Default A potentially great series thats running out of steam

I was really enjoying this the first month of this series, but sadly and as what has happened before in past series, the best house mates (i.e. the interesting ones not the bores) have left. Shabby, Keever, Sunshine, Nathan and Ify all helped to make the series fun to watch now its becoming a bit of a morgue.

Josie used to be fun now she just lies in bed most of the time playing mind games with John James. For this to take up most of a HL show demonstrates how bad its getting.

The 3 new house mates are all dull. Nice people do not make good viewing and that's why it was silly for BB producers (why do they make this silly mistakes?) to allow the house mates to choose who they wanted to go into the house knowing some of them met previously in the auditions. Madness. Sam and Joel should be in there.

A series that showed great promise is going downhill rapidly.

I am just willing Big brother to give them a nice juicy big task that will split the house up a bit.

I find myself not bothering to watch it a lot of the time now - and if I have it on I am easily distracted into doing other things! Boring beyond belief! They can stick their JJ/Josie show where the sun don't shine as far as I am concerned!

It is a little frustrating when you start with such such great potential and then we had it ruined or really 'stalled' while the idiot Shabby crap played out and even lost Sunshine in the meantime.
After shlthead was finally dealt with we got to restart and again it was looking great as it was about to catch its stride and the new HMs came in early enough and were good fits.
A little 'restart again' and finally we were off to realize the potential.
STOP!
Now here is the new rotation of outside people. They came in and all the inertia gathered and all the 'gelling' we achieved was reset again.

I'm still feeling good about it and there is still time here.. we have a way to go yet. I think the potential can still get fully realized yet.

It is a bit frustrating though.. some stalls and restarts and just waiting for that fire to really catch on.

I can barely watch it, the constant Josie and JJ thing. It has become boring, there is little to entertain us with those two. I'm hoping things pick up with the show but as it stands now, watching people lie around in bed is not entertainment.

Imo,If Ben goes Friday,the show will be a lot poorer,all you will get is crab eyes and Josie talking under the quilt,mario perving,the odd sermon from Dave and Rachaels continuous screaming,No thanks

I like it, however it is unwatchable when josie comes on screen, so i just pop on here and mute the sound.

I don't really want Ben to go, I'd rather a couple of house mates go in and stir the house up. At the moment it's getting very dull. And I am really bored with the Josie/JJ thing that will never turn into a romance.

The big shame is, the housemates that entered after launch all seem to of slotted in easily.

This eviction is the worst of the whole series. The three big characters are up (Ben, Dave and John James). I would like Andrew to go. However, I doubt he will.
I can see Big Brother costing Dave. The highlights don't put him in a good light. On the live feed he is hilarious.

This series is just pure ****, I have already missed two episodes this week, which I have never usually done before.
I called in first week and it looks like I was right all along.

I've been waiting all series for this. There haven't been any tasks which last longer than 5 minutes and where they all relied on each other to pass - the tasks are broken down into mini tasks and whether they fail or pass they get rewarded anyway if they wait long enough.

The last "task" was a fecking joke. How could they possibly fail it? They needed x amount of views to win - you couldn't take back your view if you thought it was $hit could you. If it had been done like Guitar Hero where you had to sing in tune to pass then fair enough. The HMs involvement was minimal and it was the post production (autotune anyone?) that made it work. It was nothing more than a poorly conceived PR exorcise for BB and that annoying Andrew bloke.

If the HMs were involved in the experience rather than encouraged to lounge about then there would be less time to get bored, paranoid and less walking.

BB put more emphasis on the tasks theme rather than the content, endurance or challenge itself.

And what's the point with the Challenge the House crap? JJ won his one by cheating? Pointless.

If Ben goes on friday and they have had as near as many walkouts as evictions already this series except for the person who always threatens to leave but doesnt,namely JJames,but if Ben goes on friday I'm done with it,got a holiday to go one but was waiting until BB finished but once Bne is out there is no way I could stomach watching JJmaes and his creepy grin and this boting ongoing saga of him and Josie.
I will rejoin it at the end and if she is there support Corin or anyone that isnt JJames for the final week.Thta week if JJames is still there and I am sure BB will do all they can to amke sure he and Josie are,then I will be on permanent redial to vote for anyone who will come nearest to beating that rotten false twerp.
If BEN stays this week and I think he can,then I will postpone my holiday for a few more weeks.

The above posters have got it spot on. Tasks too easy, too much emphasis on team work rather than splitting the house mates and everyone mostly getting along.

Say what you like about Shabby, Keever and co who have left the house but at least they created a bit of entertainment. Something has got to happen to bring this house alive.
