Why are you so focused on ratings. Just because lots of people watch doesn't mean its good, loads of people watch lots of things that are c**p.

The best series in entertainment, housemate, twists and task wise are BB3 and BB5, there's no denying that.

BBUSA is fairly popular, it has a loyal fan base and it's latest series was considered a big success.

You just proved by point!

BB3 and BB5 were the most entertaining and the most watched, and then comes BB7.

Look the only way to judge how good BBs are is by ratings as they never repeat any episodes in later years.

I don't agree. Ratings mean more money for the show, means more people saw it. Doesn't make it better in terms of entertainment and housemates and tasks/twists.

Plus you can view any past episode, the internet is full of them. BB3 and BB5 where the best in terms of entertainment, good housemates, great twists and tasks, regardless of ratings...even if the ratings where crap those series would still have been the best.

In your opinion. One person's opinion doesn't make that much difference out of about 5 million people.

And if BB3 and 5 are so good why have more people watched BB7?

Sorry, don't mean to get agitated but why can't it get through to you that ratings don't always equal good? Think about something like Little Britain, gets huge ratings, in comedy terms it's not that funny and is not respected among true comedy fans.

Just because BB7 has huge ratings doesn't mean the show was better, it also had a huge amounts of complaints but like wise that doesn't mean it was bad. What makes it bad was the fact that the twists where over-the-top and failed most of the time, there were too many housemates and too many wannabes more than any other year and the show was manipulated too much. That's what makes it bad.

People tune into car crash TV, that's why stuff like Jerry Springer got huge ratings, the show isn't actually good though is it?

Good should be rated on the quality of the product, in BB terms that is based on housemates, twists and tasks.

BB7 wasn't awful, it had it's moments, it had some entertaining housemates..mainly Nikki (the first time round), Aisleyne and Grace. But to say it's better than any of the other series apart from BB4 and BB8 is crazy in my opinion.

Yeah it's not because BB7 was a success that it was the best one, it doesn't mean anything. The "notion" of best depends of yourself.
