What are you making of the series now that we are halfway, what has been your highlights of it so far?

[Niamh.]

hhhhmmmm, The HMs aren't the best at all. The only thing keeping me interested is the JJ/Josie relationship other than that, there isn't much happening. I think BB has really tried with the tasks etc this year and if they'd done that last year with the HMs they had, it could have been the best year ever.

[Stu]

It's shoite. The gaudy production has me thinking 'maybe they were right and I really ought to be watching something better'.

The house, as great as it was in the pictures, looks too over the top on TV. I actually rather BB's traditional cheap iPOD chique plastic. The tasks still revolve around ~whacky costume fun and are actually embarrasing to watch if anyone is in the room. The house is lacking in big personalities [even Ben is tame compared to previous alternative favourites like Rex and Marcus]. No worthwhile twist has actually happened yet. No substantial changes to the format have been made [snazzy video effects and soundtracking five minutes are not changing the format].

I could go on.

It sucks, really.

[Beastie]

It's not bad.. an allright series.. not the best.. not the worst. I prefer it to last year though.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Not the best series, with crap housemates, which are over rated on here. But I think its better then 4, 8 and 9

[yousoboo!]

I'm really missing the Shabby dynamic. Still enjoying it though.

[BB_Eye]

A mediocre series with only the occasional entertaining HL show. Like last years series, it suffers from a case of BB8 syndrome, only far more severe.

[Niamh.]

I still hate seeing it go though and think maybe a new channel and fresh minds on it could work

[yousoboo!]

Too many pointless HMs in this series.

Getting Phil Edgar Jones on board again was a mistake. He has a consistent record of incompetence for helming Big Brother's production team.

Ey. If only he chose me to go through when I auditioned. You could have another entertaining hm in there

Yeah I feel the same! JJ/Josie is the only reason I keep watching, and also Ben sometimes.

I cant believe the 3 new housemates they put in, Surely out of the Whole UK they could find a better 3!!!!!

It is pretty good, but is lacking in real wtf classic moments, which is mainly down to the lack of booze.

This dry house policy is pathetic.

[Zippy]

Not the great final series we deserve. As its moments but too much deadwood in the cast.

Couldve been so much better. But the producers don't seem to want explosive action and have chosen a low impact bunch. Bet they didnt bank on JJ being a nutjob either.

6/10.

This is why I think a whole new channel and team and maybe change a few rules etc might benefit the programme, like this is why Simon Cowells shows always last and stay popular imo I mean X-Factor is basically Pop Idol.Pop stars the rivals etc but he just changed things around abit and it's still as popular as ever after nearly 10 years

BB needs to give them more booze.

I agree. I hope it goes on channel 5 or whatever next year!

I don't mind it being a long 13 week series.. but maybe it should be shorter?? or well they do needs more tasks, twists, manipulation and BOOZE. Maybe have more of the BBUSA into the BBUK with the amount of tasks and twists they have. Turn it more into a gameshow type thing.

I dont know why they're holding back on the booze this year All the funniest stuff happens after booze

[arsenalforever]

without ben and JJ in this show it would be in BB4 and BB8 terrioty

it hasn't been the best hasn't been the worse it would be sixth in my fav BB's of all time.

[Kore]

Niam, how about we pick the housemates for any future BB Series (whatever channel it may be on). It'll be bigger than celeb get me outta here/x factor/world cup final.. combined!...lol

you can't feed them booze all the time
only Ben and JJ have been at least giving us something worth watching with their bitchness and funny behaviour
