I know exactly what you're saying and i do end up missing the odd episode just because it is getting tedious! BB UK is just a poor imitation of the show it once was sadly!!!
You can pretty much watch everything that's worth watching just by checking out the daily clips uploaded on the official C5 BB site and the full Friday night eviction episodes. Sometimes there's more interesting footage in those video clips that doesn't even make the highlights shows!
I don't think daily episodes are a problem in years that are interesting enough with enough great housemates to fill the episodes. I really looked forward to every single day's episodes in BB10 (because of Marcus 'The Dark Horse', Freddie/Halfwit, Siavash and nutjobs like Angel and Sree!!!) and BB9 (because of Rex, Mohamed, Darnell and the beautiful Sara Folino) in particular and there were a few other years that BB was really addictive and compulsive viewing when it was on Channel 4.
While it's had it's moments i've never found it anywhere near as good since C5 took over the show. It's just not even in the same league to be perfectly honest. The quality of housemates just hasn't compared and neither has the general production of the show (particularly as far as letting the housemates get away with murder and influencing the direction of events/ outside influence etc.).
