Default Slowest start in years

I don't know why, but I am left disappointed. I know its only a couple of days, but everything is so lack lustre. Bots is crap and Rylan is more annoying than usual, the storylines in the show seem under reported and pretty dull, the HM's all seem to be playing games and non of them really stand out as being anything but mildly irritating or just plain game players.

All the hype of the opening has been watered down to a dull miserable unexciting mess.

You've seen ONE highlights show and that was mostly a repeat of what happened the night before

Can you wait until it gets of the starting block before condemning it

I was disappointed with the cast but I'm still content overall... that might be because I refuse to watch Rylan though, I can definitely understand how the show would appear worse for those who watch Rylan.

I have a feeling that this series is going to be a classic, not necessarily because of one outstanding individual, but because there is just so much potential for interesting interactions between the housemates, which for me, is what its all about. I'm quite positive at the moment.

I agree. Quite a few tensions on launch night.

Everywhere I've looked suggests that those who watched last night really enjoyed it.

I'm already starting to feel it.

For instance, it's obvious Danny fancies Sarah, but he's taken it upon himself to maker her his 'enemy', probably because she won't be taken in by his bullsh** chat up patter.

Kieran stands out for me at the moment - hilarious and I think Jade is a slow burner. My 2 top tips for this series

It's far to early to make a judgement, how quickly did fan favourites Wolfie and Pauline change, as well as Cardboard Conor who is still one of the main talking points of that series, and Ashleigh last year who didn't do anything until about week 5, not to mention Sam who did nothing until the last week

I think everyone hated Pauline on the 2nd night

Wolfie was about a week

Conor i still dont know how he said so long

Sam sailed through for being boring then picked up the anti Gina/Dwxter votes to win

Ashliegh is one that baffles me she was loved for doing something that never happened

I am so sorry my use of the English language seemed to leave some of you wanting, but I did mention it had only started but the emphasis was on START, not early stages. I was commenting on what had currently ensued but why let semantics get in the way of a good rant eh.

The start is the beginning, after a week it becomes the early stages, my post was about the start. Still its nice to see nothing has changed, people far more willing to dis a post than engage it for what its worth.

The start is always boring though Sam, especially the first H/Ls as it is usually a rehash of what we saw on launch night, I didn't think it was too bad for a first highlights.
