This has been the worst year I can remember for BB.

I miss the days when there were normal people in there, not Z list celebrities, models, groupies, reality TV 'stars'. I don't relate to any of them and it's become like watching Towie or something.

Last year had normal people with a smattering of celebrity harpeys.

I don't think I'll be watching next year. It's just become like a freak show - getting the most socially detached people they can find and making car crash TV.

That is all.

Last year was far from "normal"

I know. But far more so than this year's bunch of complete sociopaths.

I'm fast getting bored with this twist tbh,it's just dragging on.

[Oaker]

This has been the best series since 2012 tho

Can't deny that this year has had the most 'z listers' that I've ever seen, but I think it's been anything but boring, especially compared to last year. And even though there's been a lot of z listers, I still think the cast have been great overall, and some of them have still been relateable. People like Emma and Laura for example have both had media experience but have seemed really relateable, down to earth and normal to me.

It's just become like a freak show - getting the most socially detached people they can find and making car crash TV.

I think they've been doing this since series 5 tbh

It's good but overrated af

[Lostie!]

I've been thoroughly enjoying civilian BB for the first time in years. The only time my interest lagged was during that crappy task where they kept putting the boyfriends in.

This year is a massive improvement. Hasn't been this good since BB13

The last time we had normal people in the house was BB4 and even before that BB3 and 2 was filled with fame hungry people.

[TT350]

Hmmn. I'm a minority then it seems.

I just liked when it was just people trapped in a house, no twists, friends and enemies were made just on the basis of face value - not something instigated by big brothers twists.

Nothing of interest has happened for weeks except the evictions. I think BB16 being so bad is why this series is popular.

Not in my case, I'm liking it because I'm finding it to be a great series in it's own right. I suppose it depends on what you class as being "of interest".

[Daniel.]

Fun, drama, big characters, meltdowns. What made the likes of 3,5,6 and 7 so good. All I remember is showmance from the last few weeks, which is boring.

[Oaker]

it's basically been the same as BB14 imo. Great start, slows down around week 3/4, get's a tad boring as it goes on, storylines that aren't very interesting..

But there's been all of those things.

[Daniel.]

There's a few big characters but all the other stuff has centred around Hughie and Ryan, Alex and Evelyn, Georgina and Jackson, Jason and Charlie. I don't dislike this series, but it's been massively overrated. I loved it at first, but it's been dull since around the end of week 2 bar a few episodes, imo.

This could be a factor if I'm honest, or at least in the beginning anyway. I had such low expectations going into this series. But I think that there have been a lot of low-key moments (rather than big storylines) that have been great, and that have made the highlights feel much more like the ch4 days compared to recent series (which is why I've been against big things like annihilation and the ex-boyfriends etc). Although I'd struggle to name individual moments that have been great off the top of my head, I've still enjoyed every highlights show, and I don't think I'd be enjoying them still if it was just because of BB16 being bad.

[Jason.]

This series stopped being interesting when Natalie was evicted imo. Jayne is the only one keeping me interested atm.

The week after Natalie went, we got a whole week dedicated to the dire Jackson/Georgina showmance and the whole Evelyn/Jackson/Georgina thing and contrived Hughie and Ryan thing. Not to mention the Charlie and Jason thing which was also tiresome.

When Natalie was in there, you had the brilliant feud between her and Jayne and Hughie - and say what you want about her but she was a great for the dynamics even if she was an awful person.

[Jordan.]

Still loving it there hasn't been a bad episode imo.

[Jase.]

The first few weeks have been great but the past week or so? Brutal.

[TomC]

I think this series has been far from boring. I've loved it (apart from boyfs going in and annihilation)

[Oaker]

It definetly went downhill after Natalie's eviction but it's never reached the lows of BB15 or BB16.

[Daniel.]

I agree with that but I would say the first three weeks of BB15 were nearly as good as the first weeks of this one.

[Jason.]

It's miles better than BB15/16. But BB13 still ****s over BB17 imo.

And I slightly prefer BB14 to this series.
