I beg to differ. I am  pleasantly surprised by now natural it seems, in it's own surreal way. Granted a lot of the housemates are larger than life and hamming things up, but no more than they did in their previous series. It doesn't feel as though they are trying too hard. The limelight doesn't appear to have changed any of them, except maybe Nadia.

UBB is significantly better than BB11.  This is largely because we don't have the likes of John James and Sam ruining it with their attention seeking.

You haven't missed much Brisket. All they seem to talk about is other celebs they've met and things they've done since being in BB, bit of a snorefest atm

I've been more entertained in the last few days with UBB then I have in the last few months with that other malarky.

Me too, I've laughed more in 2 days than I did the whole of BB11

They are all a bunch of luvvies kissing each others arses. Getting little digs in at each other and passing it off as humour.

BB11, for me, will be remembered as John James being nasty to various victims, and then the adoring public evicting those victims one by one.  Then just to cap it off, Sam going in to be another pair of hands for John James, and once again the adoring public aplauding their efforts, leading ultimately to Corin being evicted after a week of hell at the hands of Sam and John James.

The only redeeming part of BB11 was the fact that John James and Sam were evicted just short of the final.

I havent really watched it, im not that interested in watching a whole load of egos. Its just a job for them and thats how it comes across to me. Id start watching again if they send sam in.

Very true ..............but - to coin a phrase 'I'm loving it'.

Me too because we can see what they are doing

I have to agree Brisket.  It's really crap and I couldnt care less if I watch it, nor do I care who wins.  The only ones I like are Chantelle Preston and Nick, and Brian is growing on me a bit.  Coolio is OK, but I am starting to find him a bit of a desperate dirty old man who thinks he is still a 'wow' with da laydeez.  Unfortunatley, he is making a fool of himself, slobbering all over Chantelle and all..I detest Makosi with a passion and Nadia is a stupid cow too.  Both of them DELIBERATELY went all out to get Josie to leave.  Neither of those bitches will win.  I am really sorry Josie felt forced to leave by the constant nagging about John James, and can't wait to see the back of this shit ULTIMATE big brother, who has half of the contestants who didn't even WIN!
