Halfway point of the series (almost). How do you rate it as of now?
 

I think it´s a hot mess at best. Way too many twists. 3 or 4.

8/10. It's been given a boost by the addition of Nikki and Brian. I don't like them getting to choose the nominees though, should have been a normal diary room noma week, we've not had one yet. Marc would have been up for sure.

I'll give it a two because I enjoyed the first three weeks.

A 1 or a 2 tbh. Probably my least fave ever

6/10. Not brilliant, not terrible (yet). I'd have rated it higher prior to 4 In 4 Out.

Possibly the worst ever.

Yeah, it's probably going to end up being the worst one ever.

I'm having a great time with it this year. The more it winds me up the more I enjoy it.

Absolutely dire!!!

I think it's going to be a very close race between this year and last year for the worst ever.
Last year's had more going on but it will be forever infected by the farce that was giving the most vile housemate ever a pass to the final and then adding insult to injury by making sure said vile housemate won!!! The whole sorry mess was such a massive insult to real BB fans.

This year they picked a terribly boring bunch of wannabe's with so little going for them and then when they realized how badly they'd screwed up they tried 'fixing' it in the most ridiculous way ever (which could have been brilliant if it hadn't been managed in the same way as casting the original housemates had been!) and they've just continued to make a truly terrible series!!!
They obviously decided that they'd done such a great job last year that they'd push it even further this year and take away the tiny amount of control the viewers and the housemates had by pretty much deciding who 'they' were going to nominate and evict every week!!!
I'm sad to say it but i think this series is going to get even worse as well (i know it's hard to believe but if anyone can do it this bunch of ****tards are the people for the job!).

Marc saved the series for me, when he gets evicted the show is over.

the show's been over for like three weeks now though?

when marc goes the show will be saved

It's just all over the place with the 4/4 and these old housemates. I'd give it a 6/10 so far. BB15 is starting to look better, at least it was a lot more consistent week to week.

7/10

I imagine it going downhill soon as this week is over.

6/10. The 4 in 4 out saved it for me. The whole Jade/Nick thing and aaron's antics dominated it or were at least the only talking points I can even remember, up until that point, I found it boring. It needed something drastic. Jade is not up to being the main protagonist (and nor was any other original)

All the new contestants have been centre of many conversations/debates; some of the topics on the originals are laboured to put it kindly. Marc has livened things up (I was maybe seeing it 3/4 times a week but haven't missed an episode since he joined) This week has also livened things up although it does reek a little of desperation and makes me wonder where they will go with it when the old contestants leave; there's going to be a big void. I think they are banking on their presence of having some long-lasting effect which I'm not sure it will given the fickle nature of those in the house and us viewers outside of it.

Ch5 is slowly creating a rod for their own back with this show by constantly pushing twists and variations and now it's a vicious circle where the audience binges on them yet are never really fully satisfied so it's on to the next one. I'm not convinced the more 'traditional' formats are going to truly satisfy many either though. It must of been around the years (give or take 2 or 3) when Brian won and Ch4 lost it/gave it away? BB was in a decline by then and I like so many turned off because it had become boring (I only came back to it this year because I enjoyed (maybe not the best word) CBB so much btw) They need to find a finer balance between tradition (i.e. astutely timed live feeds, greater integrity of the nomination process and a greater degree of sacredness of what is said between the housemates) whilst also still providing me and my girlfriend 'high 5 moments' when they drop the twists on the monitor; big fan of these but they could do with some tweaks i.e dump them straight in and don't take the wind out of the sails with an immediate nomination at least not in the diary room!

theyre stirring too much thus arguments become repetitive meaningless and contrived...let housemates build real friendships etc give them time to grow then test them, then youll get proper deeper emotions and feelings...this is over produced pantomime

..yeah I would totally agree with this...even stuff like the exes going in has only for me brought a little excitement of ooooo and then flat again..it's just not really maintaining much interest...mind I guess that it doesn't help that I'm only dipping in and out of it atm but then I think that's also because it isn't holding interest for me...it's like a TV soap where you could miss several episodes and still catch up with storyline quite easily....

I liked it before the 4 in 4 out twist which has turned it into a 1 for me as the newcomers have changed the whole tone of the series and not for the better imo.

Depends, in terms of big brother its a 3/4 but in terms of a tv show its still like an 8. I watch it every night so I must be enjoying, just not good for Big Brother

For me this is one of the worst BB's that I've watched.

I'll give it a 4. **** cast and way too many twists.

8/10 since the newbies & legends came in, I'm loving it, so much better than last year imo

It's not even the halfway point yet and I feel like this season has been on FOREVER.

Tbh when someone talked about Kieran the other day on the forum I actually could not remember who he was, this season has dragged on, full of forgettable housemates and way too focused on twists and confrontation instead of just letting the show progress naturally (if only they had a good range of hm's)

I'd give it a 3 or 4

6, I'm enjoying it

terrible which is a shame because it was the closest to a C4 big brother we have had prior to the 4 in/out rubbish

Could've been great... ruined it.
