2 because there are not really many stand-out characters, and it all focused on the Helen-Paul storyline most of the time...nothing much really happens basically.

7 because most of its cast is actually really bad, and there was too much going on, plus the twists, especially “The House Next Door” which brought in like 4 new housemates did nothing to impact the series...and were executed quite badly...

I know there're more than a few haters of it but 10 has an overall warm status on here... and it just dragged for me and had no real likeable personalities. I even preferred 11.

BB11 is a bit over hated I feel personally anyway.

Although I do feel that it suffered with the whole JJJ fans forcing their will onto everybody else during evictions.

BB14, other than Gina I just found it uneventful. Literally the biggest storyline of the series was the awful Dexter/Charley showmance

BB7 because nearly all of the big characters got voted off within the first half of the series, and the show got invaded by newcomers.

I also never got the love for BB9 either as the evictions were dull as **** as anybody that wasn't in B-Block just got voted home all because they was associated with Dennis.

CBB3. It gets hailed as a classic series whenever brought up, but without John and Jackie, it's pretty awful, which is proven by the last 6 days without John or Jackie. The other popular housemates of that series like Brigitte, Lisa and Caprice had their most notable importance when bouncing off John or Jackie as well so without those two prime characters the series drops into being really dull at the drop of the hat. Really the only highlight once John leaves is Kenzie being dressed up as Humpty Dumpty. And don't even get me started on the amount of screentime Bez and Jeremy Edwards get

CBB16 and CBB19 are also both fairly popular series for the similar reasons of having big characters but when I look at closer inspection both series have way too many dull housemates that I struggle to care about. Most people remember CBB16 mainly for the Americans and most remember CBB19 for the Nicola vs Kim and Jedward feud.

A lot of people seem to prefer BB7 back when Grace was operating things but I personally found the first four weeks either pretty repetitive or sometimes overbearingly nasty. And when the more risque personalities like Shahbaz, Sezer and Grace left, I'm one of the few who actually preferred it after that since the housemates shown their personalities off more. For example, Nikki was just another one of Grace's allies when she was in the house but when Grace left, Nikki became a much more independent and therefore well-remembered housemate.

I don't know if I would call it popular, but like Shaun said I definitely like 10 significantly less than most people here do. The first half was sooooooo boring and slow and a C4 franchise low, and while the second half did get better it was just a little too little too late.

As for CBB, easily 15 oh my god. Between the whole Katie Hopkins thing and the whole Perez thing and even the whole Ken thing, it was just soooooooo suffocating and the house was full of so many terrible, odious people, none of whom I cared about whatsoever. Pricey winning is THE only redeeming factor.

Series 11

I hated John James and Josie. Corin going before the final left me with nobody to root for so I switched off.

I didn't include 14 because I don't perceive it to be popular but yeah that was a crap series, too.

BB5. Just didn't find it entertaining or engaging enough for the most part, nor did I have anybody to root for, especially after Fight Night.
