Loving it too. 
Highly controversial opinion! Be warned!

I think this will be the best one on 5 - some really strong, intelligent characters who are mature and can hold their own - loving it OP.

I guess I could second that, although we've yet to see how Andrew spilling the beans so soon will affect the game. And I don't mind it when TV reveals glimpses of ill-planned amateurishness. It helps you remember that they're as flawed as the rest of us, behind all the gloss.
Like spending several thousand pounds on a wrap-around screen for the outdoor set, and just using it to show disorienting colours and shapes to people who are trying to navigate a curved staircase and find the door.
And Emma getting all flustered when they had their backs to the camera.
I actually said "Use your words, Emma" to the TV at that point. She does alright most of the time, so I'm not sure why people are saying she should be pensioned off. A more perfect presenter would be dull.

It would be hard for my view to be more different. I think the "Others" may be the worst group of HMs ever picked for BB. They are repellent rather than interesting. I don't think Hughie is subtle or shining. None of them seem multi-faceted in any good way.
They're basically this year's version of Marc and the ex-HMs last year.

Who do you see as the interesting characters, or the eye candy?
It's going good so far. Has the makings of an entertaining season.
The others are supposed to be quiet as not to let the main house know they're in the house. Cut to the others shouting as loud as they can over black people being aliens while the main house heard them had me rolling and rolling.

I'm enjoying it, yes it's nothing like BB first was it's a mess but I'm just finding it all hilarious
