CBB over CIVILIAN anyday....this is unwatchable
 
Civilian has fallen sooooooo far from grace that i think its unsalvageable.

They treat the long term fans (of 16 years) disgracefully yet pander to the fair-weather twitter followers who are granted their MTV style casting.

Teenagers now control this mess of a format. And Producers are facilitating it.

Casting directly from modelling agencies (Jale revealed that there were only two from her series that actually auditioned normally, the rest where cast from agencies)

TOWIE, Chelsea, Geordie Shore, Love island.

All obsessed with stupid, good looking people, shagging each other, having fake romances and fighting.

THAT is what our beloved civilian BB has become. Another scripted drama.

We now no longer have to contend with 1 or two showmances a series, they're trying to get them ALL having showmances.

I no longer trust the people in charge to deliver 'reality' TV.

Its abysmal

At least with Celebrity Big Brother theres a chance to have some normal looking, normal sounding people in there. Because they're cast for their name and not their face/6 pack.

I thought you didn't like people being negative over BB?

I'm much prefering this than the last 3 years so far, I hope they keep it up?

JPG2502 11-06-2016 10:26 AM

well yeah C5 do CBB far better than civilian.

Smithy 11-06-2016 10:26 AM

Honestly I prefer CBB because even though the housemates might be Z listers they're not all complete fake wannabes

I think this is the strongest start there's been to a C5 series tbh. The MTV-style casting is to be expect because of Viacom and the direction C5 has taken the show, but I think the twist itself is working quite well so far.

You sure do have something against teenagers huh

Daniel. 11-06-2016 10:36 AM

It's the best since 14

I ALWAYS prefer Civilian mainly because sometimes the so called celebrity line ups make me want to puke

This isn't even CIVILIAN BB it a mock up of CBB

Black Dagger 11-06-2016 10:44 AM

Well I'm really enjoying it and the majority of C5 CBB's are overrated trash :clap1:

alex_front2 11-06-2016 10:45 AM

BB is now Love Island #2

Cal. 11-06-2016 10:48 AM

Nope its been repellent.

elliebrew 11-06-2016 10:49 AM

I avoid these types of people like the plague in my life, why would i want to watch them on TV for 10 weeks?

Give me ordinary people with interesting stories any day

Vanessa 11-06-2016 10:50 AM

I think it's brilliant and that's thanks to the diverse cast. So many different and strong personalities. We still have people who do nothing all day and they're the ones we need to evict.

Barbara from Greggs can stay at home and continue to make her pasties, thinking she can get 10 weeks off so she can tell her stories about her 17 cats.

Mystic Mock 11-06-2016 10:54 AM

Ch5 want people to prefer CBB as they can actually cast TOWIE people on that programme.

ebandit 11-06-2016 10:57 AM

as chuff stated...every aspect of this season looks like CBB

There are a lot of fiery people in there. Even the other House has a great cast.

Yes, I knew this lot would clash. And just wait if Natalie gets in the main House. She's so argumentative :joker:
