Trash. The first half is a franchise low for the C4 era, wayyyyyyy too long of a series with way too many HMs, every storyline takes forever, a lot of the main characters are awful and not fun, there are so many boring and pointless rule breaks just because people are desperate to assert themselves as Bloody Legends, etc. IDK, BB10 was my personal nightmare of a series until BB12 came along, and then BB15, and then BB16 GOOD JOB CHANNEL 5.

I do agree that things do pick up during Week 8 (the climax of the Noirin saga was compelling and other storylines finally got to develop once she was taken out), but it is sooooo not worth suffering through the first half of the series to get there. The opening weeks are dreadful and most of the tasks are boring and repetitive. I watched the Best Bits before I made this post and I really don't miss this series at all.

Watching the launch of BB10 and I think it has the best launch night cast after BB5, BB6, BB7. People like Angel, Noirin, Sophie, Sophia, Sree, Marcus, Freddie... it has Bea too. I will never understand the hate.

top tier

a posh woman who comes in and plays romantic mindgames with the then-fan favourite? you'll never understand it? really?

I meant hate for the series, but Bea hate is another shocking thing

One of my favourites. :worship: It had some really interesting/entertaining storylines and housemates with a good variety of fun/arguments.

I voted average. I remember really liking it at times but there were also a lot of times I found it boring, there were a lot of housemates I didn't like, and it went on for way too long.

Only seen the first couple of weeks. I guess the fact that I never finished watching it is enough to assume that it wasn't a great series.

I know I already posted upthread BUT I still insist that the first half of BB10 was a franchise low for the C4 era.

Why?

Anything involving Karly Ashworth surely is a high!

Easily in my top 3. It's so underrated.

This.

One of the best and the haters will have to deal

I think it's C4's BB17. Amazing cast saved it from being an extremely subpar series. The production wasn't great.

Because nothing happened and nobody was doing anything. It was just a really lifeless show going through the motions of Big Brother for the first five or six weeks. I think things got off to a terrible start with the twist of earning HM status because the early episodes were just devoted to stupid tasks rather than introductory plots or character development. We were given no reason to care about people. And when you think about prominent storylines in the first six weeks... the only things I can think of are the Sophie/Kris relationship and the Sree/Noirin thing? No thank you.

Whilst I don't agree to the same extent, I see your point. Other than the Freddie affair and the Sree/Noirin thing it wasn't the best. However, weeks 7-10 were fantastic and even the last few weeks were better than the other 13 week equivalents I think. Definitely a late bloomer.

the second half was definitely better but the first was still good and I think a lot of fans found it refreshing to see the producers take a step back after a lot of twist heavy series before it.

Still need to get around to rewatching BB10 sometime soon. My opinion on the series was negative at the time and I don't remember all that much after seven years.

The predictability really killed the first half of the series too, I think. Each week dragged sooooo much because it was the same outcome every week: Freddie and someone else were nominated, Freddie effortlessly survived, and the other person got like 70% of the vote to evict. I literally just summarized the first month of the series for everyone, just skip to Day 30 or whatever.

You just summed up why it was so great :clap1:

It had legend Marcus, so...

Marcus........ didn't really do anything. At all.
