This is a really good series and it could take over BB13 and 14 if it continues like this. Honestly sick of the constant moaning about the lack of "normal" people. Last time they tried to make a series with normal people we got BB4

Tbh this is looking set to be the worst Civilian BB yet as this is all that's been happening in the episodes so far.

1. Natalie has an issue with somebody
2. Andrew does some game talk in the Diary Room
3. Ryan's being loud hoping that it makes people find him funny
4. Laura and Marco play out their disgusting Showmance
5. Jackson's doing the Pete Bennett hippy route
6. The Housemates talk about how gorgeous Alex is
7. They'll put the camera on Hughie a lot despite not saying anything of importance

Not to mention that most of the "main" Housemates have hardly been shown yet.

I find that Ch5 cast all wrong imo.

The best BB's on Ch4 (as sick as it sounds) used to be really good at making the series look like these people were gonna be dull for the first few days, then by the end of the week tension would rise a bit, and then going into week 2 onwards Ch4 would encourage it to get more and more tense between Housemates by slowly breaking them down.

Ch5 BB is like watching a really Chavy episode of Eastenders.

Well if you're a Showmance lover then this season is for you, but it's certainly not for me unless they change direction on the highlights.

The best C4 series are considered 5, 6, and 7 and they were arguing with eachother within days (or on the first night in the case of 6)

BB5 was very slow at first imo with only Kitten really getting off the ground in a big way.

BB6 Admittedly was a rare breed, but I think it came off a lot better than this current BB because it felt less like watching a Soap Opera.

And BB7 was the first step to this hellish Ch5 times imo anyway so I'm with the fans that prefer BB3 to it.

9 and 5 are the best civilian series. Nothing since has even come close

I'm loving this series so far from a purely entertainment perspective. They'll probably screw it up in a week or two but for now it's brilliant.

Day Three and Fight Night already well sort of. Brilliant!

That's the problem with civilian BB... they are no longer civilians. So many of them have celebrity connections. I want proper civilians with no fame hungry past to enter the house.

I think the producers know if they cast 'regular people' they'd be left with some old biddies exchanging recipes and be cancelled. they need attractive show offs for ratings, otherwise we'd be left with no show
