BB5 is miles better than the dull and overrated BB7. I'm not surprised the the forum is divided with choice. I actually think 2004-2005 is more appropriate to be BB's golden years. BB7 had a sh!t eviction order, especially with Sezer (even though he was awful), Sam and Grace being evicted back-to-back-to-back. After Shabahz walking to Grace's eviction was BB7's peak. Also forgot to mention Lea's eviction.
Post Day 30, the series had to rely on four girls to keep the momentum going (Aisleyne, Lea, Nikki & Susie). Eventually we lost most of them too, except Aisleyne. The two weeks separating Susie's eviction and Nikki's return, Aisleyne was the star of the show.
Don't forget the poorly executed "Other House" twist, only Jayne had something to bring to the table, and it failed to make an impact to the series.
BB5 was just perfection.
BB8-BB10 were better than BB7 (unpopular opinion)
