Which is better of these two for you? I don't like either and want to see which is more popular

[Matthew.]

BB8 was better than BB9 imo

[reece(:]

BB8 is a top 5 series

[Epic.]

BB9's problem is that it can be very entertaining in places, sometimes more than BB8, bu then it goes through a series of dull periods and there's no consistency to its quality at all. BB8 is also hugely flawed in that I either really enjoyed or really disliked a majority of the housemates, but it still felt a lot more uplifting and had more iconic moments to it. However, it just edges ahead for me because only the last 5 weeks being quite weak, whereas BB9 went between being strong and weak the whole way through

[Ramsay]

Never watched 8 the whole way through

[Daniel.]

I would go 8, though 9's probably better cast for more interesting dynamics, I don't care about it.

10 is obviously better than both

[Tony Montana]

Love both but BB9.

BB9 was tragic, BB9 is what made so many people switch off forever.

[Liam-]

I’ve watched the 8 and 9 drama compilations today and I have to say, 8’s is superior

Charley has grown on me massively

[Liam-]

Chanelle is tragic though, but she serves her purpose

BB10 stood no chance following bb9. Poor bb10 had so much potential.

There were several things that contributed to BB10's low ratings.

BB9 wasn't it.

Eh, kinda was tbh. BB9 was hardly a ratings smash, BB10 just continued in the downhill spiral

[Redway]

Thought BB8 was unanimously hated.

9 averaged 3.6 million viewers. Whilst that may not be a ''ratings smash'', it's still decent in my eyes. 10 averaged 2.5 million viewers. That's quite a big drop in a year.

A combination of Jade Goody's death, the 24/7 live feed being axed and people just being tired of BB by 2009 is why BB10 suffered in the ratings department.

the power that it has, the intelligence that it has, the clearance that it has, the access that it has, the influence that it has, the profile that it has, the international implications that it has

Easily BB9.

BB8's first few weeks are better than 9's but it's only good up to about week 5/6. After that, it gets boring FAST. And from week 10 it's almost unwatchable. I'm watching it rn and I'm halfway through week 10 atm which has took me about 2 weeks

8 had loads of potential to be great but too many big characters left and the new housemates weren't that good. Plus, the likes of Brian, Liam, Amanda & Sam, and Ziggy all sailing through the process is kind of boring.

So yeah, 9 is much better overall.
