Yes, but it still left a sour taste in a lot of people's mouths that a horrible person had won, whereas if Ashleigh had won I would probably look back at the season with a better view than I do now, I would still see it as trash, but it would be good knowing that in the end, the good housemate won.

I must say I prefer the Timebomb theme, compared to Power Trip on paper.

But, the Timebomb theme isn't that. It's just the producers chance to add twists and meddle to save their favourites. Most of the twists have actually had nothing to do with time, rendering the theme pointless and irrelevant.

At least with Power Trip, it was linked with Power. If that makes sense.

Therefore, I think Power Trip was the better one.

Fair point.

They could have done so much more with the timebomb theme but all they have done is substitute it for the word twist.

Exactly!
How the heck is Jade's luxury relating to time?

As horrible as Power Trip was, you can atleast say they did a lot with the theme, it was just executed appallingly.

I think they also messed up with last Friday's twist, by bringing back Showbiz, as it completely rendered the launch night twist pointless, especially after the hype of evicting someone on the first night.

Now if they do that in future series, it won't be the same as it will already had been done before, but not even used properly.

Big Brother is basically a trainwreck and has lost the public support it once had. Only January CBB has thrown the franchise a life vest because it genuinely makes people interested

I agree.
You can tell how the vibe is different in comparison.

Back in January, during CBB15, there was a spark, and sense of hype.
Now, it's just something to watch at 10pm.

For the first three weeks only bb15 wins hands down.

The theme was better for bb15 and seemed a lot more consistent
tasks were better
housemates were worse however after the 4out4in housemates for this series are worse.

Frustrating how easy it would be to fix as well.

Next year they could have a 'vintage' theme where they use the format of C4. Normal nominations almost every week, twists being rare and not too extreme, bringing back live feed, letting the producers take a step back and stop manipulating housemates, give us a cast of natural people, and don't have a million people up for eviction each week.

Then keep that format as a regular thing. Also show regular conversations about little things, not just arguments.

First two weeks of Timebomb > entire series of Power Trip.

BB16 by far, cause I like most of the HM's, where as I didn't find many BB15 very likeable.
