hhhmmm CBB9 was my favourite so far. Bit hard to judge this series already but I have a feeling they have a great bunch of HMs in there

Thanks for playing :)

I agree CBB9 is my fave so far. I think with CBB8 C5 didn't really know what they were doing but with CBB9 back in its traditional January slot away from a summer series, over the usual 23 days and with a decent line-up ranging from a Hollywood star to an X Factor contestant.

IMO CBB10 should have been in January and while I recognised half of the line-up, the other half I did not and it wasn't as engaging. CBB11 looks like it has potential, just wish there were at least 1 or 2 more faces in there that we'd read about
