[Time]

Slow start but it got better as the weeks went on. A great final with an amazing winner. 8/10

[Daniel.]

Great tbh

[Pete.]

Amazing series I'm sorry

[reece(:]

FAB!

[Ross.]

It had some dull moments but overall a great series and winner

[smudgie]

Couldn't stand the slurping romance, lost a little bit of interest at one point but stuck with it.
Amazing last week, great top 3.

[supertv247]

It was great, it certainly got better towards the end (I've wiped the VIP guests week from my memory) and the final really helped bring it up over all

[Raxton]

Great hm
Badly produced
Same old task
Weird twist
Amazing finale
Phenomenal result

[Will.]

Lovely

[lewis111]

The final has left a good taste in people's mouth so hoping it will be remembered more fondly

Amazing series that was strong throughout (yeah it had a few boring parts but series like BB17 dies after Natalie went)

[Jodie.]

My 3rd favourite ever

[Underscore]

Really pulled itself together.

7/10

Second series I've watched every episode + BBOTS without fail.

First was BB13 so well done BB!

[Marsh.]

The last one.

[Glenn-C]

Really overhated, didn't deserve the **** ratings. Got off to a bit of a slow start, but I think just like our winner, it's taught us not to judge a book by it's cover :)

[Jack_]

A good series spoiled by abysmal production which in turn led to a piss poor end (when VTE returned) with mediocre finalists

When it was good it was amazing but when it was bad it was dire. BB17 is still better

[Rob!]

I think BB17 was a lot better but that's no shade on the housemates, for the most part.

[Oaker]

It's nothing amazing but nothing terrible. 13, 14 & 17 are still >

[rionablue]

I was very disappointed on the whole. Usually BB would be my number one over Love Island but I found myself liking the cast of Love Island much more this year. I am delighted with the result but I knew even on launch night I wasnt going to like alot of the housemates. However Im a fan and I stuck it out but one of my least favourites ever

[Garfie]

I would have preferred it without celebrities and too much focus on certain housemates, as it meant we saw too little of true civilian housemates.

However, the final week and the last four surviving housemates made up for that. I can't think of another series where any of the final four winning would have been a fabulous result. However, Isabelle winning was the best possible ending to the series.

Overall, I've really enjoyed it.

[Littlegreen]

Overall a good series, but truly redeemed itself with a spectacular final and top 3.

[TomC]

First three weeks (bar VIPs) were fab. Last three weeks it has really grown on me. Fantastic cast and storylines. Sometimes a tad messy, but I really like this season now we've reached the final. It may just have overtaken BB17 for me? Like BB17 was amazing, but looking back it feels like soemthing was missing compared to BB18? Maybe a more dissatisfying finish.

[TomC]

Great final week as well - fab finalists, and I loved the Life task. One thing I thought of the other day is that the BB16, 17, and 18 final fortnights were all actually really strong when you compare it to like... BB7 and 8?

Tbf, this time on BB7 and BB8, we still had Charley and Nikki

[Greg!]

Great series with one of the best winners ever!

[TomC]

very true - C5 taking the easy route w 2 month series!

[Gstar]

Cute series, great winner. BB17 was still better

[Lush]

It did have some boring patches but overall it has been great. The divide was brilliant, and the Exiles are literally one of the best friendship groups in BB history.

The final three was also beyond perfect and we were rewarded with such an incredible winner that it's going to be very hard not to look back on it fondly.

[Firewire]

Shoddy production asided it was a great series, prefer it to BB17 now

[reece(:]

very true - C5 taking the easy route w 2 month series!
And keeping 10 HMs in until the final week!

Liked:

1. I liked the fact that the show had some Ch4 esque Housemates in the series in the way that they interacted and behaved in general in the house such as Raph, Hannah, Deborah, Isabelle, and tbf even the boring ones like Charlotte were less of a Ch5 Housemate than usual.

2. Fight Night 3 was probably my favourite moment of the series with Lotan throwing the bottle, Isabelle's comments about "sorry about that it was my fault" and "are you a good role model for your Son though?" and of course Ellie's "hit meh! hit meh!" as Deborah then goes running up the stairs was the best moment of the entire series imo. And of course Raph as the Security Guard on that night was pretty epic.

3. Tom and Hannah's dynamic was one of the most fascinating relationships in any Ch5 series, their one minute they're okay with each other, to the next minute wanting to kill each other really made me actually grow fondly of Tom, and made me like to watch Hannah even more.

4. Hannah's fake crying at Andrew not wanting to speak to her anymore the day before she sadly got evicted.

5. Hannah's dancing during the show off your talent task.

6. Arthur ripping the clothes off the Mannequin.

7. Arthur showing the public how horrible Jester Joe was.

8. Joe vs Rebecca.

9. Chanelle vs Kayleigh.

10. Imran comparing Sukhvinder to Nelson Mandela, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King.

11. Hannah's reaction to Raph putting the Garlic in her Pillow.

12. Raph's twerking.

13. Raph singing Happy Birthday in four different languages.

14. Raph and Joe's dynamic.

15. Arthur saying to Deborah how he wants Hannah evicted.

16. Arthur, Sukhvinder, and Imran arguing about the Earth being round or flat.

17. Arthur and Imran arguing about Benefits.

18. Sukhvinder not liking being called Suk.

19. Sukhvinder feeling claustrophobic after Chanelle went all Jigsaw Killer by putting the bag over Sukhvinder's head.

20. Hannah's Love, Peace, & Harmony song.

21. Isabelle's dancing during the talent task.

22. Isabelle saying to Charlotte that Charlotte will stay because "she's done **** all" and then quickly editing it to done **** all wrong when she realised how it would come across.

23. Tom's David and Goliath comparison in the Diary Room.

24. Andrew's deep voice when saying "hell's a coming."

25. Sue taking on Sam's accent when saying "don't tell me what to fooking do!"

26. Charlotte laughing in the Diary Room about Deborah running up the stairs.

Disliked:

1. Ellie's showmances, they were invasive to the series and is the main reason why the ratings were so low. Also it killed any discussion off on the Forums when the show would overly focus on them. I enjoyed this last week so much more because Ellie wasn't there anymore, and she's the reason why I liked week 1 and week 4 so much more as it was less about her Showmances and more about everybody else. She killed the series for me, and possibly the whole franchise.

2. Chanelle spitting towards Kieran in week 1.

3. Rebecca's veiled racism towards the Sisters. I feel that she was too cowardly to say what she really wanted to say towards them, especially Hannah.

4. Joe's bitterness towards Arthur in his eviction interview.

5. Charlotte attacking Raph and Chanelle's friendship because Chanelle is lower on the social class scale.

6. Savannah's general moody behaviour in the house.

7. The second chance Housemate twist as it started too late into the series, it was a desperate twist to restore ratings. And it had the very obvious flaw of all 4 of them being in the house with one original Housemate in the final week, thus knowing who has won the show before the final episode.

8. Kieran whacking the pillow really hard at Raph and Isabelle.

9. Kieran threatening to throw Coke Can's at people.

10. Ellie's constant jealousy of Isabelle. I suppose it should go in with 1 but it was really bizarre imo.

11. Kayleigh calling King Arthur a "freak" and a "weirdo."

12. Mandy getting evicted after only 3 days of watching her, I feel like the Housemates should at least get a whole week before the public decides on who leaves the show.

I've probably missed some stuff off, but overall I found more stuff that I liked than didn't which is a good thing, it's just ashame that alot of the bad things were so fundamentally flawed that it hurt the show in the ratings I feel.
