Big Brother is coming to an end Channel 4 have said, love it or hate it ( just like Marmite ) when Big Brother started each year we all knew summer had begun. When the first series hit our screens 10 years ago nobody could ever have guessed what a phenominum it would become. At first it was a novelty to watch what these people locked in a house got up to each day, but not until Nasty Nick and his note writing did it hit the news big time. It was an experiment that went massive.
Series 1 was won by Craig Phillips who gave away his prize money to pay for a friends heart transplant, he now does what he knows best DIY and is currently on ITV 60 minute makeover. Who will ever forget Jade Goody? and not always for the right reasons, but even now writing about her she brings a smile. We would all ask " are people really so simple?" the answer is yes, there is a Jade in everyones life to some degree. She is no longer with us was a huge Big Brother contestant and she never even won, the show that year was won by Kate Lawler.
We also have Brian Dowling, lovely Irish Brian, but my favourite winner of the 10 years by a mile was Nadia, she won series 5, wonderful screaming in the diary room for cigarettes. Each series has had twists and turns, people you love, people you hate, Friday night evictions and all the drama of the crowd.
So love it or hate it everyone knows it, it has been a talking point in millions of people lives over the years, but no more, Channel 4 say viewers are bored of it and it has reached a natural end. What do you think?
There will be 1 more Celebrity Big Brother early next year.
Davina McCall said last May that she thought this year would be the end and on Twitter this week said she spent the day she got the news in tears, but she says she will spend 24 hours as a housemate before the final end.

Good riddance to bad rubbish is what I say. Haven't people got their own lives to lead?
Only ever caught a glimpse of it once & was astounded that people actually sat & watched it, the most boring TV programme ever. The people I saw were ignorant & bad mannered, I am suprised it survived this long.
If Davina McCall spent 24 hours in tears at the news of Big Brother's demise then they should lock her in that Big Brother house for 5 years with 5 or 6 other halfwits and see if she changes her opinion.
The sooner all this crap disappears off mainstream TV the better.
