[ransom]

Perhaps the individual characters have been better than previous years but this season hasn't been fit to lick the boots of some past seasons in my opinion. That's mainly down to the producers and suits who sit behind the scenes deciding what happens though.

In my mind this series has been one big disaster rolling from week to week and it started off with nominations talk being allowed. When the suits realised that actually housemates would discuss and plan nominations a lot they banned it. However they banned it after it was clear the "insiders" were arranging votes but before the rest of the house could do the same.

Excellent decision.

Went from bad to worse from then on. This includes the wild card housemate, not dealing with Conors threatening behaviour, weak punishments for serious rulebreaks, mostly poor tasks, face to face noms (again!) and now the White room fiasco splitting the winners prize pot yet again.
