Worst finalists ever! = Worst BB

[camertone]

Worst finalists ever!!
All remaining housemates are boring and dull, not likeable. The worst collection of finalists, which concludes that this year's bb was one of the worst bb ever.

[Amy Jade]

The only ones I would call bores are Danny, Chloe and Cristian tbh

[sampvt]

bores and uninteresting plus danny, chloe, nick and hoel are real unlikble a holes.

[abhorson]

No bigger bores than Chloe and Sam.

[Jack_]

Not when BB11 exists. Only Josie deserved her place that year, we were robbed of one of the best and most unpredictable finals thanks to the worst twist in BBUK history.

Chloe and Sam are the only real bores this year, the rest would be bores in other years but that's only cause this is an average year.

Eh?
I forgot Danny and Cristian have been riveting viewing over the past 56 days. :rolleyes:

[GLENN BILL BB7]

They are all Boring just some aren't as boring as others lol

Big Brother needs to put in a more diverse cast in future.

As I have already explained to you in another thread, Danny was a bore but is no longer since in the latter half of this series he's been pretty involved.

Cristian is on the border, I used to think he was the series bore but he did have a few storylines in the first couple of weeks before disappearing, and then he has reappeared sporadically over the last few weeks once taking offence at being nominated.

He has done far more than Chloe and Sam, that much is for sure.

[REDCROP]

Danny, Christian, Sam....typical of the celebrity culture....think they have a right to be famous for doing nothing...so that is exactly what they gave us...Nothing
If Marc hadn't entered the house no one would have even noticed Danny....Marc did him a favour
And Cloe might as well have just hooked a camera up in her bedroom at home.....the epic-centre of boredom.....till the money came out and then she turned on her friends and turned into a c--t

Harry....Jack....Joel....Nick...

I agree they are one of the worst sets of finalists but I don't think this years BB was one of the worst. I only wish Adjoa Eileen and Jade were still in there as they were by far the best of the girls

[REDCROP]

They were nearly all the same age group....too young....they got along so well for that reason.....it was like a free club 18 to 25 holiday camp with the daddy of the house being Danny and Marc at the ripe old age of 28....how can that ever be interesting ?

Chloe is much less of a bore than most of them tbf.

And as for Simon, he was the most immature of the lot of em......mental age of 12

The only 3 people who had actually lived an interesting life that didn't just revolve around hair spray and gossip mags were Marc, Jade and Eileen and the viewers voted them off the show

[Daniel-X]

It's not the worst set of finalists but it's up there with the worst it's a bit better than some years like BB13 which was a great year apart from the finalists really let it down. BB12 had really bad finalists also.

BB11 is by far the worst finalist bunch ever though I mean seriously that was horrific

[Macie Lightfoot]

BB13 had arguably the best set of finalists <3

[Daniel-X]

BB13 had arguably the best set of finalists <3

Really? Luke S, Sara, Deana, Adam and Luke A. Deana was the only one who had contributed enough to be worthy of being in the final in my eyes

Airtime does not equal entertainment. Just because he's been shown a lot it doesn't mean what he's doing is actually entertaining.
If taking offense to being nominated is what you call entertaining, then well I have no words.

Judging by your favourites, you seem to fall for the housemates C5 milk for all the manufactured controversy. A la Perez and Marc. Might explain why you think BB15 is a good series. :whistle:

I still don't understand why they ended the last C4 series of Big Brother like that. A double eviction and a 7-way finale would've been enough. I'd rather watch 7 of them than the 4 bores that we ended up with.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Luke Scrase probably has the most hilarious story arc in C5 BB and everyone was in on the joke but him, Sara was a fun random and good Deana ally, and Adam and Luke A were righteous and trolled the Insiders a lot. Obviously I would've preferred a Deana win, but it was a perfect set of finalists with the correct fifth place and fourth place, and any of the final three would be a serviceable winner. Like, Luke A as a winner is most definitely a placeholder for Deana, but it's still a much more palatable option than any of the Outsiders winning, and Luke A is probably my second or third favorite winner in BBUK because this show has had awful winners.

[Macie Lightfoot]

I definitely agree. Quality over quantity. It's why I'll always prefer someone like Hira, who received next to no airtime but was always hilarious when shown, to someone like Marcus or Dexter, who received way too much airtime for their own good and didn't do anything with it.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

The only 2 that are really annoying me are Jack & Danny

:clap1:

Don't even get me started on those who are shoved down our throats constantly by the producers like Perez, Hopkins, or Marc, when realistically they were just irritants, who C5 kept milking when nothing was ever there just to garner some controversy and/or conflict.

Pls explain. I remember him and that series (vaguely) but can't for the life of me work out what you mean by this (genuine enquiry; not being ****ty)

Luke S and Ashleigh are probably my favorite showmance EVER because it was so transparently fake and ended up being treated with utter derision by the HMs, by the public, by production, and even by Ashleigh herself in the end. Like, they both entered their showmance equally cynical about it all and by the second half of the series it becomes super obvious that if each were left to their own decides, Ashleigh would much rather be ****ing Conor and Luke S would much rather be ****ing Lauren. This led to an Luke getting buried at almost every occasion and it was an amazing humiliatoin arc, from Ashleigh taunting him that he must have a small penis because he can cross his legs and Conor must have a large penis because he can't, the fact that someone believed Barbell Media was a real thing thirteen series into this show, Ashleigh complaining that Luke smells like onions, the entire fallout of the White Room with Deana drunkenly tormenting Luke for a whole week, etc. I strongly believe that Luke S is the HM who improves the most on a BB13 rewatch.

[camertone]

hard to pick a winner from equally boring bunch.

[ash2012]

tbh jack provided more than chloe and danny has im no jack fan but ill be happy if he wins over christian/danny and chloe the three stooges

I never said it did, because if it did then that would mean I think every series is always entertaining constantly, and quite obviously they aren't or else I wouldn't complain when it's crap. However, the housemates that are given airtime are usually the people who are providing the most entertainment, bringing the most to the show and are the people the editors believe will create the storylines that will provide discussion for forums, viewers, BOTS, etc. When we had live feed we could obviously cross check the edit but now we don't all we have to go on is the 48 minutes we're given, and quite frankly hypothesising that other housemates ~might~ be doing stuff but just aren't shown is just pointless. We aren't seeing it, so chances are it's not worth watching. Supporting housemates based on an idea that 'hey, you never know they might be entertaining if they were shown!' is just a silly idea that would ultimately destroy the show if everyone took that approach.

Not in the slightest, I've been a fan of housemates who provided drama and contributed to the series for as long as I can remember; John James, Rex, Charley, Makosi, the list goes on. I'm more than aware of the manufactured divides and one vs one storylines C5 seem desperate to create and have made that clear on several occasions, but that doesn't mean that the housemates involved aren't entertaining or good housemates. People may on here may have not enjoyed the Perez/Hopkins storyline but CBB15 did extremely well ratings wise so...

And BB15 was a good series and really underrated. For a start it has the most deserving final two in the history of BBUK (and the first all female one which was completely fitting) so that automatically gives it points, it had messy and hilarious storylines like Steven and Kimberly and other divides like Helen and Ashleigh which split the fanbase, as well as big characters in other ways like Mark, or Toya. It was shambolically produced but not half as much as BB16.

As for taking offence to being nominated being entertaining...well obviously, why wouldn't it be? What could be more boring than them all sitting around and going 'oh yeah guys don't worry about it it's fine! :)'. Of course they're self entitled twats that need to get over it when they do get nominated, no one's denying that, but I'd still rather housemates get annoyed at being nominated than take it on the chin...of what benefit is that to the show?

I still don't understand why they ended the last C4 series of Big Brother like that. A double eviction and a 7-way finale would've been enough. I'd rather watch 7 of them than the 4 bores that we ended up with.

It was PEJ's last **** you to the fans and a way to engineer a Josie win, and it still pisses me off to this day. It wasn't so much the quad eviction that was the problem, it was the fact they didn't make it a vote to save (or hell, even a vote to win, we were a week off the final) because that would have rid us of the deadwood that didn't deserve to be there and given us the most unpredictable and deserving bunch of finalists consisting of Josie, John James, Sam and Corin...and Steve, but who cares about him?

[RodHull]

Chloe is much less of a bore than most of them tbf.

Examples??

Until they showed her the money this week you were lucky to see her say more than 2 things per show unless Marc was antagonizing her.

As to the OP

Yes it is one of the worst, im convinced the whole time warp HMs and hotel BB was cause they knew they had a terrible house and badly attempted to inject some controversy in there.

If Helen, Ash, Nikki et al hadnt gone in the last 3 weeks would have literally been so boring, like BB4 boring.

[Macie Lightfoot]

to be fair, I really don't think the editors could give a **** what gets discussed on forums like this and DS. Like, they really do not give a ****, and that's if they even know we exist. So many people acknowledged that last year was a complete disaster all around but optimistically wrote it off as a one-time fluke, but then this year we found out that this is what the producers want it's incredibly disheartening. The producers care a hell of a lot more about their own agenda and promoting their own set of values onto us (make no mistake about it, this show definitely espouses a set of core values) than what people on forums are saying. The ratings for BB16 have been a mess and they've just been trying random **** to fix it without any rhyme or reason and thus we were left with the Human Centipede equivalent of BBUK.

As for BB15, even if you're a fan of the final two (I think Helen sucks so that doesn't even help my opinion of the series) the journey to get there is soooo unenjoyable and not worth it. Production was horrible as stated, the cast was the most unlikable ever and consisted of a core group of vapid people who openly disliked anyone who didn't resemble the physical embodiment of high school cool, and the series always felt like it was going to collapse under the pressure of its own terribleness. That was finally reached after Armageddon because those last four weeks with Pav and Zoe and Biannca are some of the worst ever in BBUK history. It's also worth mentioning that Steven/Kimberly are absolutely the most emotionally abusive showmance in the show's history, and that sure is a ****ing feat considering this show produced gems (alol I accidentally typed Jem <3) like Aaron/Faye and Ziggy/Chanelle. Poor Kim, indeed.

They don't give a **** what we think, on that I agree. That's evidenced by the fact that they continually ignore what the fans on forums want production wise, I don't deny that. But they definitely do care that we are talking. All they want is for us to talk, and the fact that they continue to pedal out ridiculously contrived tasks and twists designed to stir up drama and controversy is testament to that. Hell, people have even gone so far as to say Aaron's ejection was a publicity stunt. They are desperate for controversy, desperate for people to be talking about the show, desperate for press attention. They absolutely do care that we are talking about it, they just don't care whether it's positive or negative.

I personally enjoyed BB15 though, nearly all of them were unlikeable but like I've said before, I'm not looking for a new best friend on Big Brother, I don't live with them and so I certainly don't need to, or to be honest want to, relate to people on a TV show I watch for 48 minutes a night. As long as they're providing me with a reason to come on here and talk about the show, or do so in real life, and giving me a bit of escapism when I watch the show that's all I really care about. And last year the cast certainly did that. I won't deny it was an exhausting series and it's one I would never watch again, but in the months after it finished I realised it really wasn't that bad and I put a lot of weight on the eviction/finalist orders to help determine what I think overall of a series, and they were near perfect last year.

Agree with this... for me I dont understand the whole 'that person is horrible' evict them' mentality.

As long as they provide some form of talking point they serve their purpose on the show, unlike the bores who float along doing sod all and giving us nothing.

I get what you're saying about not looking for a new best friend or a roommate, but like... this show is a bit of an endeavor to watch. It's on every day and you have to set aside time to watch so that you don't fall too far behind. It's a show of large volume and you need to be able to commit at least a little to it all. For a lot of us that involves stuff like forming opinions of HMs, investing in the house dynamics, all that stuff. But with BB15 I found that I hated most of them and didn't enjoy watching them at all. I was not enamored by Helen "telling it how it fookin is" and using that as an excuse to be an unmitigated asshole to people who she deemed uncool, I could not bear to watch Steven forbid Kimberly from returning to her apartment and demand that she sever all contact with anyone she's ever dated and force her to destroy pictures of her ex, I certainly could not watch Kimberly actually comply with all of that ****, I found idiots like Ash and Winston and Marlon to be incredibly tedious, I couldn't stand Mark's emotional trench warfare with Christopher and the **** he tried to pull on Chris with the prize fund, you get the idea.

There was next to nothing for me to enjoy and I felt like each episode was a waste of time the series just offered nothing for me. I had a similar experience with the latest Survivor season, but that's a show of much volume and it was obvious that there was a narratively satisfying ending. For BB15, not only did I find the end result to be incredibly underwhelming but I was disappointed to realize that it's an ending that the show actively endorses. Like, it's not lost on me that the only person outside of Helen's clique who has appeared on BOTS was Matthew (who only appeared since he's dating Mark), yet we've seen multiple appearances from Mark and Steven and have also seen Ash and Biannca and Helen. Like, the MO of this show has become thoughtless and baseless conflict, and both people and the program become labeled as boring and too nice and all that really means is "the show is currently lacking a certain type of forced and unimaginable conflict and that's the only kind of conflict that makes a good show." I don't know, I always thought that BB15 was **** but with everything that happened this series it only makes me reflect on BB15 even more critically since I think it caused a lot of the terrible stuff in BB16 to happen.

tl;dr this show is long to watch and lately the producers have been promoting and celebrating a lot of values that are direct contrast to mine, and it has led me to question my relationship with a show I once loved.

[Razor]

It's BB3 all over again.
