Genuinely don't know why it's so lukewarmly received on here - fine, Stephemy were disgusting, and Scotty's win was disappointing, but literally every other housemate delivered something - even if it was just "the nice guy role" from Darren :p And some were some of the best ever personalities (Tiffany, Angie, Gemma, David)

Give me CBB17 over 13 or 16 any day of the week.

[Rob!]

Gemma was the worst thing about that series so bye at that concept

[y.winter]

Gemma is so overrated. She's all about selling her image as the "GC" (really?). A great branding for a mediocre product.

CBB17 had the ingredients for a great series with some fantastic characters but for some reason it just didn't work well for me and it was quite mediocre and it felt like I was tuning into the same thing every night.

[Cal.]

Shut up CBB17 was fab

[Macie Lightfoot]

Gemma whispering into her microphone that she'll give them "entertainment" if they let her sleep in for another hour really just might be the most hilarious moment of the series for me TBH.

Also, I don't think GC is fake at all, but an easy plot for Gemma to use to excuse her narcissistic sociopathic behavior :love:

[Jason.]

Shut up CBB17 was fab

Well you're wrong!

[Jason.]

Gemma whispering into her microphone that she'll give them "entertainment" if they let her sleep in for another hour

:joker:

[iRyan]

It was a brilliant series

Gemma, New York, and Angie are the holy trinity of that series

[Will.]

It was a good series.

Gemma, Tiffany, Megan, Angie and Jonathan :love:

[Samm]

It was fantastic, none of the episodes left me bored and the Steph drama wasn't that bad

[Daniel.]

Where were the arguments though? I know CBB15 and CBB16 had too many of them but CBB17 didn't have enoug

[reece(:]

Where were the arguments though? I know CBB15 and CBB16 had too many of them but CBB17 didn't have enoug

messy Nancy vs Jonathan and Tiff vs Gemma over maiden shoes were highlights

[Jamie89]

I don't think Chris Maloney gets enough appreciation. Him dry heaving during nominations > anything Gemma did

[Cal.]

Omfg Chris Maloney was hilarious

[Marsh.]

Where were the arguments though?

Evidence stupid drama isn't needed to make a good show.

[Daniel-X]

Chris Maloney was kinda iconic.

[Heaven = Winner]

Tiffany was the sole star tbh.

I generally think CBB17 is underrated though. It was a consistently good series imo. It wasn't forced (and especially not nearly to the degree of CBB18)

[Daniel.]

Evidence stupid drama isn't needed to make a good show.

Not when it was a bad series, anyway aren't your favourites BB5 and BB6?

[reece(:]

The launch twist was one of the worst ever tho

[Oaker]

most CBB launch night twists suck tbh

the last good one was CBB13's :love:

[LaLaLand]

I actually loved this series tbh.

Tiffany, Angie, Megan, Steph owning it... and the downfall of Gemma Collins and John Partridge.

"David's Dead" will go down in history as a TV, not just BB but a TV classic. You couldn't write stuff like that!!

Plus Christopher Maloney dry heaving everytime he nominated.

[Marsh.]

Not when it was a bad series, anyway aren't your favourites BB5 and BB6?

Yeah, what's your point?

I never said I hated arguments or drama. But neither of those were pure arguments, they also had interesting mixes of characters and humour.

Something more recent drama centric series have seriously lacked. :smug:

[Macie Lightfoot]

why does Stephanie Davis has fans I can't name any redeeming qualities unless you're thing is "messy girls xx" which is so incredibly vague and has such a low bar

[Jack_]

Now this series truly is one that was dominated and carried by several incredible female housemates. Tiffany, Gemma, Megan, Angie and Stephanie were all amazing <3

[Black Dagger]

What did Steph own apart from Jeremy's cock, the ****ing wet blanket that he was.

[Jack_]

One of the best CBB showmances of all time :clap1:

[Jack_]

Second only to the iconic Lee, Jasmine and Casey love triangle probs

[Greg!]

Where were the arguments though? I know CBB15 and CBB16 had too many of them but CBB17 didn't have enoug

There was arguments/messy breakdowns pretty much every day?

[Ross.]

I'm not a Steph fan but that ending with her stomping around in the huge room is iconic

[reece(:]

She owned crusty knickers!

[Jason.]

I'm not a Steph fan but that ending with her stomping around in the huge room is iconic

Her rant in the black hole was her only good moment

[Jamie89]

There was some low key comedy in Stephs extreme lack of self awareness and genuine belief that everyone else was somehow to blame for her actions.

[Mystic Mock]

The OP suggests why it isn't a good series when you have to rely on Gemma Collins for entertainment.

Just like CBB18 with Bear really.

[Mystic Mock]

Not when it was a bad series, anyway aren't your favourites BB5 and BB6?

BB5 and BB6 was also very fun/funny series too, they weren't just about mundane arguments with no wit whatsoever.

And the Showmances in those years were much more entertaining as well, even the horrifying Cranthony.:joker:

[Daniel-X]

She was charismatic in the weirdest way. She was so tragic and "messy xx" (as you like to put it) I couldn't help but love her. She was hilarious and honestly she doesn't even do anything that bad, the hate for her is ridiculous.

[Tom4784]

Steph's only good moment was when BB threw her out the Diary room so they could bring Megan in.

[Marsh.]

[Ant.]

Gemma breaking down in tears thinking she's pregnant, saying she's excited, and then later on being all relieved and happy about the revelation that she is in fact not pregnant will forever make me laugh

[Wizard.]

One of the best Ch5 CBB's IMO :clap1:

[Shaun]

Second only to the iconic Lee, Jasmine and Casey love triangle probs

Danica/Lorenzo/Sitch - Chantelle/Preston - Katia/Basshunter - Bobby Sabel passing his bodily fluids onto Darryn Lyons >>>>>> Steph/Jeremy

Hell, I'd rather watch Ken Morley harass Patsy Kensit again over those two nothings.

Katia and Basshunter is a massive who, Chantelle and Preston was cute and all but much like Pete and Nikki it's an empty storyline and Danica and co was okay but Lee, Jasmine and Casey did the same thing a thousand times better a few series later

I understand the opposition to showmances but they can have a purpose, the only time they're interesting is when they're messy (see: Chiggy, Steverly)

[Braden]

The ****ing hair is frazzled.

[Jake.]

"come say it to me!.... COURSE HE WONT COZ HE AINT GOT NO ARSEHOLE." >> anything from CBB18

Basshunter was a big name back then

[EspeonBB]

Christopher: A couple of people have said it, that...
Gemma: I called you a silly **** and walked out?
Christopher: Yeah
Gemma: Yeah I did.

[Braden]

I could watch Gemma and New York's best moments every day.

Get that fire exit door! I'm off!

[*mazedsalv**]

Thought it was great. It's my 3rd fave CBB on 5 behind 13 and 9.

[Amy Jade]

I loved CBB17, the only thing I thought was disastrous really was the awful eviction results and you can't blame anyone for that other than the people who vote/don't vote

I think all the ingredients were there, we were given so of the best housemates for years but the voters or non voters messed it up.

• Jeremy should have gone over Nancy in the 2nd eviction
• Megan should have survived her eviction, Daniella or Jeremy should have gone
• Gemma should have stayed over Daniella in her eviction (even though I never liked Gemma she was a much more deserving finalist than Daniella and even John, Darren and Scott tbf)
• Tiffany only coming 4th is a joke and the fact Darren Day was above her when he was irrelevant is harrowing

[Lush]

The series is amazing, but like Amy Jade said, Tiffany only coming 4th left a really sour taste in my mouth.

Unfortunately I couldn't vote, but to see her have so much support throughout the series, and then for dullard Darren Day and Stephanie (who was hated all series and then had a redemption arc come out of nowhere) to pip her to the post was just devastating. Scotty T was also a gormless idiot and an extremely poor winner too.

With that being said, the series had so many iconic moments, and although Tiffany was undoubtedly the star, there were still many different characters giving us great entertainment each night (mental Megan, Angie's breakdown, Gemma's behaviour in general).

[Braden]

CBB17 is such a well-rounded series, I don't get how people can like the show if they didn't enjoy it. It had everything a good series has to offer.

I didn't even mind the whole Jeremy/Stephanie aspect of the series. It was good in a 'watch between your fingers' kind of way, since she literally had a boyfriend on the outside that she seemed to not give a **** about :p They're relationship outside of the show is obviously tragic, though.

I'm re watching it now and agree it's well rounded, however I can't fully love it because a lot of the cast is poor.

A lot of the cast on most series is 'poor' tbh

[Braden]

I thought it was a strong cast, in terms of CBB. There were one or two duds, but everyone played their part well (Shahbaz Chaudry™).

[Daniel.]

I guess, but CBB17 stands out as one carried by five female housemates (I'll let you guess who), the others do nothing for me

I disagree tbh, but it did give me my favourite housemate ever

[Jake.]

I liked it but the final week wasn't worth watching

[Lostie!]

I think it was fine but I had to stop watching when they stooped to having a task that revolved around them literally having their crap inspected.

It's one of those series that undoubtedly had a lot of great moments but ... I dunno, there was a certain spark missing that meant I couldn't overlook the aforementioned crap inspection.

[LukeB]

Looking back

Tiffany,Gemma,Megan and Angie were iconic :love:

Yeah that's how I feel. It had all the ingredients for a good series, but for some reason it just didn't click as one.

I think it's probably the second worst January CBB after CBB11

[Epic.]

Megan clocking John :love: :fan:

That was pretty funny too :laugh: I thought he was a very underappreciated CBB villain in general though tbh

"And you know what Jonathan, that was the one thing--"
"My name is John!"
-Tiffany laughs in background noise-
"JOHN!"
"My name is John. It's not Jonathan...!"
-Tiffany laughs-

[reece(:]

Jeremy stuck around like a bad smell.

[reece(:]

why does Stephanie Davis has fans I can't name any redeeming qualities unless you're thing is "messy girls xx" which is so incredibly vague and has such a low bar

Was this ever answered?

[Epic.]

Jeremy stuck around like a bad smell.

This. For as annoying as Stephanie was, she at least offered non-Jeremy related things. All he was was a bland CPM constantly questioning what he's doing.

There was only like 1% between him, Steph, and Megan when she got evicted </3

[Braden]

I liked it but the final week wasn't worth watching

Gillian McKeith studying their ****s >>>>>> any other final week.

Yes

[Braden]

"Stephanie, you are emotionally toxic."

*Steph nods head vigorously*

Another great Gillian moment:

"Tiffany you are a sexual predator
"Hehehe I am?"

[Epic.]

Genuinely don't know why it's so lukewarmly received on here - fine, Stephemy were disgusting, and Scotty's win was disappointing, but literally every other housemate delivered something - even if it was just "the nice guy role" from Darren :p And some were some of the best ever personalities (Tiffany, Angie, Gemma, David)
