Quote : And was last series so bad?
In my oppinion the answer to that is "No". At the time I was not that impressed with it, the bars annoyed me like many others. However just before BB4 started I watched the recording of BB3 all 38 hours and I was just plain facinated at watching there near human beahavour

I enjoyed the repeat more than the live show itself. No one was more surprised than myself as i was tempted to dump the recordings. So I am glad I didn't.
As scathing about this series as I am I am never the less recording it and will I hope at a later date start to watch it again to see if I still react the same as I am at the moment which is quite negative.
I agree it is a pity they had the immediate nomination at the start. The gimmick backfired and has changed the nature of the show and set it on a path of self destruct.....Along with a new disease called Jon obsessional mis-spelt syndrome
