nope I'm really into it. I've got behind on a couple of occasions because of holidays/work/events but I've been excited to get back to watching it regularly every time.

Just barely going through the motions!
A very, very average series at best. There's a couple of good housemates and then they just picked a load of fillers for all the wrong reasons who turned out to not make great viewing.

Someone at C5 BB HQ needs a good kick up the arse!!! Another year like this next year could be the final nail in the BB coffin i reckon.......sadly!

Im flipping through the episodes, hoping for some spark of life.
BBBOTS keeps hinting Helen's pass to the final might not be guaranteed - but until she's gone, I think the series is being held back.

But fun is definitely missing from the group. One "spontaneous" food fight isn't enough.

Ive been saying from the start this series reminded me of BB12... and it is now since the first 3 weeks were good but then it started to go downhill...

I have a love hate relationship with it, half the time I'm hating on it and the other half I'm loving it.

I'm still finding it very watchable. I think the only ep I missed, I watched on demand the next day. BOTS on the other hand, I probably catch about half the eps.

But with no live feed I totally understand the feeling of not fully knowing our housemates, in a way it seems like we're trying to feast on scraps.

After Toya left I was only going to watch nominations eps and evictions if I cared enough about the evictee but the clip of the girls saving the boys made that episode null so I didn't watch it. I'll watch Ash getting evicted though. I get news about the show from here, nothing interests me enough to watch though. I didn't even watch all of Friday's and any of Saturday's. It's just not that interesting.

Like I've been bleating all over the forum - I've been watching the eviction show and maybe one or two episodes on in the background on my days off... And I've never missed an ep in any previous series . It's really that bad and the ratings must surely be suffering badly? I mean look at this thread... Seems like a lot of people feel this way, and we're all people who have taken the time to sign up to a forum specifically about BB! Long time fans who should be the most gripped. Casual viewers must be REALLY turning off this year :/.

It's not just average this year, it's abysmal.

Hope it gets axed half way through so they get the hint to put fun people in next year.

The problem now is that the producers are trying to manipulate the show too much for my liking. I appreciate that they have to do things and set things up to make the show worth watching. But, the way they are controlling nominations is very annoying. The point of BB is for the housemates to vote who they want to put up and then for the public (us that pay for the show) to vote out who we want to go. I feel that the way BB keep putting up people for eviction, rather than the housemates voting is taking away our right to vote for a natural nominated person, and not anyone that's just been selected at random.

BB is putting too many people on the list too, what happened to it just being the housemates with the most votes, be that 2 or 5, depending on a tie. Now BB seems to be putting everyone up each week. They are making themselves seem too greedy for the phone vote.

Now the reason all the boys are up, is because girls keep getting evicted and BB do not want the show to be all boys left. But, you should not mess with the natural progression of the show and just because more girls are going than boys, if BB are that bothered, they can put more girls in. They certainly have done that before, put new housemates in mid series.

I too am getting quite annoyed with the show now and I used to not answer my phone, vote regularly, post on facebook and discuss with my mates. Now, I don't know anyone who watches it anymore and I just watch by myself and if someone calls I talk to them, as I feel I am not missing much.

I'm finding the bitching really boring now - I'm trying to stick with it but I record the episodes and fast forward through most of it. Helen and her mouth have killed the series for me. I like a bit of arguing and bitching but for it to dominate is just too unbalanced for my liking. Also I totally agree with Ben about not really knowing the HM's that is an integral part of the pleasure for me and it's just not there in this series at all. I used to love the random chats on LF and there is absolutely none of that this year so I just feel I'm being manipulated by the edit - hence there is no way that I am going to spend any money voting in this series.

I've not missed a episode yet, but have to be honest I'm getting really fed up with all the bitching, just wish they would have more fun.

They need more tasks. My best memories of BB through the years have been of the tasks.
Also, new housemates need to come in.

I am enjoying it but I'm finding the editing a bit peculiar

Very bad editing. Not allowing us to see the housemates as they really are is ruining the show.

yet again BB are trying too hard to manipulate the public.

It's kinda strange that we get 1 hour of highlights then 1 hour of talking about the highlights. I think I would rather have a two hour highlights show.

I find myself playing on my phone when it's on and not really fussed about what time of day I watch it. Last year I had to watch it as soon as it came on and I was glued to the screen, mostly down to Gina, but this year in not too fussed about it. Don't like any of the housemates. The whole concept of power is getting stale. I haven't watched last nights episode yet

I'm enjoying it although I'm not that glued to my screen. It serves more as a background show really. I go on my laptop/phone during it and look now and again. Still know what's going on and get the general idea but it's not keeping me hooked like BB14 did where I sat down and watched it without doing anything else.

They should have put ordinary people instead of thier own mates. For that outrageous nepotism, I'm half watching and fully not bothered.

No I'm still enjoying it.

However I do believe we need new housemates.
