Is it seriously halfway through.

I think it's been good, but we really need drunken truth or dare or a drunken fight, basically they need alcohol, they're never ever drunk!

I wouldn't go so far as to advocate a complete format change. The basic premise of the show is fine as it is and there was no need for the introduction of X-Factor style frenetic, montage-driven super-editing. Even within the rudiments of Ofcom's draconian rules, a better selection housemates and some halfway-decent tasks would have gone a long way.

haha that would be amazing! I think we need to do tasks like BB USA do, and Interact more with other BB's around the world (like the german footie task this year). Swap housemates etc...

I just think they need a big shake up to get people interested in it again. I mean us forum members are loyal to it but in general the ratings have plummeted and they need something different to entice people back to watching it. I remember last year reading peoples idea for twists and tasks, and some of them were so good, maybe they should read the forums more and steal some ideas!

Arse, no one said all the time.

We are talking about the larger picture, not individual HMs, but as you mention it... Ben hasnt been interesting in the last 2 weeks- he has 100% done a Mario (seemed funny and interesting when given solo tasks and the camera time, but become wallpaper when left to his own devices). I could also go on about how Josie has consistently delivered.

But, lets not turn this into a HM vs HM thread...

I think it's pretty undeniable that the lack of booze has impacted on the drama/ fun.

Speaking of booze nights, anyone know where you can watch the the fight night episode from BB5 online?

is there that much complaints when they're drinking though? most of the crap that people give out over happens when they're sober

Ive only seen one very old series. BB4 USA. It was very good, tactics, as you can imagine the games were better as the makers of BB USA must be minted! lol.

It seems like the UK version cannot afford the housemates to have booze.

The games are very well thought up, and arent cheap. It's like a proper gameshow.

[Chels]

It's fcking turd, I haven't watched it properly for about a week.

We lost too many characters early on and the producers picked a massivley dislikeable bunch of people to go in there, none of them are particularly entertaining either. It seems like there's not much effort or thought going into tasks or activities either, just a pure crap series. Bring on All Stars!

Vesavius Ben hasn't been shown simply cause the producers seem to have this thing that JJ fancies josie and vice versa when it clearly isn't going anywhere.

Booze is just a excuse they lack personality. If we're complaining about them not been interesting without booze then it clearly shows the show sucks

lol no, Ben hasnt been shown because he has done nothing worth being shown. I watch LF and he is on auto pilot, punctuated by 5 hour spiteful slagging sessions.

If you honestly think that about booze in the house, you are either being naive or just contrary for the sake of it. Of course booze creates a load of wtf moments, it has in every season and made every season more funny. C'mon... your not a newb... think back...
