BB2 is very much more adult in the sense its more political and you have to have the concentration span bigger than a nat to really get into it and not just watch it for BIG "ROCK THE HOUSE " TWISTS.

BB4 was terrible, its not called Big Brother Bore for nothing.

BB4 was at the height of my BB fascination and what I witnessed was dreadful lol.
It wasn't a gradual buildup though like you pretend it was. It went from being a recurring plotline at best to suddenly becoming A Thing in the penultimate week with no real in-between. And there's nothing sophisticated about Helen having a boyfriend outside the house.

You can act as pretentious as you want saying that BB2 was ~more adult~ and whatnot but it was boring. It really wasn't even a political series but you can keep using that word to make it sound sophisticated if you want.

BB4 actually had overarching stories that kept the plot advancing and things actually happened. After Week 3 or 4 of BB2, there's nothing tangible to hold onto. It's just low-level interactions that are somewhat interesting in isolation but painfully blend together when looking at the season as a whole. There's nothing interesting or political about it.

It wasn't a gradual buildup though like you pretend it was.: Yes it was and it got to the point where BB intervened for the first time and gave them a date in "the den" because the whole of the British public were waiting for them to kiss.
