It beats BB15 as a whole series, in just four days.

It's also a breath of fresh air from the three conflict dominated series we've had over the last year. BB15, CBB14, CBB15.

I hated bb15 right from the start this series is great

I am enjoying this series. A great mix of characters and it's so lovely not to have continual conflict for a change. I am sure it will come but it's refreshing to have some fun as well. I am hoping that will be the case this series. It's just a shame that the ratings, so far, are suffering. People only seem to want to tune in when people are continually yelling at each other unfortunately.

Is it only getting a good response because it isn't BB15 though? I agree with you that it's nice to not have constant conflict, but I'd rather to who fancies who, and constant sex innuendo.

Tbh I want a series like CBB13 again that had conflict, fun, bitching, crude jokes, and the appalling showmances.

It's only Day 4, give it at least, till after the first eviction.

I can't imagine a Civilian equivalent of CBB13. That would be great though.

No awful Helen character dominating the camera helps.

iRyan 15-05-2015 11:44 PM

Agreed, there is something that feels nostalgic about this series already. I know it's so early on, but i'm getting much better vibes from it than I did last series.

I will, but I want to see different conversations away from romance, and sex.

His the biggest character of this series, but I'm getting fed up with him too, and that crying fit tonight was awful, nearly as bad as Harriet's.

Yes,He is a twat but not such an overbearing camera hogging twat as Helen imo.

Stop bringing up Helen. She's so 2014.

I think his took more screentime in his first week than Helen did in hers imo.

I do agree with you that she dominated with an iron fist in sequel weeks.

Some parts remind me of old BB and some parts are still very "Channel 5"

uniquedude 16-05-2015 12:07 AM

The twist was tacky though that's what's putting people off, it's like an desperate attempt from the producers to shock. So far this is nothing like a c4 series, at least not production wise.

Jason. 16-05-2015 12:09 AM

That twist reminded me of BB8. For some reason.

Did anyone else have that vibe?

Maneki-neko 16-05-2015 12:26 AM

I get what you mean in a way, the cast is more Channel 4-esq and the feeling of the series is quite good.

But the Channel 5 over-produced try-hardiness is still there.

I don't mind all of that, TBH.

I'm just glad the feel of the show isn't as tacky as it was in 2011-2012.

"true colours" my arse I would have accepted the £27,000 car what would that say about me Im greedy and selfish? Or I grasped a great opportunity? BB decides the prize fund not a housemate it would have never stayed at 0 because majority of the housemates would walk out by the end.

Glenn. 16-05-2015 01:20 AM

The series is a lot more toned down to previous series on C5. They have a great cast and a great house. Marcus is less annoying than he normally is but I fear that won't last as the series goes on.

The twist tonight was utter rubbish mainly because it failed to have the desired effect which means it wasn't thought through properly. They panicked which was where Nick came in with his face to face nominations.

There's only so many ways to create shock value with these twists. Tonight's was just a rehashed version of Eugene taking half the prize money in BB6.

BigBrotherfan4ever 16-05-2015 06:43 AM

Im really enjoying this series so ....far, it does my remind me of C4 days ie possibly BB10 & BB11 I get that vibe from these HM's.

I thought that too tbh. I thought the twist would be something similar to BB8 Week 3 when the nominees had to choose one other HM to give the 'prize fund' to.

OMFG, yes that.
And how Tracey was offered a car in a task, to show she wasn't selfish.
