Default What this series is doing excellently

This might be a weird praise, but I love that every housemate gets a decent amount of airtime in pretty much every episode. Some of my biggest complaints from many series' on C4 and C5 was that the highlights were dominated by a select few, but thats not happening this time round.. not sure if that was a deliberate move from production, but its great.

Anything else you like from this series?

I like that up until now (and even now it's not as drastic as they have done in previous years), they haven't panicked at the first rating under a million and chucked half the cast out and replaced them. They've tried to ride it out and even now they've only added more housemates - not evicted people unnecessarily before their time. I know we're heading for a mass eviction but it'll be to get numbers down - not to improve ratings and I have faith they'll pull a VTS whole house up to get out the bores.

what i liked about this series, that there were some normal people in it for me to relate to them

but normal people are maybe just too boring the regular BB crowd, who want entertaining hm's like Chanelle, Isabelle who aren't normal but just fake actresses


Charlotte is for example my number 1 and nothing can take that away from me

Yes, and I think BB17 is the best example for it. Every housemate had some kind of storyline, no one went under the radar (except maybe Sam).
That's the strength of a good series.

Yet other posters are complaining about Chanelle & Ellie getting most of the HL time, at least as far as with Diary Room clips.

e.g. Chanelle having a crap last night. That was a highlight?

Theres still a scale of most airtime (Chanelle, Tom) to least airtime (Charlotte, Raph) but everyone is shown in pretty much every episode which I really like.

*looks for Charlotte...*

No but I do agree, and I think this ties in with what I said yesterday about the cast actually being quite good and giving us so many housemates to like / support etc
