No. However I don't think any of us expected this disaster to continue as long as it has and possibly will.

IMO if it wasn't for ITV announcing their revival of BBUK when they did 7 would have called it quits already.
Well that's really paid off. Going gangbusters for them now, eh?

Lol forgot that I had even made that comment. Who knew they could make the show even worse than it was?
I'm just re-reading this thread, it's great lol. Like we totally knew.

Wish the producers had that foresight before they made this season
^^ I totally called it. Seven has indeed claimed to have won the year. And yes, it just happens to be tanking.
So is this season watchable @sav0001?
We called it the minute everything was announced. It's as if not listening to the core Big Brother fanbase is a mistake.

It's not good but I had very low expectations so it's not as bad as I was expecting

To me it's like this. Say you don't study for a test and expect to get a zero. And then you get a 17%. You'd be elated. Not elated at the score, just that isn't a zero.
The only enjoyment that could come from the channel 7 version of BBAU is not that any of it is good, it's any unexpected thing in that you can actually pay attention to that stops you looking at your phone while it plays in the background.But, it doesn't last long.
To quote myself:
If they've spent three years building up the competitive format and then having lost the old school BB fans and also lost many casual viewers with the "love" angle, then stripping out the element of the format that perhaps has attracted new viewers is only going to lose them as well.
But heck, why build a challenge when you can just have people press a button and steal all their clothes instead.
I just found the challenges too samey, focusing too much on things that will usually be won by the youngest, fittest, strongest, leanest, whatever. And they drag on and are boring to watch, just padding for their 90 minute shows. At least the old tasks often involved the housemates doing things together and opening dialogues, or were funny or entertaining. If I wasn't watching live I'd hit FF through each of Seven's challenges because they just don't add anything.

I've always felt the challenges were just 30 minutes of the BB voice saying cringy things such as "and just like that"...
They really do add nothing of substance.
At least FNL was somewhat fun to watch and a lot of the challenges were either multi-skilled or random.

True, I would say BB Uncut has probably been the best episode as we got to see extended conversations.

Friday Night Live was meant to be a good laugh that the housemates took seriously but not too seriously and there was an expectation that the winner would be 'shared around' so that most of them go to go in the rewards room. I think 07 was kind of the year it started to go downhill because boring Andrew starting winning too much and because he was taken he would only pick men to go into the rewards room with him which made for very boring weekend footage.

and big brother fans criticized the existance of FNL back in the days too.
I almost never watched FNL when it was on. It's almost as if as a fan of BB I didn't give a crap about them doing silly games.
They literally threw shit at them.
