It may seem a breath of fresh air to you that it's subtle, but if soaps followed that suit, they would lose ratings for sure. So how can cbb realistically be any different?

Not everyone is going to sit down and watch the show and think to themselves, "Omg I am so excited hearing about gays and trans, and India is the be all and end all of any furores in the bb house

I think everything is looking hunky dory at minute and what could really change the mood?

Even that old boring git Anne isn't kicking off, and I think we was all expecting fireworks from her.

Genuwine may be disappointed that he not gonna get much lovin, but that will pass

What else is going to satisfy the viewers?

Hissy fits and sex romps is addictive to watch, it has in past so can't expect people to suddenly change their ways of thinking and suddenly find this series satisfying when it is the total opposite

The difference is this isn't a soap! It's the original reality TV EXPERIMENT.

You need to go watch Geordie shore if you want instant gratification and no building of characters or real storylines.

There has been fall outs this series it's just they were far more intillegent and deeper than rowing over hot water or hair straighteners thank god!

Most viewers are finding this a refreshing change especially after last years disasterous year for bb with episodes dipping below 700k....on that fact it shows people were getting very bored of the usual tantrums and fake drama and the producers have done a brilliant job thus far.

This is the first series in ages where ive actually laughed out loud whilst watching.
