So I know we are only 10 days in but already I am really liking this series and for the first time I like the majority of the housemates. The show doesn't feel forced (at least to me) and I think the balance of housemates has meant the episodes have been entertaining but not as over the top/overly controversial like they usually are (again, I get people will disagree, but this is just how I feel about it)

I really like Courtney/Shane who has a good head on his shoulders and comes across as down to earth and rather humble. A great contrast to India who I think could learn quite a lot from Shane.

How are you guys liking it so far? Any crazy predictions?

I agree with everything you've said

Mainly I'm just hoping it continues in a similar way, India's possible eviction and the Ashley/Ginuwine showmance developing worries me a little but there's still so many great housemates in there I think it should be ok for the rest of its run.

I've really enjoyed It, I like that they're actually devoting time to the really interesting conversations they've been having both about their careers/backgrounds and about current affairs/serious issues. It's not been all about forcing confrontation and drama

I agree that Courtney/Shane is brilliant as well

Agree with the above posts. It's been so much better this time... Courtney/Shane is my winner.

I find Shane adorable. His opinions are perfect (they speak to me) and his delivery is so wonderful, I also find him really funny.

India's a great character that I hope stays but I'm unsurprised I'm the only person on the forum to be thinking that.

Overall I'm enjoying and embracing the different feel this series has. I didn't buy into the whole 'it's more serious this year' crap they were spewing on launch night, this is still Celebrity Big Brother, but I'm finding the discussions and conversations really interesting and enlightening. It helps that they largely revolve around my favourite topic (gender!) but I think it's been great and hopefully educational for a lot of viewers, hopefully it continues.

You'd be surprised at the amount that would agree with you on that.

Yeah such a great housemate!

Really enjoying him this far! Both as Shane and Courtney!

Thank you all for your great replies!

@Jack I agree India is a great housemate (in an antagonising way lol). Also I agree compared to the previous series this one does seem more fun while also exploring social topics. I think this might be the first time they have perfectly balanced this series.
