I can't believe this is the same show I used to love :( When did they put drama and romances etc above it being a social experiment :/

I wouldn't mind as much if the "normal" way had started flopping and they go to this to get a new demographic, but they can see that focusing on romance and sex and making it like a scripted Viacom show is killing the format, but they don't care and carry on. BB in America has had nearly 20 seasons and they've gone virtually unchanged, Australia changed channels and didn't really change the feel much, but this country has just completely butchered it. It's unrecognisable from the show it used to be, even if you just compare it to say Secrets & Lies or even Timebomb :/

 

But honestly they deserve the ratings to bomb, they legit must be actively ignoring comments or have Stevie Wonder running their social media accounts... As has been said, it's all you see when they reveal a task or something and it's definitely all I've seen for these newbies, but they do not listen and put these lot in anyway and I'm sure in 3 days time one of the "ladz" will have a romance storyline with whichever girl they put in which will diminish the airtime of those the viewers actually give a shit about even further.

Liam makes a really good point about BB US - season 1 aside where it was a totally different show (much more like the UK edition), it's barely changed at all and that's why it's successful. The casting speaks for itself, as we normally get a range of characters and ages, from different areas of the US. Channel 5 need to work on the casting - this is where most of the problems lie. I want a varied cast, with interesting people who auditioned of their own accord rather than those scouted for manufactured drama.

Moved to spoiler thread just in case people don't want to see but at this point I doubt enough people care about he show enough to avoid spoilers rofl:

Sam knows Isabelle as well :drama:

 

My prediction is that Savannah will end up slaying but not get picked to stay.

I mean, I HATE bitching and moaning ALL the time about this show because I've literally watched it since Big Brother 2, so its been a part of my life for 17 years, and I love the show, but I just detest what it has become. And what's so frustrating is Channel 5 are MORE than capable of putting on a good BB. It's only the last 3 series which have been dreadful :/

I totally get you, I am exactly the same tbf :/ So many years and they're constantly slapping us in the face by turning it into the total oppsite of what we want :( Pre-exiting connections between the housemates are one of my worst things, having the odd couple go in like Mario & Lisa or when Charlie went in with Jackie, but when they put housemates IN later because of their connections, I hate.
Savannah seems like the only remotely decent one and she hates Tom which is a plus. Hoping she can go in.

Hannah, Isabelle, Lotan and Tom facing eviction.

 

 

I think if it's still vote to save it'll be between Hannah and Tom.

Would have thought more would have been up (Joe, Chanelle, Raph) but very happy.

But yeah, surely Isabelle or Hannah will go. Honestly, I hope Isabelle stays.

I really want to have SOME faith. I haven't seen ONE positive comment for Lotan in all of this.

I might actually vote this time around. Isabelle needs to stay, it will be such an injustice if either her or Hannah go, considering what the popular people have tried to put them through. Both strong, iconic women.

 

I hope it's the Arron/Connor/Becky/Deana moment of the series where Hannah and Isabelle are announced as being safe. Their reactions would be hilarious.
