Not in the slightest, I've been a fan of housemates who provided drama and contributed to the series for as long as I can remember; John James, Rex, Charley, Makosi, the list goes on. I'm more than aware of the manufactured divides and one vs one storylines C5 seem desperate to create and have made that clear on several occasions, but that doesn't mean that the housemates involved aren't entertaining or good housemates. People may on here may have not enjoyed the Perez/Hopkins storyline but CBB15 did extremely well ratings wise so... And BB15 was a good series and really underrated. For a start it has the most deserving final two in the history of BBUK (and the first all female one which was completely fitting) so that automatically gives it points, it had messy and hilarious storylines like Steven and Kimberly and other divides like Helen and Ashleigh which split the fanbase, as well as big characters in other ways like Mark, or Toya. It was shambolically produced but not half as much as BB16. As for taking offence to being nominated being entertaining...well obviously, why wouldn't it be? What could be more boring than them all sitting around and going 'oh yeah guys don't worry about it it's fine! '. Of course they're self entitled twats that need to get over it when they do get nominated, no one's denying that, but I'd still rather housemates get annoyed at being nominated than take it on the chin...of what benefit is that to the show? It was PEJ's last **** you to the fans and a way to engineer a Josie win, and it still pisses me off to this day. It wasn't so much the quad eviction that was the problem, it was the fact they didn't make it a vote to save (or hell, even a vote to win, we were a week off the final) because that would have rid us of the deadwood that didn't deserve to be there and given us the most unpredictable and deserving bunch of finalists consisting of Josie, John James, Sam and Corin...and Steve, but who cares about him? |

Examples??
Until they showed her the money this week you were lucky to see her say more than 2 things per show unless Marc was antagonizing her. As to the OP Yes it is one of the worst, im convinced the whole time warp HMs and hotel BB was cause they knew they had a terrible house and badly attempted to inject some controversy in there. If Helen, Ash, Nikki et al hadnt gone in the last 3 weeks would have literally been so boring, like BB4 boring.

to be fair, I really don't think the editors could give a **** what gets discussed on forums like this and DS. Like, they really do not give a ****, and that's if they even know we exist. So many people acknowledged that last year was a complete disaster all around but optimistically wrote it off as a one-time fluke, but then this year we found out that this is what the producers want it's incredibly disheartening. The producers care a hell of a lot more about their own agenda and promoting their own set of values onto us (make no mistake about it, this show definitely espouses a set of core values) than what people on forums are saying. The ratings for BB16 have been a mess and they've just been trying random **** to fix it without any rhyme or reason and thus we were left with the Human Centipede equivalent of BBUK.
As for BB15, even if you're a fan of the final two (I think Helen sucks so that doesn't even help my opinion of the series) the journey to get there is soooo unenjoyable and not worth it. Production was horrible as stated, the cast was the most unlikable ever and consisted of a core group of vapid people who openly disliked anyone who didn't resemble the physical embodiment of high school cool, and the series always felt like it was going to collapse under the pressure of its own terribleness. That was finally reached after Armageddon because those last four weeks with Pav and Zoe and Biannca are some of the worst ever in BBUK history. It's also worth mentioning that Steven/Kimberly are absolutely the most emotionally abusive showmance in the show's history, and that sure is a ****ing feat considering this show produced gems (alol I accidentally typed Jem <3) like Aaron/Faye and Ziggy/Chanelle. Poor Kim, indeed.

I personally enjoyed BB15 though, nearly all of them were unlikeable but like I've said before, I'm not looking for a new best friend on Big Brother, I don't live with them and so I certainly don't need to, or to be honest want to, relate to people on a TV show I watch for 48 minutes a night. As long as they're providing me with a reason to come on here and talk about the show, or do so in real life, and giving me a bit of escapism when I watch the show that's all I really care about. And last year the cast certainly did that. I won't deny it was an exhausting series and it's one I would never watch again, but in the months after it finished I realised it really wasn't that bad and I put a lot of weight on the eviction/finalist orders to help determine what I think overall of a series, and they were near perfect last year.

As long as they provide some form of talking point they serve their purpose on the show, unlike the bores who float along doing sod all and giving us nothing.

There was next to nothing for me to enjoy and I felt like each episode was a waste of time the series just offered nothing for me. I had a similar experience with the latest Survivor season, but that's a show of much volume and it was obvious that there was a narratively satisfying ending. For BB15, not only did I find the end result to be incredibly underwhelming but I was disappointed to realize that it's an ending that the show actively endorses. Like, it's not lost on me that the only person outside of Helen's clique who has appeared on BOTS was Matthew (who only appeared since he's dating Mark), yet we've seen multiple appearances from Mark and Steven and have also seen Ash and Biannca and Helen. Like, the MO of this show has become thoughtless and baseless conflict, and both people and the program become labeled as boring and too nice and all that really means is "the show is currently lacking a certain type of forced and unimaginable conflict and that's the only kind of conflict that makes a good show." I don't know, I always thought that BB15 was **** but with everything that happened this series it only makes me reflect on BB15 even more critically since I think it caused a lot of the terrible stuff in BB16 to happen. tl;dr this show is long to watch and lately the producers have been promoting and celebrating a lot of values that are direct contrast to mine, and it has led me to question my relationship with a show I once loved.
