I've only seen a few eps from the first couple of weeks (in 07 when it was on) but I always hear people saying this is a terrible BB etc. but I'm wondering if it's possibly been exaggerated how bad it is, especially coming after 5/6/7 which were arguably the peak of BB. I think I might download it sometime and watch it as I have done recently with 5/6/9, and I'm pretty much just asking if it was really THAT bad??

Edit: I didn't realise that there's a very similar thread which kinda makes this one redundant, so nevermind

[Mystic Mock]

yes its that bad imo.

[iRyan]

Yes it is.

I heard everyone say it was ****, but I decided to watch it anyway. I LOVE it and it's way better than BB11. It has alot of drama.

Watch until Charleys eviction then give up.

[reece(:]

Watch until Day 62, with Charley and Chanelle gone, it become a bit boring and dull. Except the stripper girl but she leaves a few days later.

[Patrick]

rofl No.

Finally got around to checking this out

The launch actually really is THAT bad... I could barely watch the whole thing. BB launches are almost always bad but this was particularly terrible. I'm up to the first daily show now (think I saw the 3rd or 4th ep when it was first on) and I can't imagine watching more than one or two weeks of this... but I'm sure it won't be as bad as the launch.

Keep watching, it honestly gets better and better. You'll see fantastic characters develop like Charley, Shabnam, Chanelle, Ziggy,etc. Everytime I watched an episode it kept me wanting more and more.

By Day 3 things start to get really good.

I originally wasn't going to watch this series since alot of people didn't like it but I am, SO glad that I did as it's become one of my favorites now. Although I will admit it's definitely not as good now that Chanelle and Charley are gone but at least there are still housemates I like left.

Shanessa is a lunatic.
"I promised all my boyfriends back home i'd be faithful"
"I'm Shanessa and I swallow!"
"Oh, I've always wanted to be Jewish"

I think all the housemates are great. The only ones that are really forgettable are Jonathan, Laura, David, Seany, and Kara-Louise.

I actually really like BB8, enjoyed it better than 9 actually. But I would say about 80% of BB fans dislike the series.

[Patrick]

No, just no.

[Patrick]

How you can like BB8 better than the almighty BB9 is just abnormal.

[Jordan.]

Throwing this out there

BB8 > BB11

[Patrick]

The first few weeks of BB11 up until Shabby left, piss all over BB8.

[reece(:]

bb8 gets too much undeserved hate, it's up there as one of the most confrontational series with some arguments over crazy things such as carole's piccadilly

[Callum]

BB8 is underrated but it got **** when Charley got evicted for the second time. Samanda annoyed me too.

[Callum]

Shabby and Caiohme were the highlights of BB11 for me, not the ****ty showmance of Josie and John James. Sam Pepper was another awesome character. BB11 also had the worst housemate ever though in the form of Steve Gill.

I can't even remember any stand out moments apart from the crisp-gate arguement (which was **** in terms of BB)

Bitch please! Not a single aspect of BB11 "pisses" over BB8.

BB9 is hardly even much better than BB8.

BB8 = most underrated series ever, by far

[Tom]

BB8 wasn't as bad as people made out. The problems was mainly the dodgy twists, the housemates and stories were pretty good

got some comedy gold from that series. i can still hear Lesley saying "keep calm and have a strawberry" then go on to moan how fishy they smell

also Brian p*ssing himself in the caravan, Chanelles breakdown when she got asked to play the violin, "its not you, its me", Shanessa's lapdance and just Shanessa in general "I'd love to be Jewish, they wear lovely clothes", Seany pulling Lesley's cover off her bed, Seany pushing Charley into the pool fully clothed etc etc etc etc

[CharlieO]

Yea its worth it.

[Stu]

It looks a whole lot better now.

[Shaun]

it was alright. poor twists, too many dull HMs but otherwise some good moments

[MeMyselfAndI]

Its better than BB11
