Generally I like to see some conflict early on, but to have some resolution of that towards the end of a series. BB9 certainly had that, with the Whisper club going from being confident, to slow realisation that the public simply didn't like them.

Even Deana, who seemed to revel in having the upper hand in the final week or so, stopped teasing Luke S and started singing his praises to a gobsmacked Luke and Adam.

Hmm. I don't think the Whisper Club was very confident, though perhaps some individual HMs in it were? It was more B-Block, especially Kat, that seemed over-confident.
Re the insiders / outsiders in bb13, there always seemed to be an over-estimation of how large and united a group the 'insiders' were, and an over-estimation of how influential certain individual 'insider' HMs such as Caroline were.
But if there is a divide, I suppose it can be better if it takes the whole series for things to be resolved, rather than having one side wiped out via twists and questionable punishment decisions as in bb7.
