The problem is that alot of the other series have been cack since BB7. For me this year was a return to form after 5 years of crap starting with the appalling all female week 1 BB8.
BB12 would have been better if Mark had stayed, and there was a credible alternative to Aaron (who I liked). Aaron stood out far too much which is what helped him win. It was the Aaron show this year. In the same way BB2 was the Brian Dowling show and BB7 was the Pete Bennet Show. The other HMs just extras to the inevitable stars of series. If you wanted a different kind of winner or someone with an IQ above 60 Aaron was your guy. Even if he was hard to love, there was no way you'd want dull radar dodger Alex or neaderthal Jay to win If they had stuck 2 fairly smart, OK looking, funny guys I am not sure Aaron would have won.
The big problem I have with recent series is that it's less focussed on what happens on a day and more about creating storylines for a soap. So show-mances get promoted at the expense of other (eg last year JJJ were under the duvet whilst Corin had a row with Mario. Guess what made it onto the HL show). If BB12 had been more like BB1-5 (minus BB4) then the focus would have been less on Aaron and Faye and more about how they interact in certain situations eg Aaron, Anton, Aden and Harry challenged Heaven on her beliefs but because this wasn't an ongoing soap plot it didn't make HL show)
