Today's Saturday debate for you

I think this series had a strong start with storage vs the house, the Ali-Khaled feud, some of the early tasks like the politician one, the first HoH, Lily's antics etc. There were also some good eviction results like Izaaz going.

I feel like it's dropped off some way in the last week or two though. Dean's meltdown kept it a bit interesting but HoH really became too repetitive after Dean and Ali, the tasks haven't lived up to their potential, the showmance has ruined two otherwise good housemates and generally the pacing has felt off. There's been so much interference with the nomination process that we have only had normal noms twice and we haven't had a single eviction where nominations were not messed with because of the HoH powers

I also think a lot of the housemates have fizzled out a bit. We haven't seen much growth in a lot of them and honestly they've all pretty much behaved as I'd have expected from launch night. The great thing for me last year was that a lot of housemates went on a real journey and Jordan, Henry, Yinrun, Noky and Olivia all had major ups and downs in there. Can you say the same for Segun, Thomas, Emma, Nathan, BP, Hanah? You could maybe say it for Sarah, Ali and Marcello

Also thinking back to last year so much happened in the final two weeks. We had:

- Paul/Dylan double eviction
- Chanelle, Jenkin and Tom having a meltdown over it
- Olivia starting to question her allegiances
- Jenkin being a wanker on his birthday
- Chanelle losing immunity due to a rule break and ending up evicted
- Trish being evicted after the whole crowd was chanting 'Trish for the win'
- Jenkin, Jordan and Tom in the secret room
- Jenkin and Tom double eviction
- Matty's iconic eviction

All leaving us with a brilliant final 5. Expect there's a lot that I missed there as well. This series doesn't feel on the same level at all imo and I fear we're in for a rather dull final week.
