Derek is a low-key snake so he can leavr, Shaun is just dull. And Helen and Sandi have their moments but they're mostly dull as well

[Shaun]

Give me these 3 over the rest any day. Their observations and humour have been far more entertaining to me than Jemma's toxicity, Sarah's meltdowns and Paul's need for rehab.

I normally would completely disagree with this, but I can kind of see your point as the show does feel like it's forcing us to support one of Sarah, Paul, or Jemma as they're the "characters" instead of letting us choose who are the characters which might be those 3 which as you've pointed out do seem to have a good sense of humour when they do get shown. I mean Helen must be funny if she's a Comedian surely?

[Shaun]

I'm not mad about them chasing storylines but there's just no alternative, and it fosters this annual "well everyone else is boring" mentality among the sheep and it's exhausting. I get that it's a TV show and you should keep entertainment there but I just value random conversations, jokes and kind people over gobby trash.

I agree with you for the most part, the reason why Ch4's BB was so much more popular is it had all of the stuff that me and you both want on top of the gobby trash at the same time.

The show needs people to takeover that actually care about the programme because at the moment all we seem to have in charge is people that like the competition element of Big Brother, but want to also make it like some sort of Interactive Drama from the Video Game world where who you vote out will change the outcome of the story. I know that it's an OTT comparison because it's different entertainment platforms, but it does feel like BB isn't BB anymore but instead TOWIE/LI.

I like Derek as he seems to be the kind of mediator and the voice of reason.

The other two, DULL.

I think Helen would have some good stories to tell but its just not happening, or if it is, we are not seeing any of it

They are just boring me to tears

I am not sure they could show stuff...I mean if the gossip was 'too juicy' I think BB would have to get permission to show it, else they could get sued...they surely at the very least would have to find out if its actually true or made up. I think thats how it works. Which is why I think casting exs hoping they will 'spill the beans' and stuff is pretty stupid

But yes. They have been pretty useless so far. As has Amelia...who nearly has a shownamce thing going but thats all she has brought which isn't encouraging

No, I agree with you too
We are manipulated in every decision we make these days and the edit is designed for the producers, not us so I wouldn't say my decisions are correct when it comes to big brother, but we can only go from what we see, I assume that's why they stopped the 24hr live feed, they can't control the results that way
