Default Not happy with BB, am I alone?

Ok, I’ve watched it since the start and have to say, I’m very disappointed.

I’m originally from Australia, so am use to the Big Brother over there, which is usually good and this is my first UK one, and I’m not a happy camper.

Is the UK BB like this every year? It seems to me that they have just made it really boring and need new producers.

The had no secret rooms (oh the Bar near the end, woopyde doo). The had some really great ideas for twists, such as the fake charley eviction, the housemates evicting someone (gerry) and so on, but they didn’t carry them out correctly. Any “twist” they had backfired and was done half arsed.

Only just now, I see that this fake eviction twist this week, again was done half arsed.

What’s the point of having things like the washing machine in the house if your never going to tell them, hello – wouldn’t it be smart to tell them this week so we can see their reactions going mad knowing it’s been there the whole time. If you wait until they get out, it will be like “oh well”

What is with having 6 housemates in the final, how dumb is that? It should be 2 in the final, and 2 only!.

Being 6 in the final just means the votes will be spread across the board, with the winner winning by something like an extra 2%. It’s too many in the final.

I’ve liked most of the housemates this year, but the whole program has just been done worng.

It’s it just me or does anyone else agree that they don’t know how to do things the right way? ie: twists, secrets etc etc.

Every twist seems to flop or backfire, they do pointless things, like planning the whole fake eviction and then telling housemates 2 minuets later?

Lets hope next year it’s done right and not half arsed.

Well that’s my rant,

Twins to win.

I agree with you agentcollins, this year as gotten worse as the best people went, ending a final week of very boring big brother. I started cutting my watching time after Charley left, now i'm down to watching a couple of hours a week, & don't feel i'm losing out on anything. Big shame because i have watched the first 7 seasons and been totally hooked (accept bb4, which i found just ok.) After this years attempts not sure i will even bother next year

Agree, alot of the good charactors went (I didnt like Charley, hated actually, but she did get the house going).

All the twist's where great ideas but carried out completly wrong and I have to wonder, if Emily wasnted booted, Lesley didnt walk, Johnathan did leave and Chanelle didnt walk, would we have 10 in the final? I mean what was their original plan.

It seems it all just flopped on them

Your not alone agentcollins, the twists have been half hearted they havent played with the housemates nearly enough.

Take the fake eviction, that could have been so much more but BB cocked up. The audicence should have been actors cheering or booing and Davina should have acted like normal..... becasue of the way they handled it charley knew something was up.

Your also so right about the washing machine... why put it in if nobody knows about it... its a waste and a let down

6 in the final is just too much, in the first BB there was only 3 and this seems to work well..... but now its a joke and not only does it effect the votes but you also dont get a good interview because its so rushed

this years big brother has matched this years summer, very few rays of sunshine. I blame the kitchen police influence, Carole is the biggest party pooper housemate ever.

It's bad enough with 6 in the finale.

But look at all the people who where not evicted - Emily, Johnathan, Lesley and Chanelle.

If they stayed, there would of been 10 in the final. What do you think the origianl plane might of been?

When I first saw Carol on launch I thought, yes, someone who is going to stir things up a bit

After 13 week... well it was all a bit of a let down, all she does is cry when she is stood up too or moan constantly about food/cleaning/housemates

For someone who has been trying to get onto BB for years and years I would have thought that she would have played a different game

Iam sure if they had stayed they wouldnt have outso many new housemates in or had a fewmore double eviction or Wednesday night evictions

I don't think you're alone,
I was loking forward to it, so much, like mad I found this website and another fan-based websites on the aim of finding more about BB8 because I started loving it, I let me down from day 1 with that boring twist of having all-women house.
I gave it a go, and I watched some of the programs because i used the series link on Sky+ but to be honest, I have deleted some of the episodes without even watching it.
I decided to do other stuff than watching it.
With all this rumours about BB9 and C4 axing CBB6, I'm very off it, I was also looking forward to CBB6 as this one let me down

I absolutely hated it this year. IMO it was silly to put all girls there in the first place. I think they knew it was going to cause uproar because everyone would think it was sexist, I mean, is BB9 going to be all men? I personally don't think it was sexist, but other people did. Even though I don't 100% agree I see where they are coming from. I watched it and stopped watching half way through this series. It was crap. BB9! You'd better be good or you will be up for the Channel 4 chop next!

agentcollins - the AUS & USA version is so much better! i watch clips on dailymotion & the tasks, people & intire set up is far better. especially the USA version, the HMs have to nominate who goes (not the public), the HoH & Veto thing, all add something. to win the UK version its simple - act simple, dont have an opinion on anything & hey presto you have won!!!

yeah i agree. & last week the so called "original HMs" was talking about being behind one another. excuse me, the original HMs was all the girls (not kara) & the only male was ziggy! liam & brian cant come with this "original HM" crap because like jonty, kara etc they was not there from day 1!!!
