They were incapable idiots.
It's a great format played right.
Yesterday Endemol Shine were granted planning permission from the local council to continue with the Big Brother house for another 3 years until 2021. As part of the planning application they obtained permission to stage 32 eviction shows a year alongside occasional corporate events.
Perfect opportunity for someone else to take it over, start again and get it back to being the great format it used to be before channel 5 turned it into a scripted farce.
Worst kept secret since Apples recent iPhone upgrades.

As much as I would like to see one of the larger channel take the show, I doubt they would touch it now. For years the audience figures have been in decline and other shows like Love Island seem to be what the viewing public want. We have also see BB & CBB show times pushed later into the evening alienating more viewers who have to work. I have been saying it since C5 took over that the show has probably outstayed it's welcome.
The best future for me would be for Channel 4 to take it, return to the social experiment, drop all the comings and goings in the BB house, no external contact, no 'almost' celebrities or z-listers posing as general public going in, put on a live feed and main shows at a sensible time in the evening. C4 have numerous channels to put it on. But I think it's not going to happen based on what I said in my first paragraph.
That Endemol said after Ch5 decision they are excited about new possibilities for BBUK âĶ and have extended the lease on the BB house for a further three years âĶ makes me think BB will continue - and not end.
It brought us all together so it deserves to continue

That's a good point @Baz. BB may have brought us here, but there is so much more that keeps us here.
