Unhappy Thoughts on the series so far

Arguments, bitching, drama. The usual stuff. It's an improvement on the last series but that is not saying much. This is just my opinion but nothing has come close in terms of interesting housemates or heated discussion than the Pete Burns, Michael Barrymore series all those years back. These housemates really lack that edge for me, they all seem caught up in a egotistical battle to see who is the biggest Arse wipe but don't have anything to say and not many of them have credentials outside of the reality TV set up itself. It seems so scripted than ever before. Even one of the most fun to watch elements of the show, Nominations, has been missing for the most part.

Look at Gemma Collins, I look into her eyes and see a snide. Fat, thin, blonde, brunette. I could care less about her looks, her personality screams phoneyness. Urgh, it's neausating. Angie Bowie is the same, horrid woman, I would tell her to **** right off if I was in her company.

Stephanie Davis, desperately lacks self awareness to say the least and the so called romance with the walking sketch board is boring. Having seen her boyfriend on programmes such as First Dates then they all suit each other's company to a tee.

If I was to pick one interesting house mate it would be Tiffany but again that isn't saying much. A 5/10 so far.

The thing is... big brother will never be what it was all those years ago.
These celebrities go into the house knowing exactly what is expected of them, and with the belief that their knowledge will give them control over their fate in there... give them the edge over BB.

But, they all over estimate their own mental health and emotional well being going it, and BB's tactics of sleep deprivation and starvation work every time to insight the drama and bitching and arguments that these C or D list celebrities are giving us.

My opinion is that this has been one of my favourite series out of CBB or regular BB in about the last 5 series. Ever night it is someone elses night for the melt down. All of them are feeling the claustrophobia, the sleep deprivation, the low blood sugar... and at any given point... any one of them is ready to blow.

Sure, some of them are playing it up (*cough* Gemma), but I actually think a lot of the outbursts and dramatics have been due to the environment and the fragile ego's thrown in there... and I am loving watching the fallout tbh.

I take it the budget Channel 5 has isn't as big as what Channel 4 had? I'm tired of the reality "star" entering the house. Surely they could come up with better house mates? As I said earlier, even the nomination side of things is weak this series and that is usually one of the most interesting and pivotal parts of the show.

It's pretty dark in there right now, while it's been entertaining, I hope it lightens up a bit soon. Everyone seems miserable.

The Tail is wagging the Dog......BB allowing behaviour from the young females that is so bad it's making the older housemates ill ....in fact, BB reward the silly little bitches....the inconsideration from the reality people is so awful I've lost respect for BB....
Also this series we've once again been robbed of normal nominations and I think that is the one area that should remain as it always was.....noms was the best part of the show for me

Gemma Collins an actress.....don't think so, can't even remember the basic rules of a simple task....wouldn't be able to remember lines as an actress if her life depended on it....just a lazy greedy talentless slob.....and 34 years old acting like she's 17.....your time is ticking Mrs, Enjoy it while you can love, there ain't them many shopping days left till Christmas ...you're gonna be a washed up old bag reeeeeel soon

Th arguments are getting boring and I can understand why David Gest walked as he didn't want to be associated with the immaturity of some of it.

It's good, not brilliant. The cast isn't great but they're good enough. I'm enjoying the lack of big twists and meddling. For the most part it has been natural/classic Big Brother with no interference, which I like.

It's a solid series so far.

It's getting kind of dire. Put Perez in - he'll show them all what an ego really is.
