Default Was BB8 really that bad?

Yes ok it went down to BB4s level after Chanelle and Charley had left but up untill then it was actually rather entertaining with its nightly fights, no?

It was quite a poor series, but I remember these boards being quite hilarious when BB8 was on.

It was ****.

Nothing to it, it had potentital but most HMs were ****, BB was far to PC because of that wanker Jade that went on a few months before BB8 so it was doomed once she started her whole Race Row in CBB5.

Its just great that things started improving after this terrible series.

I will rewatch it though one day but it was crap.

Yes it was horrendous. God, just thinking about HMs like Carole and Jonty makes me cringe.

i suppose its only downfall was the amount of housemate that brought nothing to the series

the only worthy housemates were, Chanelle, Charley, Billy, Shanesaa, Brian, Emily, Leslie and Shabnam

and even a few of them are a bit questionable

Im not trying to make anything out, You can just go read every other BB Fan site, On Youtube etc aswell no one likes it just look at the advert coments.

It got alot of negative feedback, it was boring nothing memoriable happened.

The launch was stupid too, the Girls werent even that fit.

If Jade hadnt went on CBB5 and done her bollocks, then BB would of just gave Emily a warning and that would be it.

But because of what happened in CBB5 it was far far to PC.

Chanelle wasn't missed simply cause she did ***** all

Charley's arguements ruined the house of some great moments

Emily's racist word ruined the house of a battle between her and Chanelle

too many of the guys got along which did ruin a great part of the show

the Twins sucked. Sorry if they were in amy other BB they would have gone earlier

again i disagree if it wasn't for Ziggy and Charley , chanellle would have got no attention.

Emily leslie and the nut job Shabs would have been great Hm's if they stayed

Over 5m people tuned in to the final, so to say EVERYONE hats it is obviously wrong. And you say that everyone on fansites and youtube all hated it, but my friends who are all casual viewers had no problem with it and thought it was better than BB9/10

No it was good. BB8 holds a personal item in my head. It was my first series where I watched BB consistantly and holds my fave HM ever Chanelle! Patrick please be quiet.

it was alright, the only problem was alot of the housemates has similar character and were young fun and easy going, so they got on ie Brian Ziggy Liam Samanda so highlight shows could be a struggle because BB wasnt doing alot through the series either. I dont remember any really good task's from that year either

It was good, probably not the best series but still was great. I never understood why people thought the All Female launch was bad. I thought it made a nice change and this twist was taken by some international versions.
The housemates were fine, they all hated each other except a few. They probably had a fight every night and the Fake Week is one of my fave week/twist ever. Charley was awesome for this twist.

So yeah, I've got nothing against it to be honest. Much better than BB7 at least.

I'm watching it for the first time and enjoying it. I think that after chanelle and charley left it went downhill; no one remotely interesting was left. It's such a pity chanelle left then; her arch nemesis charley was finally gone! Plus she never got an interview with davina which really bothers me.

I want to watch this after I finish BB10 and BB11 (since by the time i'm done with BB10, BB11 will be starting). Is it really that boring? From clips and stuff i've seen, it seems interesting. And I love how crazy the house design is.

BB8 wasn't boring, at all, it was just plain depressing. It was like a mix of BB7 - far too much of everything, too many housemates, too many ridiculous twists, too many spin offs - and BB6, where the housemates clearly all hated each other.

The only difference was that the housemates were so depressed and irritated by each other that it wasn't even fun to watch. Carole absolutely sucked the life out off the younger ones, Chanelle, Ziggy and the Twins in particular. The winner had been chosen by the producers by about week 4, and tbf, he would have won anyway due to the fact he had ZERO competition, all the the others were certainly not winner potential. I mean honestly, Ziggy, Jonty, Carole, Tracey, Charley, Billi, Shanessa, Amy, Shabnam, Jonathon, Nicky, Kara-Louise, ect. none of them stood a CHANCE at winning.

The house itself became really dull and dirty looking by the end and omg. The tasks. the tasks were HORRIFICALLY bad, like nothing I've ever seen before on BB, just so totally unentertaining, pointless, overtly elaborate, boring.

I honestly think Emily could have saved the series though.

I finished the entire thing and I must say I really enjoyed it. I loved the house design, loved the all female week, loved Ziggy and Liam and the twins. I happen to have loved the tasks, I think they were original and fun (the 7 deadly sins, time machine, BB quiz and so forth).
