Default Overall thoughts on the series?

Feel free to suggest what you would've liked to happen and what could be improved for next year.

For me, this wasn't my all time favorite series but I enjoyed it. I pretty much had the same complaints like everyone else. I'm an old school BB fan, but this series was really good. I would like next year to be longer (9 to 10 weeks maybe 11), Less home truths tasks, no more bringing ex-housemates in to cause drama, no more what the viewers think tasks, and less manufactured drama.

Worst tasks of all time, piss taking cutting the length, laughable they built a whole new house and closed it after a week, more empty promises

That said thanks to the incredible cast alone this series is only hours away from becoming my favourite on C5. Whether it does or not is resting on tonight's result

It's been ok. Not the best and I seem to like everyone that's left which isn't the norm. I wish there was more drama and it kicked off more.

A poorly produced series with an outstanding cast. I have liked most of the eviction results and I like all of the finalists- some more than others- so I have really enjoyed it, but Channel 5 still need to sort out their tasks and twists.

I am a BB fan and I have put up with the changing face of BB over the years, but the BB updates via social media have been little to none with no timeline, the open door policy allowing ex Hms to come in and abuse existing Hms, and to finish....the court room task sickened me, and I am now finished with BB.It's ironic that BB has come full circle , it was at one time about the Hms being kept in the dark , now it's the fans and viewers kept in the dark.

Crap tasks, amazing cast, perfect eviction order, too much outside contact, too much ex-housemate involvement, too much producer inference, but taking it all into consideration, it's easily been the best C5 series to date.

Loved this series, from the HMs to twist only criticism I have the task haven't been that great ....IMHO
I hope next series they have the same kinda of people, this series has shown the older HMs are more entertaining, so I hope BB take note of this for next years series.

Really great cast, good twists (not too frequent), good graphics.

Awful tasks, too much outside contact...

A solid 8 I'd say.

Best BB c5 has ever done I think Just a shame about some of the tasks & not enough evil punishments for rule breakers

(sorry im old skool C4 fan)

One of the best series. So sad it's ending so soon.

I think it's been a good series. Great cast this time. I think they could do with some fresh heads thinking up some of the tasks. Too rushed at the end.

An outstanding cast, the idea of the others was brilliant if poorly executed (though we now have two houses for them to play with so fingers crossed it's decently used). The tasks have been atrocious but the fact that the cast have carried it and that they left it with barely any nomination twists is brilliant.
So an amazing series by more luck than judgment - Annilation week could have completely destroyed it.

Best since BB13 and proof that Channel 5 civilian series don't necessarily have to border on unwatchable

oooh yes so many superb twists and turns

I think Jason needs a pat on the back for blowing the bedroom crew out of the water That single action alone revitalised a series that was only going downhill...

Been brilliantly,which is quite weird as I haven't had a set favourite.
Maybe that's the secret, that and accepting that the concept off BB now has nothing to do with what is set out to do.
Very much a cast as against contestants, but a briliant cast at that.

It,s made me laugh and made me cry..made me go wow at the telly, left me sitting open mouthed in disbelief, made me want to throw things at the telly.

Oh wait all that was hughie.

It is hughie that has made this series great, hughie and Jayne..I will never forget the wow factor of the first two weeks...absolutely brilliant series that has ended just at the right time.

I agree with most of this Liam. The last few days with the ex housemates coming back to taunt those left plus the carnival task which had a bad end even though I wanted those out have brought it down a bit but the cast were fantastic and the right people with the exception of Jackson are left

A series that could've been much better had they stuck to a consistent nomination rule and given a 64-70 day run to ... Losing Emma, Charlie, Chelsea, Lateysha and Ryan all in the space of two weeks just feels messy ... Overall an improvement on 15 and 16 but still a long way to go before things start feeling right again. Doubt it'll ever get back there though

If Jayne wins, its the best series ever
If hughie, evelyn or andy wins it makes the top three
If jason wins it makes the top five
If jackson wins then it would leave a sour tone to look back on. Top ten though.

It's had it's flaws (bad promotion, lack of Live Feed, absolutely dire tasks, constructing a second house only to convert it into a task garden 2 weeks later etc), but the cast has been Channel 5's strongest. It's soured slightly towards the end with the producers trying to stir in the final week but it easily could've run for longer. They had the right idea with wanting a big change, and if they continue with that idea and seek to make more improvements then Channel 5 can turn civilian BB's fortunes around.
