Default Big Brother 8 was a great series.
She's been underrated for far too long! Not many other series can boast as many iconic housemates such as Charley, Nicky, Samanda, Carole, Wangers and Shabnam to name a few! Imo it's up there with BB5, 7, and, dare I say it, 6.

Nah its one of the worst ones for me and it will never be regarded as a iconic / brilliant series except by a few on here, but general consensus is that it dropped largely in quality from BB7 to BB8 which is reflected by the major drop in ratings. After BB4 and BB11 it's the worst Ch4 series.

Shame after BB5/BB6/BB7 trio. It improved again for BB9 and BB10 though.

The first 8 weeks are great but once Charley goes it slowly starts dying and by the final 2 weeks it's basically unwatchable

Also this was the series when the tasks went downhill imo, there were a lot of duds.

BB8

I've always liked BB8 and I loved it more after a re-watch 3 years ago. It had a great cast,some great arguments and some cute friendships. It did get meh near the end but tbf all 13 weeks series were like that because 13 weeks doesn't really work imo.

Im glad that ive been watching because the reception that the show is awful after she leaves can finally be put to rest. Carols, Samanda, Amy, Johnty and Tracy are doing IT. Post charley bb8 is nowhere near as bad as post Nikki BB7 and thats just tea

For the first time ever I'm excited to get up to the post-Charley era



Is Kara-Louise not also doing the damn thing? I remember ha antagonising/trolling Ziggy on the regular always calling him Goldilocks when he hated it <3
