BIG BROTHER 11
‘EYE’ REVEALED

Over the last decade, the Big Brother Eye has become one of the most familiar and iconic emblems of any TV show. With the final series on Channel 4 due to start in a matter of weeks the last Big Brother Eye has, at last, been revealed to eagerly awaiting fans.

Made up of hundreds of brightly coloured flowers the Big Brother 11 Eye is a vibrant floral tribute marking the end of Big Brother and the eleven years of entertainment the show has brought its millions of fans over the summer months.

This tribute is echoed in the start of the new trailer for the series which depicts the final farewell of the Big Brother Diary Room chair. But in true Big Brother style things do not remain sombre for long.

On Monday night, directly following Davina McCall’s new show, The Million Pound Drop Live, on Channel 4 viewers will see the trail on TV for the first time.

The trailer shows a sombre funeral presided over by voice of Big Brother Marcus Bentley, and attended by former Housemates loved and loathed, as they bid fond farewell to the show that made them household names. But, as the diary room chair is lowered into the ground the scene erupts into a colourful mardi gras as the true nature of the show is celebrated with a joyful explosion of confetti, carnival music and dancing.

Offering a glimpse of what they can expect from the final series the trail communicates to fans that although this may be the end there are still a few more surprises in store.

David Williams, Commissioning Editor for Big Brother at Channel 4 said

“Yes the series is ending and yes we wanted to mark that but we also wanted to show viewers that Big Brother is essentially an incredible entertainment show and there are plans afoot to ensure that a carnival atmosphere of fun and enjoyment will be at the forefront for what we hope will be a lively final series. “

Viewers are invited to watch Davina’s new show, The Million Pound Drop Live, on Monday at 10pm to see the trail for the first time on Channel 4 directly following this.

The eye is not due to be released until Monday/Tuesday.

Also we have not been given the embargoe yet, so why would you have it? mmmm, skeptical.

But surely you'd use funeral flowers like Lilys rather than those plastic ones

I have to say that Daniel is quite right in his hesitation. After the legions of liars, fakers and speculators- its left us all unwilling to believe what we hear that isn't directly from C4/production tea.

I do believe this is the genuine BB11 eye though.

Yeah same with me, rather than just graphics I like the use of actual objects - fire for CBB7 and flowers for BB11.

I really like it! Looks rather festivally and gives the impression BB11 will be celebrating its end! Think the advert is really good also and will fit very well with the eye. :)


BB11 IS COMING!!! :dance:

It didn't like BB9 or 10, but they grew on me. I'll think about it.

Maia
21-05-2010, 12:32 PM
Yeah I agree, it's too cheap and depressing. A *time is running out* cog theme would've been a lot more stylish tbh. They could've done more with that.

When considering a floral design, I must say, I expected a lot worse. I am not happy with this eye in the slightest but comparing this to what I pictured in my head, it isn't too bad.

Shaun
21-05-2010, 01:29 PM
I like how 3D it looks, but otherwise it's very..."meh".

Stu
21-05-2010, 01:36 PM
It's great. It keeps with CBB's idea of making something completely unexpected, yet it is also traditional and Eatock-ish.

We have had enough of tech graphics. This is original. And as a result, will get more attention.

I think the flowers themselves could have been brighter though. It looks very dark on a black backround.

BBitterLemons
21-05-2010, 01:38 PM

blackgloves
21-05-2010, 01:39 PM
It encompasses good and bad - the fact that it looks like a wreath, but manages to look and feel like summer. It's on a black background which feels like hell in some respects. Its mixed together really well.

Stu
21-05-2010, 01:51 PM
I think they should go full blown 60's psychedelia with the video graphics. I doubt it though, considering the funeral vibe.

I'm finding it incredibly difficult to imagine what titles this eye could inspire. I think we may be getting another lazy BB10 style opening that nicks from the trailers.

Yes, and it was released at 11AM this morning. Wasn't a usual midnight embargo, hence why it's an early release.
