Does anyone else feel like this?”
Hate to say it but I agree. There is just no humour this time. I mean, we had fight night last year but we had already had time to get to know the housemates and it was just a culmination of things that had happened previously so it really worked and made shocking, dramatic TV. Who can forget how funny it was when Emma and Michelle left the hidden room and hid under the table. And how gripping it then became as the game players realised their plans had been scuppered ?
This time they have been at each others throats from the start and there doesn't seem to be any reason for it. Half the time I'm not sure what they are fighting about. Like, for instance, Derek started crying on last nights highlights but I wasn't sure why. It just seems unbalanced like they've cut loads out.
I feel its a combination of bad editing & a group of people who all seem to have at least one major personality defect along with a shared mentality that humour comes out of bitching. At least last year you had Nadia's struggle to balance her temper, Victors hilarious rants to balance his manipulation etc etc.
Early days but so far there is no one in the house I really like (even Kemal has worn off me). Usually there's a couple I like, a couple I don't like, and the rest I haven't seen enough of to form an opinion on. There's only 1 housemate this time who I haven't formed an opinion on and that's Vanessa who has had about 2 minutes screen time. She might actually win by being the only one who isn't hated by the end of this.
