I just finished BB8, and...

[iRyan]

I absolutely loved it, to my suprise! I heard such bad things about it and expected it to suck but decided to watch anyway just for Charley, but to my suprise it was actually very enjoyable and totally underrated. No way is it '****' by any means.

Yes it had its dull moments near the end, but as a whole it was a great series with many great housemates. Everybody was quite memorable and it was a generally a very fun series with great memories. I don't understand all the hate for it at all, but I guess it's the fact that it came after BB5, BB6, and BB7 (3 OMGAMAZING seires) so it didn't look as good in comparison. But it was definitely better than BB11 and I know people disagree with me but I may have slightly enjoyed it more than BB9 even.

If I were you, and you haven't seen BB8 since it first aired, I would give it a rewatch. At least up until Charley and Chanelle leaves. It will be worth it, it's HIGHLY entertaining.

I absolutely adored most of the girls, it just the guys were the worst in history of the show. I could of jump over the house wall and murdered Ziggy that summer.

lmfao Chanelle :love:

"dont spit all over yourself you scruffy little slut"

Samanda,Chanelle, Charley and Brian were such good housemates tbh. Even if brian turned into an annoying person after

I couldn't stand Ziggy while Chanelle was there but after she left I actually began to kind of like him. People like TRACEY I couldn't stand, especially seeing her get cheered made my blood boil :joker: I wanted to see her boo'd so badly.

Tracey, Laura, and Carole are the only ones that really got on my nerves but sometimes I did like Carole when she was having fun.

[Tom]

BB8 was good but it felt like the producers were making it up as they went along, plus it was tame in comparison to BB7 so I think thats why people don't like it that much

[Harry!]

My all time fave series ever :love:

[Smithy]

Chanelle :love:

[reece(:]

I liked BB8, just it got quite boring for me when Nicky, Charley + Chanelle left

I liked Amy too but she only lasted like 10 days

[M X]

I remember absolutely loving BB8 at the time. One of my favourites.

Love it, I need to watch again!

[lahaine]

I get the feeling some of you are young 'un's.
This BB sucked badly and was the downfall of its run om C4

[Jack_]

I hated BB8 at the time but as someone in this thread has pointed out, I think it's because it followed BB7 (and BB6 before it) and could in no way have lived up to it.

Thinking back it wasn't actually that bad.

[Vanessa]

Charlie and Chanelle rivalry was so funny! :joker:

[swinearefine]

BB8 was amazing. The first month is my absolute favorite chunk of Big Brother. It did progressively go downhill after that though and the last few weeks are the worst weeks of BB. I have no idea why people refuse to accept that Charley, Shabnam, Emily, Nicky, Billi, Seany, Leslie, Chanelle, Jonathan, Shanessa, Gerry, etc. were such amazing housemates.

[iRyan]

The first week of BB8 was the best ever first week of BB IMO. There was constant, non-stop drama which I loved.

I still think it's amazing how long Charley lasted and how she was able to avoid being nominated 6 times.

[Saph]

BB8 is my favourite series :love:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

omg what the hell

[Conor]

omg other people like BB8 :shocked: 3rd best series after 5/6

[Flamingjoe]

BB8 was really good up until Charley was evicted and Channelle walked.

Yes, it's because it ended 'The Golden Years' - I mean you had BB5, BB6, BB7 and then BB8 kinda popped up all camp - and then BB9 came along and was amazing so I guess that's why BB8 is still looked down upon.

[reece(:]

BB8 is my favourite series :love:

:worship:

[iRyan]

BB8 had alot going against it, following the 3 best series ever and the controversial race-row which left people with a very bitter taste in their mouth. But if you look at it now or watch it now as a standalone series, it's fantastic. Just had very bad timing.

There were alot of great housemates. The only true filler were the Halfway Housemates, but even with them I liked Amy. And Jonty and Shanessa were entertaining in a car-crash, cringing kind of way. Oh and Liam was boring filler as well but he was a decent guy.

Charley, Chanelle, Shabnam, Ziggy, Brian, Sam & Amanda, Lesley, Emily, Gerry, Jonathan, and Nicky were great. Couldn't stand Billi but he was fairly entertaining as well.

[reece(:]

There were more entertaining ones than bores, the only bores that come to mind are Liam,Gerry,Kara-Louise,Jonty.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Loved it then, still love it now :lovedup:

I tried to re-watch it a few months ago, only got a few weeks in, it was unwatchable.

That's just silly, week 1 is the best first week of ANY big brother.

[Flamingjoe]

My fifth favourite ever series. :love:

[Jayson]

BB7's first week > any full series of Big Brother ever

[Gstar]

That's just silly, week 1 is the best first week of ANY big brother.

BB6 also had a stunning first week (Makosi's mission and about a million arguments)

Nice to see some BB8 love on here though

[reece(:]

6,7 also had phenomenal first weeks.

[BeloTheBelt]

Loved BB8. Without doubt my favourite series.
Dont understand the hostility on this site generally for it but everyones different.
Best of all was Brian Belo who was hilarious.
Again i know lots of hostility for him on here and accusations of being fake etc

[james130]

I just think I didn't like it because it came after CBB5, so it just seemed quite controlled and not as entertaining after BB7.

[Shaun]

the girls launch twist was so ridiculous and unnecessary, and interrupted the series

There were a lot of boring housemates: Samanda (really, beyond their stupidity, there was nothing to them), Nicky (grumpy, tiresome bitch), Kara-Louise (who), Liam (who), Jonathan (who), Laura (basically Wolfy Mk. I - promised a lot, delivered nothing), Shanessa and David (just creepy, weird people who arrived too late to make an impact), Amy (token bimbo), Tracey (just sat around smoking finding everyone else's vibes weird to her LCD-fried head) and Seany (ooh he pushed a girl in the pool and wore everything from New Look at once, how exciting).

[Macie Lightfoot]

Samanda <3 Nicky <3 Kara-Louise <3 Laura <3 Amy <3 Tracey <3

They should've just kept it all females tbh

[Black Dagger]

Just watched the launch again. Emily goddess saying the N word and getting herself ejected s0b, her VT was lovely and Queen Lesley, still annoys me that Seany made her walk, tosspot.

[Vanessa]

It was a great series. Chanelle and Charley rivalry was hilarious! :joker:

Shame it wasn't a few weeks shorter and that Carole and Gerry had never been cast

[Daniel.]

Charley's VT is my favourite ever :lovedup:

VRtagZ-x8Yw

[reece(:]

Am I being in the minority that I enjoyed Carole? Especially towards the end, only her Kara and Tracey kept me going.

That argument Carole had with Gerry was divine (cos he eternally sucked)

iHSDP2tjsSw

[Daniel.]

Video doesn't work :/

But yeah the only good thing Carole did was turn on Gerry and her relationship with Charley was good

[Headie]

Carole was great in the first week but after that she brought so much negativity to the series.

I think people have BB8 so low because the house design was so small and it felt very repetetive seeing the same room over and over again for most of each episode. It's still one of my favourite house designs but I wish they had added more rooms.

Oh and Charley >>>>>>>>>>>> Chanelle

[Me. I Am Salman]

BB7's first week > any full series of Big Brother ever

this absolutely

[Daniel.]

I think it's rated low because it just seemed a massive mess really, drip feeding in male hm's, giving 100k out randomly, the secret room which rules kept changing, Emily's ejection etc

Carole was in control and her and Gerry,, Ziggy, Liam etc were the main group tha lasted till the end whilst the far superior Charley/Nicky/Shabnam group were all gone by week 8. Oh and Charley and Chanelle leaving in the space of a few days completely ruined it and it really was dull for the last month.

Having said that, Ii did enjoy it and Charley is a top 20 hm of mine and the first half is actually really good, entertainment/drama wise, even if the production was a mess.

[Jordan.]

It was trash but there's been a lot worse since then (BB11 & BB12)

[Me. I Am Salman]

Whoever prefers BB10 to BB8 is trash

[Daniel.]

8 isn't even a patch on 10 tbh

Nope, BB8 had way better tasks, way better housemates, way better production even tbh production got a little bit bad after BB7

[Liam-]

BB8 was truly awful, the housemates were all dull apart from Charley

[Samm]

BB10 cast > every cast except 5, 6 and 7

Siavash, Charlie, Marcus, Freddie, Kenneth, Kris, Sree http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y263/ruby_fire/Smilies/sicksmilie.gif

It also loss Sophia & Beinazir the two best housemates so early

Charley alone is scum of the earth.

She is responsible for all the evils in the world.

It was such a great series. Love it! :flutter:

Nicky, Laura, Emily, Lesley, Carole, Shabnam shade?

[Liam-]

Nicky, Laura, Emily, Lesley, Carole, Shabnam shade?

indeed... apart from Emily, she could have been good if she didn't get kicked out, but the rest of the cast, especially the men, were dire

[Cal.]

Loved it so much:love:

[Cal.]

Charley and Chanelle basically made it though, if those two were in BB6 or 7:love:
