I didnt even know Waterloo Road existed

Worst series ever. Couldn't even hold my attention past the first weekend. No Davina and Brian is rubbish, no live feed, rubbish line up, hate the highlights.

bring back BB8!!

its a shadow of what it used to be. At least in the later years after they ditched the psychology shows there was still realism and a gameshow element. Now theres just nothing, its just feels all wrong and false

Its clear why Patrick likes it. He is 15, this show caters for kids. It is tacky, cheesy and not funny. Can not even compare with the Channel 4 series' and I think anyone that can think this is superior was never a true BB fan.

Patrick, great post and I agree with every word you say on it.

6/10

I'm really hoping the main series is better.

If its a 1/10then why are you still watching? It doesnt make sense to watch something that you dislike, surely?

Indeed and tonight was my last episode. I was giving it a chance because I have loved roughly 1156 episodes of BB and giving up immediately would be idiotic and rash. Now I have had enough time to judge and its ****e.

I'm not a kid.

You're acting as if I've only watched this series? I've watched Big Brother for years and witnessed the glory days just as the rest of you did.

I'm not saying it's the greatest series ever.

BB5 - BB7 piss all over it, but it's not as bad as you're all making out.

If you put this series up against the likes of BB11 and BB8, I mean really.. you'll say how good it is.

The only good thing about BB10 was Marcus.

This year's tasks aren't that good but they're better than BB10s, the house is better than BB10s and yeah Big Brother 10 might of had more interesting storylines than Kerry and Lucien's dull 'romance' but that's because it was on for 13 Weeks and wasn't rushed.

One thing this series has in common with BB10 is no Live Feed, but even without Live Feed this series is more interesting, BB10 got hard to watch towards the end.

Also - I for one HATE the outside contact tasks such as John James and JJ's Horse thing and BB10's Alien Task.

But I found Jedward running around a supermarket at 1AM far more hilarious and entertaining than watching miserable Lisa sit on a bus while David Ramsden randomly shouted Nanu Nanu at bypassers.

Are you actually having a laugh? Kerry Katona, CURRENT? Jedward and Amy are famous because of reality shows. Channel 4 would never have had them on their series.

Compare this years line up to last years line up. A world of difference, last years was a lot more diverse, even the year before with Ulrika and Verne. this years line up is just the dregs that would be making up the numbers in past years. and to think they're doing another "celebrity" BB in 4 months time :joker:

You drew a BB eye on your hand in felt tip and are claiming to not be a kid. Something doesn't add up there?

This series is immature, set up and has no relevance to the Big Brother name. BB11 and BB8 were not the best series' I agree but they in my opinion **** all over this. It's fine for you to like this CBB but to say that its is a great series full stop is ridiculous. It is not Big Brother in my opinion and it is just trashy reality for the sake of reality tv now with no direction or purpose. And for me it is as bad as I make out as everything is an opinion.

Stop pretending this series is better than BB10. Give it a week or two after the final when the fanboy hysteria has died down and you'll rate BB10 above it again I guarantee.

Honestly I'd rather BB8 to this. At least it was still Big Brother. In fact it's starting to look pretty bright right now. I could still throw on live feed and listen to them having a chat in the caravan and follow it as a proper, traditional Big Brother.

You're missing my point Tom.

We live in the UK - most of our celebrities are famous because of Reality Shows, hence Jedward and Amy Childs.

And what was the FIRST thing that made ordinary people become famous?

Big Brother.

So Jedward and Amy are celebrities, they might not be for long - especially not Amy, but at this moment they are and that's what gets ratings.

This year's launch was alot more talked about than last year.

No one sat up last year on Twitter and Facebook going on about how fantastic and amazing it was that Katia Ivanova, Stephanie Beacham, Ivana Trump or Heidi Fleiss were entering the house.

Where as this year - everyone was talking about it and the hype was fantastic.

Anyone watching X Factor tomorrow? See the first exclusive look at some of the CBB9 housemates ;)

I never rated BB10 as a good series, compared to BB11/BB8 - it was amazing but compared to any other series? It sucked balls and that was down to the production team, not the housemates.


It's called having abit of craic FFS, don't get how it makes anyone a kid?

You've been going on for 2 weeks now how much you hate this series and how it isn't Big Brother - It's changed, get over it and stop watching then honestly - why don't you just turn it off?

I'm not telling you to - I think everyone has a right to do and watch what they want, unlike Marcus Bentley who told you to switch off.

But I'm asking you, WHY don't you just turn it off if you really despise it that much?

You are taking trivial things like Twitter and your own mates too seriously and as usual using it as a barometer to gauge the nation as a whole. You keep saying it's more talked about but the bottom line is last years celebrity series had more viewers. A lot more.

Last years series was talked about a lot more. You keep insinuating probably through wishful thinking that once again Big Brother is some sort of nationwide phenomena talked up and down the country but really ... it's not.

they really dont

Opportunity Knocks in the 70s might have something to say about that

The ratings are crap. It started level with last years BB and now its fallen below BB10.

That depends on who you speak to

Meanwhile last CBB was the most watched series since BB8 in 2007. Stephanie Beacham was a big name a few years ago, Ivana is well known too. Heidi was controversial, and Katia was just making up the numbers. Katia in this year would probably be the headlining celebrity. Its fine that they go for people who get tabloid interest, but beyond day 2 what does that matter? They need a good mix of people to keep things interesting, people with interesting backgrounds and good life stories to tell. This lot are one dimensional and because most have been on reality shows or lived their lives through the papers theres nothing new to learn about them

No they weren't

- 36.8

BB10 was absolutely terrible, this series is a lot better.

I have turned off. I missed 2 episodes this week and did not catch up plus tonight was the final straw. I will not continue to watch. 2 weeks was plenty enough to judge it and I have. I am not a fan of Big Brother on Channel 5 at all.

a very generous 3/10. Thats because I do quite like some of the production values and the house itself.

and in defence of Lucien he has actually been in top TV shows so is far more celeb worthy than some of the others.

Apart from Bobby, Paddy and Sally i would count them as well known celebs. Sure last year had a couple of A-listers but that was it. Katia, Lady sov, Dane Bowers? I mean comeon!

Dont even know where to start with this post. For your own sake I hope your username means you were born in 1995

5/10, I would have rated it higher if Jedward wasn't in it as they've made the show incredibly childish. At times I think it wouldn't go amiss on CBBC.
