I guess I'm with the few people who like Bea. She was brilliant
I even liked Lisa. Surreal series.

actually one of the funniest moments for me from BB10 was Charlie (who I didn't like either) doing impressions of BB voice overs if Lisa and David were the last two HM left

I long for those days too. When showmances happened and were not contrived. When housemates didn't have agents and rows evolved naturally and not as a desperate bid for air time. Sadly, as long as this show stays with channel 5 I don't think it will change, except maybe for the worse. Because channel 5 only seem to think that if they show enough sex and aggression, it's bound to be a success.

The current style of editing started in BB11 though. The only difference now is that they play music at the start of the episodes and have recaps before the titles. I would like it if the old style of editing came back but I've accepted that it's never going to happen

what do people think of the chances that, if big brother was dropped tomorrow, channel 4 would have it back? or any other channel that could give good quality production?

I honestly believe that Big Brother in the UK has come to the end of its life. I think for one year they should try and adopt the North American style of Big Brother: HOH, Noms, Veto and Eviction. Perhaps there needs to be a refresh of the whole thing and make it more of an actual 'game' instead of a popularity contest of attention-seekers and simpletons.

the closest we've got was BB12, that felt classic BB but the ones that followed were a scripted & manipulated mess

BB13 was actually really natural too. And there was hardly any meddling from the producers part either. That all started in BB14 |

Yes, BB11 started the change of some things, like musical montages etc. But it was never on the scale of what they did in BB12 or now.

BB13 natural?, BB allowed them too talk about nominations from the start & as a result the house was full of obnoxious bullies, WORST SERIES EVER!

And I don't think them being allowed to talk about nominations is why the house was full of obnoxious people - although it did heighten the bitching, backstabbing, and paranoia within the house but that was still present weeks after that rule had been reverted. And it's not the worst series ever. The majority of series on C5 have been way worse. Nice try loov |

Nomination discussions killed Lydia's game, but still C5 best series.

BB14 is still my favourite C5 series. If C5 want to continue with silly editing and twists, BB14 shows the way to do it while still creating a good series. BB15/16 just took it too far and that shows in drop in ratings since BB14. The whole point of twists and secret houses and this that and the other is that it's rare, having one every week doesn't make it a twist, or a secret, it just makes it a part of the format.
There's just so much wrong with the show as it is now, from the casting right down to shopping tasks (which are exactly the same every week, just with a different cover). It's early days with BB17, there hasn't been anything too bad yet, the reveal of the others/second house was done in a very C4 way (no VTs of people arguing and bitching), the casting is still messy but they've provided entertainment so far and last weeks eviction was amazing, so well produced! Editing is still all over the place and Marcus needs to shut up with some of the silly narrating. Tasks are as unimaginative as always also. |

How can people complain about how BB isn't how it used to be on C4 when their favourite C5 series is BB14, you know, the series where the production because unfair and biased, normal nominations were few and far between and there were twists basically every week.
I still think BB14 is a good series, but I just find it silly how people bash BB13 all the time when it was the most natural C5 series ever.

I quite enjoyed the first two weeks where they could discussion nominations - it increased gameplay and it made the dynamics more interesting. But not to the point, where it got constant and boring or tedious like the whole Power Housemate thing in the second week of BB15.

BB14's cast saved it, not the production. |
