Cast: BB17 v BB18

[Jodie.]

Less than 2 weeks until the final, so what cast did you prefer?

[Lostie!]

17 overall, but Sukhvinder is one of my all time favourites.

BB17 just edges it I think. They have both been pretty diverse and entertaining though, and what I love about both is that the casts really came into their own through the series, and a plethora of rootable characters emerged.

It's just that BB18 has (a lot) more deadweight. BB17 had Alex and to an extent Jason, whilst Kieran, Raph, (arguably) Charlotte, Sam and Joe (in his miserable faces) were all trash.

BB18 but didn't really watch BB17, wasn't hooked

BB17 without a doubt. More stuff went down, they were more interesting and they were overall a group of very different people and they clashed way more which kept it interesting. I dont really like anyone that much this year. There are a few im rooting for but im not that fond of them, not like i have been in the past with other series.

BB17's female cast was AMAZING - like one of the best of all time - so 17 wins from that alone.

[Jase.]

Icon Natalie was in BB17 so obvs that cast

[reece(:]

18 has Sukhvinder, a true C4 throwback of messy and crazy.

[Jodie.]

I rate both the same in entertainment value - but BB18 has more rootable characters (Chanelle, Raph, Isabelle, Deborah, Hannah) whereas BB17 only had Hughie and Jayne for me

Hughie :yuk:

I loved Laura and Evelyn at the end

[supertv247]

I'd say BB17 - both have equally as good housemates, 18 has more that I really love though (Chanelle, Raph, Isabelle, Deborah, Hannah) while BB17 mainly had Jayne & Hughie then Evelyn & Laura towards the end.. but 18 also has a lot more deadweight characters that pull the cast as a whole down

18 but mainly because of the eviction order
17's was pretty good as well but we had a final 8 which had Jasom, Jackso, Sam and Alex whereas tbis series seems set to have the worst person in the final 8 be Ellie or Charlotte and they're better than all 4 listed above

[RileyH]

BB18 has Isabelle. BB18 gets my vote solely off that.

Both solid casts but 17 edges it for me

[YourLAEx]

Chanelle (BB18) > Isabelle (BB18) > Jayne (BB17) > Laura (BB17) > Raph (BB18) > Deborah (BB18).

My top six is mainly BB18 housemates so I'd say the highs from this year's cast are definitely higher.

Of this years and last year's cast combined, my bottom 6 are: Lotan, Ellie, Kayleigh, Tom, Chelsea and Jason.
