Now, I'm aware plenty of people enjoy such shows and I am in NO WAY inferring "moral or intellectual superiority" over those who do, but they simply don't float my boat, therefore I won't be watching BB again.
You know.. I don't really want to fall out with people about this - and I know you probably don't mean it that way Yogi, but can you see why it seems that the watchers might feel that they're seen as idiots? I do appreciate that it's not the show it was - and I'm as disappointed as the next person about that, but I don't believe I'm an idiot for still watching. 
roll on Strictly.
Yogi said she didn't want to be treated like an idiot, she didn't say the viewers still watching were idiots. It's how she feels she's been treated as a voter of the show. I understand her views, underlining that bit of her conversation without noting the rest of it was a bit picky. I can see die hard BB fans will stick to the show and enjoy it, it's just not the kind of programme we want to watch. I'm not being superior or more intellectual than anyone else, I'm just using my prerogative to watch what i want. I probably watch a lot of rubbish programmes that most on here wouldn't be caught dead watching.... Like True Blood, Continuum, Vampire Diaries 
( you can see what I mean about my level of intelect)
I know that's not what Yogi meant, Bethni - I simply highlighted that bit to try to explain how some of the comments (not yogi's in particular) are coming across at times - and I know that they're probably largely not aimed at people on here who are watching because I guess we don't fall into the 'target audience' either. I'm not going to go through the threads to pick out all the comments about how thick the producers think the audience must be, but it does get a bit wearing at times.. I could have just got offended and buggered off, but I thought I'd just point out how I feel.
I'm glad you did mention it, because it gave me a chance to explain that I hadn't meant that viewers who continued to watch were idiots. It would have been worse if you had been offended and not said anything, then I wouldn't have had a chance to explain what I meant.
Does any of that make sense? I know what I mean.

It does Yogi Let's save proper fall outs for who gets the winks from the new Strictly tottie!
Edit to add... I could have picked a few posts as examples, yogi.. it was a general huff, not a specific one

I like Ola, she's my favourite female dancer, and Vids likes Ola.
But I don't like Ola in the same way as you and Vids.

Yep (I'm too much of a woose to watch Walking Dead.. but I do like Being Human USA)
I actually cried at the final episode of Being Human (USA).... I couldn't get into the British version. 
My hubby thinks I'm one of the living dead, the amount of vampire, zombie,reaper,werewolf programmes I watch. It's got so he doesn't ask me to the cinema unless the film falls into one of those categories.... I must widen my viewing horizons, I might get out more 
Oh and you don't know what your missing re: The walking Dead....

I never tried the UK version - I saw a trailer and it looked a bit scary for me.

You do, I'm the biggest woose ever, I hate the sight of blood, yet i watch all these programmes Walking Dead is definitely one of those cult shows that will be talked about years from now.
I'm not watching but have donned my celeb BB avi in honour of those who are sticking with it coz I know you all loved her really

The Walking Dead is top banana.
I just smile when I read that some one who proclaims to boycotting BB,which I would too if I could be arsed, but they then excuse themselves by explaining how they aren't watching it, but sort of fell into a thread where people were talking about it.
I'm sorry if that offends but it makes me smile.
And some people have said that anyone watching BB are not very bright, it's been said in this very thread.
So lets give Kaffs a break.

Check out the title of the thread, it asked "So the celebrity version starts tonight. How many of you won't be watching", and the non watchers duly replied. 
Edit: unless you are referring to falling into another thread?

And we now use this thread as our outlet for NOT watching

If that's me you are getting at ...you're right ....it offends JB Why should not watching mean we can't still read about it , either here or elsewhere .....and comment on what we read ?

That wouldn't be this thread then!so what are you taliking about .
This thread is about not watching CBB for whatever reason and we post in here...why people who are watching want to come in to this thread and wind others up heck knows what that's about .
C'mon peeps. Let's not take it too seriously. I didn't expect this thread to actually last that long. So whilst the topic is 'Not watching BB", let's have it as a fun thread.
LET'S DISCO!!
