Default why bb8 was the worst ever

the housemates were crap
the opening was dire
the target never got used
the house was ugly
secret rooms were left untouched
emily shudnt have gone

jonty, shannessa. karalouise and david were ridiculous
carole was too old.

big brothe 8 failed. if you disagree or agree, please state. but i believe it was a big pile of dog poop

I think all your points are valid couldnt agree more with you about shanessa,kara lousie etc.Worst thing bb ever did in any series and aggravated me so much.
However i still say bb4 was wayyyy worse than bb8.It did still have its interesting bits and i did keep watching til the end which i just couldnt bear to do after the 2nd week in bb4-i diddnt even watch the final!

I agree BB8 was dreadful. The start put me off it completely.

BB4 was crap as well, especially compared to BB3 the year before with Jade, Alex, PJ etc.

I liked BB8, but it would have been much better if there wasnt the all girls launch.

It could of been better i guess. But thats your opinion. I didn't like it because of the "Make up then break up" Keep happening in the house, there were too many showmances!

Ziggy and Chanelle.
Amy and Liam.
Amanda and Brian.

Another reason was the all girl launch. And all the "Copycat Twists" like the Halfway House!? I mean come on!? lol.

But on the other hand, in my opinion, it was not the worst series ever.

I found it good actually. Much better than BB7.

I think the girls launch was a great idea: different dynamic and bigger drama and God knows girls make much more drama about anything.
We had quite a few big characters and a good diversity of housemates.
We had amazing tasks such as the 7 deadly sins, travelling back in time...
It delivered one of the best twists on BB history: the fake week and the fake eviction brilliantly done by Charley.
It was a bit dull, younger and more innocent unlike BB7 which was just terrible IMO.

Completely agree with the OP (except for the target, it was clear from the beginning that it was just a part of the house design, and the house - it wasn't the best house ever but it certainly wasn't ugly).

BB8 was the most dire series of Big Brother that I've ever had the misfortune to watch - words cannot describe how bad it was.

The impact of that twist lasted about five minutes. The all-girl launch was a cheap gimmick and was one of the poorest excuses for a twist in BBUK history.

I think the twist was original, new and quite good to watch. That was different and apparently no one was ready for a bit of change.

For BB7, I know 99% of the British public loved it but I don't. No matter what the ratings say or if it was the producers favourite, for me BB7 was crap.
By crap I mean a bunch of lunatics, freaks and morons who act like 4 y-o children. We had everything but normal people except for 4-5 housemates. I felt sorry for them but I watched it because I thought it would be better, I was wrong.
The twists were terrible, the only decent one was the BigBrotherHood.
I don't even mention the most obvious winner of all and the Nikki favouritism and also the most fake housemate ever, Aisleyne.

It's not that we weren't ready for change, it's just that the all-female twist was pointless, crap and had little if not no impact on the house, especially considering it only lasted two days.

I'm not saying you have to like BB7, but to call it worse than BB8 is an insult really.

You said BB7 had housemates who were "a bunch of lunatics, freaks and morons who act like 4 y-o children." - as did BB8. Who could forget Sam and Amanda "OMG PINK PINK PINK PINK PINK!" Marchant and Brian "Who the hell is Shakespeare" Belo - if anything, BB8 had the bigger freaks who acted like 4 year old children.

The BB7 twists might have been terrible, but at least they were well executed. The House Next Door twist wins over the Halfway House hands down. None of the BB7 twists (except for the voting housemates back in twists at the end - that was pointless beyond belief) were gimmicks, unlike the much-mentioned BB8 all-females twist.

Credit where it's due however, Fake Week was a good idea. If it had been executed better - and if it wasn't just a blatant scam to save Charley - it could have been one of the best twists ever.

I don't even call the full female house a twist, it may have been pointless but it was a change the producers decided to make.

About the bunch, most of them acted pathetically and were truly ridiculous like Pete, Aisleyne, Nikki, Sam, Lea, Dawn and Shabbaz. I mean come on, don't tell me they were spectacular.
I'm not saying Brian wasn't dull, I don't like him at all and we both agree on that: he was terrible.
For the twins, I would say they were innocent and happy without acting like freaks and are far from being the wannabees that Aisleyne and Nikki are.

Except the BigBrotherHood who brought a lot of actions, all the others weren't good IMO even if I have to say they were kinda well executed as far as creativity wise is concerned.
The Halfway house wasn't a bad idea but it was featuring the wrong housemates same as the HND. The reason I don't like it is Aisleyne and most of the new housemates.

Finally about the Fake Week, it wasn't a fix or whatever, the producers had this plan for weeks in mind and didn't make it only for Charley, that's a fake reason not to like it.

Yes thats it! The reason the ENTIRE 13 weeks long series failed was because the target wasn't used! It's all so clear now!
