i agree with whoever said that viewers have ruined the booze nights cause they complain to ofcom

is there that much complaints when they're drinking though? most of the crap that people give out over happens when they're sober

Ive only seen one very old series. BB4 USA. It was very good, tactics, as you can imagine the games were better as the makers of BB USA must be minted! lol.

It seems like the UK version cannot afford the housemates to have booze.

The games are very well thought up, and arent cheap. It's like a proper gameshow.

It's fcking turd, I haven't watched it properly for about a week.

We lost too many characters early on and the producers picked a massivley dislikeable bunch of people to go in there, none of them are particularly entertaining either. It seems like there's not much effort or thought going into tasks or activities either, just a pure crap series. Bring on All Stars!

We are talking about the larger picture, not individual HMs, but as you mention it... Ben hasnt been interesting in the last 2 weeks- he has 100% done a Mario (seemed funny and interesting when given solo tasks and the camera time, but become wallpaper when left to his own devices). I could also go on about how Josie has consistently delivered.

But, lets not turn this into a HM vs HM thread...

I think it's pretty undeniable that the lack of booze has impacted on the drama/ fun.

Vesavius Ben hasn't been shown simply cause the producers seem to have this thing that JJ fancies josie and vice versa when it clearly isn't going anywhere.

Booze is just a excuse they lack personality. If we're complaining about them not been interesting without booze then it clearly shows the show sucks

lol no, Ben hasnt been shown because he has done nothing worth being shown. I watch LF and he is on auto pilot, punctuated by 5 hour spiteful slagging sessions.

If you honestly think that about booze in the house, you are either being naive or just contrary for the sake of it. Of course booze creates a load of wtf moments, it has in every season and made every season more funny. C'mon... your not a newb... think back...

Same here :| he was actually quite cute and funny at times, if he didn't bitch as much and just relaxed and enjoyed himself he'd have been brilliant TV!

I'm having a great time watching it this year. Can't believe it's going to finish for good :(

Of course booze brings conflict but does this show that you have no great expections with these hm's been fun without booze.

And Josie hasn't been bitching or anyone else at that matter.

No, it's because it's a sh*t series. Nobody in there is in the slightest entertaining.

Thats the thing though. The havnt fed them booze AT ALL!

Giving them a mesely can of lager or 2 glasses of wine is just pathetic.

I didnt say they hadnt ;)


It's hard to compare this series to some of the classics though I think... you can't compare a party with a free bar to one with soft drinks imo.

I totally agree with you 70% of the HMs have been boring, but I think thats mainly because they have been allowed to hide behind their carefully constructed facades and been allowed to reveal nothing and take no risks. Booze, and the fall out after booze, is a massive cure to that.

I think it's true that you don't know most people properly until you have either got drunk with them or fought with them.

So far so good. Maybe one of the best casts yet. Tasks have been decent. Some clever socio-psychological things going on.

The 'negative' was the mistake they made putting that loud-mouthed attention idiot who pretty much ruined everything for everyone for about 3 or 4 weeks. I stopped watching entirely for the last few weeks she was there,
but,
now that she is gone and replaced with more interesting HMs then its great again.

Yes, its a great final season now and I think they can make up the damage caused by that stupid Shabby-Camomile bullshlt that really lost them a few weeks.

I'm not yet calling this 'the best season ever' but its well on the way to becoming one of my favourite top 3 seasons.

Great stuff BB!!

Its why nothing happens. BB cannot afford booze so they supply 1 can to each, and they wonder why the housemates are bored.

FILL THEM WITH BOOZE EVERYNIGHT I say!!! :devil:

Ha, yeah. I don't find Ben entertaining anymore tbh, he's done nothing for weeks. He just sits back and watch other people, he just wants a pass to the final, it's safe to get rid of him now. JJ on the other hand just bores me to tears, he just moans and argues with Josie ;/ he was good for the first two weeks but ever since he's just been horrible imo. We should have got rid of him last week while we had the chance :(
