When it was being promoted, BB18 was said to be going back to it’s roots, being a social experiment etc. Do you think it has delivered on that promise?

For me, obviously you can tell it’s a C5 series, but I think it’s the most C4-esque we’ve had. There has been a return of some things from C4:

-Lots of late entrants
-Minimal twists
-3 day shopping tasks
-Balanced edit
-No chasing ratings
-A 4 person finale

^just some I can think of

No - launch night twist was the least "back to basics" thing ever with the outside contact

Imran and Suhkvinder were very C4 like HMs but we booted them so it went back to C5

BB13, BB12 and somewhat BB14 are waaaaaay more c4 than this series lol

In some ways but the sheer amount of minor reality stars in it counters all that stuff. It was still an enjoyable series though

The complete opposite if anything

BB13 and BB12 were too tacky, TOWIE like; BB14 has too many twists imo
(I get what you mean, but I’m taking everything into consideration, like editing etc)

No but the editing has been more balanced and it's been a bit more "fun" than previous series

Okay then in that regard I get what you mean but then going by your rules I would say that BB14 is the most C4?

Like this year's editing has been balanced but it's been REALLY tacky and while BB14 might have had more twists (I don't think it did) every twist that series was well thought out, this year's twists are clearly thought up last minute and are all awfully executed.

skhdhd no still the same old, I guess the only positive is that the cast diversity improved a tad

Not particularly, but it has been the best series in years so they've done a good job especially with the casting

IMO no not at all, except from the diversity. The cast has been very diverse (although still reality star heavy) more so than any other C5 series
