If someone goes out the fire exit, they shouldn't be allowed back.

No contact with the outside world.

Get some endurance tasks where people have to stand on something or hold onto something and they win immunity for the week or a prize.

Poorly planned,poorly executed and the advent of unscreened evictions is probably one of the worst things C5 have done to the show.
Overall its been crap.

Better cast than the norm on CH5 I guess, but otherwise the usual crappy tasks, manipulation, half assed twists and cheapo production. Not even having evictions shown the same night at times.

One issue I had with this series is that the concept of the other house wasn't executed as well as it could have been. This is primarily due to a few housemates escaping through the exit and finding out about the others before it was intended to. BB's mistake was letting these housemates back into the house after they had discovered it and letting the others know about it.

For future series' BB needs to be stricter with HM's breaking any (but especially the no escaping through the fire exits) rules. If one of them leaves, they should not be allowed to come back no matter how great of a housemate they are. Same goes with housemates expressing their desire to leave. If they want to leave just let them go and focus on those left behind. Develop their story lines rather than try to keep those select few that are integral to the story lines at the moment.

And one last thing.... BB needs to stop **** stirring, especially towards the end of a series.let the housemates handle it on their own and enjoy their experience.

.

This year was the biggest year yet for BB intervention.

Usually, the drama and the overall 'story' of the series evolves naturally from the relationship between the HMs themselves. This year, BB was much more controlled in pressing the HMs emotional buttons. If it wasn't for the tasks, there would have hardly been so many arguments. Maybe it's a good thing that BB have interfered so much in manipulating the drama this series. The purist in me often misses old school BB when it was more a human experiment. But i do also remember how boring that can be at times.

Hopefully the success of Jayne, Jason and Andy means that more older and/or intelligent HMs are picked next time as well.

Also - PLEASE make it VOTE to SAVE - not EVICT!!

I could have done with more Natalie and Georgina for entertainment's sake.

People don't pick up the phone for boring HMs, only the people that DO SOMETHING get voted whether it's save or evict.

VOTE TO SAVE saves the dramatic HMs
VOTE TO EVICT evicts the dramatic HMs

Wish it were longer and they would've included less Z listers. I can only remember two shopping tasks so they need to work on their originality and I agree with most others in that the outside involvement needs to be stopped.

One of the best civilians ever in my opinion. Normal nominations have dominated, the cast has been amazing and all the twists have been brilliantly executed.

Average tasks, a poorly executed launch night twist, some decent twists thrown in (annihilation week), too much outside interference... None of that matters though, because the cast has been stellar, probably my favourite since BB10. The housemates have carried it, the eviction order hasn't destroyed the series and for once the final is made up of worthy finalists.

Housemates - Largely great, still could do with a touch more diversity (say, replace your Alex clones with another older housemate, maybe someone of a different ethnicity/religion) but all of the early evictees delivered a large dollop of love-to-hate value (or just...hate... ) and whilst Evelyn/Sam/Alex/Jackson have been pretty crap the rest have all been great entertainment, so I'd give them an 8 or a 9/10.
Nominations/Twists - a lot more basic and minimal this year than most recent series and the Lateysha eviction was great and the most tense episode in many years. Another step in the right direction so I'd say 8/10 because there's never going to be a voting system that works to get Jackson out
Tasks - pretty awful on the whole. If it's not gunge, it's gross food, and if it's not gross food it's public polls letting the house know who's liked and who isn't. Or "who do you think is the biggest snake?" group circle nightmares. The only good concept was BB Corps and even then that was tainted by nominations reveals. The housemates are most entertaining when getting stuck into an actual themed task, and I don't even care if they revive old ones because they've run out of new ideas - bring back a farm week, a hospital week, a school week, anything, just stick to it and make them more of a physical strain! And fewer bloody parties 4/10.
Editing/production - Still almost no daily updates and the axing of the live Twitter was a pisstake. That said, the daily episodes have been pretty good on the whole and a lot less tacky in terms of presenting. 6/10.
Designs - amazing titles, amazing eviction set, really nice house. 10/10.

On the whole I'd give the series an 8/10 and probably put it in my top six series of all time (behind BB6, BB5, BB7, BB3 and BB13).

For a series that had near to no live feed and the most truth telling what the public think tasks ever it was amazing

Just shows how much power a cast has over editing and tasks

The twists were better too and didn't feel unnecessary and random like last few years with Helens eviction and 4in4out

I think it'll be looked back on as a classic! (The quality of the cast being the main success.) Coming after BB16, I kind of think of this series as ch5's answer to BB5. If the producers learn what they've done right with it, and improve the things they got wrong, it could get even better next year, so it's made me more hopeful for the future of BB than I was after BB16 (I honestly would have been happy with it being axed, rather than have another series as bad as that) so yeah really positive thoughts overall.
