no its been killed of

Sadly I think it has,this lot are the worst selection yet.

Totally agree with you. I feel they would be better off ending the show with this one.

Nope I don't think it has.

im still entertained by it.

Lack of Live Feed has not affected me.

I miss Dermot and wish Davina to go back to her old self....they are my only gripes really.

i wonder whether sky will take over the concept and do a show which is more like the US version ....which i must say i have become addicted to ..

IMO this is the worst BB ever, not only with the selection of HMs but the way BB are not even punishing disgusting habits like spitting, putting bare backsides on food preparation surfaces and sticking bananas up backsides - its just condoning the worst behaviours.

And of course, no live feed is the beginning of the end. Its not Big Brother without that.

I still love it. This lot are gradually growing on me.

Me and you and a dog named BOO!

I dont think it has been killed off but the fact that we dont have live feed has not helped.....

I think Ch4 should be ashamed at the way

they've destroyed what was a great
concept. Manipulation, biased editing, blatant
rule breaking going unpunished (you don't need
me to go on ) has all contributed to the demise.

Of course this year pulling the live feed is
(I hope) the nail in their coffin and that they
sell it off to a company who will take it back
to its roots.

Just think ~ the 10th Anniversary show should
be the best ever. Instead we get this damp
squib.

The concept isn't dead ~ just that Ch4's
mismanagement has flogged the life out of it.

The production has.

It’s very predictable now but still worth a watch. It’s on for far too long though, I think fewer HM’s and a run of 6 to 8 weeks would be sufficient.

It might have run its course on C4 but there are other broadcasters.

I am not that into this years lot

Other things going on at the moment so maybe it I'll get into it when I can watch the LF that they've kindly allowed us to see more

It's certainly had its day.

Assuming there will be a BB11, what will they do next year if they carry on like this? 2 hours of live feed at 3am and a 30 minute highlight show shown on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

I think the last month of BB9 put off a lot of viewers because it was very boring. I think BB10 is just getting exciting.

CH4 are certainly making it look like it has run its course it is like a very clever edited soap opera

I don't think it has had it's day....bring back the LF...front out ofcom complainers by advertising as adult TV...up the marketing...bring back weekly, 2/3 day long tasks....basically invest some time in organising the show and bring back the hype then BB could be back better than ever.

To me it looks like they (C4/Endemol) have given up on BB not BB giving up on them.

As it stands now BB is dead in the water unless they pull their fingers out. IMO they could have a cracking BB this series but it seems that they just can't be @rsed.

I think in Ch4s hands it has.

The format (the old format) still has legs.

WE have the control freaks at channel 4 to thank for killing this show,
the dropping of 24/7 live feed is the final nail in the coffin for this show as far as the real BB fans are concerned,
but sadly MOST BB viewers didnt watch the live feed anyway, so to them its no diferent from any other year,
channel 4 have always influenced the way people see the HMs and the way they vote the only difference this year is that they have silenced the minority who USED to get a truer idea of what happens,
WE allways were a minority, so c4 is NOT overly concered with what WE think,
I for one hope that this is the LAST BB on channel 4, and that another channel take it on for next year,

That could work ....although I am peeved at channel 5 loosing out to sky 1 for HOUSE.

I think Big Brother has been slowly dying for 3 or 4 years.
The original concept, as in BB1, can never be
recaptured. As soon as fame and money came to the fore the downslide began.
I think it is exhausted - and shows it.

I think that C4 have ruined this year's BB and I think another channel, which could possibly change the UK format (more like USA)would pull those who have given up watching back into the fold

sorry hehe BB is the ONLY "reality" show I watch and I hate my self for my "weakness" but they got me "hooked" on it early on... swines

Last night was the first prog that I have seen since they went in. I must say that it has turned out much better than I thought it would.

I think it has run it's course, but I think the producers just don't care and are going through the motions.

The mix of HM's is very poor. The tasks (what I have seen) are very poor. Where are the fresh ideas? Even the "punishments" are pretty pathetic. What happened to being exempt from nominating if you discussed nominations? Now all you get is having to wear a stupid hat.

Also, take a look at this place? Hardly anyone on here, because we don't have much to discuss in relation to BB. We are just going over the same thing, because without watching LF it is pointless.

Well all those who have complained in the past to ofcom should give themselves a pat on the back for helping to push C4/£ndemol over the edge and I 100% agree that it should be an adult only offering to silence the nay sayers

Come in C4 your times up!!! you don't deserve to have us as devoted fans!!!

what we need instead of endless "bring back live feed" petitions. is a Campaign urging people NO TO VOTE, hit the bastards where it hurts, in the pocket

Am I the only person who thinks they've picked a really good mix of people this year?

I think it’s an OK mix.
I’m not that keen on any of them (though I quite like Rodrigo), but that’s usual for me – the folk who want to appear on BB are usually self obsessed wannabe types, and those traits don’t make for a likeable character. The fun for me is the arguing, and evictions

haha we will have people talking

sadly i think the show has been run into the ground over the last 12 months the red button was taken off freeview about 3 years ago then was taken off for the last celeb bb and now for bb10 added to the fact that they seem to have run out of ideas for small tasks let alone the weekly ones turns people off when you add that to the way bb has treated the fans over the years ! with things like the golden ticket ! which was shown to be fixed , the nikki in out in out shake her by the throat rubbish, bb changing voting rules and saying that people voted out could reenter and then win the prise and now the fact that when you vote non of it goes to charity but into bb own pocket has left a lot of fans with a nasty taste in there mouths !

Channel 4 are ruining it...simples

I think it has had it's day a good few years ago
The show is a waste of time without 24/7 Internet Live Feed

The Choice of HM's are just getting worse as each year goes by

they are extremely unlikable and irritating this year
Each year they get more and more repulsively camera hogging show off dreary talentless egomaniac borefests
~wanting their ZLister lifestyle and Mag deal£££££~ any way they can

This, basically.

I really think BB is something that you could keep going for a long long time as there are always different types of people and situations that could be played with. I'm pissed at the lack of live feed as I think that's the reason people are finally losing interest and saying it's no good anymore.

Time for another broadcaster though, please.
