Everyone knows on here how much I enjoy the drama filled series, hence why I loved BB15 despite all the criticism, but I'm quite liking how relaxed it is at the minute, and on the whole the cast are pretty likeable as people which is more than can be said for last year's bunch. It's been funny, intriguing and a pleasure to watch so far. Obviously I'll need something to kick off soon but so far I've been very impressed.

..really what Jack said..although I do think there has to be a balance and that we will need drama and conflicts, atm it's nice to start off more mellow and get to know them a bit first..I think that's better as well for when there is drama, because it's easier to be more objective when you've got to know them a bit and have no huge dislikes of any..?..the last few, it seems that someone has had a really stifling personality which has stopped us seeing the others as they have had all of the airtime but this time we're seeing them all more or less equally.....hmmm, I'm even thinking..(and I hate showmances..)..that a showmance may be good in that because of the airtime showmances can get, that could really bring our interesting characters in others as the fight for airtime begins, type thing...anyway, really liking it atm...

I think it has been good so far and it has potential but I really hate the twists

It's decent enough but I can't see myself sticking out the full 10 weeks. Then again I haven't managed to watch a full series start to finish since BB13 so I think I might just be getting a little bored of the show on the whole now anyway. :laugh:

Its nearly been a week. By now, one could reasonably expect to be starting to see hidden depths to characters, get some inkling of what makes them tick underneath the superficial exterior.

Unfortunately, not a single one of them seems to have any hidden depth whatsoever. What you see is what you get. A bunch of intellectually challenged individuals. For me, this is the worst BB since it began

Haven't watched any of the highlights in full. None of the housemates are engaging. It's just sex talk, how fancies who and Eileen acting eccentric.

This series has finally gave me a reason to binge watch The Good Wife on netflix.

I'm really enjoying it so far, if had one criticism it would have liked a couple of older people, I also feel like others have already said, it does feel as though there is a Channel 4 vibe, I personal get the vibe of BB10/11 HM's, with this lot...IMHO

I like the series being a bit laid back and calmed down after previous heavy series. I don't like when the production manipulates a lot to create fraction between housemates, I find it very artificial. Let their emotions explode naturally.

I had high hopes for this series, and I like that there have been nearly zero high octane arguments, but the housemates seem to be at such a low intellectual level that they are incapable of raising it above the school yard

^ This - accurately sums up my own perception really. I am disappointed in the main so far.

Is anyone else feeling like this already about the season?
