I was sceptical at first but actually love it now, I didn't like the aftershow much though .

I've imagined in my head taking one of the remaining housemates out the house and how things would work out. The only one that I feel I would miss is jordan. I think without him this series would have been the worst in history.

Completely ruined by the ineptitude of the production team and cast selection staff

Inconsistent punishments , some rule breaks were not punished at all

Unfair treatment of Trish by the production team who were also guilty of not offering her any protection against the bullying and allowing the downstairs crew to steal and stash booze and goodies most nights

Why wasn’t that regarded as a rule break !!!!

Yes Ammi

Having New Younger Staff
made this far better than the Ch5 teams,
who had some from the Ch4 teams.

I think its great, it is back
well done ITV2HD

I can already feel the booo's
that will be Live at 9PM
on both ITV1HD & ITV2HD

This series has been very well cast. I think that's what I like the most about it really.

Even though they outnumbered the downstairs lot only Henry and Yinrun from memory got a visit .. not the most deserving as in Trish or Noky or Matty or Jordan

Yet the most selfish, unpleasant, thieving ones got a visit !

That’s on top of the them giving immunity to bloody Chanelle of all people then being granted a visit from her dad

It’s almost laughable

Outrageous and grossly unfair - just about sums up the series as a whole

They could have done a lot better than Tom , Farida , Kerry and Paul !!

Imagine this series with another FOUR decent housemates

I actually think the "diversity tick list" was a good thing. It's been a good series. They could use the "diversity tick list" again for the next series. However we do need an Irish housemate. It could benefit for being on longer. Next series they could try 8 weeks. I do miss a new housemate going in half way through but they didn't need it this series.

6/10

Good to spend some time with, the HMs are decent, but with no really memorable tasks or legendary moments.

TBH, the HMs all seemed to be holding back and still seem to be. The banter has been muted and cautious... As if they all know that the one wrong word will have the 'progressive' tyrants on them like rabid wolves to ruin them for life. Some of them probably would have been legendary in earlier seasons.

This is as good as BB can be in the modern day though I think, even with Remarkable TV's cack handed production team.

We will never see the likes of BB5 again.

Any problems I have with it are things that could easily be ironed out if they wanted to. Fewer, more multi layered tasks that are allowed to breathe over a few days. 24/7 live feed. More intensive, in-depth eviction interviews.

Hopefully they're satisfied with these ratings and take them as encouragement to keep to the same relatively basic format and casting principals. Yes it's been edited, no it's not Big Brother 2000 but I actually think the modernisation/social conscious aspect of it has been a complete success.

People will bemoan some of that, whilst others will chortle that it's Big Brother at the end of the day, but they have willingly included discussions on politics and identity. At length. In multiple epidodes. Which - unless you're weirdly threatened by them things - can only be a good thing. In that respect the show's actually become a mirror to society again (even including the reactions of those who don't like that sort of content.)

It also seems really bereft of aged, trashy reality show cliches and tropes. I can't imagine if you were commissioned to write a hand wringing article on how awful Big Brother is you could really do much on it this year.

Thumbs up.

Good summary, I've really enjoyed this series and found it very immersive television. I'll miss it when it's over but I think the length is about right for this day and age where the reality TV market is so saturated and there's all the streaming competition as well

I would like to see more creative and strategic tasks next series. The ones this year have been okay but a little reliant on props and costumes etc. rather than the concepts

Dont you dare bad mouth kerry.:nono:

Jokes aside, sorry for being rude to you, I just didnt know. I understand aspergers, lived with a growing up teen into his adulthood, all the way into becoming a teacher.

We cool?

So a week from the final and....

Is it what you thought it would be?

We were so hyped for it coming back. Has it lived up to your expectations.

Personally for me....no. I have liked the housemates but none of them have entered my iconic favourites list. And the storylines have been meh. It feels like a non event. Very forgettable. Some good tasks here and there. It's been watchable. But it probably enters the league's of BB16 to BB18 for me. Which is a shame. If it hasn't been for Yinrun, I wouldn't be routing for any of them and I'm far more excited for I'm a celebrity

Whoops sorry yeah put it in that thread
