Watching it again, it really wasn't that bad, the housemates were not the best and the twist at the beginning sort of ruined it, but it was really good mid-season.

It did have its good points, but its easily the worst of the bunch. It also has BB10 following it which I rate as 2nd or 3rd best series overall, so its really hard to say. I think its main problem was predictible gameplay. Watching Adam/Ryan's alliance pick off the other so easily is just dull dull dull. From the moment Chelsia left, you knew Josh, James and Sharon were next - the only interesting thing was to watch that pillock win all the vetos. Mind you, Natalie's exit is rather fun to watch.

OH
And one thing I didnt like is how Sharon got conned out of HoH the week she left. Guinea pigs? FFS like!

Hmm, I still maintain that it was awful. The housemates were just horrible people, all of them, they weren't people I wanted to tune in to see. But even when that happens you usually have some game play to keep you interested, but BB9 lacked that too.

In terms of tension and arguments, it delivered on that point, there was always shit going down on the live feed, but that isn't what I watch BBUSA for.

Thankfully BB10 made up for that mess, although also had its fair share of problems. I'm hoping for BB11 to be an epic series because we haven't had a really BIG season for a while.

I would argue that it was the weakest series and had by far the most undeserving winner of the bunch. Adam was an awful player and an awful personality!

BB9 was rubbish because it was full of people who wanted to fight for camera-time rather than fight to win the game.

It was a weird series because there was pretty much no strategy.

Awful series.
Its bad enough that the HMs were not likeable but the fact none of them seemed to have a clue how to play strategy made it an even duller series.

I agree BB10 made up for it though.
I hope they never have another winter series because it all felt rushed and as if no one including the producers and the house guests cared about the show.

IMO, BB9 was a pretty enjoyable series. Despite having useless gameplay from most of them, the stupid pairs twist, the put James back in even though he left 5 minutes ago twist and mostly all horrible people, I liked it for the drama side of the season.

I still maintain that BB5 is the worst. BB5 had great potential but just lost it. I suppose it was because I knew who was going to be in the final that I didn't want to watch the inevitable awful conclusion. I had kinda faded out once the twins started going and then fully once Karen had left.

I liked BB5, but I agree, when you know who the final 2 are, the whole thing just basically becomes pointless. I ended up watching it just because I wanted to see how Diane's strategy played out. And that made it even worse watching her get evicted at the end I wont start on my Diane rants!

BB9 was full of the most loathsome reality tv contestants ever. Sheila and Sharon were the only ones I could tolerate.

Same here. The only two decent ones, IMO.

Sharon wasn't horrible like the others but she wasn't exactly entertaining. And Sheila could also be a bitch at times.

The worst thing about BB9 is that we will have to see some again when the inevitable All-Stars 2 happens!

Crazy James and Natalie are a given to be in All-Stars. Other potentials I'd say were Adam, Sheila and maybe Matt.

Aww I thought Sharon was really funny, especially with the guineau pigs. How ironic they were what got her evicted

I actually want Natalie to be on the second Allstars. I think she's so desperate its funny, and she was actually one of the only ones who was really trying to play the game, even if she sucked at it.

I found Sharon to be quite dull, I found people just liked her mainly because there was no-one else to like.

I HATED crazy James. All he did was whine.

Natalie was my favourite from the BB9 cast. She was a gameplayer and a memorable personality.

I didn't like Crazy James either. He really did my head in. However, I found Chelsia and Joshuah to be much worse. They have to be the only contestants I have really hated, Joshuah being the worst.

Although Natalie was annoying, she really made me laugh sometimes and didn't stoop to the level of some of the other contestants and I sorta liked her for that. I wouldn't mind seeing her back for All Stars, but the only person I would really like to see back is Sheila, which I think is quite possible as she presents Housecalls.

I only watched a few weeks of bb9, i couldn't get into it, the pairs twist ruined it for me. Adored bb10 though.

God, I've just tried to remember contestants from BB9 I wasn't very successful! Although I only remember Dan and Laquisha?(someone like that!) from BB10?

Also how it was shown on E4! BB6 really needs to be played!

BB9 was just different...... Much more unpleasant characters compared to likable ones! I only really like Shelia and even she was moany at times! and Sharon nearer the end!

I can't even remember the rest...
