Housemates consider mass walkout
HMs speculate BB10 is worst series yet
housemates-consider-mass-walkout

The housemates have been considering whether they should quit the series together as suspicions about how successful Big Brother 10 is were raised with the recent departures of Kenneth and Tom, who arrived little over a week ago.

Kenneth left during the early hours of Thursday morning escaping over the garden wall whilst Tom exited the house via the diary room late last night.

This has led to speculation amongst the housemates that Big Brother is not as popular this year as it has been previously, with Marcus concluding: “This is just a shit Big Brother.”

They’re not putting any money or effort into the tasks so we’re all sitting around bored all the time. People aren’t going to want to turn on their televisions and see us lot sitting around all depressed.”

Noirin and Charlie both agreed, with Marcus adding the series may have already been cancelled - and they’ve been left in the house whilst the producers have “f***ed off home”.

Siavash then raised the possibility of them staging a mass-exit, stating: “It would be the coolest thing that’s ever happened on telly if we all just walked out.”

Big Brother’s ratings have fallen by over a third compared to last year, dropping to below the 2m mark.   The birthday week of episodes did see a small increase in the ratings, but ratings dropped again on Friday night for the non-eviction eviction shows, with just 1.8m (on C4) watching Kenneth’s interview with Davina.

Meanwhile 8 out of 10 Cats panellist Jason Manford has revealed the annual Big Brother special, usually screened on finale night, has been dropped this year.

I’m sorry but Big Brother this year has been just pathetic theres just so many ffactors that have contributed to its failing. I wouldnt even want to attempt listing them all. I’d be here all day!

Tom told the HM’s there is no Live Feed and thats why they are all peeed off.

Am says: July 26, 2009 @ 3:01 pm

I think the housemates are obviously very bored as there’s not much to do in there due to the lack of tasks and alcohol!

Brekkie says: July 26, 2009 @ 3:07 pm

And it’s boredom when all the problems start. I’ve always said the reason the race row kicked off in CBB5 was because the HMs had a lot of downtime due to no real tasks, and also nominations that week didn’t take place until the Wednesday, meaning things festered rather than HMs being able to use the nominations to get things off their chest.

From what they showed on BBLB Marcus is getting increasingly agitated and looks primed to really snap at any point. And if it does happen the producers will really only have themselves to blame as they’re just not keeping the HMs minds occupied.

Joseph - is that just your thoughts or do we know that Tom actually told them?

I was rather suspicious both his and Kenneth’s exits happened overnight during the live streaming hours. I’m surprised they didn’t tell Tom to wait until the morning actually.

if i was in there and i was told that ratings aren’t as high and live feed has been dropped i would be disapointed but i don’t think i would want to leave because of it. if i was persuaded by the other housemates to leave i would make sure i was last to walk through the door so technically i could say i won lol

Brekkie says: July 26, 2009 @ 3:30 pm

LOL. I guess though you’re not a fame hungry whore. Personally I’d only even consider doing the Big Brother experience if I knew nobody was watching.

Big brother has failed big time this year. I think they should just call off the show. Its history now

Matt says: July 26, 2009 @ 3:35 pm

After deliberating for a while I’ve decided to remove off-topic comments. Thanks to those who defended us!

This wrong with this years big brother (for me);

1. Big Brother themselves. BB has no personality, my suggestion for next year would be that big brother is mean & evil as well as a seriously nasty head-messer. And im not talking about calling someone to a diary room and telling them not to talk about a conversation that didnt happen i mean go-all-out to mess with their heads.

2. Housemates. They are all boring people we have all seen before. Alot of YOUNG PEOPLE (probally the range of people big brother should try and appeal to) like the people on the Jemery Kyle show so i suggest the produces go there to pick some people for next year. I know alot o outragous people get the BBBoot rather quickly but atlest they are intresting.

3. The house. Same old same old. They need to do a serious overhall of the BB house and build something never seen before.

4. Rules. A serious re-write of the rules is needed. Id say housemates should not be allowed to mention anything from the outside world. Id also say that nominations should be revealed at 6pm on a Firday, giving housemates only a couple of hours to except their up, to pack and get ready.

5. Tasks. Housemates should be active from the moment they wake till the time they go to bed. I think this years housemate problems is the fact that they have so much time to do in the house but not alot of things to fill the time with.

I can think of so much more but if they changed these mentioned things i would be happy bunny =]

I guess you can sleep easy tonight knowing that if they are talking about all walking they are not that desperate for the money or in it for a little bit of fame afterwards.

Nathan says: July 26, 2009 @ 4:49 pm

Andy - I’d really like to see a two storey house which with an evil BB they could use to their advantage to mess with the housemates’ heads.

Brekkie says: July 26, 2009 @ 5:39 pm

Not so much “evil”, as we’ve been there, done that, but certain it should be a no-nonsense BB.

What it needs to be though is competitive - make the HMs earn their place in the house and work their way to the final.

Richie says: July 26, 2009 @ 5:53 pm

I say let them go if they want to walk

They (or rather their agents) KNEW what was coming as soon as they signed on the dotted line, so there is no point in them whining when they have the whole house at their disposal to have some fun

They don’t like it, they know where the door is…They can be replaced

I have to applaud Tom for not sticking to the script and telling them some home truths before he left

BB have lost all control this year and it’s turning into a farce which I can’t see them getting out of

They have created their own problems this year and they have no-one else to blame but themselves. This is their punishment

Ben says: July 26, 2009 @ 6:01 pm

GO ON i would love to see that happen suprisingly !!! xx

ryan.b says: July 26, 2009 @ 6:13 pm

they cant call it a hosue as tenchinacally it is a bungalow lmao! and i would love to see how c4 and big brother reacts to a mass walk out! would be soo good but not the day after cuz there would be no big brother! haha

Andy says: July 26, 2009 @ 6:35 pm

No no, Big Brother has to be evil for bb11. Like week 7 give the housemates messages from home, but big brother should speed the videos up so the housemates cant make out what their f&f are saying. Like a 3 minutes tape condenced into 30 seconds. That would be awsome.

G says: July 26, 2009 @ 10:40 pm

I very much doubt there will be another UK Big Brother, Endemol have already planned to axe it which is more than likely the reason for not attempting to make the tenth series any different from the rest and now that their ratings have fallen for another year I can’r see them risking losing more next year.

Steve’Lee says: July 27, 2009 @ 9:46 am

I think it becomes really bad when the housemates them self figure it out.
I believe the only reason BB producers are not putting any tasks or fun-things in is because where as in previous series, all they need everday is 1 hour of footage, so as long as they get that 1 hour they have no need for tasks etc…

phcube says: July 27, 2009 @ 5:51 pm

BB boring? Definitely. More activities needed. They have nothing to eat or drink and nothing to do. BB needs to get its act together. The less food the HMs have, the less energy they have and the more inclined to depression they become. I wouldn’t blame anyone for walking out of there. What else do they have but to sit around all day. Why not give them some ‘fun’or physical activities every day to keep them occupied? Or simply a task a couple of times a week whereby they could earn a special meal or a party? As it stands, the programme is not entertaining. I’ve given up watching it.

Brekkie says: July 27, 2009 @ 8:15 pm

Back to BB1 again folks, but I watched an episode last week where they were given the simple task of drawing a portrait.

Nowadays when they get that sort of thing, they normally all have to do it together in the lounge and have just an hour or two to do it. Back then BB gave them 24 hours to do it in their own time, and that just worked so much better, especially as the pairs separated around the house so could talk to each other, something they can’t do when they’re lined up together in the lounge.

If they can’t be arsed with more tasks, spreading the weekly task over an extra day or two would be a start.
