I think it's not the worst, but there's a lot I haven't liked about it. Sometimes I think they just have to mess it up a bit, or the old format will get old. It would be nice, next year, to go back to the original idea, though. I liked it a lot better when Channel 4 had the series, though. And I can remember when people talking about nominations would get punished, and whatever said in the diary room was confidential. Now, people just do whatever they want, and if they try to follow the "rules", they screw them over, throw them out, or accuse them of being too boring.

Personally, I don't really like watching people fight. I mean, if I want to watch people fight, I can just go to a rowdy bar. I think this could have been a good series, if they had just left it alone and ran it normal. Also, if they want to keep the most interesting people, they should have a vote to save, rather than to evict.

Lost all direction after 4 in 4 out and became a weird parody of itself with old HMs and structured reality stars taking centre stage and show staples like nominations becoming nominations in name only. Every day and every week has to have something new and exciting happening, all of which have nothing to do with the actual housemates, and once again the focus seems to be on the belief that arguments are the only thing people are interested in, leading to harrowing uncomfortable hours of television where you can see people becoming emotionally unhinged and others getting lauded for their abilities to hurt other people and not react like normal human beings.

An overrealiance on nostalgia and past tropes, such as Helens toxicity, Nikki's eccentricity and Brian's naivety have backfired supremely, as those people have either grown and changed or completely corrupted the house dynamic, if there ever was one to begin with. It's left us with a show that doesn't know what it is and is barely treading water at this point, it's not got enough development to be a regular series, and it doesn't have enough all stars to be an all star series. The half measured twists, tasks and rule enforcement as well as fairly blatant manipulation have stunted the growth of any actual interaction, with housemates almost afraid to do anything "normal". The housemates don't know what they're doing, the producers don't know what they're doing, and the viewers are left struggling to piece together the wreckage.
