Predicatable Big Brother

A end of celebratory Big Brother in a stage managed triumph for integration over racism can only be described as crass viewing.

The "losses" of sound at crucial moments such as Danielle's exit was a feeble attempt by the broadcaster to try and cover over the cracks of the last two weeks and the show ended on a sense of predicatability.

Mark Lawson in Today's Guardian writes

Only one result could have begun to repair the damage to the reputation of British television and society caused by the 2007 series of Celebrity Big Brother. And last night, at 9.20pm, Channel 4 got it.

QUITE......and continues

But BB's future is more uncertain. A show which once started celebrity careers has now been seen to threaten them.
And this reduces the supply of those stupid enough to take part, a reservoir which, in fact, was already.
The show, however, is the network's golden goose. So, though the bird is now rancid and tasteless, the assumption must be that they will serve it up again.
