It just seems so much more fake than usual. The showmance is just awful, like Marco you're engaged so why the **** are you snogging a girl you've known two days. It's such a set up its unreal.

And they all obviously know there is another house.

All of it just seems so false and all everyone cares about is getting air time

[Shaun]

Already over it

When Jayne inevitably ends up going home I'm giving up

[Drew.]

Yep

[Pete.]

Not really, it's only Marco and Laura that screams contrived. The other house have produced the most natural highlights Channel 5 have ever seen

The whole connections is contrived too lets be honest.

[Cherie]

It's really bad, the argument between Ryan and Hugie has to be the worst

It's not alien to the BB format at all. BBUSA have been doing it since their 4th season?

Yeah thats the thing - am I right in thinking that C5 is owned by an American company and the CEO of BB UK is American? This was discussed a lot at BB15. I do miss the C4 days but Im gonna give this series a chance. Im liking Andrew.

It's so far from the original concept its beyond a joke. Scrap the show and series ASAP and rebrand it the only way is big brother

They could call it "I'm a celebrity Ex on the Love Island Beach in a house, get me out of here!"

[Marsh.]

Yep, this is some awful Towie/MIC hybrid that has stolen the Big Brother name.

It's not BB.

[Samm]

No, I like it and people scream "it's all fake!!!!" every series, the moaning is a tad boring

All the people who were saying it's been the best series for over 3 years have changed their tune now and idk why, tonight's ep was great

I'm just enjoying it for what it is now tbh

I agree,I'm past caring about the show, if it was years ago I probably would have hated it but C5 have turned it into a different show so it is what it is.

This. If I want to watch Big Brother for what it actually is I just turn to BBCan and BBUS (and so should everyone else), but I'm still happy to watch BBUK as just another tacky reality show that can entertain me every night for a few months

For what it's worth though I still don't buy that it's scripted or anything. But it isn't Big Brother, that's for sure

BBUS is even more fixed and in a worse state then over here though

Fixed but not scripted (for those who think BBUK is, but don't anyone state the obvious with the DRs please) and they at least have a consistent format

Oh, and the one thing that holds true to the actual premise of Big Brother. 24/7 coverage

Welp how can you say BBUS isn't scripted lmao

Two of the most "real" series were BB2 and BB4 and both sucked soooo

Yep. The arguments, the 'connections', the breaking through fire exits (really over done), it's like a poorly acted soap opera. TOWIE doesn't even come across as fake as this series which is pretty depressing.

Big Brother has always had its fame *****s and drama queens, and some fake people, but this series is taking it way too far and it almost feels like they're all on the payroll trying to act out a drama to get their fees.
