Is the the worst ‘us vs them’ group we’ve had?

[Benjamin]

I mean in terms of how much one group hates the other. They can barely bring themselves to talk to each other. Usually in past seasons you see the groups at least talk to each other and then bitch, this time though it’s literally just flat out hatred and rudeness.

[Babayaro.]

I feel like I’m flogging a dead horse here banging on about the series length lol, but if it WAS longer then I reckon we may have seen the divide simmer a little as the series progressed.

But to answer your question, yup. It’s incredibly divided right now. Can anyone remember how severe the house divide was in BB9 between B-Block and the rest of the house?

[Babayaro.]

It was called B-Block right? Or have I just made up a ridiculous sounding name :laugh:

I was going to say BB9 had quite a bitter divide too.

To be fair it’s mainly one way nastiness

10% upstairs : 90% downstairs

Even the 10% is a reaction to what they’ve had to endure for 4 weeks

Think the unusual thing with this divide is the way the housemates have embraced it. Normally it's a viewer thing making it out to be bigger than it is and in reality they all interact with each other in a civil way. Here though Jenkin and co are absolutely obsessed with 'their group' being under attack to the extent that they'll barely even talk to the others, Jenkin won't even share his birthday cake! And literally all they do is complain and bitch, there's no normal conversation there

Upstairs are in their every right to react that way, exactly to how they've been treated etc . And atleast they have fun and talk in general. Whereas downstairs just bitch and moan .

[Tony Montana]

It doesn't even come close to BB13. That divide was very serious and there was pure hate from both sides. The only times they would even be in the same room was when BB called them together.

That divide was by far the worst in all 20 BBs we've had. It was very nasty, uncomfortable and got really personal between both groups. It's astonishing that there were no walkers.

This season is child's play in comparison.

I don't think the divide in 9 was that bad tbh. It peaked during spitgate, but pretty much died after Sylvia and Jennifer left.

I'm actually not sure about that, iirc Luke A said he didn't have a problem with anyone in that house and even liked Conor. I think that was an example of a divide being pushed more by viewers than housemates

[CocaColin]

It's very reminiscent of BB6.

[rusticgal]

What I find interesting is the downstairs group just seem to bitch all the time…whereas the upstairs lot hardly bitch at all….

He hated Caroline, Becky, and Luke S with a passion and would constantly bitch about them. He nominated Conor more than once and was aware of how he'd been treating Deana. He knew he was the ringleader of the Insiders and had actually wanted him to leave during the ABCD eviction.

I mean the housemates themselves even talked about there being a divide several times so even they were aware of it.

Fair enough, you have a better memory of the series than me :joker:

Why thank you, it's in my top 5 BB. :laugh:

It's interesting how the drama in this series seemed pretty tame and light earlier on and in this past week it's descended into a really nasty, hateful environment.

And to think it's only a 6 week run , can you imagine if it ran for 12 weeks .

[James]

Big Brother 6 - Team Makosi vs Team Saskia. The two groups kept to two separate areas in the house.

Yeah that was brutal, and I loved when Maxwell & Saskia got evicted lmao .

I agree

iirc that whole Team Makosi vs Team Saskia thing didn’t last too long did it? At one point or another everyone was arguing with everyone during BB6, especially Science :laugh:

Because the series ran for so long ,I think it brought out the worse in them all. And they got paranoid aswell , especially when Orlaith & Eugene were there .

Yeah it’s one of the few series were every single housemate shown themselves in a bad light at one point or another lol. I think that’s why it’s my favourite series tbh, just an absolute bastard crazy mess of a show :laugh:

Not entirely true, Eugene was pure. I’m glad he got some of the prize fund.

I won't stand for Kemal slander, punk

Eugene was probably the most likeable of the lot, but there was on a few occasions where a more spiteful side of him came out. Did he not say something quite nasty about Science on the live feed once? For the life of me I can’t remember exactly what but I think it might have been food related??

And Kemal was great obvs, but c’mon he could be a massive bitch :joker: Mostly towards those who deserved it tbf

[*mazedsalv**]

BB6 and 13 were worse, especially the latter.

With 6, both sides gave as good as it got, with 13, especially towards the start, it seemed like one group were not strong enough to defend themselves, until they started surviving evictions.

What about Kinga who just sat there sitting on her bottle not getting involved in most dramas.

I think he was talking with Orlaith because Science had stolen or eaten some food he shouldn’t have if I recall. It was the same day of the Orlaith vs Science clothes horse argument (which to this day is still one of my fave arguments).

If you were still in your box, I'd poo in it!

Iirc Eugene said something about how he wanted to provoke Science into physical violence so that he's ejected from the house.

And yeah he did get very cocky and nasty towards the later weeks. Loved it when Makosi put him in his place.

It really is. I actually thought it was a pretty wholesome series until recently. Up until this week there's been nobody in there that I actively disliked. Kerry and Hallie annoyed me but that's as far as it went. This week has brought out a lot of unpleasantness in them.
