I agree. I always find the celebs more guarded and media savvy which imho makes them less interesting. Plus this year's lot were dreadful in the extreme. So many of them had nothing to say about anything. My fav celeb series was the one with Pete Burns in - he is a horrible man at times with a nasty mouth on him (and I don't just mean his plastic surgery) but I am ashamed to say that about 75% of the time he makes me laugh.
the normal BB though for me has always been the better option. this year's has been a classic imho - largely due to Aaron it has to be said, but even then there were other interesting and larger than life characters. Its a shame that the powers that be didn't make a better job of things because the series could have been even better imho with a little more balance.
I think the vote to save worked, although next time they need a minimum of three up. I am glad Jay and aaron were the final two. the opposite ends of the house, both the leaders of their own "pack"s and although they are both very different with the way they deal with things they were both very alike in that they were willing to put themselves out there and get right off that fence. For me they were the two HMs who gave us everything of themselves this year and even though there are many things about Jay I don't like I give him credit for that. no other two deserved to be the final two imho.
