Big Brother - The Final

When the main show big brother started on Channel 5 I was a bit uncertain if I liked the direction the channel were taking it in. The editing seemed bit off making the programme seem staged at times and it lost the reality edge it had on Channel 4.  Thankfully as the show went on they were clearly listening to the fans on the forums and on Twitter and the editing slowly reverted back to that of the past. From that point on I was hooked as much into the show as I was in the past.

On the whole I think they managed to get a really good mix of housemates who managed to produce enough drama and interest to more than fill the hours highlight show we were shown each night. The tasks seemed interesting enough and fun enough to make good veiwing. There were some so oddities which include "the vote to save" rather than "the vote to evict" that produced some eviction surprises and some of the playing around with the nominations process upset many die hard fans. However, overall, they didn''t end up distracting from the show, mainly because they were such good housemates in the house and unlike some of the shows of the past it managed to keep the interest going unto the end. On thing for sure there was plenty of romance in the show this year with two couples.

As for who won, well it was it was Aaron, who was probably the most emotional, intellectual and interesting housemate in years. Often accused by the other housemate of being a game player, he knew everything about the show and how it works being a life long fan, so it wasn't surprising he got this label. He will be remembered for his on and off relationship with another housemate, Faye,  and their constant falling outs. Is he a good winner, probably yes, he is the first interesting winner in years and the first ever that who got booed when he won. 

With the next series of the Celebrity Big Brother starting just after Christmas fans won't have long to wait for the next show. Will you be watching? I will after this years shows.
