Yes I know I don't have to watch it but I will see it through now.

Only wish I had packed it in after the first night because its been rather horrible, nasty and only a few rare moments have actually entertained me.

Anyone else share my pain?

Yes indeed.

Like you, I could switch off. But, I started now I'll finish.

Not really enjoyed this CBB at all.

It's too addictive. The secret is don't start watching at all. I did it for a year, fell off the wagon and I'm finished completely after this. It's got far worse than it ever was now.

I think this year's series has been very entertaining, especially when Perez has been mouthing off to Hopkins.

Thanks BS.

It really has been hard going and that's watching it recorded and using the f/f button.

I gave up on regular BB ages ago and I may well give up on CBB after this experience.

It's mostly been overdramatic attention seeking & liking the sound of their own voice too much.

It's been very one-dimensional. I've happily missed episodes and not even bothered to catch up as I haven't felt like I've missed anything.
The problem with vote to save is that the stars of the show remain the same throughout and if you don't like them then you're screwed.

The only reason I'll continue watching is the hope that Hopkins doesn't win.

Far to much drama and not enough fun, the BB producers are to blame for this.
Every task they have done has been to cause conflict.
BB used to be all fun with the occasional arguments and now it's done a about turn, for the worse in my opinion.

I gave up on regular BB for a few years then decided to watch last year when Helen won. I'm still traumatised over that if I'm honest. Stephen Goode and Co..........ugh!!!

I usually enjoy CBB warts and all and whilst like you, I have had a few titters now and again Katie H is all I thought she'd be. Keith is a little star imo and don't get me started on some of the others.

As much as I think Perez is a total nutcase and in an ideal world I should dislike him (and I did at the start), I do have to confess the nuttier he goes the more I would like him to win, simply to give a metaphoric 'up yours' to Katie H.

It's a sad state of affairs when, aside from Keith, who I think does deserve to win, even though he hasn't been 'up there' as much as I thought he would be that the only other option for me, would be Perez winning.

I can't believe I'm even thinking that way. But someone has to win and I can't see any of the others worthy of it. Even though Perez has acted 'different' (I'll be kind there) at least he has made the show, even if for all the wrong reasons.

Funny old world isn't it.

I think you're spot on, especially the BiB.

I don't really care who wins as I dislike all of them except for Calum and he definitely won't so there won't even be the consolation of 'at least X didn't win' because whoever did will be just as bad.

To be honest I'm glad Perez is in the house as he is treating the show with the contempt it deserves.

I will usually watch any old celebrity reality cr&p that's on but I've totally lost interest in this.
I find all the fighting unpleasant and just boring frankly.

Why set it up so all it shows is the most horrible and dark sides of people. How is that good for the human race? Can't the producers at least try to put something positive into this world. There's enough depressing stuff in the world without creating this load of negative nonsense.

Still like to come and have a butchers at this forum now and again to see if by some miracle it has changed.

Usually enjoy CBB more than the summer version but this one for me has lacked humour, laughs and the tasks have been pathetic. I guess with all the sniping, baiting and ultimately pointless arguing the producers didn't need tasks to fill in their 45 min show.

I've stuck with it although I haven't watched all episodes as I normally do. The atmosphere in there is toxic even watching it on TV so God help the hms. The only thing that could redeem this CBB for me would be that neither Hopkins nor Perez win. Hopkins so thinks she's got this in the bag since she heard cheers. I actually dislike her more than Perez - he irritates me but I find her offensive.

Only watched bits and the eviction shows but agree its garbage this time, spoilt by perez but i have faith that the decent British public wont condone his behaviour and wont vote for him to win. Not surprised that ofcom have had over 2000 complaints

Why are so many posts about Perez being deleted??????? It seems to be just the anti-Perez ones.

Do DS mods love him or something?

I doubt it's because the mods love him. Probably due to some posts being 'not so nice' regarding forum members I would hazard a guess, rather than Perez?

It's gone on too long, especially with 10,000 BC being squeezed into the CBB schedules - too much "reality" in one evening.

Agreed.

Still, I don't watch a lot else on TV and it's not exactly the busy season. It doesn't clash with Charlie Brooker.

A whole series without watching BOTS! Yay me!

If they are breaking the rules then they will get deleted. Same with "unconstructive" posts about any housemate.

It has been the most charmless CBB I've ever watched.

The only thing that will (ever so slightly) redeem it for me is if Keith wins. Not because I think he's a worthy CBB winner - he's done little that could be described as entertaining on what's supposed to be first and foremost an entertainment show - but in that company of freaks, misfits, manipulators and desperate attention-seekers, he's the only one that emerges from that house with basic human decency and his dignity intact.

Agree.
The Perez Show has been horrendous.

Its nearly as toxic 'here' as 'there'.

I stopped watching on Monday and deleted the season pass on my Freeview box. Sick to death of the same old arguments.

Is this 10000 BC thing worth a go? I prefer real people on these shows, especially if they aren't all media-trained.

I have lost a lot of interest in the show. Started out amused but the show hasnt really gone anywhere. Same old arguements and bickering that now is just boring and annoying.
Agree its been very one dimensional this year with the only real storyline being the argueing between Katie H and co and Perez.

Even these last few days are looking increasingly predictable with Calum and Kav set to go tonight (if the polls are right) and a Katie H victory on Friday. Quite dissappointed really though it started off with promise but I missed last night and have had no no inclination to rush to catch up. Did I miss anyuthing new? Thought not
