It's got pretty lively really quickly this year and it helps that they all seem to stay up late which gives more stuff to watch..

However I really don't see Channel 4 changing it's decision to axe it

I think one of the biggest positives this year is how active Big Brother is in giving the housemates stuff to do. There have been so many tasks this year. Good tasks at that. 

I agree to a point - I see Nathan as a waste of a housemate, Ife is getting quite interesting in an unnerving sort of way (lets see who goes on Friday eh?) and as much as I applaud Steve for what he has been thru (I have experience of his disability thru family) - he cant really get involved in the tasks and stuff - and as much as I hate to say it - and I really DO applaud him for his courage and conviction to not let life get him down, just because he's disabled does NOT grant him a pass to the final (and I say that in complete confidence, without fear of retribution, those of you who know me will know).  I think that he IS an inspiration to all.  My daughter cannot walk thru disabilty, an uncle of mine is paralised from the waist down, he has lost THREE children (two with meningitis and one who hung himself) AND his wife has had a triple by-pass.... his oldest son is STILL serving in the army.

SORRY about the rant - but I think Nathan is a waste of a housemate, and I although I dont have anything against Steve, and I applaud him very very loudly - he shouldnt automatically win the show

good post Brummie and I agree with it up to a point. BUT given the choice between Steve who may not have been the most entertaining HM and Shabby ( *shudders*) I would FAR rather the money went to Steve.

^^^^ of of course - me too, me too - I'm not slagging Steve

I think it's a great BB this year. It reminds me why I liked it in the first place. I don't think C4 will do a U turn but I think another channel might pick it up.

about Steve again.... do any of us think that Steve would be grateful to WIN BB because of his disability???  NO - disabled people want to be treated as a normal human being, and I, as a 'normal' human, if I was in the house, would have no qualms whatsoever about putting Steve up for evicto and so it should be!


As Prom said up there as well, there is NO reason on earth for BB to stop and I also hope that another channel takes it over, it would be a great money-spinner for them, spesh if the broadcaster isnt too bothered about bad language/nudity/talking about others - they can always bleep the bloody names out.  I for one cant be arsed with sex in the house - that is just vulgar and vouverism and exhibitionism at its worst

Funny enough I wasn't thinking of his disability - more of the fact that he is a decent individual who would make the most of his win and probably benefit most from the money. But again, you are right - I think he would hate to win because of the fact he has limited mobility etc.

C4 won't reconsider their decision, not even for E4 where we can watch Friends 24/7 for the next 10 years. I do hope another channel that would like a ratings boost picks it up. but I doubt it because of the costs involved

Perhaps last years Big Brother was just pure shite!lol

I find Steve a bit boring. I'm with Barmy - top marks to him for living his life without being a moaning, self-pitying arse (listening, Shabby?), but that's not enough reason for him to win.
Nathan's the sort that every pub has, hanging round the dart board and grunting the odds.

Charlie (and Nana), Kris and Lisa were enough to make me tune out. Loathesome and dull, what a combination!

Spot on. No surprise that BB picked him to do the darts challenge

I really do think that BB has run its course.  Apart from forum people, I don't know anyone who is watching it this year.  I watched most of the opening night with growing dismay, and have tried to watch it three or four times since. I even had tickets to last week's eviction, and didn't want to go.  I've found this year's contestants overall the most objectionable group so far.  There isn't one of them who I don't dislike, they are generally way too young to be interesting to me, and they are just so boring and vacuous.  But it is quite nice having my summer back this year

I agree Riverrock thought last year was rubbish but i'm enjoying this year


I know loads watching it and i live in southern ireland and all my friends and family back home are addicted

Channel 5 and Endermol or securing a deal as we speak 

Reeeeally, Rawky?
That'd be good..

From what I've read its more of a take over. I don't know if that means Channel 5 will be called 'Endermol' or something similar. If it does there's a good chance BB could return.

Here's the linky poo's:
