I’m bored of Farida telling the housemates what the should be doing. She couldn’t even last longer than a week last time round, don’t think she’s in a position on how to play the game.

Agreed 100%

[Kate!]

Well said Andy

This series needed a shake up. It was very stale and rather dull. Love her or hate her, she’s done just that.

Exactly!

Plus I don't support her talking about the public's perception of the Housemates either, I don't get how ITV aren't more strict about it.

Because this series was in dire times as was really dull.

…we wouldn’t have had the highlight show that we were given today without Farida…and I loved it……she’s shaking them out of their coasting ways and also giving us a show that more resembles BB, to the one we’ve been seeing before her return…

[Ammi]

…love her or not so much, she’s delivering and isn’t that what we hope for with any housemate…

It's forced drama though.

I like Housemates to have natural charisma.

I get that.

But can't Farida wind the Housemates up, without bringing up public perception of the Housemates?

[Scarlett.]

Until tonight's episode the house was going down the same old split narrative, now she's changed everything, she's fantastic lol

[joeysteele]

Can't stand her.
One of the worst ever housemates there's been in a BB series.

She may yet have me not bother watching the rest of this series as long as she's in it

She gave us more in one ep than about 7 of them in there have over 3 weeks

I blame ITV but it also may just be that classic BB is very difficult in the age of self-censorship/political censorship.

Can't deny the heavy manipulation hinders a lot of the magic. However, so many of the ITV HMs have had a problem with being well choreographed imo (social media-savvy) and that makes them more predictable, aka dull, to watch.

Farida is a breath of fresh air that has pushed through this but only because she has the massive benefit of outside knowledge and studying the HMs for several weeks.

Oh, I get people will hate her because she’s a lot of things people hate in a housemate and already had her chance before.

But at least she’s bringing in what she said she would and stirring them all up, which this season vitally needed. The next few weeks were going to get even staler than they already were.

Now we’ve got housemates springing into action because of Farida. Look at Marcus, Teja and Elsa for example last night. It’s some of the most animated we’ve seen them all.

What we are watching is the equivalent of the plane crash on emerdale or Richard on coronation street. It's producer manipulation for the sake of it/viewing figures. The problem in this case is that Farida is a completely false, unpleasant person that the viewing public already decided they didn't like and dumped her after a week

100%, I agree with all this post.

It seems sadly false people are preferred to genuine ones now.
In order to be entertained.
I can't bear false people.
