BB14's cast was largely dull bar like 3 people.

BB13 had a better cast even if it was filled with vile people.

Take away Gina and Hazel and what do you get from BB14?

It's all subjective really

BB13 was full of the same horrid personality.

BB14 had a good mix.

But BB13 had a better cast anyway .

Half of BB14's cast were dull and uninteresting, yet pretty much everyone in BB13 played an important role in the series, even Victoria.

Not really. The series was volatile and nasty because there was a strong divide in the house which stemmed from hatred and personality clashes amongst the housemates. Them being allowed to talk about nominations just meant it benefitted one group more than the other as they were outnumbered.

I mean the two biggest controversies of BB13; Conor's comments towards Deana and Caroline's comments towards Adam had nothing to do with them being allowed to discuss nominations at one point.

You can keep bolding and underlining your opinion - it doesn't make it anything else.

"Important role" depends what you mean. They were all the same.

Pretty much like I feel about BB17. Just the same personality x18.

Whether you found BB14's dull or not, they were a lot more individual.

BB14's cast was more diverse than BB13's. But diverse doesn't mean it'll always be a good cast. On paper, BB13's cast sounds awful but it worked well.

The fact that 90% of BB14's storylines focused around Hazel really showed how crap the cast was, they couldn't even create interesting storylines around themselves, it was all Hazel and partly Gina.

Well for me it was good.

BB13's was like 17's for me. I just can't take to them, they don't keep me interested enough to want to switch on every night.

Yeah, the series long Dexter/Charlie/Callum/Jackie mess revolved around Hazel.

That's why I said 90%, and anyway that wasn't even a good story line, it was dull and repetitive.

Yeah, but it was probably the longest lasting one and had nothing to do with Hazel.

Like legit Conor played a bigger role in BB13 than people like the Twins/Sam/Dan/Sophie played in BB14.

That's saying something

BB14 has a lighter plot and was much more fun, whereas BB13 was darker and heavier.
BB14 was basically around Gina, Dex and Hazel, whereas BB13 had more housemates sharing the highlights (outsiders vs insiders).
So they both have their pros and cons, but they're both great.

Yes, and what an awful role that was.

BB14 is also really dull in the last few weeks whereas BB13 manages to stay entertaining throughout and never has a dull week (apart from week 7 but even that isn't too bad) and that's purely because it's cast can carry it and make it entertaining, even when 3 big characters where evicted in the first 3 weeks.

I suppose it depends on what it takes to entertain you.

Negativity, shouting and arguing all the time gets boring after about two episodes.

I wpuldn't describe BB13 as shouty though, and there wasn't actually all that many arguments

I'd say this series has got a great mix of arguments and humour so far

There's just something about this year stopping me from wanting to watch. I have no interest in any of them.

I didn't like the cast that much at first tbh but they've all turned out interesting imo, well apart from Alex who is one of the dullest housemates ever.

IA. That fits more for BB15.

BB13 was more bitchy if anything
