Think I watched the first 3 series. After that I decided it was a house full of wannabee's.

Ah well, think it has run its course. I'll admit I like to watch it now, but only for the last 3-4 series as the level of retardation within the housemates has spiralled out of control.

Comedy value mainly for me. Sit with a bottle or 2 of San Miguel and cry laughing most of the time

A few narrow minded views on here.

Can't you just accept that not everyone enjoys the same kind of TV program.

With so many TV channels, how can this make anyone angry?

I prefer to watch a wall of paint drying, it's much more stimulating.

Can C4 take an axe to the bunch of goons that are currently in the house now as well?

i've never watched more than a few minutes when at friends who do watch it and my opinion is its sh;t!

I'd rather watch a blank screen with that annoying high pitch whine that you used to get 20 years ago before TV went 24 hour!

Now if they would just cancel all the other dross such as "strictly *** prancing", "X-factor", etc..... I'd be happy!

Why would they axe the biggest viewing shows to keep you happy?

With so much choice, can't you just turn over? Try it....you never know!

What does it really matter? This is about a particular programme and people have differing opinions.

Personally I hate it, so simply I don't watch it. Don't care if it's on TV though, there are plenty of other channels for me to find something to watch. Each to their own.

What???

Strictly come oggling is fantastic.

I oggle and all the female dancers breasts and there are always upskirt shots.

Mind, I am a pervert though.

Agree with you on "****-Factor" though

Hang on X-Factor just now is at its best, the auditions and some of the "singers" are great TV.
"My whole family say I am great, what do you (multi-millionaire record producing) Simon Cowell know" That stuff is great, I don't care much for the rest of the show but these bits are god.

As for Big Brother, it'll be on next year but it's only channel 4 letting it go it could still be picked up by another channel, I hope not but such is life.

This is the best news I've heard all day, when hearing it on the radio whilst on the M5 whilst being annoyed by lane hogs and caravanners, I even shouted a little "woohoo, 'bout f*kin time".

******* thank God for that!

What a painfully boring cr@p that BB is! Must be a disaster for some, though. The ones who liked cheap form of tittilation and waited for one ugly to make advances to another ugly, or one freak washing another freak's back in the bath will cry their eyes out now

Kevin Lygo puts in a very articulate manner that C4's remit to push the boundaries has been an essential part of the weird chemistry behind Big Brother's success, but it's now what is telling us that the programme has reached a natural end point on Channel 4 and it's time to move on.

I caught about an episide or two, when someone else was watching the garbage. it was neither bizarre enough, nor was it pure black-and- white at all to my tiny brain cells. On both accounts, the stimulation that BB offered was well below a big, fat zero! Ten years survival of something as braindead programme as BB proves how "well" C4 has contributed towards country's psychosocial development through the media in last ten years, and how well BB has been enjoyed by the zombies of the society. Good job C4 has woken up now.
