremely positive.

Those who did watch it have nothing but good to say about it

Slowly the fans will return

Just accept the fact that BB can't magically pull 5 mil. viewers per night ever again...

It certainly hasn't done anything to make me want to watch it again.

When long term viewers like me are turning off, it isn't doing it any favours.

I would like to send the lots of them, producers, presenters and whoever down the job centre because they deserve it.

Then start again with the original values.

I don't buy into manufacturing screaming and shouting. It stresses me out and is uncomfortable viewing. Im much happier when they're all getting on.

This was the perfect BB series for me.

I watched every episode, was fully invested and engaged.

Couldn't ask for me

OK this is tongue in cheek but bare with me.


A ban on all sexual matters would be good start.

No showmances, gender issues, nudity, language and innuendos or discussions about body parts.

Ha ha, that would stump quite a few of the reality TV people as they have nothing else left they could talk about.

If they want to go home kick them out of the door with no fee

Make breaking the rules count, take away privileges or reduce their fee, write this in their contract and more than twice kick them out.

Sack Rylan and Emma, bring a whole new presenting team in, who are not gender obsessed.

Have a different BBBOTS audience every night or just have a panel

There's a few to keep you going.

A ban on all sexual Matters? Thats taking away 1/3 of any human interaction. Flirting and banter is a massive part of life

Gender issues where only present this series because of the theme

Nudity is also a part of the human experience

Language is how humans communicate

Bad language should be a big deal in this day and age

NO ONE this series seriously threatened to leave. Everyone was up for the experience

Breaking the rules counts because they get privileges taken away from them. You can't always make every punishment harsh

Rylan and Emma are fine in the job. Noone would do it better

BBBOTS needs an overhaul ill give you that

Other than that everything you mentioned would make a series unwatchable

The producers have gone out of their way to make this a more engaging and enjoyable experience

Right back to the fundamentals of what made BB so special

I still think you don't know what you want

It was humorous, didn't you read the first line?

It wasn't meant to be serious, or analysed to death.

At least I read the whole of someone's post before going seriously off on a tangent like you and making assumptions miles off the mark.

Seriously pompous too, when you don't even read what you are commenting on.
