[QueenCharley]

14 did get boring towards the end and many of the finalists were not interesting but it was still a great series, so I'd say 14 > 17.

I still think 17 is quite overrated. The second house idea was pretty much a flop because it was exposed almost instantly and didn't really serve any purpose. The cast was okay but definitely had a lot of deadweight that flew under the radar while the entertaining people left and it was too short of a series to really feel special... I much prefer 18 than 17.
