Default Does anyone else feel like watching this year is a chore

Or like you're watching out of loyalty to the show that's been a massive part of your life?

I just cant get into it, when the highlights are on it may aswell just be background noise because its just not generally entertaining me this year.

Im not going to switch off because ive got BB ocd lol but I feel like if I did switch off I wouldn't really be missing out on anything.

Anyone else?

Nah, I'm enjoying it but I am missing the Live Feed to get a better picture of what's really going and what the HMs are like

Yeah the extreme lack of live feed isn't helping.

I still find it hard remembering some of their names :/

Im loving it this year. Gina ruined the whole experience for me last year. Couldn't stand her. I still cant. What she was wearing on BBBOTS last week was completely whorish

Because you're getting cherry picked moments in a highlights show. People like to see them outside of the heightened moments in the highlights, in the many hours where they may actually be getting along and having conversations about something other than the power housemate. Let's you get to know them more and understand the house better.

It's alright, but with The World Cup BB has kinda become the bridge between Matches for me.

I agree with you Daniel, however Toya is starting to become the second-coming of Charley so I'm definitely not leaving now <3333

I do kind of agree to be honest. I do find myself watching it just because its Big Brother , not because it's entertaining.

Because we don't get to know the housemates, all we see is shortened clips edited together and this year I feel like the edits are far more choppy.

We don't see much actual conversation, just a minute clip then a picture of a housemate wagging their finger then goes to another minute clip.

Exactly.

Plus we're not getting to know the housemates at all, we just know whose friends with who and what each person's opinions are on the power housemate. Wish we'd get normal conversations except just power housemate talk...

I'm enjoying it so far this year. It's not brilliant but I'm feeling engaged enough.

Can't say I'm as hooked as BB14 though.

The biggest flaw of this series compared to others, even BB14, is that there seems to be no concentration on getting to know the housemates. Normally by this point I feel like I know them well enough. This year I'm not feeling that. I like the change of the 'power' and theme becoming more of a focus although that seems to be sacrificed for what Big Brothers main purpose is, watching a bunch of strangers live together in a confined space.

The now non-existent live feed also makes you feel a bit far away from being close to the show or housemates.

Yeah.

It really isn't like Big Brother this year. Its to game show and im not really interested in constant paranoia talk.

It occurred to me that BB has become like TiBB. We see a couple of bitchy exchanges and then there's a sassy gif, then a bitchy exchange etc etc.

But, the editing is definitely choppy, especially with Toya. I don't know what she's talking about every time she opens her mouth.

..it's just really the 10pm thing for me that's sometimes a chore because I'm awake so early in the morning so I would rather it have been 9pm but I understand why it isn't...
