Is Big Brother 8 the best ever?

[the_chosen_one]

Think about it.....

*We had an all female opening night, which was unlike anything we've seen before, and we saw how they all got to know each other in that strange environment.

*One man was put in (the legendary Zigster) to see how all the women would react

(already a great social experiment)

*Two gays were put in so that gays would be happy and stuff.

*4 men were put in late which made it interesting to see how they'd fit into the group, and gave the girls a chance to win.

*2 prize funds!!! One prize fund was given away on the show! (first time ever!!)

*More housemates than any other series

*The housemates stay up late for the live-feed geeks, more so than other years, apparently.

*We've had the phenomenal "On The Couch" to educate the ignorant masses.

*Big Brother has changed the rules when it suits them so they can punish people for our entertainment.

*Some of the tasks have been really well thought out to make the housemates entertain us.

If you think about it, it's one of the best Big Brothers ever.

yeah true actually..thae ideas were great and bb did well...just nit a great set of housemates..they are all the same :nono: b ut hey...not really bbs fault

[Matt]

And yet it still managed to be the worst series ever, including BB4. And the ratings agree.

Jeez...

[Wasted]

You haven't given me the option I wanted and now I hate myself.

There's no pleasing some people.:rolleyes:

Only BB4 was worse. This series has been a stinker.

The all girl idea was a flop. The tasks and especially the twists have been rubbishly executed.

[J.C.]

I have really enjoyed it, and think it has been at least one of the best ,though I know many others will disagree. I like more of the hms than in previous years, and the late nights have certainly been more lively than usual. My only criticism is that BB seem to foul up so many of their well intended ideas.

The no sleep task could have been sensational. I know from experience that after a certain number of hours we start talking rubbish, almost like sleep talking, which would have been brilliant.

Then the recent Carol OR Gerry eviction was never as dramatic as it could have been.

They had two goes at trying to split the twins using the hnd, but that didn't come off either.

It could have been the very best, but imo it is just up there with a couple of others. Twins to win and Ziggy 2nd.lol

[Scarlett.]

as the comic book guy would say
"Worst-Big-Brother-ever"

[spitfire]

Absolutely not.Although i still watch it,i think BB8 has been the worst.

[JeanP!]

Big Brother 8 is the best ever

[Nath]

bb8 has been boring

[Jackie]

The tasks are worst than ever this year!

[Noopie]

You havn't given me the option I wanted and now I hate myself. :tongue:

I've enjoyed it.. but it isn't my favourite ever.

i dont need to think about it BB8 Tasks Has Been a flop from start to end......Calling Ziggy Legendary is like calling charley subdude......more housemates than other series smelled of desparation......giving liam £100,000 early has been completely useless no housemate has even hinted at resentment like Big Brother was after....and putting people in late has always been a turn off

All in all MATE!!!! no Big Brother 8 hasent been a good series at all its all in youre Imagination !!!!

You list a lot of points but you are forgetting that virtually every one of them were flops.

[dupin]

I would put it at a comfortable 4th:

1st - BB7
2nd - BB6
3rd - BB3
4th - BB8
5th - BB5
6th - BB2
7th - BB4
8th - BB1 (didn't watch)

[Jack]

It hasn't been too bad. Definately not the best but not the worst.

1. BB5
2. BB6
3. BB3
4. BB8
5. BB2
6. BB7
7. BB1
8. BB4

christ is this a joke viewing figures and voting for big brother 2 and big brother 7 was far and away up on the Flop of Big Brother 8...better housemates aswell..of course you entitled to youre opinion lol and i respect that but you got Zilch taste haha

[Blowout]

I don't think it's the best but it is still good. It's out off BB5, BB6 and BB7 as the best for me, then BB8 after them.

That's just my personal order of preference. I know it doesn't match the viewing figures but it's the order of enjoyment I got from watching them.

[jamespa]

I've thought about it..

"We had an all female opening night, which was unlike anything we've seen before, and we saw how they all got to know each other in that strange environment."
This could have worked, but didnt, as most of the women were alike and turned out to be a very boring start. This gave the series a very bad start, which is shown by the rating immediately becoming low after day 1 and never really getting the viewers back.

"One man was put in (the legendary Zigster) to see how all the women would react"
God. The most boring man ever in big brother. Hes even more boring than Gos. His droning monotonous voice and constant "I really do" and never finishing his sentences.

"Two gays were put in so that gays would be happy and stuff."
I'm sure gays can be happy watching a show without gays in it! But yes, these two housmeates were some of the best this year.

"4 men were put in late which made it interesting to see how they'd fit into the group, and gave the girls a chance to win."
The slow dribble of entering the men was pointless and boring. They should have all been in from the beggining.

"2 prize funds!!! One prize fund was given away on the show! (first time ever!!)"
The biggest waste of money ever on tv. They spent 100K and not one highlight show was effected by Liam having the money.

"More housemates than any other series"
I far prefer it with 12-14 housemates. Quality of HM is more important than quantity afterall!

"The housemates stay up late for the live-feed geeks, more so than other years, apparently."
This would be brilliant if they sorted out the live feeds.

"We've had the phenomenal "On The Couch" to educate the ignorant masses."
Phenomenal?!?! Phony psychiatrists imterpretting small movements by housemates in order to futher force the viewers into liking/disliking a certain housemate.

"Big Brother has changed the rules when it suits them so they can punish people for our entertainment."
This is not a good thing!!! Deliver unfair punishments in order to fix the show has been a major put off this year!

"Some of the tasks have been really well thought out to make the housemates entertain us."
The tasks started off terribly but did get better. Wouldn't call them thought out though.

"If you think about it, it's one of the best Big Brothers ever."

Nah, its been allright. I have enjoyed it. But it just hasn't had the big characters and classic moments like previous series' have. Think BB5,6 and 7. They were far better than this one.
The twists weren't thought out AT ALL. They had some good ideas, but every single one was executed terribly. From the waste of having Thaila in for just a few days, the fake eiction being obviously not a normal eviction or interview, so charley knew something was up, and the questions being rubbish in order to avoid fights in the house. They nearly abandoned showing it to the house, you know!
The HWH was rubbish, the guru twist was unexciting and saw one of the few funny housemates leaving instead of the one HALF the voters wanted out, out of 6! Why they didnt just take the gurus into another room and show it on the plasma i don't know.

Overall, the housemates have been a bit dull. Carole has dominated the show and sucked any tiny bit of fun out. Big Brother hasn't been impartial, favouring certain housemates, and the producers just haven't really thought anything through.

Lets hope the apalling 3m viewer rating will mean a good show next year.
We'll see :)

[Matt]

In terms of average viewing figures so far, this has been the worst Big Brother ever:

1. Big Brother 3 - 5.8m
2. Big Brother 5 - 5.0m
3. Big Brother 1 - 4.7m
4. Big Brother 7 - 4.7m
5. Big Brother 2 - 4.6m
6. Big Brother 4 - 4.6m
7. Big Brother 6 - 4.4m
8. Big Brother 8 - 3.6m (so far this series)

I think number 5 is supposed to be BB2. :wink:

[Matt]

Thanks for pointing that out... stupid fingers :laugh:

Edited :thumbs:

[BigBrother_x*]

my favorate was BB7!
Then BB3
Then BB8

[cepb]

BB5 for me was the best and BB8 has probably been the worst. Possibly a bit better than BB4.

All the tasks have been a failure, all the good housemates have been evicted, and it's just been a slow and boring year. BB4 was slow, but it was my first series so I quite enjoyed it, definitely a lot more than this year.

[iem]

i've enjoyed this series, but i do think bb3 & bb5 were better than bb8.:laugh::laugh:

Glad to hear it.

Best ever, I agree.

[Wiglet]

BB8 has not lived up to my expectations I'm afraid and I had high hopes after BB7 which was a good one! That said I would not say it has been as much of a rotter as BB4 which goes down in TV history as a Big Brother I cannot recall hardly anything about........Was it even on TV?Zzzzzzzz

As a side show to the main production, I have enjoyed On the couch with the psychologists and their sometimes mixed reviews and I think Dermot has appeared to be more relaxed on BBLB. Maybe this is because Russell Brand is no longer getting all the attention for his hysterical presenting of BBBM? Who knows? Talking of BBBM have not always liked who has presented this show; was surprised by non Oz HM Pauline tho.

Back to the main show. I don't know what could be done to save it? I've watched BB grow right from the start and could it be possible that it is now coming to a natural end?????

Oh. Well that told me. :puzzled:

I'd like to think i gave a argument to your opinion that was worthy of a better response than "Nonsense! and "Lies" :bawling:

And yes i said i enjoyed it. But I can't see how anyone could find it more entertaining than BB5, or the ones that followed it.

RE: the 100K twist.
I really don't see how it affected the show.
Liam hasn't be treat any different, and the other housemates gameplay hasn't been any different than what it would have been. They didn't even seem to mind the prize money was gone!
