I have to say, I wasn't terribly enamoured by any of the HM's for the first few weeks and didn't like the production team's 4 in 4 out trick *at all* but when Marc was evicted and the whole "legend" thing started: well...the reintroduction of Helen Wood just about killed it for me. (I can't stand the way she is.)

But I thought to myself, I wouldn't be a proper BB fan without giving them all a fair go so I can't let that awful woman colour my entire 2015 BB viewing experience. Her unpleasantness very nearly did cause me to abandon the whole thing and I don't really know why I persevered - maybe I just wanted to see her defeated... Anyway, I continued to watch and I'm pleased I did!

The last couple of weeks have had echoes of the original BB for me. Leaving aside the production team's efforts to set the HM's against one another with the various cash bomb dilemmas, it's had the subtle qualities of relationship building, personal growth and *fun* that I vaguely remember from the old days. I ended up really quite enjoying it.

Weird, huh.

Very weird.

The last couple of weeks were dreadful.

It greatly improved once Marc had gone.

LOL it greatly dropped out once Marc had gone, the vibe was miserable and boring for the last two weeks.

Agree with the OP.

I really enjoyed the 'proper' camaraderie at the end - we've not had anything like it for a while.

A lot of the meddling was positively horrendous and I too almost gave up - all's well that end well - even though Cristian didn't win. (At least it wasn't Joel that was crowned winner).
