looking at the list of "who is going into the jungle" i think CBB had a better line up of people in both the winter and summer CBB series.

the pool of people willing to go on "celeb task shows" have a lot of shows vying for their appearance and C5 seem to be punching above their weight & selecting good mixes.

The celeb series always work better than the civilian, ones for whatever reason. Mainly I think because of the varying age differences between the HM's.

IAC just works, there's no pretences with the mix of people who all seem to gel. They leave their egos outside the jungle, & they're all on an equal playing field.
Yes you get the odd one who 'plays up', that however is soon rectified when hunger kicks in.

I'm not so sure it would work if there was a civilian series though. However as our civilian series is a yawn fest nowadays with all the vacuous fake tanned whitened teeth specimens (where image is the be all & end all), it wouldn't make a lot of difference.

IAC must have blown all their cash on the presenters. Very poor lineup.

But IAC will probably be a much more entertaining and less hateful show.

IAC always have worse lineups.

Agreed.

You would think that an ITV programme would be able to secure a stronger cast than a Channel five production, but I guess that isn't the case for some reason.

I think Big Brother has more variety to it than IAC

There's really only so many times you can watch eating challenges and endurance tests. The real problem with the show is you don't get a chance to hear a lot of the conversations because the show is 100% task orientated.

In the end, when the show is over, I feel like I haven't really found out anything about the contestants.

I prefer IAC - there is far more laughter and much less hate. I like to be entertained not watch some schoolyard brawls like we often get in BB

Indeed so! The 'inmates' (in the main), seem to gel & support each other with none of the bitching & engineered 'fights'. I want to be entertained when I watch tv & even if that means I'm laughing at the hapless lot, so be it!

Ferne McCann and Vicky Pattison are big names for the audience bb wants.

That's why I would be surprised if they keep with the unknown Americans script

I always know more people who do CBB than I do IAC. I think its because more high profile people are more willing to do CBB because lets face it, its getting paid to sit in a house for a month, do one task everyday and bitch about each other. IAC requires more work and effort.

I don't because I can't remember IMACGMOOH having so many arguments. 2015 was the very worst CBB!

Difference being IAC is actually entertaining as opposed to petty bitching dressed up as entertainment.

C5 don't put enough effort into CBBUK, this us the bottom line of it all. Even frow and Smith who are meant to care for the show act like they're not bothered at all.

Agreed.

Although i don't like IAC at all, i do agree that there is far less hate involved. I do wish Big Brother would be more like that at times. Seeing so many arguments is so draining.

I do wish there was parts of the show that BB wasn't trying to copy though. I hate the eating tasks that have happen so often now on BB, if i want those tasks i'll watch IAC.
