Awful.
Terrible winner
Can't go into any more details than that as I'd "spoil" it for you
Do some painting and watch that.
The beginning twist was crap and then it got worse from there.
The majority of the interesting HM left early, whilst the likes of Carole and Tracey stayed FOREVER. The whole austrailian thing was a complete misfire too.
The series was just bad - and a serious let down after BB7
Yeah, everything screamed producers panicking with what to do with the show now after the Shilpa fiasco.
The series was clueless from start to finish.
Days 59-66 was probably the worst week ever in BB history. We lose THE only two remaining characters of the show in the space of two days, the house is joined by a gaggle of unlikeable new housemates, BB's halfway-house "task" is made up as it goes along resulting in the unfair eviction of two new housemates who nobody knows or cares well enough about, and who had already earned their right to be in the house but had it taken away from them at the last minute.
Dreadful.
The beginning is dominated by the constant loud droning from Charley as she argues with anyone and everyone over everything. Be prepared to have a headache for the entirety of the first half.
And, for all the rest of it, you have fun-sponge Carole either shouting or crying at anyone who tries to enjoy themselves in any way whatsoever until they stop.
Watching Ziggy mooching about the garden in a hoodie sighing deeply for a couple of weeks was probably the thing that was the most consistently entertaining. Which should tell you something.
You can also play along with a fun game, if you like. One of the housemates from that year is incredibly obnoxious on twitter and believes him/herself to be one of the most famous and successful people ever to have been on the programme. See if you can guess which one it is.
Best bit about BB8 was having LF coupled with the forums so much hope and expectation was pinned on STFU Carole being found out for being a massive control freak and game player not the kindly mother figure who only had her "boys" best interest at heart, if you were a young female she was evil. Biggest ever emotional blackmailer in BB history IMO.
And don't get me started on Tracy, Charlie and Belo!
Oh and the sagas of Chiggy!
Yeah, BB8 gets a lot of flack, but I don't think it was THAT bad! It was a little safe compared to BB6 and 7 because it was the first series after the CBB race row with Jade and all. There are some great characters though, like Charley, and Chanelle, and Jerry, Brian (to an extent), Laura, Samanda. Some fun tasks like the Sleep deprivation (I wish they did endurance more often in BB) and the Birthday party task.
But... In my rewatching of BB, I reckon I'll be skipping BB8. I really could not stand Tracey, Nicky, Ziggy, or Lesley.
It went down hill when Lesley went - she was a class HM - Seany was a complete bellend and if it wasn't for him messing about with her bed she possibly would've stayed a bit longer.
Fantastic moment when he says sorry and she just says 'You're not in the least bit sorry.' Before carrying on packing. Poor cow was out of her depth, but her one liners were by far the best part of BB8
Sorry, I meant to type Carole but was thinking of writing something positive about Lesley! D'oh! Lesley was lovely! I'd have included her in the big characters if she was there longer!
Seany made me embarrassed to be Irish, even though he is from Northern Ireland and I'm in the Republic! He was just dire. I can't watch him pushing Charley in the pool because that was so wreckless, I just picture her wholloping herself against the edge of the decking.
I think this was easily the trashiest and most fame-seeking house ever.
I just remember Chanelle being reunited with Ziggy in some obvious and lame twist after she'd been evicted, and the first thing she said to him was "my manager wants to sign you". :rolleyes:
billi, i haven't seen BB8, but omg he has a big head i'm telling you
