I'm with you on this
I watched the first four series end enjoyed them. I'd watch the first show, then only watch regularly six or seven weeks before the end, therefore making sure all the feckless idiots had been kicked out and you were left, mostly, with genuine, interesting people. The group dynamic was, to me, much more interesting with a smaller group.

Now, to keep the sensationalist public happy, the producers seem to choose the most base, bottom-feeding housemates to ensure snogging, alcohol-fuelled arguments and counter-intelligent sound bites.

No offense meant to anyone here who watches it (my dad, 51, loves it) but it is now a show for the lowest common denominator and is the adult equivalent of the Teletubbies, Which I quite liked, ironically.
