It did have its appeal which is why 3.6 million watched it and a fair few enjoyed it, myself included. I know it wasn't the best but it was still a good series and deserves more credit than it gets. It tried to incorporate a lot of successful elements from previous series such as the logo and theme of the series (both similar to BB5), the house was made bigger (BB3) and designed to be bright and garish (BB6), it marked the return of the divide (BB3) but with a HoH twist (which fans had wanted adapted properly rather than how it was executed for only 1 week back in BB4), the HMs were picked as colourful characters (much like BB6), and Fight Night II bears similarities to Fight Night I (BB5). You could argue it relied too heavily on unoriginal ideas, and that they weren't as good as when first used, but all in all effort was made to recapture the success and they're still memorable moments that made BB9 memorable. Also the tasks were more livelier and colourful than BB7 and 8's lull.
The HMs had more to offer than BB8's lot. Luke and Bex were an unlikely romance, Rex was an uber villain/anti-hero, Dale was like an extremely vain Anthony, Alexandra made Charley look like an angel, Mo was disgusting yet almost comedic, same with Mikey, Belinda was like Vanessa Feltz, Darnell was a volatile character, Lisa and Mario were a great character, and Sara reamisn oen of BB's best babes.
The winner isn't necessarily indicative of the quality of their respective series. Anthony was an undeserving winner (the Rachel Rice of BB6) but BB6 is regarded as a great series.
BB9 has mixed reviews but BB10 was more diverse. IMO BB10 was very stale and wasn't a great celebration of 10 years of BB, it's when the rule book really started to get ripped up, and the house was very, very basic and sh!t. 5.3 million watched but I think CBB6, Jade's death and the launch night twist caused it to drastically drop to just 2.5 million. |
