Format:
Let's get this one out of the way first. Probably one of the main reasons why it's recognised as one of the best in years is because it had an actual FORMAT (something everyone has been crying out for for years.) Not only did it go back to the traditional way (noms every Monday, noms reveal every Tuesday), it also introduced us to a new format: Big Coins and The Gamechanger. For me, this helped the series not become boring, as I knew what was happening on that night and would look forward to it, for example on Sunday nights, I'd get excited to see what would be included in the auction, and on Wednesdays I'd look forward to see who would win and save themselves from eviction.
Tasks:
Not much to say here, as everyone generally agrees that the tasks in BB19 were the best in YEARS. Some tasks I'd even go as far to say were some of the best ever, mainly looking at the China task.
Cast:
Sorry but this cast was AMAZING. However, after the 7 previous series on C5, I can sort of understand why the cast seemed quite weak. The truth is, imo, the "entertaining casts" of previous C5 series were not all that great. It was producer influence that caused some of your favourite moments and arguments, NOT purely because of the cast. For example, Fight Night 3 in BB18. Had producers not ****-stirred with that task, there would've likely been no argument that night. Not to mention all of the Z listers in that series, who knew exactly what they were doing when playing up to the camera. That's fake. And I don't watch Big Brother to see fake people, I want to watch real people. I have no doubt in my mind that if BB19 had the production of other C5 series, then it would have all of these "iconic moments" that you all love. It was all natural, and still ended up with a few arguments over the course of the series, and tension throughout. Here's a few quick examples:
Anamelia:A very entertaining HM, dominated the HL shows in the first week, although maybe its a good thing that she went as it would've quickly became the Anamelia series?
Lewis G:Not liked on here know, but a pretty harmless HM that gave us some content for week two. A wind-up-merchant yes, but give me that over someone who does nothing.
Kenaley:Not the most prominent HM, but really popped up when she was arguing. Underrated IMO
Isabella and Hussain: The two late entries of the series, I think they were perfect timing. Isabella a hugely underrated scream who also changed the dynamcics between Zoe and Cian, and was the flame in Lewis F and Hussain's feud. Hussain, another wind-up-merchant who was harmless, also provided content for the two weeks he was there. Again, give me that over someone who does nothing anyday
Lewis F:Probably the most controversial HM of the series, but I loved him. A real nutcase who was an absolute freak in the house and made every other HM go mentally insane. No, I wouldn't like to live with him as I mentally couldn't handle living with someone who drove ou mad, but for me it was great TV viewing and was upset when he was removed. Although if you didn't like him, I guess you could say being removed was his karma for making people have mental breakdowns </3
Tomasz:Everyone pretty much agrees on Tomasz, such a unique HM
Sian:Yes. I KNOW I sound like a hypocrite for saying I dont like HM's who do nothing, which is what many think of Sian. However, the bits we did see of her, I LOVED. So I thought she was a. good HM
Special mentions to Zoe and Cameron as well.
TL;DR
I LOVED BB19 for all different reasons and so do most people who watched it.
SO why does TiBB dislike it so much? :)
