I gave it my absolute all and stuck by the series through loyalty but I really can't watch anymore. It's such a bad series. I even stuck by the entirety or BB12 but this is just plain awful. I'll watch the odd eviction and the final but other than that, I just can't watch this mess anymore. Who else has done the same?

I've missed the odd episode, more recently especially, so I won't quit altogether but it's not a must see series. If I miss an episode, I miss it.

I am just about where you are Raph,I am sick of this series, the endless meesing with noms and evictions,I am really fed up with it.
It is on in my house but I do find myself wandering from it and this is the first time ever I have been like that for a BB series.

This constant meddling by BB has destroyed this series, if it had any promise at all,I am like you just about done with the whole sorry saga and am looking forward to this series ending.
I see little else to look forward to as to this series now.

Also the power trip for me, has been one of the worst things any production of a BB series has ever had the way it has been played out.

Why on earth would you not watch it? There is nothing else on plus if you don't then you will have nothing to say on the forum and more so have a laugh on BBOTS with Emma.

Its far better than last year. Gina ruined it for me last year and for the first time ever I missed some episodes I will watch it till the final. Even though Kim was my favourite and is now gone I still like Big Brother no matter how good bad or indifferent the housemates are. Once there isn't another Gina I am happy

Tamara was beyond awful and she's still desperately trying to cling on to any sort of fame possible. Best 1st evictee in so many years.

I was going to stop watching until Steven was gone. Once he was out I would catchup and watch episodes back to back, knowing I would be enjoying it in few days. Then Ashleigh got the power so back watching. Steven up, so if no twists where BB save him, he will hopefully go, the only way he could survive is if Helen was up or if BB took him off the list of nominees.

My feeling is "I've started so I'll finish" it has been difficult and I was really pissed of about evicting without the public vote ,it's deffo the last civilian BB I will watch .

Jamesy
21-07-2014, 07:33 PM
I still keep it on the TV every night, even if I do not watch it, just as a way to support the show either way. It's not a terrible series for me though, it's just a bit of a 'meh' series with some good bits inbetween.

what are you talking about? This is the best series ever.

We've had THE most extreme characters EVER.

There have been times during this series that I've despaired (like when they only expose Ashliegh, Chris, Dannielle's bitching, putting them out to dry type thing. That really angered me, because there was so much more from Helen and Ash that they could have shown to the housemates to hang them out to dry.

But not only did Helen have a pass to the final, she also has complete freedom to speak about people behind their backs, while also being on a 'I tell it like it is' crusade. Talk about double standards!), - but this latest twist has got me interested again.

You see, the psychology of Big Brother is what grips me. And I relate it to everyday life. That's what makes it so good.

And in everyday life, we always want the good guys to win, don't we?

And in this house, there is no doubt who the good guys are and who the bad guys are.

I'm hoping Ashleigh and Chris don't let the 'good guys' side down.

Sigh.

They will ALWAYS twist the nomination process so you may as well just get over it.

It's a lot more interesting that Nominations aren't straight forward

Quite why fans moan and moan that they want straightforward nominations and evictions is beyond me.

Evaluate if they religiously did it the way they want then in a week or two they'd be screaming for a shake up

This is a very strong series

Very unusual dynamics and quite unpredictable with how it's proceeded

Bored of the hate now

Go and watch something else and leve us to enjoy it

There's a fine line. If they want to revamp the nomination/eviction process then go ahead, I don't mind.

However, it must stay fair and consistent throughout. Not changing on a whim at the last minute week after week. That's not entertaining, it's annoying.

So revamp the process, just not every week. Like BB Aus changed their noms system, and stuck to it, not switching it around on the fly.

Twists themselves are good, but they only worked originally because they were unexpected, they were effective and were infrequent. Changing the rules every week doesn't make the show better nor is it good to watch.

This year Helen's pass and Jale's killer nom have been the only consistency.

skip episodes as I can't deal with the ads, this is because daniel lewis thought it was okay to stop uploading the mini episodes so he's basically fked everything up."

Yes, but being that it's a forum made for Big Brother, one would assume of the active members, the viewing percentage would be higher, that's all. Not to mention the fact that just because one is in the 70% doesn't mean one is "very much enjoying the series".

I've been watching evictions and one or two other episodes if there's downtime during a day off (sky+). Other than that I can't be bothered.

I can also only assume that NOTHING IS HAPPENING - because despite only watching 2 or 3 episodes out of 7 each week, I don't feel like I've missed anything?

The only thing that spoils it is the confident power of Helen because of the free pass. Take that from her, and it will be totally different.
I agree with the poster who likens her to the wicked witch of the east with the flying monkeys as her henchmen.

I'm still watching it every night, if I miss it i'll just catch up later. I think it's really good this year, very different from previous series because it is so much more like a game show, which I'm liking it. I don't think they will do the same thing next series though. But yeah, I'm still enjoying it, it has got a lot better since Kim/Marlon has gone. Nothing compares to how dire BB13 was for me... I couldn't care less who won or if I even watched it. Poor housemates! But this year I'm finding most of them, apart from Ash, likeable. I couldn't say who could be in the final!

For me too, there really hasn't been one week this series with normal noms and a normal eviction the following friday,there has always been some manipulation and 'other' twist.

More than anything else, that has destroyed my enjoyment as to viewing this series of BB.

Hate to say it, but if the BB producers don't want him to go then they will introduce another eviction night "twist" that allows him to be saved/replaced/deferred/secret room etc... etc...

Who goes..........you decide ?

But what's the point when we (audience) have no control over who is evicted. we can decide nothing and having a favourite is good until he/she is kicked out of the house on the flip of a coin or the say so of one ex HM.

It's total bonkers and rather pointless as a show. Not having any rules kinda makes the whole thing a complete waste of time.

I'd already lost most of my interest in the series throughout the week prior to his eviction anyway; the eviction was just the final straw.
