BB13 Really Was A Brilliant Series

.It's so underrated on here, it had a great cast (Caroline, Deana and Lydia in particular are pretty much the nearest Channel 5 has ever got to having Classic Housemates). The Insiders vs Ooutisders Dvivide made the B Block vs The Whisper Club Divide of Big Brother UK 9 seem weak and it had a lot going on - Benedict's preaching ad exit, Lydia's scheming, Deana beating Arron and Conor in an eviction, Shievonne's meltdown, Caroline sabotaging the Shopping List, Deana's taunting of Luke A "Golden Ticket Charlie!" and the Outsider Final Three. I honestly feel like it gets abuse for being a Channel 5 Series when it was about a thousand times better than anything BB8 onwards and easily the best Channel 5 Series.

Aaron, Dexter, Gina, Hazel?
It was an awful series let's be honest, possibly not helped by the vote to save rather than vote to evict. Any series which allows Conor to walk out with 50k isn't anywhere near brilliant. You've also listed Caroline sabotaging the shopping list; something Harry (and even Rex) did to much better effect.
I guess it's one saving grace is the fact that BB15 was actually worse.... by quite a fair way too
Aaron was awful, I liked Gina and thought she was entertaining but had too much of a nasty streak, Dexter was overrated, Hazel was good but nothing great.
I thought it was brilliant for entertainment personally, it's in my top 4 series along with Big Brother 5, Big Brother 6 and Big Brother 7.
A great format persistently wasted.
Yes I agree and I don't like big brother messing around with the prize at all.If bb wanted to give money within a task it should be extra not taken from the winner.
I don't think the crown as worst bb ever will ever be lost by bb15 and it would be a real tragedy if big brother ends this year because if it.
But then I was a Dexter fan from the start
also if the mentally unstable fat Chris and Lydia had stayed for longer, they both had the potential to be classic BB bellends
Dexter wasn't in BB13
He wasn't was he? Thanks for posting that, I thought my mind had gone the way of all things for a few moments there:D.
I did think BB13 had a really good final week. Everyone suddenly seemed to chill out and want to have fun. Both BB12 and BB15 had really dire final weeks, the first one full of bickering and sulks and the second one just the most appalling final line-up.
Though I'm not sure if that's a huge compliment to BB13, or just taking into account the flaws of BB12, BB14 and BB15.
I was being oblique. I meant what would I know about anything, after all I loved Dexter.
maybe the govenment should hand Ian Huntley a million pounds, it would be hysterical to see the the public frothing at the mouth?
I will share the sentiment that Conor's eviction does spoil proceedings, but I do feel that people sometimes place too much emphasis on that for their own good when deciding on their opinion of the series, almost as if they see support of 13 as an indicator of supporting Conor's behaviour. The thing was though is that a character like Conor can only get two kinds of ending to their story, the first is a humiliating downfall of Sezer levels, something which simply wasn't going to happen as he had a fan base on the outside keeping him in, and the second is what essentially happened; go out doing something so evil and scummy that no viewer would ever be able to forget or forgive him, and in my eyes stealing 50k from your best friend has to be up there in terms of BB.
