Default It hasn\'t been that bad,has it?

I wasn't getting my hopes up for BB8, unlike some, and I suppose I didn't have as many expectations as other and maybe that's why I feel this way but I really don't think BB8 has been as bad as some people are saying.

Yes, It hasn't been the best but definitely not the worst. BB8 has given us everything we could hope for in BB. Arguments, bitching, back-stabbing, relationships, break-ups, twist after twist and some new original and interesting tasks. Every week it gave us something new and different to discuss and I feel it gave us more to debate from other series.

The housemates have not been dreadful, and the all female start may not have gone down as well as hoped but It was a risk and I'm glad they did it. It was interesting and it was a first for any BB world wide.

There is only 3 negative things I have to say about this series of BB and they are 1) There has been too many housemates 2) It went on 2 weeks too long and 3) the blatant fixing for Sam & Amanda, but besides them three I think it's been a good series and I will miss it a bit when It's gone.

Of course it was brilliant. The tasks were the best ever, I loved all of them, the housemates were entertaining etc...
I will miss it, I would say BB was "Special Square"

Was it that bad? No. Its not going to share legacy with Big Brother 4. It gave us just enough interesting characters and im quiet enjoying this final week.

I have done some moaning about BB8 mainly about what I believe to be sloppy management of the twists this year. As time goes on I don't really have much of a gripe with the choice of housemates apart from two who I believe the show would have been better off without being there at all. (Those being Carole and Tracey)

I must confess I am going to miss it in spite of some groaning about this or that.

The housemates that have made it watchable for me are without doubt the twins, Channele & Ziggy and not forgetting who could...Charley.....

A fair amount of personality volatility has kept it alive sufficientyly to graded in my view not the worst but by no means the best either.....

1) There has been too many housemates 2) It went on 2 weeks too long

I agree with that aaron i would have enjoyed it if it ended 2 weeks ago when Gerry lefta nd if they had stopped the housemates going in when the halfway housemates went in. Apart from that I have really enjoyed this series probably more so than BB7 or 5

I don't blame it on the housemates, I blame it on BB themselves. There weren't any really mad tasks. I wanted another prison or a divide something mental. The new people were too much for my head to cope with after so long and they were wanted out as soon as they went in. The only one I liked was Jonty because he's a natural nutter and doesn't give a feck.

The beginning was exciting, but as the thing went on I found it was getting less and less interesting. The "Charley show" dominated the first half which to me got boring and predictable. Not to mention there was serious bullying going on that BB chose to ignore.

Aussie fake; very good although the fake eviction was too obvious. There was no way Charlie thought it was real with all the whispering and "I'll tell you later" rubbish.

No bleedin' bandwagons for me either. I hardly come on this site unless I have something to say and wouldn't side with any of you or anyone else if my life depended on it.

I have an opinion, and if a majority share it good for them. Just realise some of us did think it was cack and we're no follow the leaders. I actually like Carole FFS, how bandwagon is that?
