Default Anyone else just "half watching" this?

I kind of found this a struggle to follow. Its not bad, there have been worse but it's not exactly an amazing series for me. I find I am going days without watching and not to bothered to catch up. I think I am struggling because we are not getting to know the housemates properly, which is an integral part of this. Is this just me?

Me too. I've only missed a handful of eps overall but the constant game talk is crap to me. As you say it's not about getting to know any of the housemates anymore.

The editing makes it even harder this year. I find myself confused as the order of events sometimes seems out of sequence or not quite following properly.

It's not as terrible as 12 or 13 but it's not all that great.

I'm finding this series a chore, the first week had potential but it's just a negative borefest now.

I'm still watching, haven't missed one yet but the past few days have been a chore with the bitching and also the girl power task dragged.

Hoping it picks up again tbh.

I watch BBUSA and BBUK equally. I don't know why you Brits are "struggling" with this series. I love it and love every minute of it as much as our version of BB.

I think personally I'm bored. It's the fifteenth series. I don't think I've ever stuck with a single tv show this long.

Everything is devoted to the bitching. I don't even remember anything fun happening anymore. I think back on older series and remember fun tasks that showed everyone having a good time, not the bitchfests. Fights are great but not constant bitching.

I think the opposite. I can't keep up with who supports who on this forum.

Fickle is an understatement.

Mostly due to the World Cup, yeah. As I series I am enjoying it though..although it's becoming too much on the bitching/miserable side for my liking.

I think this series lacks a Housemate like Michelle from BB5 who just wanted to have fun.

The fun factor.

I can't see this series having a best bits video that leaves you thinking "wow, what a brilliant series, can't believe it's over".

There were times when I'd watch the best bits in the final and they'd show clips from the early weeks and I'd be like "oh, I forgot about those great moments".

It's all very cold and clinical nowadays.

This series will go down as a bit average I think Marsh, I might be wrong though but that's what I think.

I normally enjoy things about every BB, but my two least favourite series are BB12 and BB8, I'll wait and see where BB15 will rank for me by the end.

That's a bit harsh though imo.

Although in saying that this week has literally only being carried by Ashleigh, Helen, and Astro Ash, everybody else may as well just LEAVE! as Amma puts it in BB2.

Yeah, I've been starting to lose interest this past week or so. Don't know why, but it feels like this series has already been on for like 6 weeks and that it is already heading into the "losing steam" part of the series.
