I think out of the 13 week series, BB7 holds it up the best. Well compared to BB8 it does anyway where the show completely dies post Charley/Chanelle. Idr BB9/10.
But it's not just post Nikki weeks why do people always presume that lolk the second dullest week is probably the HND week imo. Lea vs Aisleyne vs Nikki is the last confrontation in weeks. That plus dull housemates it was bound to get dull, on top of that good housemates getting evicted.

BB7 could have so easily been the best series ever with a better eviction order and if it was three weeks less.

Jennie and Jayne had a big blowup the following week, and Nikki/Spiral

I think it does tbh. I didn't like the last three weeks very much. It just dragged.

I'd actually say it gets boring post-Jayne, but even then Susie comes from out of nowhere and shines like the star she is She isn't capable of carrying the show on her own tho bless her, and Aisleyne gets slightly less airtime once she hears the crowd chanting her out.

Richard/Pete/Mikey/Glyn all get wayyyy too much airtime (and I still have 2 weeks left before I've finished my rewatch too )

Compared to today's standards, no it doesn't. Obviously there's a clear dip in entertainment during the last few weeks but that's to be expected with most series

BB7 went down very sharply after four weeks. Most of the energy in the first four weeks came from Sezer and Grace. The producers wanted big evictions to counter the Love Island series on ITV so they engineered these two evictions. Trouble is, they forgot that you need certain characters, whether you like them or not, to pace the series along.

Aisleyne was all mouth but not much action. She would have loved a showmance but neither Sezer or Mikey showed any interest in her and she was not interested in Pete.

Nikki got on my nerves after a while and was putting on her tantrums towards the end of her stay.

Richard had no-one to play off after Sezer left (which he has admitted to me privately) and, apart from his daily diaryroom monologues, had nothing else to give.

Pete had shown everything he had in the first couple of days and didn't really show that much afterwards.

Most BBs tend to lose steam near the end.

Could have been the best series ever if Aisleyne and Sam were the only newbies and it was 10 weeks

I use but she wouldn't have been needed if the eviction order was better

I LOVED Jayne on BB7, she was such a troll. I think if she'd have stayed it would have been more entertaining. I wouldn't say BB7 got dull, but when I think of some of the things I thought were entertaining (jayne and spiral during their exam task, jayne calling aisleyne a bull****ter and denying it after [messy </3], glyn and pete in the showers, Nikki in the DR) I realized that they weren't really that entertaining compared to other seasons tbh

Finished my rewatch, I think the first half definitely has the stand-out moments, but the second half has lots of little moments, so it's still entertaining but just not in the same way

Except Grace and Sezer were both long gone before Love Island even began airing.

I've just watched it again.

I'd say it had the potential to be the best ever BB, but a few major things happened that took it in a direction for the worse.

First, Sezer being evicted. Sezer had just nights earlier dethroned Richard as the alpha of the house. Lea would have been best to go on that eviction, Sezer had so much to offer that series, and all Lea offered was feeling sorry for herself and crying.

Second, The Golden housemate Susie, and her putting up Grace and Nikki for eviction. Either way we would lose one of the two best girls in the series.

Third, Nikki being evicted out in an eleven horse race. How could they evict her over the likes of Susie, Spiral or Mikey? What sort of show did they want to watch?



And Glyn should have won, his journey in the house was better than anyone's, in any Big brother. Once the novelty of Pete's tourettes had worn off (which it did after a week) he was fairly boring. Pete won because of his disability, which is just wrong.

The week after Nikki's eviction was awful, she was such a huge character the house felt deflated.

I think the last week though tops it, I can still remember how irritable and stressed I felt watching the live feed... possibly that series was too long?

With the exception of the prison task and the automated Big Brother task, it does get dull after Nikki's eviction. There were some episodes that completely dragged on and on.
