Does anyone think it has been one of the poorest series in years? I haven't been gripped this year..

without a doubt the poorest and yet I still watch it - WHY??

Not at all. There have been at least 7 other CBB series that i think are worse than this.

Second only to the Luisa one in c5 era and it's pushing that close.

The three in between Gary busey only just ahead of the first one on c5 for being rubbish

The Perez thing was tedious, the one previous to this was pretty poor as well

I think it's been great. I've loved that I ended up really disliking someone I thought I'd love - John. I got annoyed with Angie, but loved the fact she was like the wacky auntie you try and hide from the neighbours. I've really warmed to Danniella and Darren when I thought I wouldn't. Scotty T is a man wh*re, but I love the little 5 year old that apparently lives inside him. David Gest was great, as was Christopher. Stephanie and Jeremy are a 2 car pile up on the A1 and who doesn't like alittle rubbernecking? Gemma is Gemma and she ain't changing for a thing.

I'm really enjoying this series...

I think it's been brilliant.

I think it's been a brilliant series. Also there's been much like manipulation from producers this series which is noticeable as the housemates have carried the series. It's a classic for sure

Its because BB as been taken over by the Essex school of acting and the after show with Clarke is the same people from Essex in the audience on the panel from Essex if you want to get on TV go and live in Essex thats why most of TV is now poor Collins as already said Towie is scripted and that is rubbish even with a script This Morning is also going the same route Essex people all the time Clarke is now taking over from is friend Holmes on This Morning we he be as camp on there or will he show is Essex acting skills

If there is ever another BB why not do in the North of England

Imo you've been smoking crack.

What you been watching.

Awful, another series of manipulation and fixing.

I don't agree there's been a lot of manipulation this year - most of the main drama has come from the housemates themselves, without producer interference. "David’s dead" gate was entirely natural and non-contrived. I think it's been one of the best, if not the best, CBBs ever.

The only downside has been Gemma.

I haven't been an avid BB or CBB watcher, just the odd series here & there but, despite me not knowing who many of them were (knew David, Angie, Nancy, Kristina, Darren & Daniella) having never watched TOWIE, Geordie Shore, Ex on the Beach & so on but I haven't missed a single epi of this series. So, for me, not its not the worst by a long chalk.

Made poor because of the vote manipulation

I don't think it's the worst but this series has been very 'Extra! Extra! Read all about it!'
It's basically a bunch of tabloid stories one after the other. Not a great one for getting to know the housemates. I don't feel like I've learnt much about any of them, it's completely separate from reality.
It's been entertaining though.

This has been an awful series and I really don't care who wins!

Mixed opinions it's fair to say.

Actually, apart from the obvious bias towards Gemma and letting her get away with everything I think it's been a fantastic series. The 'David's dead' episode will go down as comedy gold.

I've really enjoyed it.

Lots of meddling and manipulation but I've just accepted it now and watch it for what it is. It's had a good bunch of housemates IMO.

I'm quite enjoying this series some episodes have been really entertaining but it's got worse since Gillian McKeith came in but definitely this series is much better than the series a few months ago that was terrible.
