Good Points

Limited as these clearly are, the good points would probably have to be the end, but then you realise you will have to sit through an increased amount of boredom as it is on for longer next year, and realising that seeing some of the contestants you realise your life could be worse- you could be in the house!

Bad Points

I couldn't possibly name them all. However, the endless stream of monotonous side programmes such as Big Brother's Big Mouth make this cringeworthy piece of "reality tv" even worse.

General Comments

From the beginning to end of this monotonous stream of "twists", as they are so called, this boringly predictable piece of cringeworthy "television viewing" proves that year after year that people will lower themselves to so low standards that they have reached rock bottom and started to dig.

So what could possibly be the good points. Well it took me about 1 hours to think of them and all I came up with was the end. However, they even spoil this with Davina announcing: " That's it until next year and remember CBB in January". It makes you wonder what is going to happen then, but you remember that, like all the other times, it will be boringly consistent with it's endless stream of live footage which usually involves you finding it being a good day if you hear about 4 words an hour through all the silence. The only other good point is that it stimulates thinking and debate. How you ask. Well you feel that your life is much better now that this "programme" is off air and you are thankful you didn't enter the competition after you saw how boring and cringeworthy it was and it stimulates moral debate by you asking what was the point of it? Would it be worth watching again? Why was it pointless? All the answers are negative of course. Now onto the bad points.

Well keen to cash in on the public they decide to launch shows which claim to analyse the psychology, behaviour and debate the actions of the contestants. Usually these are even worse than watching the actual show. Then there is of course the housemates themselves. Desparate not to get evicted and then to find they are booed when they get out of the house. When all you do is sit in a house all day doing what every other person in Britain does they really shouldn't be surprised. Then, keen to cash in on their 'fame', papers have the usual headlines: ' my story', ' why I did what I did'. After this they return to ordinary life along with the winner only to be written about in the newspapers again when they do something wrong and the newsdeck is fresh out of news.

Boring predictable, cringeworthy and turn off tv. This programme deserves to be scraped before more of us have to endure it for about a year.
