I don't think it's all that bad tbh, it's certainly more entertaining than some series

Back in the day i could barely wait for that night's episode of BB every day. These days i almost hope i've got the time wrong. During some recent Series' i've almost come to dread each episode at its worst points or skipped them all together!

I like it but it's not standing out yet properly to me, there's no real flow and arguments seem to spring up from everywhere. The cast bar a few (like LEGEND Channers) are really unlikeable too.

I don't find her entertaining at all. I think she's awful. Just my opinion though.

It started off great but it kind of went down a bit some of the recent episodes have been quite meh really.

and i'm finding the cast meh each time i only care about 4 people really and that's about it.

It is pretty telling when failed z listers first went on CBB to try and ignite their careers, and now they have to resort to civvy BB

What beats me is why life's proven wannabe failures are encouraged on to the show. They are not entertaining. When all they can do is flash their fake breasts or tattoos and hurl expletives at each other, is it really a platform for bigger and better things? Whats the point, its not entertaining, and its not a social experiment, and without those its a non starter

I actually like Chanelle, yes she's been disgusting at times and deserved her warning but she's quite fun.

However, housemates like her are at the core of their problems in my opinion. Fame hungry, pseudo celebrities who go from one reality TV show to the next.

She's keeping the show afloat though? She is the solution to their problems.

I definitely think Timebomb and last series started off worse tbh.

This series has had a lot more natural drama circulate, and despite some casting duds, I think it's been one of the better casts we've seen in a long time.

It's still early days too but I'm pretty confident.

Casting is a very weird thing. People were so happy to see Deborah and Hannah (who I personally like may I add) being cast pre-season and thought they'd be entertaining, but as of yet, they really haven't added much in my opinion to the show.

Whereas, someone like Chanelle, who a lot of people weren't keen on because of her reality TV past is now quite popular not only on this forum, but on Facebook and Twitter too.

You just can't project how things may turn out.

It's been an okay series but they've got the cast all wrong. There's only 4 people I actually like and I sometimes struggle to remember everyone's names which I'm kind of shook at myself about. Maybe time for a mass cull and new housemates? 4in4out2 would actually be welcome tbh.

But...but...but...............she brought an £800 dressing gown in the house with her. (probably would have been better off adding the £800 to the £30 she spent on her face and getting some better 'work' done ).

I do actually quite like Charlotte but i just wish she didn't feel the need to be seen to be gravitating towards the plastic saddo's.

She deserves better and the better clearly have time for her in there.

To be honest Raph being in it is keeping me watching. He's so different from the other wannabes that I can't help rooting for him. I like Charlotte, but she needs to do more for me to support her. None of the others stand our for me, except Chanelle who is a great friend for Raph.

It’s top tier for me so far <3 and why are people moaning about a generally unlikable cast? BB6 had the most revolting cast ever and it’s championed on here?

It's really saddening that they've tried to replicate Ex on the Beach for the past 3 years. They were the show that paved the way for that to be an inferior rip-off, and now they're chasing ratings.

Remove the likes of Lotan, Kieran, Rebecca, Ellie, Kayleigh and Tom and you'd actually have a solid, diverse cast, but no they went ahead with that "pairs auditioning" idea and couldn't let go of the chance to chuck another Stephanie/Jeremy at us. Even though 4 people care about Stephanie/Jeremy.

That said, I am enjoying everyone else. Charlotte, Deborah, Imran, Sukhvinder, Raph, Chanelle, even Joe are all relatively interesting characters. But of course half of those are doomed to have idiots going "ugh they're so boring " because they're given 20 seconds of airtime a night.
