...are some FMs (who have debated aplenty on the forums) now saying it was 'cr*p' or 'one of the worst'.

I think these are still in the minority and many FMs have left now. Thinking about past threads here and at DS, it appears the majority enjoyed the series on the whole, particularly due to:

1. The characters
2. The friction and factions that arose
3. The stroylines that developed

In that way it was like a return to form in terms of the BB 'social dynamics' experiment.

The downsides were lack of LF, and the characters that made it interesting being evicted (but this is normal). The producers lost the plot a bit, and seemed not to care much anymore, but this was also down to some of the more rebellious HMs (particularly Marcus and Siavash), who made it funny and interesting (although Vash could get a bit annoying towards the end).

It seems to be the same over at DS. They are all jumping up and down for months, spending endless and endless hours on the forums....and then at the end, some of the very same FMs say 'it was sh*t'.

Sounds like a group of Victor Meldrews to me!
