er....(whispers) this really is a terible series so far?

[Crimson Dynamo]

getting no mentions in the DM, no real debate on Tibb, no sides so real faves save Raph. Is it time to call this BB an all-time dud?

[Oliver_W]

It has potential. Save normal noms and tasks which don't involve the outside world, BB should leave 'em to it and it might be good.

[T*]

They've put quite a few model-y duds in there, I only really like Chanelle, Raph, Sukh and Imran
Everyone else is really airtime whorish and the rest of the time they're full af

Sorry but Sukhvinder is the biggest airtime hog I'm afraid!

[MTVN]

Yeah I think it's been pretty dire, they haven't got it right with the cast at all, they're all far too samey. Hasn't helped that two of the only different ones have been the first two out

[chuff me dizzy]

Nothing in Star and it used to be in every day ..... a series where I dont have a fav ,I dont like a single person in there and Ive never known it before ... 1st time Im ever wanted new hm8s just so i can like someone

Tis pretty crap LT that's for sure.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Getting rid of Mandy was terrible as was letting Arthur walk for no good reason

Tom was a disaster (as was the whole peoples champion concept)

and so far not one good task?

[JTM45]

It's **** and getting worse by the day for the exact reasons T* stated. Crappy, wanky model-y dud types! I'd rather real people with real conversations and personalities and the like. Look how quickly the majority of this lot got excruciatingly tedious. ''Ooh.....let's wrestle again.....'' . :bawling:<Me

Just 'cos they couldn't hack it on LI/EOTB why do they feel the need to infect the actual BB ?

[T*]

Sorry but Sukhvinder is the biggest airtime hog I'm afraid!

At least she's entertaining though instead of being all 'let's wrestle again XD xD'

[Vanessa]

Arthur, Raph and Charlotte would have all nominated Joe. :fist:

Evictions in the first week are a load of rubbish anyway!!!

Arthur should have stayed!

I don't know why on launch night they can't just leave things alone but no we get some people's housemate rubbish!!

Then not even a week later we get more pseudo celebrities(ever so slightly more famous than what we already have) going in.

[Cherie]

It's not sparked to life on TV and the forum is dead when you would usually see a lot of returnees apart from Caravan club

[Vanessa]

I think unless they drastically change everything there is no point in making another bb series. And yes letting Arthur go was a big mistake. Him, Raph and Charlotte were the only normal one and a good contrast to the plastics.

Arthur was far from normal but yeah they should have kept him in I think.

[sampvt]

it all comes down who goes in. this year it smacks of a cheap cbb.

Yes, but compared to the others he was :laugh:

Exactly. The only normal people are Raph and Charlotte.

[Locke.]

Really enjoyed it so far. I haven't watched BB properly in 2-3 years so not sure how it has been in that time but I've much preffered it to every series I've watched bar BB9 and BB12

[snail69]

Yes, but compared to the others he was [emoji23]
Well it depends on your criteria for normal I guess...

[vesavius]

It has some really unlikable people in it, but I think it's actually a solid season so far

[snail69]

Sort of how I feel.

[Vanessa]

It will do fine if they show it at 9 pm. People are in bed at 10 pm, so most won't watch.

[JTM45]

Agreed!!!
I love Sukhvinder to bits. :lovedup:
Yeah, she's a slightly troubled soul at times but that just makes her more interesting (and human!) to me.
She has good intentions and she talks about actual stuff instead of tit-jobs and blow-jobs.
I just hope that Imran survives on Friday to talk her down off the ledge when necessary.

[MTVN]

tbf someone like Tom is pretty 'normal', hes just a bit of a dick

[Rob!]

I don't think it's all that bad tbh, it's certainly more entertaining than some series

[JTM45]

Back in the day i could barely wait for that night's episode of BB every day. These days i almost hope i've got the time wrong. During some recent Series' i've almost come to dread each episode at its worst points or skipped them all together!

[Daniel-X]

I like it but it's not standing out yet properly to me, there's no real flow and arguments seem to spring up from everywhere. The cast bar a few (like LEGEND Channers) are really unlikeable too.

[snail69]

I don't find her entertaining at all. I think she's awful. Just my opinion though.

[LukeB]

It started off great but it kind of went down a bit some of the recent episodes have been quite meh really.

and i'm finding the cast meh each time i only care about 4 people really and that's about it.

[bots]

It is pretty telling when failed z listers first went on CBB to try and ignite their careers, and now they have to resort to civvy BB

What beats me is why life's proven wannabe failures are encouraged on to the show. They are not entertaining. When all they can do is flash their fake breasts or tattoos and hurl expletives at each other, is it really a platform for bigger and better things? Whats the point, its not entertaining, and its not a social experiment, and without those its a non starter

[snail69]

I actually like Chanelle, yes she's been disgusting at times and deserved her warning but she's quite fun.

However, housemates like her are at the core of their problems in my opinion. Fame hungry, pseudo celebrities who go from one reality TV show to the next.

[QueenCharley]

I definitely think Timebomb and last series started off worse tbh.

This series has had a lot more natural drama circulate, and despite some casting duds, I think it's been one of the better casts we've seen in a long time.

It's still early days too but I'm pretty confident.

Casting is a very weird thing. People were so happy to see Deborah and Hannah (who I personally like may I add) being cast pre-season and thought they'd be entertaining, but as of yet, they really haven't added much in my opinion to the show.

Whereas, someone like Chanelle, who a lot of people weren't keen on because of her reality TV past is now quite popular not only on this forum, but on Facebook and Twitter too.

You just can't project how things may turn out.

[Jake.]

It was going really well, the last couple of nights have been a bit meh

dont be ridiculous, she is so dull because she has no education and no life experience.

[Greg!]

It's been an okay series but they've got the cast all wrong. There's only 4 people I actually like and I sometimes struggle to remember everyone's names which I'm kind of shook at myself about. Maybe time for a mass cull and new housemates? 4in4out2 would actually be welcome tbh.

[JTM45]

dont be ridiculous, she is so dull because she has no education and no life experience.

But...but...but...............she brought an £800 dressing gown in the house with her. (probably would have been better off adding the £800 to the £30 she spent on her face and getting some better 'work' done :laugh:).

[JTM45]

I do actually quite like Charlotte but i just wish she didn't feel the need to be seen to be gravitating towards the plastic saddo's.

She deserves better and the better clearly have time for her in there.

[Vanessa]

To be honest Raph being in it is keeping me watching. He's so different from the other wannabes that I can't help rooting for him. I like Charlotte, but she needs to do more for me to support her. None of the others stand our for me, except Chanelle who is a great friend for Raph.

[Jodie.]

It’s top tier for me so far <3 and why are people moaning about a generally unlikable cast? BB6 had the most revolting cast ever and it’s championed on here?

[LaLaLand]

I'm actually quite liking it so far.

[sampvt]

recently bb pander to the arguments so all we get now are fake divas.

[Shaun]

It's really saddening that they've tried to replicate Ex on the Beach for the past 3 years. They were the show that paved the way for that to be an inferior rip-off, and now they're chasing ratings.

Remove the likes of Lotan, Kieran, Rebecca, Ellie, Kayleigh and Tom and you'd actually have a solid, diverse cast, but no they went ahead with that "pairs auditioning" idea and couldn't let go of the chance to chuck another Stephanie/Jeremy at us. Even though 4 people care about Stephanie/Jeremy.

That said, I am enjoying everyone else. Charlotte, Deborah, Imran, Sukhvinder, Raph, Chanelle, even Joe are all relatively interesting characters. But of course half of those are doomed to have idiots going "ugh they're so boring :sleep:" because they're given 20 seconds of airtime a night.

[Jodie.]

How many times have you criticised the show now? If you don’t like it then don’t watch:shrug:

Well then fair enough, I didn’t understand what you meant at first sorry

[Mystic Mock]

It's been too reliant on the same old Housemates from the very start.

Nobody is emerging like we've seen in other BB's.

And it's missing Arthur.

[Mystic Mock]

BIB, we have the same top 4.:dance:

[Mystic Mock]

BB6's lot in a bizarre way still had routable qualities about them, I could route for Science, Makosi, and Kemal, I even felt sorry for people like Derek and Craig who clearly had problems.

This lot only has Raph, Sukhvinder, Chanelle, and Imran that I could dream to route for, which considering this isn't suppose to be "the nasty Big Brother" it's quite appalling.

[Jodie.]

RAPH
SUKHVINDER
CHANELLE

are the trinity.

these 3 are in my bottom 5

Whos your top 3?

[EspeonBB]

I enjoyed the first few episodes but it's tailed off a bit for me, due to the lack of likeable housemates and arguments taking up more or less 100% of the airtime (I do enjoy arguments but I would like to see some more personal conversations)

[RichardG]

honestly i haven't watched an episode since launch

i just cba this year for some reason

[Lostie!]

It's fine. Not been as strong a start as last year though.

[Vanessa]

They need to stop trying to interfere with it. It's civilan bb, we don't want celebrities in it! :fist:

[psychtracker]

This is the first BB season i've watched in a couple years, and to my mind the worst i've ever seen. I don't feel any empathy towards any of the HMs, the conversations are pretty dull. And all the fights and arguments are way too overblown and over the top!

I always used to champion the concept of 'vote to save', now i'm wondering if it's actually worse. People who are nommed seem to go out of their way to create fake fights, desperate for airtime and attention.

The old 'vote to evict', had the 'flying under the radar' possibility..and quite often an interesting but controversial HM used to be evicted, but overall maybe it was better.

Either ways, the casting for this bunch was pretty lame!
