It’s a shame, on paper this cast seemed really strong. But we have a group of people who most of which are very much susceptible to pact mentality. Both “sides” of the house have likeable characters, it’s just a shame they don’t seem to like to interact together as much. I feel a majority of these people would be better in a different cast, just not all together in this one.
I am so over the Matty/Jordan thing now. Jordan is kind of irritating me with it. He is completely aware it’s not going to lead to anything and that it is upsetting Henry. Yet he’ll continue to engage with it and then tell Matty they need to separate and not talk. I like Jordan when we’re seeing him being unemotional and dry, I’m kinda over this whole storyline. And Matty doesn’t even have a storyline of his own.
I also feel like a lot of the storyline’s are mostly manufactured through drama inflicted by Big Brother. At the moment the biggest narrative all stemmed from the stupid back door eviction twist. And when it’s not to do with the twists/tasks it’s just discussion of food. I feel like we don’t know much about these people’s lives and we more so just know how they are in group situations.
It’s not a bad season at all, I enjoy it still and I do like the cast, it’s just it feels more like a channel 5 season rather than a channel 4 one. There’s quite a bit of improvement that needs to happen for the next season.
