Everyone in here has pretty much hit the nail on the head, it's vastly overrated. BB10 was much better, possibly BB8 as well.

I mean it was still a very good series, but it was by no means the best series ever.

The first few weeks were great, but the housemates became VERY irritating by the end, thank god Sara and Lisa were there otherwise I wouldn't have been able to watch. I do appreciate BB9 for giving me one of my most loved housemates ever, Sara Folino <3

The group of Mikey/Rachel/Mo/Darnell/Kathreya was horrendous. They totally played up to the "outcasts" role and it was annoying as ****. I actually liked some of them at the beginning but then they became incredibly tedious. Darnell was absolutely awful by the end, constantly playing the victim. Even Rex annoyed me at the end acting all hunky dory with the outcast group. I guess that's what "ruined" the series for me in a sense, because that group took over the show.

The cast just screamed desperation, it was too much of a freakshow. Rebecca, Luke, Sara, Lisa, and Rex saved the show. And great housemates like Sylvia, Steph, Jen, and Alexandra were out too soon.

Though fair dues the cast was better than BB7, but nobody in BB7 really annoyed me like the BB9 crew did (except for god awful Lea and Lisa).

But yeah, I would still say BB9 > BB11 & BB12
