Default Why is BB letting this twist be so bad?

I hardly know where to start with this.

What a strange thing to do, it was so unplanned. It wasn't at all clear what was going on, they just wondered on in. We didn't even know where the real housemates were.

What on earth is BB playing at letting them tell them stuff about the outside world!!?! Especially so free and pointlessly. Why go to all the trouble of letting Charley be fake evicted and see a bit of the outside to ruin the entire concept shorly after.

I could be here for a long time if say all the reasons these people are crappy so I'm just going to say the REALLY don't deserve it. Although Amy and Kara Louise aren't as bad, they are good but they aren't outstanding.

Ill say it once and I will say it again , Rebecca De Young is in no position to executive produce the show. She seems to have no concept whatsoever of how to inject life back into it.

I agree it is a cobbled together twist that has actually twisted the viewers. But then that is the story of most of BB8 twists. Amateur and not well thought out....

I can't help but think there is a traitor in the production team that want BB to fail so it can be ditched forever.....

I have a feeling this twist is going to go horribly pear shaped on Monday......Friday will be a disaster for some BB supporters

I don't like this twist at all.. I'll be honest.. not keen on any of the new five! Is it just me or did the BB producers panic and then thought lets do something quick as Charley will be evicted this week!?

BB has been in a panic throughout the series. Losing the more interesting characters for one reason or another from the outset

What I don't like in this twist is the fact that when two new housemates go in two of the regular housemates join the remaing 3 and then have to win tasks to get back in the main house or face the public vote on Friday.

This could mean a failed task could cause the eviction of a favourite to win character.....Or indeed evict a character that is providing story lines. Even worse the twins could be seperated with Amanda going..

I'm not fond of this twist, as it's so un-original. They could of done something much better, the producers have the money, why don't they use it?! We could lose front runners here, and end up seeing the bores in the final. The halfway house is furnished awfully, like i said they have the money, they should at least have made the house a little more neater. IMO I think this twist is poor.

i think the producers have given up this year after celebrity bb, the money for the votes go to charity whoever's coming up with these twists needs sacking

And the task team needs a slapping too. Throwing up a stage and making them look silly is NOT the solution to everything.

BB8 is officially the second worst series ever. I thought nothing could get close to how bad BB4 was... until BB8.

The whole point of Big Brother is now over. They can contact the outside world and it's just a joke. It's bad enough them letting Charley hear her name being chanted to be evicted each week, but five wannabe new housemates telling them exactly what has happened on each episode that's been shown is a joke.

All the decent housemates are now evicted (Shabnam & Charley... the only housemates worth turning on for) and BB has been ruined. Why the HELL is Tracey & Carole still in the house?! That alone makes this series definately one of the worst... ever. This "twist" just takes that even more over the top.

Also the house-next-door twist hasn't been done EVERY single year since BB5 has it... *tumbleweed*.

BB4 > BB8

At least BB4 was a bit fresh at the time , and they did not rely on new housemates and the like.

^ You are VERY strange then.

Also I kind of agree that even BB4 is better than BB8. TWENTY FOUR housemates so far... that's worse than BB7... which was a complete joke.

Big Brother is pathetic now.

I find it really irritating when people complain about how awful Big Brother is, yet still watch it every night and post on Big Brother forums...if you don't like it, then go away, and stop ruining it for other people.

I find it irritating when people say stuff like that. We can still , as fans of the show as a whole , watch it and still , as fans of the show as a whole , come on here and debate about it.

If your sick of it , why the hell waste your time writting these uninspired monologues against people with OPINIONS.

If people talking about how THEY dont like it ruin it for YOU , well , your gonna be dissapointed by some very small things in life.

Well, he's openly said that he ISN'T liking the series, which is why it's frustrating that he's still wasting time on a forum like this.

The fact that I've been a massive Big Brother fan since BB1 may give it away. As sad as I am to say this, but BB8 has been a MASSIVE let down of the entire of BB UK.

Am I not allowed my own opinion?

Also I've only recently changed my opinions on BB8. At the start I thought it was horrific (the all girl twist), but then started to like it (because of Shabnam & Charley)... then Shabnam (my favourite) get evicted. The series went very downhill. Then yesterday just pushed it even further. Charley is now gone and we're replaced with the worst twist to have ever happened on Big Brother UK history.
