I thoroughly enjoyed this series of CBB and I think there is one main reason for that. I stayed off DS, I stayed off the bookies sites and I ignored any polls. Not knowing who was popular or what was going to happen was an absolute joy. It was like watching a different show. I highly recommend it!

Sorry , I differ. I have mostly watched this series, like you, on it's own, without the additions of commentary or this forum. I have found it tedious and the winner predictable. I found it worrying, when I did come on here, to find that James was popular.
For me, his repetitious use of words or phrases exposed him as fake from the off set - the similar worn-out phrases used in his winner interviews are painstakingly obvious.....cheese, cringe etc...

I agree with Carnoch 04 Many weeks ago I OPd a thread saying this was the best ch5 CBB to date, ...............


......... but only 10% agreed


most preferring "its the Perez show, its the Perez show "

I have enjoyed the series I almost abandoned it after the first week though. I hated the theme and the constant rowing in week one. I am glad I stuck it out though..

For me the show without the forum would be pointless though. The show is so lacking in content now that it is only observing the reactions of other watchers that makes it interesting.

I think this has been the dullest lineup of contestants in a CBB final by some margin.

I'm sorry I didn't follow your lead. It was basically Team UK HQ on here. Horrendous stuff. No wonder the forum is practically dead when dissent is swallowed with snide disdain and group-think.

Did you not see CBB7 or CBB2? That was far FAR worse
