Default Do you prefer civ or celeb BB?
I think is a difficult question tbh
C4 has most of the stellar civvy BB’s
C5 has most of the stellar celeb BB’s

But what version of BBUK do you prefer?

Civilian - is Big Brother

The celeb version was always meant to just be a bonus thing to have in January. I hate that the celeb version is held in higher regard by the producers now.

Always preferred the civilian version, where you don't know the housemates beforehand and housemates don't have to live up to their public personae. Also it lasts longer which is better for this forum.

Not long enough these days though.

I think the shortening of the regular series hinders storylines that could progress, plus having two celeb versions a year tires the format.

I voted celeb providing it does not have the deadwood twins in - but I think they are part of CBB now

Civ.

Celeb BB annoys me because it's so short and the line-ups are always hit and miss.

Even if CBBs are better on C5 I'll always prefer the normal series.
