THIS IS ****

Farada is a ****in nothing burger.

Why is she allowed to influence HMs with outside knowledge freely... I don't get why they are building her up. They may as well declare her as a BB insertion and an extension of the production team.

Not exactly BB5 is it?

I honestly don't think I have 4 weeks left in me of this.

I agree with you Vesavius, especially about Farida.

At this point I will just campaign for BB to put in an attractive woman, because I'm certainly not getting the personality aspect that I crave from the Show.:laugh:

Yes they're risking the formula and it comes down to how much one likes/can stomach Farida. It's a producer's experiment more than a social experiment at this point. The show is a mess and some will love that, some will really hate it. I think they're doing this to keep viewership more stable throughout the season so they can justify petitioning to further extend, but I have nothing to go by in saying that.

Is eating crisps a superpower?

The secret room is so boring

the whole farida thing could have simply been the show having an advertising deal with pringles

They don't make shows for the same reason they did in 2000. We are 25 years on and its about advertising etc, why do you think we no longer pay to vote? The show no longer requires audience participation, its an advertising platform

I don't get her in there either she is so disillusioned in thinking she's the queen. It's not so much her eating crisps that bothers me i just wish she would eat with her mouth closed. the secret room was boring they could have so much more with it a complete waste of time.

I've given up on this series. ITV doesn't seem to understand the formula. Farida... Give me a break...

I definitely couldn’t live with Farida but it will be interesting when she gets into the house.. she’s very ME ME ME and it will for sure rub everyone up the wrong way

No but you reminded me I forgot to pick up my hot fries while at the shop. Sigh.

She is the producer-led villain that is designed to break the formula. Next series when ITV start talking about twists it's going to give Farida flashbacks. I don't see them ever going back to an organic format.

It's not as bad as American reality yet (unwatchable) as there isn't heavy scripting but they are seeing what they can get away with. I am amused because this is watching social media corrode the show from the outside. Their modern definition of the social experiment: do whatever X or Reddit says is a good idea, aka im offended aka rule break.

This would be the second year in a row where I failed to finish the season.

To stir the sh**. And BB want that, because they feel the series is a bit lacklustre.

Oddly , I failed to finish the series featuring Ali who was my absolute favourite ( many may not realise that ) [emoji3]

I just couldn’t watch the way the many of the housemates were behaving towards her and all the cruel, totally uncalled for views and comments in this forum .

Yeah, I do remember. It didn't stop you continuing to comment though :joker:

You were def deeply invested in that year for sure.

You misunderstand, I meant that them even having to do it is a clear admission that the series has failed up to now.

But, did it work last night?

A production team insert to tell them they were boring and a load of fake overacting...

Is this good BB?

I understood what you meant. It'll work until it doesn't work.

In some ways this move may turn out to be incestuous because now house drama is going to reflect social media sentiments even more-so, especially as HMs (well, most) are likely experienced keyboard warriors themselves.

Ali and Marcello definitely got a lot of heat on here for the two most popular Housemates of the series.:joker:

NOT Big Brother: Maybe it's the soapbox HMs we're choosing to put in there year after year, maybe it's the fact we keep pulling people up for saying things that might be considered offensive but that are also an inevitable consequence of freedom of expression? Maybe that's why the show's considered boring and in need of a shake up.

But that can't be right...
