But the first three weeks of BB9, and also the first few weeks of the House Divide, and also Nicole's presence were fantastic periods.

Yeah, Rex got his comeuppance though, with the Get Rex Out chants during Lisa's eviction!

I've forgotten so much of this series! You're making me want to rewatch it

It seems to be pretty underrated on here!

Welp @ Steph being on Pop Idol, BB and XF

[andybigbro]

One of my face series

[TomC]

^ And me.

[Ashley.]

Good at the time, bad in hindsight. Nicole was the last straw.

[Jason.]

I found it boring at the time iirc

[Daniel.]

I liked it at the time, but the house divide story was done better in BB3, BB5, BB6, BB7 and BB13, so yeah pretty much better than every other divide story bar 15 was better.

No interesting or big characters, nothing original, BB3 did rich and poor better, so yeah.

It's underrated on here

My favourite series (might be biased as it was my first ukbb series.. Have gone back and watched the older ones though from 5 onwards).
Only a few dead weight housemates and minimal dull periods.
Great balance of nice housemates & bitchy housemates and not really any dominating characters like Marc (although that season needed) or Shahbaz... And no super obvious fame *****s like Ryan from the last civvie series.
I don't get the Rex hate really either... He was a miserable git but his influence in the house definitely added to the series... Maybe the most of all that year

She was barely on each of them, poor girl

Seems like each of them she got through all the rigorous audition processes to be sent home early each time

[Samm]

mess, wasn't she on BGT as well actually?

[Jake.]

Really want to give it another watch, remember liking it at the time and the housemates are a strong group

[Shaun]

Really liked it but everyone who says the crap HMs were evicted early on is tragically overlooking Darnell, Rex and Kathreya. All awful.

The series final 5 should've been Rachel, Lisa, Sara, Mario & Mikey. I mean I preferred Belinda to Rachel/Mikey but she was a lost cause.

[caprimint]

It was the first series I really remember watching properly and I loved it. I enjoyed Dale and Jenn's showmance and Sara and her gorgeous accent.

I also really liked Nicole despite her getting the highest eviction percentage ever iirc.

IA. BB9 is one of those series where the people you originally rooted for in the early weeks slowly turn out to be just as bad, if not worse than the ones you hated in the earlier weeks (Alexandra, Sylvia, Jen, Bex etc)

I enjoyed Rex at the time but I do understand why some people dislike him. Darnell was awful as was Mo. Kathreya sucked as well and is beyond overrated. I prefer most the WC to those three.

BB9 is one of the more nastier series imo.

[Shaun]

Mo was OK I think but got roped into the divide and desperately wanted to be liked by the big boys.
