Well said, Stu 
Now that I've had a chance to catch up on the weeks that I missed of BB4 while I was on holiday, I have to completely agree with you. It was a great BB . . . . . . possibly not as good as BB2, but in my opinion definitely the second best BB so far.
We had potential budding romance, tears, tantrums, arguments and bitching a-plenty. Like you, I'm NOT a Mr Tickle fan, but he did play his part well and it wouldn't have been the same without him.
After last year's fiasco (in my opinion!!), this year's BB was definitely a vast improvement . . . . and I echo your sentiments in saying
Roll on BB5!!!
