Default Taking EVERYTHING Into Account, How Does This Series Compare?

Ok, Big Brother has had steady ratings but not very high compared to a few of the other series'. The tasks have been inventive aswell but have there been any other AWESOME ones from the past?

There's the old fact that people remember things that are really good/really bad.

So what do you think???

It's been average.. I think too many of the big characters were evicted too early, and the heaven/hell thing put me off alot.
Better than last years, though!

Its my third favourite series behind BB5 and BB6.
Its been a great series, had everything a series should have, the producers have listened and delivered and for me its the best series since BB6.
but I think its too long, if it had of been 10 or 11 weeks then it would be even closer to BB5 and BB6

A big improvement on last year, but nowhere near as good as BB7. Fourth best series after BB5-BB7 for me.

The Cast - Brilliant, most diverse and the best we've had in three years!

The twists - executed perfectly and not to big either!

The House - edgiest and the most unique in two years

However the stupid decisions made by the public spoiled it for me!

I did like BB3, it's almost joint with BB8 at 4th best, but series 8 had everything, entertaining characters , some of the best tasks and twists ever and it was nice to watch a 'lighter' version of the show after a good few years of 'Evil & Twisted & Unlucky')

And it also had an amazing house and neat graphics package..

It's been really good but not the best series, it does rate high though, and it's a mass improvement from the **** series that was bb8!

But Most of the housemates were bland and tedious, the twists were either too big or just weren't pulled of very well and the eye was avaerage in comparison! Good graphics tho!

I see where your coming from about the housemates, but I feel Charley, Seany, Brain, Gerry & Nickey easily made up for the boring layabouts.

I thought the twists were about 60/40. The Fake week twist wasn't just a BB8 highlight (imo) but a BBUK highlight. The Guru twist was great too, but I have to admit, the Halfway house was the worst and most complicated one ever. I also liked most of the tasks.

And well, I didn't say I liked the eye lol

In regards to fake week - half of them guessed, it wasn't particularly entertaining. The tasks were the worst of all series, I mean the tuna tin task? The etitcute task? I genuinly can't remember the rest!

It has been ok,I'm not just saying this because I like them but I really do think it got worse after Bex and Luke went. The tasks have been good and I liked Heaven and Hell but some of the housemates never should have been in there in the first place.

Really? I think it's taken a significant leap since they left. Maybe I only think that.
