I'm actually glad to hear this. This show went down the drain years ago and I only kept watching out of loyalty. Even though the last two seasons (15 & 16) were pretty good, I'm still over BGC. It's stupid and I don't like the message it sends out. I don't like how people think you're irrelevant if you're not starting drama 24/7 and you're just being a genuinely nice person.
Snapped is actually my favorite Oxygen show so this is really good news. I was worried they might cancel it a while back until I read it was their second biggest show (behind BGC). Then, they started creating all these spin-offs so I knew it was safe.
I'm a big fan of true-crime documentary type shows and I think it's a good look for Oxygen. If you look at their other programs and how often they're rotating shows in and out, you can tell they were struggling to find their niche in the Cable TV world and their content wasn't connecting with the audience. Nothing they put on popped like BGC or Snapped, which is why they started branching out both of those brands and creating spin-offs. BGC has been slipping in the ratings while Snapped has been on the rise.
It's definitely time for BGC to go. It's been time. I will finish this last season but I'm excited that I won't be tempted to watch this show again.
