Default Has the show improved since the newbies came in?

What do you think? People were very against the twist at first, including myself. But the new housemates have completely thrown the originals off kilter. They were finding it all too easy in there, despite it being enjoyable. I can't help but wonder if it had carried on the way it was, it would have started to get a little boring..?

I don't like it.

The last two episodes haven't been enjoyable for me.
The new housemates are awful and the weekend highlights have all been about the odious Marc.

I can see my self turning off by Friday.

Best of BB16 = 12th May - 25th May

I'm annoyed people are liking it, TBH.

I remember people saying two weeks ago.
"Oh, I'm enjoying this series, I love how it's natural, and the housemates are great, it has a very C4 vibe to it"

Now that's all gone, and it's a clone to BB15, and people are saying they still enjoy it.

Not me i'm afraid. I'm all for natural social interaction, but what we were seeing before the cull wasn't natural either, They were all playing the we are nice card so as not to come over badly. Marc is a nightmare character, but I appreciate the sides he has brought out of the other house mates. To me thats what its all about. It doesn't need to be conflict and argument, but the housemates need to have depth

I don't like the new house dynamics.

It feels very Old Housemates vs. New housemates.
It's changed too much, and I just don't like it. I'm hoping it improves, but I can't see it happening.

Not to mention, I don't like the new housemates. I personally think the original four were not worth being evicted just to make room for a Fake Irish with a bad teeth, a Zoe Birkett clone, Booby, and a poor mans Perez Hilton.

I'm really annoyed that they've made what was shaping up to be a great series into an a crapfest, within the space of about four days.

I can see why the ratings are low now, and I hope they drop even more, just to show the producers that they've made a massive mistake.
After all Friday's "rating grabber" of a twist only pulled in a mere 1.3m, which less than a Saturday night episode of BB15.

there will be 2 or 3 days till it settles, I can see from vids today its already calming down. Marc is just a character that takes a bit longer to work out how to deal with

I completely agree with you and some of the other comments you've made in this thread. I can't believe we lost 6 good housemates in two days: Aaron, Amy, Sally, Sarah, Harriet, and Kieran. I seriously can't believe it. Those 4 replacements aren't going to make up for those other big personalities that left. This show is crap now and I don't think it will improve. Its so frustrating especially when you consider that the series was originally shaping up very nicely. But the first two weeks feel so meaningless now. Too many good housemates gone too early.

I've always liked the series, it's been rather enjoyable for me from the start, i wouldn't say the new housemates have necessarily improved anything, but it certainly hasn't made it worse, I'm looking forward to how it will all unfold and if it will get any better.

It's nothing at all like BB15 though, the people are nicer and the atmosphere is a lot nicer to watch.

I for one never said i enjoyed it for it's 'C4 vibe' because it's never seemed like a C4 series, i personally think that saying is a bit stupid, how does a tv show feel like something on a different channel?

I'm liking this series more and more as it goes on because I can actually get behind more than one person with my support, so that to me already makes it better than BB15.

I'm sorry.
I hate to come across like one of those people who moan at everything.

I've defended C5 BB many times, but I just can't anymore.

I'm only watching to see if it gets good, plus I'm perfectionist and MUST fully watch every series that I start.
But, that may change, depending on Friday.

Vast improvement on Harriet and twins, sad to see Kieran go but he was disposable, but Sarah could have been great in this new environment but disappointed.

It's changed. But it's weird.

As if these new housemates are late to the show. Like they've came in at week 7 or something.

In reality they only came in 2 and a half weeks from launch night.

I don't like your poll choices.

I don't think the show has improved, but I don't think it has ruined a good series. A simple "Yes" and "No" poll would've been fine.

Its been terrible so far. I struggled through watching Saturday and Sunday's episodes. There are too many boring personalities in the house. And Marc stirring up drama has been too forced and fake. There really is no reason for me to watch this show anymore.

It's a much better show and some people genuinely don't like the twist and stuff but I think most who are complaining are simply doing it because they're favourites have gone.

Sorry but anyone who says Kieran was a good housemate needs to seriously look at some previous BB legends or just good housemates and compare him to them. He was trash!

I didn't care for Kieran that much but he was way more interesting than Christian, Danny, Chloe, and Jack. And I liked when he was giving his opinion and advice to people every now and then. He should have stayed on Friday rather than Chloe and Danny.

Yes, it has improved greatly (personally I found it extremely boring before) I liked the housemates who left Friday but now the newbies are good I don't mind

Best since BB13 now, whereas this time last week I was saying it was worse than BB15.

I liked Kieran and Sarah but they weren't really doing much at all
the twins even less, (Harriet was a firecracker tho)
I think its a new era of bb and they need more action/drama in the house, if you come in and decide to lay around and kibbitz, bb will figure a way to get you out....

all in all I think it has improved
