After almost 20 yrs the makers of Big Brother have announced that their next series will be their last.
Do you watch it?
Will you miss it?
Or do you think its had its day? |

Not since season 3

I miss the seasons where they had reasonably sane and intelligent people that were relatable. After about season 5, they just filled it with a bunch of cartoon characters and cliches.

I won’t miss it.
I used to love watching it, but recently for civilian Big Brother they throw in wannabes from other reality shows & for Celebrity Big Brother they throw in people who are not celebrities & have only had 5 mins of fame.
It’s had its day! |

The term 'celebrity' has been devalued like the Venezuelan bolivar fuerte. It wasn't like that when I was young. |

Its about time!
The first 3 or 4 series were
quite interesting to watch but then
i disliked most of the house mates
after that and i stopped watching it.
I did enjoy the celebrity version more.
who will forget George Galloway
pretending to be a cat or Jack Dee
going crazy talking to those chickens! |

Watched the first few series before they started putting idiots and fools in for comedy value.
Completely painful to watch now, with the people they put in. The contestants all seam to me to be purely after the Z list celebrity status that comes with being on the show.
Shame really as the first few series were quite interesting, if not voyeristic, glimpse of a social experiment. |

I think some of the celeb versions are still a social experiment. Once they've got the really annoying ones out it can get interesting.
I don't usually watch the non-celeb version as they're not the type of people I'd like to watch.

"Didn't they say that last year as well? Maybe I'm mistaken, but I was surprised to see it starting again as I thought last year was the last one. "
I remember them saying that last year as well.
I don’t watch the regular one as they seem to all either know each other or have been on other reality shows but I find the celeb ones interesting. When they start to show themselves rather than their celebrity personas. |

Its only a matter of time until audiences are flocking to watch a giant bum on the screen. Idiocracy predicted it. "
Well, I'm watching a tiny pussy  |

Do you watch it? - not since maybe the first 2 or 3 series
Will you miss it? - not at all
Or do you think its had its day? - It had its day years ago & I was surprised when C5 started it up again. I'd like to think that C5 will find something much better to fill the time with... |

"The only way bb would be interesting again would be to fill the house full of fab members. That would be alot more fun."
Only if they had individual rooms where they couldn’t see each other and were allowed their phones to log in here.
Watching the news last night, they have 3 years of planning permission for the site the ‘house’ is on so I imagine they are hoping for a ‘no, it can’t go’ response and bring it back for a 20th anniversary special.
Or maybe I’m cynical |

The celebrity sesaons on channel 5 have had a far better mix than on channel 4 but civilian big brother on channel 5 has been terrible. The thing that's let it CBB down on 5 is that it's been caught being staged several times and they tend to gear the show towards who the producers want to win.
Instead of going for a mix of contestants with different life experiences/ backgrounds in civilian BB they put TOWIE/ Geordie Shore/ Made in Chelsea wannabes in there so you end up with a bunch of plastic 21-year olds who are a carbon copy of the group of housemates who they put in the year before and the year before that. They haven't had a decent or memorable winner since c5 bought the rights to it. If another channel gets it they need to think about what set it apart from other reality shows rather than trying emulate them. People don't just want to watch people in their early 20s who are in there because they're popular on their local clubbing scene. |

I stumbled across it by accident when it first started. I thought it was a documentary, this lasted for all of two minutes before i got bored and turned over. I haven't watched it since, good riddance. |

Probably watched the first five seasons it was a great concept for the early noughties. I was a little younger then and lived in a great bubble.
It’s had its time and I bet it’s pretty costly to put on. I won’t miss what I don’t watch. |

"Long overdue I think. It was originally a social experiment and people didn’t know what to expect, now it’s just people after fame. It has out stayed it’s welcome I think  "
