BB13 is usually in the middle of everyone's rankings. I personally enjoy it to an extent as it has a divide and and some drama/arguments to keep you entertained, but it falls flat and the riggage is annoying (although it's the reason someone won so I'm not complaining).

The cast was also pretty tame by BB standards and they were SO convinced that they were making great television that it got to a point in like Week 2 where they had a stupid house meeting and afterwards they were so proud of themselves and all "WOW, they're gonna need to add a fourth episode this week to show all the CRAZINESS and MAYHEM!!!!!" when nothing happened at all and it was a struggle just to fill three episodes. Like, the season doesn't seem bad in hindsight because it was followed up by a bunch seasons that were somehow even worse but it was very bad.

and BB13 is okay. Some good and some bad. An annoying cult of veterans and their worshippers and some likable underdogs. Some semblance of power shifts and some of the most blatant rigs in BBUS history. A mixed bag that is not exactly good, but it shines like a star compared to most of the seasons that preceded and followed it.

See that's one of the things I find off-putting about BBUS, when all the worst people manage to somehow align, dominate and then make it to the end. That's why I enjoyed BB6 so much because it was simply just two sides going after each other and the power shifted equally between the two, so it never felt like a steamroll with one side having the upper hand.
