I have been watching Big Brother since BB3 and I think this series had the best launch and finale ever
The launch had a great variety of housemates and a brilliant twist which set the series up nicely.
and the finale was unprdictable and felt less rushed and more entertaining than in recent series

For me this series has had the best launch and finale, anyone else think this too?

I don't know, I think this year's launch tied with BB6's launch...but this year's finale was by far the best. Unpredictable and very close between the 5 of them!

Great launch and a fantastic finale.

The final was really unpredictable. I did not know who was going to win. I am So glad Rachel did though. The first secret task got me hitched from the start

I loved the launch and loved the finale even more, I love it when the winner is unpredictable

The launch was good, but vote counts were taken way too soon

The only thing I didn't like about the BB9 finale was that when voting lines opened during the first live show, the lines weren't open for long enough
but apart from that it was a great finale

I preferred the launch of BB:CH more, but this was also really good, and the final was great as well.

Is this forum just all Rachel supporters? A few days ago it was flooded with anti-Rachel supporters. Now everyone has changed their mind.

And no, this Big Brother was the worst. BB8 was quite bad, but the winner was good. BB9 was a bit more entertaining, but it had the worst winner. I would have prefered Alex to win rather than Rachel, seriously.

BB5 launch was the best, it was the first one with the current format we've got, ie massive crowd, each housemate entering on their own with their VT etc. It was also the first year we had a freak show and you could tell they purposely wanted conflict. It was exciting, we'd never had anything like that before

Best final was probably BB3, noone had no idea who would win and it just felt like an event.
