I'd rank it just behind BB14 in terms of C5 series. Easily one of the best - the eviction order was spot on (besides Lateysha's eviction - she should've replaced Jason in the final) , there was some great character development (Laura Carter anyone?), a messy twist which flopped but was funny at the same time (sorry but BB playing crowd noises over two arguing housemates in broad daylight was HILARIOUS.) It had the best friendship since Ginxter (Evelyn/Laura, which was overtook by Chanelle and Raph), Jayne (easily one of my favourite housemates ever), and a pretty diverse cast for a C5 series (4 LGBT Housemates, 4 40+ housemates, a black woman, an Asian woman, I'm not sure on Chelsea's ethnicity... oh and an American if we're really pushing it). Lateysha's Diary Room mishap (also "just because I've not got any GSE's...", "I live off chocolate digestives", and something from Launch - I think it was her flashing not realising a camera was there until Sam picked it out), Jayne's sponge incident, Charlie storming off crying every 2 minutes, and that messy live reveal of the two houses (the half hour reveal being 20 minutes because the episode just stopped for 10 minutes :skull: also "oh my god that's my mam!" "really?" "no" made me scream, and also "Hi I'm Jayne Connery, I'm 49 and I raise awareness for dementia!" while everyone else just said their names :skull:)
I just wish the second house was used more (they used it for a task maybe and when the main house flooded like ok?), Lateysha wasn't evicted, the series was 2 weeks longer (only if the eviction order was kept the same besides swapping Lateysha for Jason - except Annihilation week filled up some live evictions so Laura's still evicted a week before the final and Sam and Alex are evicted on Monday - or better yet, Laura isn't evicted and instead replaces trashy Jackson), we had a better finale and result (Jayne and Evelyn deserved higher than crummy Jackson at LEAST)
