Default Best series in years?

Anyone else agree this has been the best series in a while? (for me since BB10)

It's been consistent all the way through, most housemates have contributed along the way (who would have thought in week 1 that Callum would go from being really boring to being interestingly weird and a big talking point by around week 4/5). Gina and Dexter have been the best HMs in ages and could qualify as all star HMs IMO. One thing could spoil it - the biggest dullard of the series, Sam winning. I'm hoping for a Gina and Dexter final two

After finding BB11 and BB12 pretty crap I really enjoyed BB13 and consider it a great series but BB14 tops it for having less samey housemates and more interesting dynamics than last year.

It's been very average, BB13 & BB12 were both a fair bit better

havent enjoyed it at much as the previous C5 BB's.. usually i get more connected and attached to the series and housemates but i havent this year. Its been too dominated by all these secrets and lies it hasnt felt the same and its felt a lot more like a gameshow which it is, plus i havent warmed to the new house lay out and design at all.

for me Daniel DEFINATELY, its been riveting viewing and I've not wanted to miss a single show. Its certainly been one heck of a talked about show on this forum.

I think it's definitely the best one since the show moved to Channel 5.

It's been awful - when many of the so-called contestants have been fake. And then the one that appears to attract most interest with many is the one that lies and acts like a 10 year-old. Says it all really.

It's been the best C5 series, BB13 was the definition of forgettable while the only saving grace of BB12 was a rare deserving winner.

It's been a decent series, but the outside influences and the total BB manipulation of situations and HM's interactions have spoilt it quite a lot.

I agree with you Daniel ... a brilliant BB this year! Compelling viewing, lots of twists, interesting mix of housemates. And all the nastiness has been nipped in the bud pretty sharpish.

I watched them all up to Davina leaving. This is the first one that I have seen on Channel 5, because I didn't like the presenter before Emma Willis. But even with Emma Willis who is great, this is still the worst series that I have ever seen at the end. Nobody is natural. Charlie, and Dexter are Fake, Gina is fake, the Twins are a bit fake, and Sam is quiet.

The BB chair is crap too.

Next time I hope to see better housemates.

It started off well for me but all these twists and turns with noms and stuff has kinda spoilt it for me,Bored of it now.I mean how will C5 top it next year?I can see it getting more and more silly.I hope we see a 'back to basics' style BB next year.No outside contact,No pens and paper,No clock etc,Not as many twists,Just straight up noms.That's how it's supposed to be.I wanna see them survive on basics and paranoid and stuff like the old days.

12 was good, 13 was so bad I stopped watching pretty early, and this has been somewhere in between.

But seriously producers, lay off the continual twisty nonsense.

No it hasnt been a very good series everything from day 1 has being too false and forced.

Pretty much every argument has been induced and caused by a task pissing people off rather than any genuine tensions that have been allowed to fester and boil up over time.

There has been a real lack of genuine friendships building in the house leading to any scenes of the housemates relaxing and shown just having fun for once.

So no its been a pretty poor series in my opinion.
