My favourite series

It's one of my favourite series. Up there with BB2 in summer series.

I could have bought what Jem was saying if she wasn't such a sulking misery herself. Honestly about 95% of Jem's fan-base is down to her not liking Aaron and the other 5 for bickering with Faye from time to time.

Tbh at the time I actually quite enjoyed it, much better than bb15/16 plus I managed to watch the whole thing without feeling bored to death/annoyed to death. Maybe it was because I was younger and hadn't watched bb that much that it was still new to me.

It was way too showmance driven, and it did just become the Aaron and Jay show, everybody else was just spare parts, it's the same flaws as BB15, only I think that BB15 could've been a lot better as some of the spare parts had potential unlike the BB12 cast.

Why has useless Brian and the editing not been mentioned?

The winner

I loved BB12 :fan:

:love: great taste you have James

I think I'm gonna give this a watch. Aaron gets mentioned a lot and seems quite divisive so I want to know if I'd like him or not :laugh: Plus I still need to catch up on some CH5 series and if this one really is boring, I don't want to end with it, I'd rather get it out the way.

Not much story line wise but unlike recent series you did get a feel of pretty much all the housemates and I liked/enjoyed watching most of them, it had decent tasks and was consistent. People do the most on BB12 imo like I would deffo rate it higher that bb15 and bb16. One of BB12's main problems was that it was the first launched on c5 and the new look and editing was a shook to the system.

Also Aaron is one of the best winners x

He seems very love/hate though, depending who you ask. I get the impression he's a John James type character, someone who maybe isn't that likeable, but has depth to them, is interesting to watch etc

I've never got the hate though because he was a pretty likeable guy who never really went out to cause arguments. Most people just didn't like him because in week one he was cocky and was talking about playing the game (hated him then). Aaron was one of those people who everyone probably came to the conclusion that he was a sneaky rat because everyone said he was a sneaky rat not because of his actual behaviour.

I loved BB12, the best winner we've had on C5 as well. it wasn't the most drama filled series but it flowed well. From what i can remember Big Brother weren't obsessed with trying to stir things up and cause drama & the tasks were enjoyable. It's definitely different to any of the other C5 series.. the civilians back then were a lot less fame hungry and more of them were fans of the show.

The best thing about bb12 was Aaron. He was just fascinating!

I liked it :hee:

what Drew said, it's probably my favourite C5 series

The cast was just a bit all the same really. The young girls faded into one, despite Faye being absolutely lovely. And nothing really of note happens, I don't hate it though and it's better than the demon BB11.

I personally think it is one of the best seasons, and Aaron is the best winner C5 has had. Half the cast suck and they was trying to make it into a Made in Chelsea/Towie show being driven by so many showmances, but I think Aaron and Faye make up for it. I think people say Aaron and Jason from this season had it bad, I think Faye had one of the most emotional experiences the show has seen, I felt so bad for her everything they threw at her.

I can't even remember it after Heaven fell down the stairs.

You know how you think of a series and pin point moments you remember it was like 3 weeks it was fine, Jem popped up to slightly bring a big of life back and then it was pure **** after she quit.

I didn't like Aaron at all and still don't.

That's kind of what I loved about it, it was very about human interactions, it was as back to basics as we're ever going to see again with BB and I loved that

I think I'll really enjoy that! If a series has people that I enjoy watching just for their day to selves and their interactions, then I really don't care if there are 'events' or memorable moments. I don't remember most of what happened in series 1 for example, but I know I loved watching it... because of its simplicity, and finding the people interesting to watch (even if the things they were doing weren't interesting, if that makes sense). I'd rather that than a series with constant mindless arguments or 'house rocking action' lol that has people I've got no interest in watching.

Aaron is one of the worst winners x

Heaven keeps the series alive but then it completely dies altogether after Week 3, has a small revival for two or so week in the middle when Jem comes but then dies again soon after she leaves.

It's really dull and it's focused on showmances alot, there's very little fights and the ones that do happen are weak ones, so idk if you'd like that or not.
