It's just the fact that people have been waiting night after night for a week now for the eye to be released at the expected time of midnight, and then they go and release it during the day when most people are at work/school/college, and they miss the immediate excitement of it being released.

Smithy
21-05-2010, 03:44 PM
In fairness anyone over the age of 15 I think are on study leave, and people who are at work can check, like Niamh.

Of course they can release it when they want, I just find the time they picked stupid.

There's anticipation with a midnight embargo, without one, there isn't.

But it was to catch the fans that go home for lunch and don't have school dinners. That's why it was released then.

But that's a very small demographic.

Releasing it at a time where all, or most fans would have been at home would've been more reasonable.

And it's not like the biggest event ever. I mean, as much as I love BB, the launch is the most exciting thing of all and that's what really matters.

I think the moral of this story is don't be tragic and wait till 12 midnight for a logo to be released.
In C4's defence, they probably figure daylight hours are MORE reasonable for their tweeny fans than midnight.

Must agree here,

I got home and went on MSN and the news popped up and in A SMALL THUMBNAIL which just spoilt it all..

'Channel 4 release Big Brother 11 Eye'
And I was like 'YESSS' but at the same time 'YOU BASTARDS' because of the way it was released.

Also I got into MSN and bloody Jessica had already made an emoticon for it again in small, which just spoilt it.

It was all hard to take in, all I wanted to do was to go on TiBB And see it in all its glory on a thread but instead its all over the net in and stuff and I was like 'WOW Slow down'

A 'reasonable time' is a time in which the majority of fans will be able to view it, when it arrives.

Considering most people have finished work/education by 5/6PM, I think anytime after this is 'reasonable'.
