Series Decay
 
where a series starts out promising... but goes stale and, well, rotten, fast. This can be caused by a massive hype at the start of the series but then it actually not matching up to expectation or all the characters of the series
will this series be a victim? (I think so) and what other series of BB has this happened to?

Ashley fake showmance is ruining this series now a bit

Imo this series will be better in its second half. We’re halfway through and you can see tensions clearly building, I don’t think it’ll take too long before a few arguments start happening (providing the right people go, we need Ann, Rachel, Malika, Andrew and to an extent Jess, Courtney and Daniel to stay)

I really like it. One of my favourite CBB's with a huge diverse in ages

I've actually stopped watching...

Niamh. 19-01-2018 02:12 PM

I'm loving it still, it's evolving very organically :think:

I think the fact is there haven't been many arguments since India left.

I was starting to feel this series was going downhill but the last few episodes especially last nights were really enjoyable.

There's a definite change going on in the house and Im loving watching the slow burning tension building. The second half of this series is where we are going to see housemates finally crack.

Except we're in danger of losing Rachel tonight who seems to be causing a lot of the trouble

same, I don't really understand the view that it is boring, it is what fans have been asking for for years, minimal interference, and apart from nominations so far its been just that...

Yeah same here, a proper "social experiment" like what BB originally started out as let the natural progression into arguments, annoyances, frustrations happen itself and it pretty much always will when you throw a group of people who don't know eachother into a small, restrictive environment like that. It feels more authentic than playing back bits of conversations to try and stir s**t etc

Yep 100%, it's like people want a return to the almost scripted TOWIE-esque version we've had the last few years...........NOOOOOOOOO

JerseyWins 19-01-2018 03:15 PM

It has still been very boring when I thought it was going to improve but it's been just as boring since the beginning, if not worse before. :shrug:

I didn’t say it was
To fans of the show they can get excited about a series and overrate it from the beginning which then it goes downhill

Jason. 19-01-2018 04:38 PM

BB16 springs to mind.

Had potential to be a great series but they tampered with it to the point it became the worst ever series.

smudgie 19-01-2018 04:42 PM

Best series in years.
Fancy that, putting REAL people in a reality show....beggar me it actually works.:cheer2:

y.winter 19-01-2018 04:48 PM

I don't think it's the case... just yet.

Yes, losing India meant that we're now subjected to Ashleuwine (which is always a bad plan b) and whatever Andrew thinks he's doing and the gender theme could easily fall flat. Fortunately, we have Ann to keep the conflicts brewing. Rachel, Malika, Shane J, Wayne and Amanda all contribute to the drama/comic relief this series. The tasks are on point. As Niamh said, the plot evolves organically.

Things slow down, but it's only natural. It's still a good series and there are few weeks to go.

I don't think they've tampered with this series. Not compared to what they have done in recent years

Oaker 19-01-2018 05:05 PM

It was never that good to begin with, the first 4 days were alright but I never understood people saying it was the best series ever!!! when even CBB19 had a better first week imo :shrug:

Then when people evicted India who was the only interesting housemate it went to trash. I do find it funny when I see people who voted to save Jonny complain that the series is boring though :smug:

Oh yeah, I know. I was just replying to the part where Tom was asking if there were any other series that started off promising at first but then lost steam as it went on.

In fact I'm happy they haven't pushed the panic button this series and continued to let things play out naturally, despite the low ratings. Sure it can be uneventful at times, but I'd take that over a convoluted shambles of a series any day.

Strictly Jake 19-01-2018 05:32 PM

It definitely happened to bb16 which was pretty great on its first week then went awful it's happened quite a lot of times in different series

Then again I'm still loving this series

GoldHeart 19-01-2018 06:01 PM

Yeah the tampering is tiresome and annoying. Could of done without the nomination twist :rolleyes: .

Agreed, I think this series started really strong then slacked off a bit for a few days but then the last few episodes have been really good viewing imo. I think C5 have actually done most things right as well. It's obviously not the type of series that draws people in though judging by the ratings

more decay

MTVN 19-01-2018 09:37 PM

Yeah Maggie, huge loss..

Jason. 19-01-2018 09:38 PM

Started out as a cavity, now it needs extraction!

Jake. 19-01-2018 11:27 PM

Problem is that people have become adjusted to “explosive” starts to a series. This is the first series in a while (apart from CBB20 but that was crap) where it’s taken longer for things to heat up but (imo) it’s been a nice change
