I am wondering what any of the UKers on the forums think of this round of BB. Personally, I was as good as addicted to it at the beginning but my interest began to wane and continued to do so until I stopped watching altogether (about a week ago). I have never seen such an uninteresting bunch in the house before. It was an interesting and worthwhile social experiment the first few times they tied it but it seems like a idea that should be put to sleep now. What do you think? ---

The first 3 were pretty addictive and I would watch them all. I think now its just full of desperate wannabes, noone wants to get kicked out so they’re all playing it safe and I havent watched more than about 10 minutes of the whole series. Booooring! ---

doing a person swap seems to betray just how rubbish this series is. my vote goes for canning it ---

Me too! I haven’t watched it in a age (although I think the last week was supposed to be “good”) but I think that C4 will have to think seriously about another one! ---

Booooring! \*\* An indication of just how sad the series has become is that the contsetants themselves are **rejoicing** when they get voted off - not even the thought of the prize money (what is it - £70,000??) can make them endure another day in the house!!

Yes, it’s 70,000 and I know - all the “interesting” people got voted off early and it just leaves the others to stare vacuously around them. 70,000 although a nice sum of money would not be worth the pain in that house! ---

I have to admit I became adicted to series 1,2, and 3, even though I considered myself ‘above’ that kind of thing. It isn’t possible to be any less interested in a TV program than I am in BB 4. ---

I can’t even describe what they’ve got wrong this time because I’ve watched so little of it to come up with anything.
