Do you like BB14?

[Daniel.]

Just wondering because although I enjoyed it for the most part I find it so overrated, only Gina, Hazel and Sallie were good really.

BB13 is a million miles better imo.

[Jake.]

no not really

[Oaker]

I like it - it's better than some of Channel 4's last series, but it doesn't even come close to BB13.

[Daniel.]

why

[Daniel.]

It's the second best C5 civilian series but very overrated

[Oaker]

It's the second best C5 civilian series but very overrated

Yeah, the only thing better about 14 over 13 is the eviction order imo.

[Ross.]

My favourite Channel 5 series and the last time I actually enjoyed a whole BB series.

[Liam-]

It's easily the best C5 series by a mile

[Firewire]

Nothing special but I enjoyed it

[Daniel.]

Yeah, the only thing better about 14 over 13 is the eviction order imo.

Sallie first though </3

But yeah I agree, not too bothered because my favourite (Deana) lasted until the end.

[Daniel.]

It's easily the best C5 series by a mile

No it isn't, BB13 is.

[Black Dagger]

Like it.

Worst male winner ever though.

[zakman440]

One of the best series on Channel 5, plus it had Live Feed.

[Pete.]

Love it. There were so many interesting storylines and characters which helped to carry the show. The producers successfully re-launched the 'bedsit' scenario with great success because of Gina and Dexter. Also big characters like Gina and Hazel were miraculously kept in!

The only thing negative really was the shockingly bad mole task which should have been executed perfectly because they had 14 years to think up a good way to integrate a mole into the game but it was just bad and robbed us of Sallie

[Pete.]

Also Emma was fresh and seemed to be enjoying the show

[Daniel.]

What storylines apart from Gina vs Hazel and the TRASH love triangle?

http://cdn.thisisbigbrother.com/customavatars/avatar82167_35.gif.

[Jake.]

why

Mainly because it was where the whole production issues started to come into play (not as obvious as BB15 but still) and Gina. I know it might sound silly to not enjoy a series because of one housemate but yeah, thought she was an awful person and the way she was lapped up was horrid.

[Lostie!]

Very average and extremely overrated IMO. Definitely some stuff I really enjoyed, but on the whole it just didn't compell me much at all.

[Jake.]

I appreciated the fact that they stuck in some live feed, mind

[Oaker]

I didn't like that in the first week some of the Housemates didn't shut up about the Secrets and Lies theme, they shouldn't have told them about it imo.

[speedking]

Dexter, Hazel , Gina made BB14 a pretty decent BB.

[Lostie!]

Oh god yeah, Gina's popularity was a big factor in my disinterest in the series too. I actually stopped watching originally (around halfway) but eventually went back and watched the second half the following year (when I knew she didn't win :laugh:).

[Oaker]

Didn't it have the stupid Sam vs Sophie thing, where Sophie kept saying Sam didn't like her over and over again?

[Daniel.]

I agree about the twists, I thought Gina was one of the few good housemates in the series though.

How gripping

Same here, completely un-likeable housemate who didn't do anything for me, entertainment wise.

[Oaker]

How gripping

Yeah, it was awful.

[Liam-]

Gina being a big part of the show was the only negative I have from the series, the public adoration of her was intolerable most of the time, but apart from that I really enjoyed it.

[Ross.]

Also Emma was fresh and seemed to be enjoying the show

Emma's first series. :flutter:

[Pete.]

Why the Gina shade?

[Shaun]

Meant to click dislike oops.

Dexter and Gina were crap. Calum was crap. Twins were crap. Sophie was crap. Sam was a bit crap and the default winner bc everyone else was so terrible (except Saint charlie who had already been assassinated as 'woman a man has fallen for and thus must be evil' fodder by that point)

Jemima and Jackie were the true winners.

[Lostie!]

Why the Gina shade?

Because I thought she was quite an unpleasant person and totally underserving of the adoration she received.

[Jake.]

Why the Gina shade?

I prefer a series where one housemate isn't constantly shoved down our throats. Shame, we've had it for the past 3 years now.

[Pete.]

Emma's first series. :flutter:
Her look was always on point and she made the evictions more of an event at the time. The Wolfy eviction was amazing because of the amount of press attention focused on Hazel's 'inevitable' exit and if she'd get beaten up lol

[Jake.]

[Oaker]

Hazel surviving eviction twice in VTE :love:

[Pete.]

Because I thought she was quite an unpleasant person and totally underserving of the adoration she received.
When was she unpleasant when someone else wasn't unpleasant to her first

[Daniel.]

She was only horrible to Hazel which annoyed me so much at the time, she seemed a caring person deep down though.

[Jake.]

One thing I can agree with is that the series felt a bit more of an 'event' than 12/13

[Jake.]

She was only horrible to Hazel which annoyed me so much at the time, she seemed a caring person deep down though.

It was more how horrible she was, for seemingly no reason whatsoever apart from the whole Daley situation

[Liam-]

Why the Gina shade?

Because she was awful

Yeah, the housemates really were not that great at all

Charlie and Jackie <3

[Lostie!]

When was she unpleasant when someone else wasn't unpleasant to her first

She went around wildly accusing Jemima of racism before even trying to get to the bottom of that situation rationally (and made a mockery of real racism in the process).

After returning from the safe house she acted like a spoilt little diva about Jackie being in her bed (as far as they were concerned, Gina was gone, Jackie did nothing wrong by moving into that bed and certainly had no obligation to move back as soon as Gina returned).

She seemed to be having an absolute ball on the night of the Charlie witch hunt (that one wasn't just her of course).

The "cheap Primark shoes" comment sticks in my mind too. In that case, Sallie did start the argument but that doesn't excuse Gina being a snob and essentially insulting a whole lot of other people too. Wasn't Zoe crucified by the public for perceived snobbery?

[Ross.]

Her look was always on point and she made the evictions more of an event at the time. The Wolfy eviction was amazing because of the amount of press attention focused on Hazel's 'inevitable' exit and if she'd get beaten up lol

Yeah definitely, the live shows were great and Emma was a breath of fresh air (I still love her tho but it's like she's a robot reading a script sometimes now). Hazel surviving those evictions against the odds as well. :clap1:

Messy Jemima went too early though. </3

[Daniel.]

Wasn't Gina taking Charlie's side from what I can remember?

[Macie Lightfoot]

14's the perfect median series. Gina and Charlie were the only enjoyable HMs though for me

[Lostie!]

Wasn't Gina taking Charlie's side from what I can remember?

Not that I remember, her and Hazel had a rare bonding experience over how shocked and distrustful they were at Charlie.

I'm not saying Gina was the worst that night though, out of everyone I think the twins pissed me off the most during that.

[GLENN BILL BB7]

Gina and Hazel Became fake friends for like 2 episodes turning on Charlie and then went back to hating each other and having arguments just before Hazel was Evicted as I remember.

[Pete.]

Jemima needs her justice

Dead daughter argument>>>>

Was that the pizza argument because the gay one infuriated me that night

[Pete.]

Dead daughter argument>>>>
Still iconic

[Daniel.]

lmao @ the gay one

[Lostie!]

Was that the pizza argument because the gay one infuriated me that night

I don't think I remember this. :worry:

It was the night of friends and family nominations, most of them turned on Charlie because of what some of the F&F said. The twins were like "Well if my mum said it I believe it sorry", yet they were insulting Charlie's friend for nominating them. :hmph:

[Daniel.]

I don't even remember a pizza argument, I was talking about friends and family nominations.

[Natalie.]

The best c5 series but the worst winner and Dexter should have won

[GLENN BILL BB7]

I remember the twins used to have arguments over who was the fatter twin lol its like **** you's are both Fat!

[Oaker]

This is making me want to rewatch this series now :hmph:

[Daniel.]

Not Sam being your favourite

[Pete.]

Oh lol I was talking about the time when the winning team got a pizza party and the losing team couldn't eat it but the porky Jack ate the pizza and the winning team got sent to jail. I think Jack gloated in front of the prison and Callum (?) had an argument with him.

RE: F&F noms I was so on Charlie's side that night and found it hilarious when Gina's boyfriend came on TV and she silenced everyone so she could listen to him

[Jamesy]

BB14 is the only Channel 5 series I've enjoyed from start to finish. The best series they've done tbh.

The only thing that let it down was the winner. Even though I like Sam he did literally nothing to win the crown.

[Oaker]

Sam was just a nice person and he never did anything wrong.

[Daniel.]

I can't remember a pizza row at all

[Lostie!]

Oooh yeah I remember that now. :laugh:

Tbh, the twins with the wasp did have me creasing up. :joker:

[Pete.]

They were so messy but Joe >>>

[Daniel.]

Sam was just a nice person and he never did anything wrong.

He was boring though, Gina, Hazel and Sallie :love:

[Oaker]

Jackie being protective over Charlie and arguing with Callum was a great moment tbh.

[Macie Lightfoot]

What did Dexter even do? A few people here have labeled him as one of the only good HMs and someone who was robbed of the win, but he didn't even do anything really? I found him boring and his screen time was all empty garbage.

[armand.kay]

alright but i have no urgency to rewatch it

[armand.kay]

Thats what I don't get callum >> dexter.

[Daniel.]

Have the people who say 14 is the best C5 seen or remember 13?

Not in a patronising way

[Pete.]

I also remember Jack unfreezing to hug his mum when literally everyone was still during the task and BB did not care. This is when I knew tasks had lost their way plus when they had to fail like 27 times to actually fail the task.

Although the Zonbie task where Gina emerged a favourite :flutter:

[armand.kay]

The jackie, callum, charley saga is so underrated.

[Oaker]

I really wanted to like Dexter but couldn't see past his fake tears. Like with Joel I believe he made Callum out to be worse than he was and place Dexter into another series (like this one just gone) and he would have been boring af but he was given the 'underdog' storyline I guess

[Pete.]

nn gina in quarantine was a mess <3
When they all refused to drink the protein shake and cried over plain rice <3

Underrated task <3

[Pete.]

13 was amazing and all but the likes of Conor, Arron, Ashleigh, Luke S made the show depressing at times and Luke A did not deserve to win

[EspeonBB]

At the time I mildly liked 14 but I fully like it now considering the two pieces of garbage that C5 have served since that series. I still prefer 13 though.

Gina is hilarious and a top 5 HM to me. The fact that she was the fave to win at one point is amazing :love: Ofc she was robbed but literally all entertaining females are

[Ross.]

Did you like it

I don't deny that it was a great series, but for me I enjoyed BB14 a whole lot more than I enjoyed BB13.

[Daniel-X]

Like it fifth best series produced after BB6, BB7, BB13 and BB3. Some classic moments were produced from it

[Jason.]

It's good. 2nd best C5 BB.

But introduced the format that we all hate now. BB13 was better.

[Amy Jade]

Jemima >>>

[reece(:]

BB13 is better but it's much better than 15/16.

[Dominic]

The winner ruined it.

[mrmattybeck1]

My favourite c5 series but sadly this was the start of big brother twisting it too much

[Ant.]

The best C5 Big Brother series, imo

[Jarrod]

I don't understand the BB13 love. I remember nothing of that series apart from The White Room, Conor saying that stuff to Deana and that the Housemates were free to discuss nominations for the first two weeks.

Big Brother 14 on the other hand was fantastic. I think it was the first time the show had felt like an actual event. Emma was announced as host, BOTS got new hosts, the House had the biggest makeover in years, the idea of the theme, the logo, the Housemates - it felt exciting. I remember much more of this series than I do most other Channel 5 series. I think if they should do anything, it's go back to how they did BB14.

[MB.]

Maybe you should go back and re-watch BB13 then, because you make it sound like you've only got a high opinion of BB14 based on the hype surrounding it and not on the series itself

[MB.]

(for the record 13 >>> 14 >>>>>>> any order of 12/15/16, take your pick)

[Daniel.]

They have stuck with how they did BB14 that's why the show is a mess

[RichardG]

I was a bit critical of it at the time but on reflection in comparison to recent years it was amazing. :laugh: Shame about the winner though...

[LemonJam]

nobody that series was likeable. Callum was my favourite for lol factor and I think I ended up rooting for Sophie by the end of it :worry:

[reece(:]

I thought you stanned Charlie Travers or was that someone else :worry:

[Mitchell]

Best one on C5 (not that it means much considering only this and time bomb have been any good.)

[Daniel.]

BB16 was awful, BB13 remains the best.

[Littlegreen]

This is one of those series that is better when it's watched a few years later. I hated Hazel the first time around because I adored Gina, but I appreciated her more second time around.

[Gstar]

I liked it, loved the house, housemates, live feed. They put so much effort in this series and the ratings reflected it. 2013 TIBB was also a great year

[Gstar]

The first eviction peaked at over 2 million viewers in the overnights. BB3 hew?

[Withano]

Worst final three ever, fyt me.

[HBIC]

It was the best channel 5 series IMO

[QueenCharley]

In hindsight I remember loving it. Although there were some casting duds, they really nailed it by getting interesting people from all walks of life into one house. We had a loudmouth tattoo model Sallie, a slimy, calculating business man Dexter that we all grew to love, a bickering set of twin brothers, a spoilt rich girl Gina who was amazing, a mother/daughter duo, Dan the paranoid cop and Wolfie the cocky fisherwoman. Such a bizarre authentic/diverse cast but it worked so well and its a formula that channel 5 needs to replicate for its civilian series. Such a shame Sam won though, still salty about that.

[Babayaro.]

Callum was the star of the series

[Jodie.]

Wad a good series but Sam winning ruined all of it tbh

[Littlegreen]

Callum was the star of the series

Speaking of which I was recommended this video after scrolling through BB14 clips...
