With Best Shows Ever TONIGHT at 9pm on E4 what do we think of binary opinions of how the show has left many contestants with lifelong hardships?

Thoughts?

He does realise that "38 year-old woman" was 22 when she made those clips? Still an adult but doesn't work as well when he's doing his "That's no 10 year-old" schtick.

I felt like I almost just watched an academically analysed video essay on Nikki's tantrums? :joker:

But yeah like everyone else I miss BB as its core but it can never come back in the same tone as it was in the 2000s as times. have changed by then.

If it ever did come back I'd like producers to aim for more naturalistic comedy rather than manipulated drama. Tbh people always complain about producer manipulation in the c5 years but as this video proves they did it just as much in the c4 years as well, especially post BB4. They were just far more subtle.

If BB ever came back I'd like to see a cast similar to the circle series 2 and I think that would be just as entertaining to watch.

It's because back then producer manipulation amounted more to a purposely claustrophobic house, or a new housemate, or a stressful task/twist. Rather than getting to the point where people were trying to "be" the next Nikki Grahame, or getting scripted scenes, or people like Gemma Collins showing off.

"It's a blizzard!" was one of my favourites.

I think the guy who made the video is a bit crass tbh, overlooking the majority of Nikki's tantrums were camera seeking and purposeful no matter how funny they would be, especially in the diary room when she knew the camera was definitely on her. So for him to look at all of her behaviour and use her anorexia to basically psycho-analyse her 14 years on is a bit crass. He's not a doctor, nor has he spoken to Nikki about her experience.
