Default It's official, Power Trip is better than Timebomb!

What an awful twist. Words cannot describe how badly the producers have messed up here.

A quadruple eviction, two weeks in. Are they ****ing crazy?
How unfair, that three people who wouldn't be evicted had it been a single eviction, end up loosing their place in the house, just because of this twist, and they haven't even been nominated.

I'm sorry, but Helen's pass to the final was a much superior twist to this.
Danielle being evicted without a public vote was much superior to this.

EVERY SINGLE CRAP TWIST IN BB15 WAS BETTER THAN THIS!

Wow, they've really messed up.
I'm so annoyed.

It's not official for me. I'm still very much enjoying this series.

Granted, the same went for BB15 in the first few weeks, but my point is that this series hasn't taken that dip yet for me.

I'm still really enjoying this series, the twist is good in theory, but the fact that 3 big personalities will go is terrible.

The quadruple eviction didn't work in BB11. I doubt it will work now.

Wow, they've screwed up.

Again, the twist in general was a good idea in BB11, but it got rid of the wrong people, whereas if it was a VTS, the deadwood would have gone.. the 'shock quadruple' eviction theory is good, but only if they pull it off right, otherwise they lose big characters, like in BB11 and now this series.

Another flop from production, what a shocker

It's not a VTS, though.

We pretty much loose three big characters on Friday, too.

I agree, Power Trip was much more enjoyable.

I'm going to decide next Sunday whether this series is a disaster and Power Trip is better.

I'm really enjoyed this series far more than BB15 so far. This twist is rather worrying although I will stick by and see how it pans out.

I'm pretty much done with this series I think. It deserves to get cancelled at this point.

If the housemates weren't so crap this year, I'd agree, but I personally think this is hilarious and I can't wait to watch

And tbf, EVERY current series is the worst ever when it first airs.

Same here. TBH.

Funny, because before BB16 started. I said, I'm giving it two weeks to see if I enjoy it, and I've loved every second of it. I said to myself if I didn't enjoy it, I'd begin re-watching BB6 on the 27th May, to celebrate it's ten years.
But as I've enjoyed it, I'm not going to.

What do they do?

Just when I'm about to stick with the series, they go and screw it up.
Idiots.

The producers really are scared of getting another BB4, aren't they? Maybe they should start choosing entertaining housemates and not half-famous ones to generate more viewers.

I don't get why they care so much about ratings.

Surely, the viewers enjoying the show is more important than having an extra 0.3m, who will never tune in ever again. Good ratings don't necessarily mean a good series. Look at BB4, which averaged 4.6m, compared to BB8/9, which both averaged 3.9, and 3.6m.

They need to focus on keeping their current viewers, not getting more viewers.
