Pretty much the same as you Aimee  . Its a real chore watching it. If it wasn't for us all bonding together on the thread, I wouldn't tune in. If the more interesting ones do go early on, and we're left with only fauxmances, I'm orrff! 

I couldn't help feeling after Bowie died yesterday... what completely shallow and pointless nomarks this lot are. Not only BB but popular culture has really descended to the dregs.

I think that is probably what the main problem is this time, it really does feel like we have scraped the bottom of the barrel with this bunch, there's a few interesting ones but all they show is the fauxmances

Ironically, this is the first CBB I have actually seen from the beginning since the first one, primarily because I am on leave for a month (did I mention that?  .

But I was never going to watch this all the way through and although I have seen every episode so far my run comes to an end as I will be at the footy tonight and saturday night out for food. I will not be catching up and will gradually walk away from it.

I'm really only joining in for the chat with other FM's. You are right, it's dire. I have no interest in these people and will not miss it when I'm not around.

I pretty much agree with that. Celebrity used to be a by-product of the public facing career you chose be it musician, film or TV. Now it would seem that celebrity is the main aim regardless of whether you have a specific talent or not.

I think it's got so bad now that it actually makes compelling viewing .

I haven't watched either format of the show for quite a while now, Aimee.  The whole thing just seemed so contrived, scripted even, and if there were any interesting housemates we never got to see or hear them,  just the egotistical, self-obsessed bores, so I just stopped watching and haven't missed it.

Up to now it isn't what one would term "a classic"

Nor could it be called 'interesting'

I find it interesting only so far as to see how low 'celebrity' has descended. And it's low.

It's up to BB to bring out the best in anyone but they're failing. I'm sure that even Scotty Tit can be a real giggle when provoked.

It's not so much that they're running out of celebs, it's that they're bereft of ideas

I agree with you they just can't be bothered to think up new ideas and funny tasks, they just want the arguments and romances

Is that a euphemism Pirate? 

I absolutey love that smiley. It is probably my favourite one of all time 

lol

nah

when she sang arms of an angel, i was all goosebumpy for the right reasons

i dont wanna sound a bit of a  w@nker but it was really nice-cos i listened to that when i lost my minty girl

she sang it good

It's dire and the HMs are a very poor bunch....just watching to join in the thread, but if it carries on like this then I'll be off as well

Not enjoing this CBB at all. The thread is the only good thing about it.

There is not one 'personality' in there that is either amusing, intriguing, or purely famous/talented enough for my interest to be held, my interest is only in joining in with the banter and moaning on here.........
