Agree. Old school no contrived twists.

Yeah. The reason why I'd like normal nominations is so that the people sitting there on finale night are the ones that have done something right to be there.

Conflict is an cheap way to judge how good a season has been. This series has started off great but has lost it's shine a bit. It's still better than most C5 seasons though.

I hate that they got rid of the shopping tasks. Always used to look forward to them.

One of the best in a long time - no forced conflict every single night, it's been nice to watch people interact and not just screaming and shouting at each other all the time. It also feels better produced this year.

No, I have really enjoyed it and its been quite refreshing to have a series that does not revolve around getting pissed and shouty every day

Every year people start this crap. Jesus guys, if you don't like BB, don't watch it.

The moaning drives me mad.

And no, hasn't been a flop.

The ongoing showmances. The boring 'is he or isn't he gay?' Andrew thing. The constant dirty talk from Shane J, quite frankly now very boring.

It's just the same old, same old...
No its one of my favourites ever. I always prefer Civvy bb but I really like this celeb bb

GOOD :

1st time ever to have a united house.
Decent level of conversation.
More intelligent HMs
Some kind souls in there
No twerking, slut drops or loud singing, thank god! That's what ruined normal BB last summer.


BAD :

Some dull HMs who gave no memorable moments: Ashley, Jess, Malika, Maggie.



Andrew/Shane J - a poor man's version of James Hill/Austin. Not a 'controversial' or 'shocking' friendship as they would like us to think, but actually pretty normal. This is 2018, not 1958. Yes it would be shocking back then, but not now!

No house bust-ups! (Come on, you gotta have a few..)

Interfering in noms (as usual). Can't beat diary room noms for honesty.

Oh yeah - we hardly saw footage of the bedrooms at night! Remember seeing anything of the boys room at night? Nope nor do i..

Not a great series.

No real favourites for me this year (first time ever) and also apart from dapper laughs who is an idiot no real villains or people who have to be evicted. They put really nice placid people like jess ashley and jonny instead of usual jemma lucy bear or geordie shorers so no conflict. They were quiet on their own shows so this only magnifies it..

In terms of ratings, sure, but in terms of quality it's in the top 3 of Channel 5's alongside 10 and 17. Possibly better than both.

Not at all. I think what it's shown is that BB still has the power to create debate, conversation and an interesting series without it being wall to wall slanging matches and shagging. It's not been the most dramatic of series but then why the hell should it have to be every single time? THAT gets boring a lot quicker than watching intelligent people actually sitting around having intellectual conversations.
