For me I would have to say it's the best of all the channel 5 series. And probably the best since bb 9 for me .

Can't rank it yet. If Jackson wins, it's ruined.

If anyone but Jason wins, it won't be what it could have been.

I'd have to agree with you..........it's right up there, despite the fiasco of the other house, & the 'others' having to fight for their place in the main house (NOT).
I suspect it hasn't worked out the way the producers wanted it to do, hence their finishing it inexplicably 2 weeks early! Total madness.

Good so far, but the winner will make or break it. If Jason or Andy win it will be one the better seasons, anyone else will ruin it, so I am accepting a crap winner so will say it was a okay season.

Its already far better than BB12, BB15 and BB16.


Still need to wait on a winner before I say its better than BB14 or BB13.

Disjointed frustrating and muddled giving no continuous time to get to know the HMs from the start with no BB interference and gimmicks.

Out of the five I've watched on Ch5 it's the third best...no that's not right, 'least worst'...but only because the two Helen Wood shows happened.

BB16 had great potential as the best ever on CH5 until '4 in, 4 out'. I really enjoyed BB14 and Aaron (winner)'s series was decent.

Depends on the winner as it could make it one of the worst ever like the Helen series.

I think its been the worst ever, fed up of them bringing in people who have been on tv already, getting word and people in from outside and its been hard to actually pick a fav this year

Average, was getting good last week, but now it's nearly over and being wrapped up with all the outside info tasks.
Annoying first couple of weeks with the split house, then started to get going then went boring.

4th best on Channel 5. 3rd worst of all time.

Hardly any live feed, too much manipulation ( again ), too much outside info ( again ) and the series has been shortened. 50 days ? that isn't a proper BB series, it makes me wonder what the point is anymore.

BB12
BB17
BB16
BB14
BB15
BB13

I would say it is just behind BB14 in terms of the channel 5 series. I have really enjoyed it and it's such a massive improvement on the past few series. I'ts such a shame it has been cut short

Thoroughly enjoyed this series so far. Last two were ruined by that awful Helen.

Yep, and Bib sums up where I'd place it as well

It was so very very bad it was genius - for a bit. But that's worn off now and/or they've even messed that up!


Ooh you might not enjoy tomorrow night's 'surprise visitor'

Right now out of C5 series..

BB13
BB14
BB17
BB12
BB16
BB15

There's a chance it'll surpass 14 though. It just needs a good final shopping task and a non awful winner

I can't even remember when Channel 5 took over, I am such a useless fan. I just preferred last year to this year, definitely.

It was after BB10 and then Ultimate Big Brother where they literally buried BB in the garden. How can a fan not know that?

One of the worst above that boring one and the 1st which was boring too.
It's not bb .none are worth bothering with, everyone is acting in there.
Who wins err who cares . Who was in it who will even remember .

I watched a bit of the Dexter one the other day oh wow what a difference .now that was a great bb . And wasn't just all fame hounds .

Out of the 3 ones I've watched:

BB14
BB13
BB17

Dexter? The biggest fame hound in BB history!

best summer ever i have enjoyed my time not watching any of it. keep it up ch5.

That person said the series wasn't JUST full of fame hound HM's.

For me BB12 is still the best CH5 series. This one has definitely been better than 15&16, and probably marginally better than 13&14. The main strength of this series has been the shorter duration. It's still a largely unlikeable cast though, and has been throughout.

the best was BB5 (BB6 was the first of the obviously structured & talent agency cast)... then bb got boring on c4

the best c5 was secrets & lies... powertrip stumbled on it's gimmick... but all since (not before) secrets & lies have been watchable...

it has been fine

it is 17 in... the show has to be "the same but different" , some DS posters want it to be natural and not dull, but they want things to happen every day, it has to be "normal people but doing things" which makes it an impossible circle to square. some seem to want to watch random people sitting on a commuter bus going home from work, or sitting in the reference library or even as animated as sitting around the pool on holiday & think it would be fun every day to watch them... that would make 1 series.. it would never be watched the next year or the year after, let alone 17...

bb like coach trip, like come dine with me, like the rest needed to evolve... it needed to stay with the "fashion" eg demand to watch love island / love on the beach, and it needed to accept most people applying to be on a tv show - be it coach trip or pointless do so with a "character" they wish to play to get on the show (and perhaps make a career by being "seen" - there is no escaping that...

bb is what it has to be. no tv is ever ad hoc, no tv series after the first one is "un-tuned"

it has been fun.
