I watch the odd episode just so that I can slag it off. That makes me happy.

[DouglasS]

People take hating it too seriously. It's not some political show, get over it - it's light entertainment and harmless.

[y.winter]

Haven't watched a single episode but just from reading and seeing the pictures I know it's not my cup of tea.
Full length superficial showmances with a Barbie and Ken clones - it's like encapsulating everything that I don't like in BB.
It sounds like it's well edited and produced better, but still the content is not thing.
Plus, there are better shows that I'd rather watch.

I honestly couldn't think of anything more mind numbingly boring to watch than a group of shallow, vapid morons who have nothing of interest to say or add to the world other than their appearance trying to cop off with each other for a bit of fame.

[Kazanne]

A lot of people are embarrassed to say they watch it as it is a show that people take the pee out of,a bit like BB in the latter years, I have never watched it but thought I would give it a go this year,must say I don't get the hype,it's ok but not brilliant TV,very shallow and vacuous really.Might be better if the contestants were more varied in ages,colours and sizes.

Because whatever clips of it I've seen have just been celebrating and guffawing at dumb quotes and vapid statements. I thought we moved past that when Brian Belo won, but I guess it's why Celebrity Juice is still on air. The bar for "dumbness" is forever being lowered.

ugh it's so annoying

[Wizard.]

I never thought I’d be interested, but then I was hearing about the drama so I am interested, but now there’s too many episodes to catch up on.

I only watch for Alex

[armand.kay]

I just find it funny that people are taking a moral high ground on taste and intellect on a big brother forum. The criticism love island is getting in here is alarmingly similar to what big brother was getting in its heyday

[JerseyWins]

It's just unnatural. I'd MUCH rather see one or a few showmances on a show like Big Brother mixed in with a bunch of other stuff in the storyline than just a complete (and totally fake & vapid) lovefest. And it's literally a schoolyard draft to decide couples

I honestly don't blame people for liking it as I can see it being like a cheap way for a bit of entertainment but not for me.

[JerseyWins]

Short answer: It was boring in the little bit I watched but maybe it's better if/when there's arguments & blowups for some cheap entertainment.

(I don't even know exactly what I mean by "cheap" entertainment but it feels right)

[TomC]

The thing about it being 'inane' that I don't get is that...BB simply isn't a televisual beacon of intellectual content?
