I'm sure this has been covered but how did BB manage to get it so right last year yet so wrong 12 month later?

Remember characters like Shree,Half-wit,Marcus,Norin&Bea (and someones millionare boyfriend who walked after a week?

Why couldn't they stick to a winning fnrmula? If it aint broke don't fix it!
The only part of the formula they stuck to was to bring in a rich toff (an inferior version of Half-wit) . The fact that Ben is the most entertaining character is hardly surprising.

Hindsight is a great thing but the 1st mistake was to pick Steve. Very pc and set up the tone for a pc show.
Wheres the fit bird? (unless they thought that Beyonce one was fit?)

Weak weak characters.Has anyone even given a bit of stick in the diary room yet?...remember Marcus?

Just what were they thinking in the audition process?
Maybe i'm being harsh and last year was a lucky fluke.

It might be perking up. Steve and Andrew look like they're not happy. Friction is on the horizon.

I think they've got some great housemate, I like it to be as original as they can get it. Getting housemates similar to the ones last year wouldn't be as good.

The new HMs haven't looked as good and don't stir things as much. Also some of the big characters like Sunshine, Govan and Shabby left early.

I still think it's early days for the new housemates, I could see Jo causing some friction soon.

Marcus was an idiot who acted like a big kid! If that is your idea of an entertaining hm - it ain't mine! And it isn't just guys, the girls would like some eye candy too!

Its been a breath of fresh air this year to have 'normal' people in the house.

Takes ya back to the whole reason this show came about in the first place. An experiment to see how normal everyday people live together in a confined space away from the outside world for several months.

Big Brother 1-3 are by far the best series. Series 11 is very reminiscent of those.
Sorry to the kids who jumped on Big Bro from series 5-6. Thats not what it's about.

Yea . I have tried to get into it this year but its just not happening. I may give it another week but last night was torture and i didn't make it past the 2nd ad break for the 2nd night in a row.
Dosn't look like the shows editors have much to work with, even George Lamb looks withdrawn latley
