What's with all the music, camera work and flashbacks? [MERGED]

[-=-Razor-=-]

WHAT IS THIS RUBBISH, FUMMING, I DONT WANT MUSIC IN MY SHOW, KEEP IT BASIC

Sorry for that :/

[Goal]

Music = terrible
Names = terrible
Just a cr@p show now

[MaratSafinForever]

I think they began doing this last year, didn't they?

It just totally ruins the atmosphere, it's like they're trying to make it into some cheesy sitcom.

Reminds me of the X Factor, going way over the top now.

Simplicity is the key.

[midlandman]

i like it its a new start

[Jordan.]

Agreed, its pissing me off already after 5 minutes :bored:

[janaddy86]

Welcome to the new format.

[Legend killer]

Yuk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[someguy]

It's basically now a weird towie / BB hybrid. Please no. It's not BB :(

[MaratSafinForever]

Welcome to the new format.

Thanks but you're a year late.

Now WTF have they just done, a flashback photo thing of Sally's "controversial photo"...

Jesus christ.

[SimBrotherNetwork]

Don't like it :(

[janaddy86]

Thanks but you're a year late.

OK :)

What I meant was, this is the 'new format' that they plan to run with from now on.

[Marc]

I like. I like. I like.

[CharlieO]

It takes away Big Brothers originality and uniqueness.

Now its just another over commercialised reality show, just like the rest of them.

It sort of breaks the way you can feel involved in the house.

[-=-Razor-=-]

This has depressed me too much :(

What? They did the same thing with last series pretty much, the music, more extravagant camera work.

Who's going to start watching the show just because of these changes?

It sure as hell will make people think about tuning out, though.

[Legend killer]

Jordan for once you are speaking sense , this could be the start of a new and beautiful relationship between me and you

[Valdora]

I have just turned off. I can deal with no star power, I can deal with pointless live shows. But that...that was horrid. I don't want a MTV style show! And I can imagine it isn't just the fans that are reacting this way.

I wonder how many people right now are going:

"WTF is this!"

[ILoveTRW]

Well the fans liked it how it was.

yeah all 200,000 of you did
move on
the show will gain new fans now and it will be more than 200,000

[CharlieO]

The die hard fans still loved the show and format. This format wont bring any new viewers in. It will just drive old ones away.

Such a pile of crap.

Agreed. It doesn't feel English anymore. English reality shows NEVER had any of this over produced stuff the american shows had. I can't wait to see the ratings tommorrow. If they gain a new audience with this format, good for them. But I won't be one of them and in my mind neither will most everyone here.

[Audiryan]

I agree music is terrible n the names on the screen is no good either not liking so far

[CharlieO]

and you know this how?

Because its not the format that drove away viewers it was the idea and perception of the show in the first place. People thought BB was 'chavy' 'cheap' and for commoners. This is far more like that than the Channel 4 BB was. The only new people BB will bring in with this is towie lovers or little kids who are impressed by its shiny quality.

[Stu]

'Hey guys Big Brother has wibbly wobbly after effects on it now! Let's tune back in!'.

[Black Dagger]

Urgh, it isn't that bad. Everybody screamed for change and when they get it they moan, C5 can't win.

[MaratSafinForever]

'One direction's new single was played on Channel 5 new Big Brother :amazed: OMG guys we have to tune in now'

[fingers]

Wish I was 12 again, I might just get it!

The names are useful because it means the casual viewers will find it easier to follow

BB has been a kids show ever since bb7
people stopped watching BB because its boring
not for any other reason

[ILoveTRW]

at the end of the day BB is light entertainment, something that you have on in the background
this new format is the epitome of light entertainment
if you want something heavier you need to be watching the real world

[CharlieO]

No it hasn't. This is a kids show. It may have become more kiddy but now its just far too over the top.

But this is far more boring than any other series has been. People switched off because Big Brother was fashionable to hate. But yes it did get more boring after BB7 but this is even worse than BB11.

[Legend killer]

TBH the only thing i have liked is the vote to save , everything else has been a bit of a fail IMHO

[fingers]

You won't have long to wait, once the ratings fall to the membership of TiBB it'll be axed sharpish :hugesmile:

[KYF-Shane]

I used to watch big brother for the psychological impacts, fusions and also the general comedy involved when people start to become irritated. I have just signed up to have my say. I found this site after a simple google around 3 minutes into the show after i heard the awful music editing and flashbacks to stuff i have already seen! This channel has killed any psychological interests of mine, i can not get to know the people when all i can see is a highlights show containing what i saw yesterday! This is awful programme design and planning. The music and name tags ar awful. I am struggling to find anything that is ositive. It's dire, and i really loved BB before. I hope i speak for the masses not the minority. That's my 2 pence worth. Enjoy the show people :).

[Stu]

Say goodbye to those classic moments of unintentional hillarity the the show was full of. Now they will be put in black and white with obnoxious car advert music or simply skipped over altogether.

F.U.B.B.

watch the real world youll love it

[KYF-Shane]

Sorry for the spelling, the keys could not keep up with me, it all came out lol!

[CharlieO]

The Real World is better than this anyway.

[ILoveTRW]

The Real World is better than this anyway.

of course it is

[fingers]

Shades of deja vu! this is just a rehash of clips that have been broadcast in the last 3 days!

[KYF-Shane]

The last time i checked, putting 10 people in a house with camera's and evicting them, was not part of real life.

[elliebrew]

Oh for Christ sake it's new and fresh and I love it! This isn't old BB It's an entire new show! Embace it! It's not all thatdifferent from the ch4 version!

Sick of all the negativity! Like REALLY sick of it!

[Stu]

Sucks for you, holmes. This is a discussion forum. If the majority of us are negative it means the majority of us don't like it and vice versa.

[iRyan]

Why is anyone suprised? They did this in BB11 too.

[CharlieO]

Oh for Christ sake it's new and fresh and I love it! This isn't old BB It's an entire new show! Embace it! It's not all thatdifferent from the ch4 version!

NO I WILL NOT EMBRACE THIS CRAP.

To settle for this means you never appreciated BB in the first place.

[ILoveTRW]

The last time i checked, putting 10 people in a house with camera's and evicting them, was not part of real life.

Thats why the real world doesnt have evictions

[CharlieO]

If you don't like bb then why come here

Why can't people accep that this has to evolve

We like BB. We don't like this. This site may as well now be called ThisIsntBigBrother.com

[Stu]

I'd rather continually watch the BB5-7 style of show until the end of time even if it meant it became a niche show on at late night for a cult audience of 1-2 million people.

[_Seth]

I officially give up with Celebrity Big Brother. The only thing that truly remains in the name, people living in a house and getting evicted and something (Big Brother) controlling them. Big Brother is now like every other Americanized unoriginal "reality" show. I cannot immerse myself into this style. I wanna be able to get into the raw atmosphere of the house, because 1 minute of that is so much more worthwhile than a 2 minute, edited, stylized version.

I'm hoping it'll be gone or significantly toned down for BB12. if not, then I'm officially lost as a fan. It saddens me to say, but it's true. =/

[Stu]

Stu EVERY year since BB7 you've done nothing but moan and moan about the format tweaks!
No I haven't. This is something you have completely taken upon yourself to fabricate from thin air. I've liked the majority of the shows since 2006.

You really are something simple aren't you.

[TheManWhoLaughs]

American reality shows have gameplay and stuff actually happening, which makes the stylised editing bearable. On a British show like BB that's just about forming relationships, it's horrible - I can't see how it'll work without famous names unless the cast is absolutely stellar.

[Sunny_01]

Hey Stu, still playing nice I see lol. How the hell are you?

This. I don't want to give up on it but if BB12 is the same I just cant carry on and taint my memories.

[Stu]

Still taking out the trash. The mission of cultural cleansing never ends.

It's good to see you. How's things?

[Lewis.]

Was a little bit weird at the start but for some bits it was quite cool and by the end I really liked it. Brings a fresh approach to the show and I think that all they need to do is tone it down a little bit and then it'll just be a nice little addition.

[Locke.]

It is all terrible and I will have certainly lost interest by midweek unless they realize they are destroying the show and take it back to how it is supposed to be done. And the commentator is a complete joke now.

[Sunny_01]

I am good thanks, was even better for seeing you still lurking about these hallowed halls. I feel like a total alien at the minute, I am like the new kid lol. Glad to see you have kept the faith and continue on your quest for brilliance :dance:

[JAJ1942]

Wasn't impressed

[Goonieboy]

Absolutely terrible! I'm watching it now on Sky+ Ch5 have really ****ed up worse than I tought they could of. The music, the flashbacks and the names on screen are awful.

[SimBrotherNetwork]

I am gutted, i cant see myself watching this crap anymore
The music make's me so angry as i want to know what there saying, and i want to get to know them!
It's Day 3 and normally ill know them pretty well by now, but the editing just gets rid of that

[Goonieboy]

Will Channel 5 ever do anything right??

I have seen sence, i guess i was just hoping that it was not gonna be how it is, i really am gutted so gutted! I feel like i am not going to watch anymore, and thats saying something as i "was" such a massive BB fan :(

[bbnut]

I'm going to give it a few more days, but to be honest I just can't keep my interest in it. I hate hate hate incidental music in any TV programme and the flashbacks are just wasting time that should be used to show us whats been happening in the last 24 hours. Channel 5 must think we all must have memory impairments if we can't remember watching Kerry's tantrum which they've shown us at least 5 times already or other clips we only saw yesterday.

The 'Last time on BB' and 'coming up on BB' segments are a waste of time too. If we are being restricted to 50 minutes of HLs a day, it should be all HL's, not repeated clips!

Don't like the face flashes between scenes either.

Ugh, I was so hopeful when I saw the house, I thought it looked amazing and that c5 had put alot of money into it and would make channel 4 look pathetic, but this isn't the BB I fell in love with and I don't know if I'll be watching much longer :(

[Valdora]

The problem is that they have tried to mimmick the way American reality shows are edited. It doesn't work for our Big Brother!

I loved Big Brother UK because it allowed scences to just play out with little interferrance from production.

The difference between this and the C4 version is the difference between Kichen Nightmares UK and USA. One is a camera crew following Gordon as he tries to help a buisness. The other is full of "reinactments" and generall scripting.

I guess we should have expected this. C4 have a style (Come Dine with me, the Ramsey UK shows) And Five have a more "sleak" style. It's just not one I like. I think the people who do like it are those who like other American reality shows. Big Brother UK felt unique to those, now thats gone. No longer is it a trend setter, now its one of the herd.

[rSlavenx]

I like it!

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

yur get me tho! This needs to GTFOH

Hopefully this is a test and trial for them and when the normal BB starts theyll realize the error. Just doesn't work. BB is not an MTV show.

[Conor]

Big Brother has not been Americanised! Almost every popular reality show I've ever seen from any country within the past 2ish years have used this style of production. It's just the modern way of doing things and this isn't going to change because it's the easiest way to attract new viewers and hold onto ratings. Whether the core fans like it or not, this year BB has been far more popular than I can ever remember since BB7. I've been hooked again and being brutally honest, since the end of BB8 I hadn't seen any of BB:CH, CBB7, CBB8 and far less than half of BB9 - UBB. Now, I feel like I don't want to miss an episode. It's easy to follow and if I missed a few episodes then I probably won't feel like I might as well give up watching. Anything like BB that has gone on for over a decade on TV has had to reinvent itself to prolong its natural life.

[ThisIsNick]

Some of the new editing is okay... as Gavin Henderson said, he is trying to drag in the "casual viewers"... so if someone only watches once a week, they will still know what is going on from 6 or 7 days ago..

The names are beginning to annoy me now. I think they might be handy for the normal version? I'm awful with names, but with the celebrity version, we know who everyone is now.

The flashbacks are annoying me, but again, those are there for the casual viewers. I saw all that the day before, so they're annoying me.

The new editing is just pissing me off if I'm perfectly honest, but I can deal with it. The things I really do hate and want to explode when I see them is the names and the flashbacks.
