Default Have you enjoyed Big Brother: Power Trip?

Just wondering, has anyone enjoyed watching this series of Big Brother? If so why?
If you haven't, why have you not enjoyed it?

There have been moments of the show which I have found enjoyable but towards the end, the producers have gone all over the place with the editing. I also think the tasks/twists have been focused too much on outside information which has worked well in parts but too much of it ruins the whole game.

I'd like to hear your opinions as everyones are different

By no means the best, but I have enjoyed it.

I've tried my hardest to like it and defend it but my god, the production team's incompetency really has tested my faith in this show sometimes

This.

I'd liked the first 5 weeks but it's been average since then

It could have been one of the greats but it's been dire since week 4.

Constant meddling by the producers combined with a bunch of tw@tty housemates have made it quite bad for me so far.

I've enjoyed the twist & turns this year, but for me what's really let this series down is the HM's it took me ages to decided who I liked & who I didn't with exception of a Chris I don't find my of the HM's very likeable this year at all, so it's kinda spoiled my enjoyment of the show this year.

Never missed an episode of BB from 1 to this but I'm dozing off to this. BB4 didn't have me dozing off but this has. They are all bland characters, completely void of any personality. Add to this the producers and it's awful.

Yes it has been pretty compulsive viewing. I am waiting for Helen to get her comeuppance.

No hesitation at all from me.
In my opinion, this is the worst ever BB for me,also while the power trip could have probably had promise, the way it has been played out, manipulated and interfered with by the interventions of BB has made this the most pointless and worst theme yet.

I've watched it but that's about all I can say - too much outside knowledge has killed it for me and the constant meddling and manipulation by the producers has killed what could have been a good series imo.

Yes I have enjoyed it but for the past fortnight I feel the momentum and my interest have slowed. The power thing was a good idea but I don't feel BB has exploited it to best effect.

Last year imo there were more genuine HMs and interactions than this. I think the mistake has been to have to many with previous experience of playing the game.

Stick 16 "novices" together from factory's offices and building sites give a fair and balanced edit to all and we would have a good show.

Not the worst...but down there in the bottom five or so!...Well, I can't see me remembering much of it , or the contestants when the next one starts anyway!

...'The Power Trip' thingy could have actually worked and made it a great series if it had been done properly!....By this I mean that the Housemate that was deemed to be "this week's power"...should have been kept secret all the way through the series, and so would not have been scared of enforcing their will. [with regards to nomination results and treats/punishments etc!]
....Just imagine such as Mark's smug little face if he knew that he was safe to do as he liked, instead of trying not to ruffle any feathers when BB grasses him up to the Hm's!
