At the end of the day the reason why I hate BB9 so much is because of BBlock. If everyone in the house had of been like Alex, Luke, Bex and Sylvia then we would of had a great series

I agree. People like Rachel, Darnell, Kathreya, Mo, Stuart, Dale, etc. are what ruined the season for me. I found them so unbelievably annoying that it became unbearable to watch towards the end. Thank god for Sara, Lisa, and Rex at the end cuz they were the ones who kept me watching.

But even in BB9 they still had great housemates that made up for the ****ty ones. And even the most entertaining ones this season aren't even that great. If you put Sunshine, Ben, or Shabby in BB10, BB7, or BB6 they would fade into the background compared to the rest of the cast and no one would find them entertaining in comparison to Nikki, Makosi, or Marcus.

I agree this serie isn't quite up there with some of the best but i wish people would stop going on about how Rachael shouldn't have gone and they miss her.
She was a boring, stereotypical wannabe HM that wasn't needed.

It's like all the Steph lovers from BB9, boring housemate yet everyone was up in arms about her going.

[_Seth]

BB8 was worse... and apparently BB4, but I never watched pre-BB5.

Patrick - I see where you are coming from but it shouldn't take the producers 6 weeks to sort out their own **** up. A huge **** up too.

I'll be watching the 'all star' show, that's for sure. But won't be watching this for much longer if it carries on the way it is going.

They got the BB10 cast absolutely spot on, infact I'd say it's one of my favourite casts ever.

Diverse, interesting, and bar Hira, all added something to the show. Extremely underrated series.

And it just goes to show that at the end of the day casting is everything. The production was sh!t last year, but a brilliant cast made for a brilliant series. This year the production is good - but the housemates are crap - and so far, it's making for an absolutely appauling series. Disappointing.

Last paragraph is very true. Lets hope it gets sorted out.

It's highly distressing to think of how an entire team of people who get money thrown at them to sit around a table and match up strangers could do such an incredibly bad job at the casting. BB11's housemates feel like they only form what should be half of the overall cast. I even said that on launch. It's like they got a dozen reasonably good housemates, took two thirds out, and - with intent - put in the dullest ones they could find.

Nothing simply clicks this year. The final BB should have been an absoloute onslaught of endless twists, tasks and mentally draining psychological mind tricks from the start. Viewers don't get hooked by red and yellow flags outside the house. They get hooked by things being bigger, louder, and somewhat different but with the classic formula intact. This show should have been designed to rope in lost viewers. Why the hell would I watch this series if I have not followed it in recent years? Give me a reason. I dare you. Instead it's following 2007 and it's formula of putting a dim bunch of people in ~whacky costumes in the hope that one of them might fart or fall over or something.

Look at how effortlessly Endemol ballsed up the mole task. I defy anyone to attempt to defend that piece of shit. It should have been a week long saga of betrayal and tears. Instead it was a weekend of a gay bloke dressed as a mole knocking some cereal and pizza on the kitchen floor.

Yeah? Really? Fuck you, Endemol.

Completely true.

I just don't get why they care so much about potential controversies anymore. Infact, a controversy would rope in a **** load of viewers. There should be unlimited alcohol, tasks/twists designed to piss with their brains and emotionally and psychologically **** them up, housemates that'd rub each other up the wrong way, etc etc. They shouldn't care what anyone has to say anymore - the show is ending. I'd rather see it go out with an almighy bang than some half-arsed attempt.

Second this!

New faces are a must have soon, this series is ok but it all seems too petty and hence boring.

[boozy]

id rather be watching the usa bb or even the german one even though i couldnt understand it because anything has to be better than this lot moaning about crisps for gods sake!!

[*mazedsalv**]

BB10 is worse than BB11. BB4 and BB8 were also worse than BB11.

BB11 is great IMO... the negativity is getting too much.

Mazed, please can you explain why you think this series is great?

I like the housemates, LF shows us great fun moments, shame that the Hls miss them out.
Tasks are generall good, like yesterdays penalty shootout task, the sticking people up task and todays puppet task etc...

My names Salv by the way.

It seems some are easily pleased.

A puppet task?! Really?

Its VERY funny. I think the puppet task is genius, brings out personalites certainkly brought out Steves...

It reminded me of the Box Task when they were arguing and you could only see the pics of the HMs, because when they were talking the cameraman only focussed on the puppets.

JJ and SS smooching was so funny.

Last year was utterly appalling on the tasks front (the I'm a Celeb style eyeball eating task being the worst of all) so anything looks good in comparison for some people I guess.

agreed 110%

[stonedape]

I don't think the series is particularly great so far, but it's definitely not their worst cast out of the gate. A little different, all quirk and no sex appeal. Since BB6 though I've pretty much hated 100% of the cast going in and had to let them all grow on me over time. BB11 is no exception. It's not the worst, but 95% of posters here could do a better job casting.

[ILoveTRW]

For me the only thing BB10 was missing was great tasks (but then again so has every series since BB7). It had everything, and although Hira may of been boring she still did contributed a little bit, well at least more than Steve, Nathan, Iffy, Dave, and Ciaomhe

[Maia]

The BB8 lot were a shoddy bunch, I barely had a favourite or even cared. This year's lot have also been quite poor so far. We need some new housemates - fast.

[Jack_]

Oh, and another thing, I keep saying it but it's because it's true.

The problem this year is that the amount of dullards is far, far too much. In the past we've only had to put up with a couple (Hira, Rachel, Susie to name a few)...and they have just flew under the radar and the larger characters have shone. But that's not the case this year. Far too many dullards and so there is **** all to watch.

Last year proved that ten years on, BB still had the legs to continue. This year proves why Big Brother is coming to an end.

Even the supposed entertaining ones like Shabby are pretty dull really.
