Sooooo underrated

I haven't seen it all the way through so can't judge it. I got bored a week into it and stopped watching.

[Jerrica Benton]

lesley was very good.

[Daniel.]

Yes because of Charley. People saying Chanelle was better

[LukeB]

Just finished re-watching this series and this is deffo an amazing series. not good as BB7 obviously but It's my in my top 3.

[Niamh.]

It was one of the worst ones imo, i even stopped watching the following year because of it

I really like BB8. Very underrated series, IMO.

The production that year killed it though. They tried to replicate the success of BB7, with so many bad and pointless twists (Ł100K giveaway, and Halfway House, come to mind), but it made it much worse.
Very similar to BB15, but less nomination based and nasty.
There were a few great twists though, like Fake Week / Charley's fake eviction.

The all female launch twist was terrible to say the least, and them dropping man after man every week jammed the knife in more.

Despite, some bad housemates, there were also some really great ones, who should've lasted longer (Charley, Emily, Shabnam, and Nicky).

BB8 gets rubbish after Charley is evicted. Not only because she was a great character, but they fill the house with 5 ghastly pointless new housemates, who pretty much take over afterwards.

People usually say BB5-BB7 is the golden era of the show. Yes, in terms of ratings. But BB8 did well anyway, with 3.9M, despite being 0.8M off from the 2006 series.
But, IMO BB5-BB9 are in my eyes the greater years, as every one of those series were great, and the media still cared about it then too.

It was in fact BB10 onwards, when the show began to decline.
Didn't help BB8 being a few months after CBB5 though, as there was still criticism from the celebrity series before.

I wonder how well BB8 would've done in terms of ratings, had Shilpagate not happened a few months earlier.

You never watched BB9?

That's one of my favourites tbh. I'd definitely say give it a go if you ever get time.

*waits for Daniel to respond with "BB9 is trash"*.

[andybigbro]

Yeah I did, it was nowhere near as good as BB7 and BB9 but I still liked it.

[Daniel.]

It was better than BB9

[ruiphillips]

One of my favourite series. tbh

[Daniel.]

Yes because of one of the greatest housemates of all time, Charley.

[Pete.]

Amazing series

[LittleBigBrotherUkFan]

I watched it and I liked it ( I appreciated this more than BB UK 7), but there were few things that really pissed me off like the way they threated the halfway housemates and the protection they gave to Ziggy ( that asshole was never up for 93 days). Also I didn't like basically 3/4 of the finalists, but overall I thought it could have been worst.

Ziggy and most of the people in the final were atrocious

But It's a great series!

Great Female cast
Poor Male Cast

[LittleBigBrotherUkFan]

I still don't understand why the twins were so popular. I seriously couldn't stand them. I won't forget the whole Brianda situation: when Amanda said "Oh Brai it's better if we stay friends", I felt so bad for him.
Most people found them very entertaining but for me they were unbearable to watch.

I didn't watch BB7 or BB9

[LukeB]

I loved Samanda tbh
I found them really cute and adorable. I found them funny at times too.

[reece(:]

I'm nominating Carole because like she's like bringing down like all the fun in the house and like snapped at me the other day for like no reason

[Pete.]

BB8 > BB5 imo

I thought BB5 went stale after Victor

I don't think it did. After Victor there was still Michelle who is amazing, Nadia winning () and plenty of other fun moments (I also love Shell but I don't think anyone else shares that opinion lol)

It's certainly not as bad as post-Charley BB8. Now that is a real mess.

It produced one of the worst winners too just to top it all off.

oop, not me being accurate.
