I still think that the first 3 weeks of BB15 are some of the best C5 BB weeks (minus the noms twists and **** tasks)

[Daniel.]

I think I'm out the loop with BB lately, because CBB17 was awful and BB17 average, while people think there great.

[Jason.]

I think I'm losing interest in BB overall. Like the last full series I actually watched was CBB15.

Every other series since then I've either stopped watching or missed episodes without even caring (I'd never miss an episode of BB 3/4 years ago but now I don't care if I do).

You aren't alone on this... I feel the same about BBUK
And sure... all the people going in have been fame hungry for years... but not to the degree this lot are. It's the whole z lister thing this year that made me lose interest fast... Where are your average joe type people... teacher, waitress, barmaid etc... not party girl, aspiring DJ, and gold digger

I think for now BB17 has been good enough to where I'm actually going to bother to watch BB18 at least.

I would too.

I said to myself before this series started that if BB17 is the same as BB15/16 I'm done with the civilian run. But even though BB17 isn't all that, it's still a heck of a lot better than those two.

I hope BB18 take it back to how it was like during BB13, but they won't.

At the very least they seem to have sorted out the nomination situation so that's an improvement

[hot2go]

I think it's been one of the best...in spite of most of them being camera savvy types.
Last year was dire, only liked one housemate and they got booted out pretty sharpish ....and apart from the hideous creature that won, I didn't even dislike them with any passion either. I also thought Helens year was crap. This year has been a real mix.

I think this year is much better than BB13

[Daniel.]

You didn't even watch BB13 properly, you watched it while another series was on so you couldn't be gripped and then stopped

You may have a point, but I genuinely feel I can say quite objectively I think bb17 is better

[Oaker]

I doubt we'll ever get a series as good as BB13 again

Blame Pokemon Go.

I agree there are still too many Love Island moulds but honestly even some of them this year have delivered on being a good housemate. I think they've only miscast one or two: Alex who's offered nothing and Sam who's done the same.

If we can get to the stage where the hot male totty is replaced with one more completely different person (heaven forbid, maybe even someone who's not white), I think we'd be at the stage where the casting isn't the problem, it's just the tasks, outside influence and hugely condensed series length.

This series has had more than its fair share of 'characters' and each eviction has resulted in a major one going and having their story arc closed. Marco was a whirlwind of sleaze that got on everyone's tits and was promptly dealt with, in historic BB fashion. Natalie was a complete moron who talked over everyone and got just desserts. Georgina looked ready to settle down into a tedious showmance when she got another deserved boot for being a miserable bitch, and then Charlie got evicted for being a bunny boiler. Now Chelsea has gone for being a generally unlikeable dick, Jayne looks next for being too good for everyone else, and we're still left with Lateysha, Hughie, Andy, Jackson, Ryan, Jason and Laura who've all delivered a fair amount of drama. Not to mention the walkers/ejections also having a big say in house dynamics.

I do wish there were more video updates on YouTube or their website because we're effectively just being spoonfed their romantic issues with one practical joke or instance of Ryan vomiting a day, but I am willing to hazard a guess that if this were given the coverage and openness that Big Brother prior to 2011 was, we'd put this down as one of the best series.
