[In the Drunk Tank]

It's probably a 4 for me

I feel like most of us on here have found this series quite dull but I see a lot of people elsewhere raving about it and calling it one of the best series in years.

I think it had do much potential but losing Michael, Mickey and even Trisha early really cost it. This is probably the first series where I couldn't give a toss who wins and haven't had anyone to support ever since Michael left. I also think the pacing has been off with it being so short and there's been very few good tasks or twists. It might have got good if it was allowed to run longer as there were tensions emerging earlier this week

I’ll give it a 5. It’s had some great moments, just not enough of them. Majority of the tasks have been poor too, which is a major factor in it being quite lacklustre.

For me it was a 5. As a lifer BB fan I don't think we'll ever see anything close to the glory days of early C4 BB. I think if ITV want to keep the franchise alive they have some more work to do.

I think this was the better ITV series so far and I have enjoyed parts of it, but it's still so plastic and bubble gum pop and very surface level.

7.

Purely because i've watched the Live Feed every night for 2 weeks, and it's been pretty entertaining, and strangely comforting.

[Holly Christmas]

I've given it a generous 8 because I've liked the majority of the cast.

I think ITV have done a good job with the civilian show but that both celeb series have missed the mark despite good casts on paper. A two and a half week series is just ridiculous

Yes…that’s my opinion too.

You need spicy tasks to start creating drama.

It could have been 8 or even 9 but for the tiresome pair.

I don't think ITV have done a terrible job with either, but it's still missing the mark entirely. In a world full of sensitive groups and fear of getting canceled, I'm not sure what else ITV can do. I would LOVE another rendition of BB5 or BB7. The cast this season was good but again, I think they're on their best behaviour for obvious reasons and ITV are keeping a close eye on them. It really doesn't work for a show such as Big Brother.

The short runs kill the vibe of the show too. Just when you start to get to know the characters and form an opinion we're voting en masse for a rushed final week.

[Parmy]

A steady 7.

First celeb BB I've watched in a few years. Looked forward to the HL show every night.


Would have got a nine if I cared enough about who wins.

[point17]

5 because the cast weren't awful just no real protagonists or interesting storylines

[Shaun]

I haven't watched since Trisha's eviction but I enjoyed what I caught. Just can't watch anything every day any more, it's too much for my poor attention span. Start was great, and most of the HMs have delivered talking points. Only bores for me were Chesney, Daley and Jack to an extent.

[BBDodge]

6/10.

I knocked a point off for the dull winner.

[The Grinch]

A solid 7

[JingleJones]

Oh i gave it a 3. Clearly the harsh one over here

[Candy Annie Cane]

6 for me....mainly as it's given me something to watch every night and a couple of laughs...mainly the family task thing.

[bots]

2 out of 10 for me, i thought it was very poor. The tasks were awful, the production team were awful and cast were mediocre at best.

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

5 and that's only because I had TIBB. By myself, I wouldn't find it watchable and certainly not worth the price of a VPN subscription.

It had it's moments, and a decent winner.

But the tasks were criminally awful (especially the Furry one was like something that modern Hollywood would endorse,) and there were quite a few Housemates that were evicted before the final that were quite dull Housemates, with all due respect to them.

[FaLaLaLand]

Solid 7.5 for me so I rounded up to 8.

Loved the cast, great mix. Shame about Mickey's antics but hey.

Must praise the overall production though - it feels like ITV are finally nailing it. This year felt much more "classic" to me with the tasks and presentation.

Negatives: series length. We really needed another week. Next year must be a month/4 weeks long AT LEAST. Tensions were starting to brew throughout with a housemate just right before they got evicted (eg Trisha/Chesney, Angellica/Donna).

[Katmieow]

7 out of 10 for me. The gruesome twosome dragged it down

[Gusto Brunt]

Only 5 out of 10 from me. Rather boring in places.

The fast forward button did work a lot for me.

Looking forward to the next BB.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

A solid 2

[millyrose]

8
the only thing that brought it down for me was Chris and Jo and would only given it a 6 but Jack winning took it up to 8
