The old BB is back!!!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

This is what its all about.

No music.

No stupid comments from Marcus.

And pure bitchiness!!!

Love it.

[Braden]

Same, Something very BB5/6 about it.

[Ramsay]

yes its feels great!

[Harry!]

Maybe Channel 5 have been somewhat listening to us.

[Braden]

I really think that they were using Celeb Big Brother as an experiment so they got it right for the normal one.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Hope the ratings pick up.

I do still feel like i havnt had time to mourn the celebs lol but sure i will forget about them soon.

THIS

lets just keep our fingers crossed :)
hope somthing happens to cause a hughe ****storm (in other words fight night ect)

[CharlieO]

Damn now it actually sounds watchable and I cant watch it. :(

[Ramsay]

Damn now it actually sounds watchable and I cant watch it. :(

How come?

[fruit_cake]

no LF no Old BB

[Jords]

So.Much.Better

[Maia]

How come?

He's in a boarding school.

And I agree, it feels a lot more like classic BB now.

[andy191]

The name lables are quite useful at the moment

[Lee.]

I'm loving it! :D

My only hope is that they keep the nomination/eviction process simple.. ie everybody nominates 2 people every week and the most nominated hms face the public vote. No gimmicks please

[CharlieO]

How come?

Parents sent me to a boarding school and there is only one shared tv which I wouldn't want to watch BB on around 50 people anyway and the internet connection is too slow for streaming.

[Dean0Mac]

Same old BB?

They weren't off talking to Producers and being told to be complete bitches to each other on the launch night in the old BB.

[andy191]

There dosnt seem to be housemates in the little transistion things either.

[fingers]

What kind of internet connection do you have?

Have you considered getting a PAYG dongle just for TV Catchup?

Edit: In fact you could get a Terrestrial Digital TV Dongle and antenna for less than £20 if you are in a reasonable reception area!

[Babschap]

Very good start BB, they are bitching already, and they have some strange people in there, got a feeling this could be a good one.

[Callum]

Yeah, it's great, I'm loving it so far. Much better vibe from this series

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Same old BB?

What are you actually talking about?

[Tony1111]

It is finally back! :D

[Roy Mars III]

Agreed. It's great.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

There were some stupid flashback moments and random diary room chats over what was happening but other than that i loved tonight.

[Stu]

Not to put a downer on it but the better it gets the more I miss the feed. This is actually looking bloody fantastic. We have ten weeks of this. I could have watched that all night. Fresh in all the right ways. And it will add impact if they decide to chuck in some grizzled old 40 and 50 year olds after a few weeks.

[Jarrod]

I forgot all the horrible editing ect and loved this episode. Big Brother has been listening... Marcus was back to his normal self!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I know!

Cant wait for tomorrows episode...Hopefully they wont change the editing though.

None of this music being played over them getting up in the morning.

:devil:or toss in one 5,000 year old to stir the ****-pot.

:dance: Where can you subscribe to the live feeds on the Ch 5 website?

[Marc]

Yay no music and stuff :) but a few good editing stuff from BB11

[FelixO]

Loved it!!

[Gillian-73]

It was great tonight! firstly it wasn't the pamela show i'd dreaded! the music had stopped which is so much better, marcus was marcus again! brilliant ep great housemates! Plus the name tags were so very handy.

[InOne]

Great ep. Can really see me warming to this one

[Jake.]

It better rate well tonight coz it bloody deserves it

[starry]

no LF no Old BB

Absolutely true. You won't get to know these HMs very well, and the first few who are evicted we will hardly know at all.

I was happy there was less music, and a bit less of Marcus. Pamela though was pointless, her task was pretty boring and we weren't shown much of it anyway.

The program felt like it flitted around among all of them, which was good but not really 'highlights', it was more like watching a bit of live stream at times (though only 40 something minutes of it). The main focus was on the Geordie guy who is getting a good edit and the woman who is an escort or something who is getting a worse edit.

I really hope they have some decent tasks, and that Pamela doesn't hang around too long.

[Zippy]

its the HMs that make the show and there's quite a few crackers this year. Nicely desperate.

unlike BB11

[daniel-lewis-1985]

It better rate well tonight coz it bloody deserves it

It wont.

Was on at a strange time and Saturdays usually rate very low.

Im guessing 1.2 for tonight but hopefully i will be proven wrong.

What BB needs is some massive contovercy to get people hooked again.

[starry]

BB11 was good, I don't like having too many vacuous HMs who just talk shallow.

[Tony1111]

This was sooo good tonight I can hardly believe it. They were far riskier than Channel 4 have been in the past 5 years. They talked so unpolitical correct! :D

[starry]

Well I don't watch it for 'shock TV', not that that much would shock me anyway.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Great first HL Show, it seem back to the good old days & as someone mentioned in a previous post, in part's it was like watching the LF, i just wish they would bring it back, have been watching a lot of the video clips on C5 website today, just to try & get to know the HM a bit better, cause 45 mins of HL is just not good enough to form opinion on the HM's.

[I.am.the.invisible.member]

no they did this with the CBB just gone, the 1st highlights had a toned down editing style with no music as its the 1st night and too much going on, but then after that they added music! however they did have music in this one at the start and flashbacks!!!!

their nothing wrong with editing get over it! every show edited, infact what you have just watched has been highly edited you just class it as not because there is no music!

get over it there is nothing wrong with it, makes the show seem less boring! look how successful x factor is, just says it all and they edited the show to the point of lying and false, but who actually cares in the end

sorry times moved on, its about entertainment vaule not the sound of birds and mealinesses silences,

however i agree with you about marcus, the less of his voice the better!!!

[Jake.]

It basically sha* over bb11s and bb10s first hl show

NO.

[Niamh.]

Brilliant! I really wasn't sure about it when they went in last night but C5 have done really well I think :love:

[Patrick]

CBB was better for me to be honest, but I'll give it a few days before making such a drastic statement on this. :laugh:

[Chuck]

NO.

:laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3:

[joeysteele]

I really enjoyed it, it was well edited and flowed from start to finish, really good.

[Jake.]

I just hope it isnt back to being ott tomorrow

[CaudleHalbard]

Good show. Crap HMs - especially the females. Hope most of them get kicked out quick.

[Patrick]

Utter Bollocks.

[keithafc]

Could be great. Just need to see how they develop. I hope Big Brother actually does throw in more beer etc.

No. Entertainment value is not like the trash in the last CBB. And don't bring in ignorant crap about 'sound of birds'.

[CaudleHalbard]

CBB8 was much better for me.

BB12 may get better when the house thins out, so to speak. I will watch tomorrow and decide whether I want to persist with this series.

Absolutely nobody - so far - I would lift the phone to Vote to Save. Not one.

[Valdora]

Apart from the BBUSA style narrating, "coming up" and flashbacks I agree. The Real BB is back.

I knew I would like this better because I always prefer the main show to the celebrity version. And I am SOOOOOO glad the housemates aren't on the break up bits. This was edited just like UBB and that is fine by me.

Also the little bit of wrestling chat about DDT's and the Attitude Era between my two favs so far Faye and Tom was great!

Finally I agree that now the name tags make sense. When it was 8 housemates with some we knew it was unesseray. Tonight I needed it. I wasn't going "Ok which ones Jay?" Like the last few series.

I agree, there's no one I would vote to save yet either, I always feel that way on the first few days though then find I develop a liking for a few of the housemates.

Right now though,had they all been up for eviction,I would likely have not voted for anyone yet.

[Sophiee]

I agree! it feels like the real bb again!

[CaudleHalbard]

Perhaps - unlikely as it may seem - they have taken some notice of what is being said by BB fans............. even ones on this forum?

[Ryan.]

Parents sent me to a boarding school and there is only one shared tv which I wouldn't want to watch BB on around 50 people anyway and the internet connection is too slow for streaming.

Why were you sent to boarding school??

[tweetypiebabe1]

I really enjoyed it. About 15 minutes in I was like YES! I'm hooked :) Great HL show and it makes me even more excited for the rest of the season :)

[Jake.]

So we are all in agreement then... This deserves to do well

[Flamingjoe]

The highlights show last night was really good! I didn't really mind the music on Celebrity Big Brother but I much prefer it without :)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The music will be back tonight i reckon though.

Remember the new edit didnt really kick in till episode 3 of CBB8.

Really hope they tone it down coz it stops me from connectig with the housemates and looked on CBB at times like episodes were just 45 minutes of montages/best bits.

[waterhog]

it looks great < so much better then deadwood childish dances all the time in CBB

[Zippy]

it looks great < so much better then deadwood childish dances all the time in CBB

amen

at least these HMs know theyre nobodies. Even though Louise is probably more famous than half the CBB lot.

[Stankleberry]

This looks like a very good season. Very many attractive young single people. I hope it will be a drunken monkey **** and fight house.

[BringItOn]

well there hasn't really been any tasks yet so i do think the music and tacky graphics are coming, the first night of CBB I thought was good until the first full day. Hope i'm wrong though.

[Nikkos]

I'm loving it! :D

My only hope is that they keep the nomination/eviction process simple.. ie everybody nominates 2 people every week and the most nominated hms face the public vote. No gimmicks please

Agreed. Only one set of nominations in CBB was rediculous.

[rusticgal]

Its looking good....just wish I could watch more than 1 hour a day...

[ram513]

This is what its all about.

No music.

No stupid comments from Marcus.

And pure bitchiness!!!

Love it.

Exactly what I was thinking! :hugesmile:


Good show. Crap HMs - especially the females. Hope most of them get kicked out quick.

:shocked:
The female housemates are great!!
:evilgrin:

[Zippy]

Really? How stupid. Thankgod I did'nt watch. Everybody knows nominations are the best part of BB.

And yeah they need to stop messing with them with silly gimmicks and blatant stunts to prevent certain HMs going. Such a turn off(although nobody complains if it saves their favourite HM!)

[billy123]

I really enjoyed it but it might as well be not happening there is a perfectly good bb going down and we arent being allowed to see it.

[fingers]

One answer would be to boycott the Voting Lines, but the Clearasil Kids who watch will still give their pocket money to uncle Desmond!:shocked:

[CharlieO]

The fact Stu says the changes are positive makes me really miss it now :(
