Default I feel like I want to switch it off already

Been trying to give this season a chance after the dire one last year which I gave up on after 3 weeks, but I'm honestly struggling with this season already and I had hoped C5 would have learned from their mistakes last year.

Is anyone else feeling like this already about the season?

I'm really enjoying it at the moment. Think it's far more entertaining than last years.

Really? I'm quite surprised how much I'm enjoying it, it feels very nostalgic and is taking me back to the C4 days

Everyone knows on here how much I enjoy the drama filled series, hence why I loved BB15 despite all the criticism, but I'm quite liking how relaxed it is at the minute, and on the whole the cast are pretty likeable as people which is more than can be said for last year's bunch. It's been funny, intriguing and a pleasure to watch so far. Obviously I'll need something to kick off soon but so far I've been very impressed.

On reflection, I am finding it hard to watch because there are way too many actors and gamers in there. Its getting very predictable and everytime I see Aaron, I want to slap the screen and pull my hair out.

No. This feels like such a breath of fresh air compared to the frequent display of hostility and misery of BB15

Actually yes Ben, I am finding it really hard to sit through it, there is little happening, the twists are awful and although I like most of the housemates,none really stand out for me.

I am hoping it can only get better.

Yep, if there is 1 more highlight show focussed on he fancies her and she fancies him, it will be time to switch channels for me. I had high hopes for this series, and I like that there have been nearly zero high octane arguments, but the housemates seem to be at such a low intellectual level that they are incapable of raising it above the school yard

I'm really enjoying it, feels like the most 'C4' like series we've had on Channel 5. The only thing that has been crap so far is last Friday's twist.

Surprised people aren't enjoying it. I guess given the way the latest CBB's and BB15 have been though with constant negativity and arguments people must be used to that now and prefer that over what we're getting now with BB16 which is far better imo.
