Default Is this the most fake series yet?
It just seems so much more fake than usual. The showmance is just awful, like Marco you're engaged so why the **** are you snogging a girl you've known two days. It's such a set up its unreal.

And they all obviously know there is another house.

All of it just seems so false and all everyone cares about is getting air time

Not really, it's only Marco and Laura that screams contrived. The other house have produced the most natural highlights Channel 5 have ever seen

It's so far from the original concept its beyond a joke. Scrap the show and series ASAP and rebrand it the only way is big brother

Yep, this is some awful Towie/MIC hybrid that has stolen the Big Brother name.

It's not BB.

I agree,I'm past caring about the show, if it was years ago I probably would have hated it but C5 have turned it into a different show so it is what it is.

It's not alien to the BB format at all. BBUSA have been doing it since their 4th season?

Yep. The arguments, the 'connections', the breaking through fire exits (really over done), it's like a poorly acted soap opera. TOWIE doesn't even come across as fake as this series which is pretty depressing.

Big Brother has always had its fame *****s and drama queens, and some fake people, but this series is taking it way too far and it almost feels like they're all on the payroll trying to act out a drama to get their fees.

I do agree that it feels a tad contrived and scripted but it's entertaining me so idc. BB hasn't been the same since 2007, so I'm past caring - as long as we get a decent series I'm happy.

This. If I want to watch Big Brother for what it actually is I just turn to BBCan and BBUS (and so should everyone else), but I'm still happy to watch BBUK as just another tacky reality show that can entertain me every night for a few months

For what it's worth though I still don't buy that it's scripted or anything. But it isn't Big Brother, that's for sure
