Ollie tbf isn't as bad as Sam and Liz I must admit...
Just stating my op btw, thanks for replying

Ch 5 split the edit far less than Ch 4 used to. I don't think it ever happened that someone up for eviction (Liz) was just cut from the highlights in the days when people were voting: they were always pretty careful to let everyone have a chance to shine. Ch 5 is much more ruthless: stay out of arguments, sex talk and romances and you are of no interest. Who has the faintest idea what the quieter housemates are doing with their time, unless they are mentioning Lee or Jim? We once got a five second clip of Ollie kind of prancing around doing a hip hop act, and hardly recognised him. How much of Ollie's time is THAT Ollie, rather than the silent and invisible Ollie? We will never know. BB gave Sam a task so she got some attention, but it was very much a class B task. There is no way on earth she was ever going to get the Jim role in the democracy task. It reminded me of the dull little task they gave Sophie in BB14.
Personally I am all in favour of quiet pleasures: I like to know who is laughing and joking, and what about; who is doing the chores and who is moaning; who is sleeping a lot and who is up all day chatting; that kind of thing. I would gladly trade every single second of Lee for some more footage of those who are rarely shown. What an energy sapping person he is to watch.

Just not a very likeable house. In a stronger line-up he wouldn't even be top 3.
