Do you think it's fair when people say BB5 is overated?
I know, it's a forum and everyone has an opinion, but I think BB5 in no way overated.
It saved possibly saved Big Brother for another 4 years after BB4.
It brought a new dimention to the UK and even worldwide format. No more back to basics. Now the UK is all about enduring tasks, mesing with minds,
secrets, twists and trickery. This mostly rooted from BB5. Even the house and eye now matches the series theme.
It was in my opinion one of only 4 series (Out of the 15) to have a perfect set of housemates (Being BB5,6, CBB4, and BB7) Oh look, it's my first
perfect set of Housemates lol 
It was fresh and new and actually fun to watch once again, and above all it exceded the shows potential far beyond anything from before or since. So,
who agrees

IMO it's not fair but everyone is entitled to have an opinion. But it's well recognised that BB5 had the most controversial bunch of housemates ever
in the history of BB.
I don't know how to be anybody different than what I am. Either you like it or you
don't. <3 LaToya Jackson

No I have to say that I think its extremely over-rated and wouldn't have been as much of a success if it hadn't been for BB4. Series like BB6 and
BB7 had something for everything (an aspect that BB5 lacked I think). It was the funniest series though! Bring back housemates like Emma and Shell! I
think the decor was terrible (I know it was meant to be claustorphobic but just general color schemes I thought were hideous!) and the eye and titles
were one of the worst!

I am watching it again now I am 3 weeks in and it is fantastic I forgot how great it was. The set of housemates were perfect and all the highlight
shows were good and entertaining to watch. Its not fair when people say BB5 is overrated because it was fantastic series and has never been beaten, it
deserves all the praise it gets.

BB5 is no way overrated. It usually tops the polls of fav series around here. It had great housemates,great twists and great tasks.

Great replies everyone :) One other thing I'd like to add. It was the first series anywhere to have a fake eviction (Emma, Michelle) It was the
first UK (possibly worldwide) series to have a second house (The bedsit) and also probably the first series anywhere to let a housemate play Big
Brother's role

It's obviously the best ever series, so I think it's a load of c**p when people say it's over-rated to be fair.

It's only overated whenever people must exaggerate about how bad BB4 was, when it wasn't even that bad, and people who thoroughly enjoy BB5 might
jump on the anti-BB4 bandwagon to look cool. BB4 was c**p or lowkey, but not as bad as lots make out.
And BB5 is my favourite series btw.

The series was brilliant, but I think it is a tad overated. I'm only saying that because it wasn't that good nearer the end, but I suppose that
happens on every series.

T'was a great series, but not the best for me. But I do agree that it raised the bar for future BBs, and has changed the format considerably.
