Would you say this series has been a bit of a flop?
 
There hasn't been any real arguments, or conflict. Or massive disagreements.

Once India was out, it's been a pretty sedate place.

Dull housemates like Jess, Maggie, Ginuwine, Ashley, Shane L and even Malika haven't earned their bucks in my view.

The ongoing showmances. The boring 'is he or isn't he gay?' Andrew thing. The constant dirty talk from Shane J, quite frankly now very boring.

It's just the same old, same old...

nope not a flop for me, my sweetie Ashley going to the final :D

They planned on there being clashes but due to the type of celebrities they've gotten, they just haven't happened. Even the reality stars have been mild ones: Jess, Ashley, Jonny, Malika, Andrew and Shane J aren't exactly known for being crazy and extreme.

Ashley is the kween of calmth and that kween is hopefully back now :love:

This series would have been a lot better if Natalie Nunn, Drita D'Avanzo and Melissa Reeves had gone in on launch night over Malika, Jess and Ashley. I do like Jess and Ashley though.

It’s interesting but not as exciting or conventionally entertaining as like let’s say Kim woodburn vs the house

Is Ashley a reality star? What is she even from I thought she was a social media personality

Yes very much so, no dramas ,2 fake showman's ... not riveting tv at all, will go down in CBB history as being a boring flop

not a flop at all - enjoyed the different style of CBB instead of the GOGOGO controversial all the time.

I've loved more than any series in a longtime

She was on Made in Chelsea a good five years ago now. I really don't know why they got her they must have just plucked her name out of thin air. Jess was also a strange casting considering she last appeared on Ex on the Beach 18 months ago and isn't really a note worthy cast member from the show.

Best series in ages.
More like a proper BB rather than some of the trash so called reality shows are churning out these days.

No I don't this this is the case Rachel thanked the producers for coming through on their promise that this would be a true social experiment rather than manufactured reality


I haven't missed a show

montblanc 24-01-2018 12:52 PM

i think a lot of people on this forum were bigging it up too early on because i remember on like the second highlights episode everyone was calling it one of the best series ever and i was so confused on where people were getting that from :joker: it's been a little disappointing but i never expected it to be a highly entertaining series :blush:

MTVN 24-01-2018 12:55 PM

I've really enjoyed it but it's gonna go down as a big ratings glop sadly

GiRTh 24-01-2018 12:56 PM

Its petering out a little for me, but still the best for ages. I haven't liked some of the twists allowing certain Hm's to escape nomination/eviction.

Yeah, that's my only complaint really, the nomination twists. I'd like a series where they just do normal nominations all the time

Tom4784 24-01-2018 01:02 PM

Conflict is an cheap way to judge how good a season has been. This series has started off great but has lost it's shine a bit. It's still better than most C5 seasons though.

Ashley. 24-01-2018 01:05 PM

I hate that they got rid of the shopping tasks. Always used to look forward to them.

jaxie 24-01-2018 01:09 PM

I have enjoyed it, for me best series for years.

chris.g 24-01-2018 01:10 PM

One of the best in a long time - no forced conflict every single night, it's been nice to watch people interact and not just screaming and shouting at each other all the time. It also feels better produced this year.

Vicky. 24-01-2018 01:10 PM

No, I have really enjoyed it and its been quite refreshing to have a series that does not revolve around getting pissed and shouty every day

Agree. Old school no contrived twists.
