I don't watch much TV or peruse the tittle-tattle media, but I do watch BB when I can.

Until today, I didn't know this series had even started, when I happened to look in the TV page of the metro and there it was..I thought it was starting sometime in early June.

So my question is, should I bother becoming involved with this series or should I consider this to be a lucky escape?

I know that had I watched from launch then I would be watching until the end however crap it is..but at this stage I could walk away..

Do you know what I think? I think some people are going to say yes and some people are going to say no.

I think you should start tonight. Not a big amount has happened but the tension is bubbling on the surface.

What do you say Dog?

Loads of folk seem to be saying they are big big brothers and didn't know it had started.

All big fans of the show know when it started

A lot of people on here are saying it's really boring but I'm in the minority and am really enjoying it. It depends what sort of vibe you like. If you enjoy seeing loads of crazy housemates who scream and shout and argue with each other then I'd avoid it.

This year the housemates are more 'normal' and are getting on with each other, no cliques or bullies (yet!). There's been one argument over eggs but that's about it. It's a nice change watching them all getting on as a group.

LOL how did you not know it was on

No idea mate, don't know you or what you like.

If you want to list a few examples of what you want from a BB series then I'll happily tell you whether or not this year has ticked your boxes so far.

I do watch a fair bit of Channel 5 and I didn't know it was on until I spotted it in the TV listings on Day 3. I've been watching since then and I've managed to miss all the introductions and the 'getting to know you' rubbish and I've really enjoyed the series so far. I think this series will get better over time when a few of the more annoying housemates have been evicted.
