I'd be much happier if it went to C4 but that's not to say I don't enjoy watching it on C5. In fact I love it but I just wish they would do some of the things channel 4 used to do.

Actually, the series aren't that different when you strip them all back. Channel 4's houses were different designs, but their layout never really changed if you look at the later series. They were just good at adding extra walls to make it seem new and keeping rooms in the same place, just decorated different. A good example of this is the Diary Room. It didn't move at all from Big Brother 9.
Channel 5's choices of Housemates are younger yes - but Channel 4 never really had that many older Housemates in their later series either. We need to remember that Channel 5 followed what Channel 4 started in Big Brother 10/11, but have now made it their own. Really, Channel 5's most recent series are actually better than the late Channel 4 series.
