The 'Eviction Script' will change this Summer.

[Patrick]

On Eviction Nights, I think they'll scrap the classic 'This is...' line when speaking to the house.

'This is Brian' never caught on - I mean still to this day when watching a Channel 5 eviction, I still wished for Brian to trip up and say 'This is Davina x'.

The only reason they put that into the script in 2011 anyway, was to add some familiarity to the viewers, regarding the Davina years.

Now that we have a third host, I can't see them carrying that famous line on.

I mean lets be honest, 'This is Emma..' doesn't have a ring to it either. So I propose a new way of speaking to the house, and a whole overhaul of the 'catch phrases' in general.

'It's time to talk to the house,

Big Brother house, you are live on Channel 5 please do not swear. Housemates, for the past three days the Great British Public have been voting for the person they want to stay in the house.

Rebeckah, Aden and Chris. The votes have been counted and verified and I can now reveal that the second person to be evicted from the Big Brother house, IS...'

That is how I think it should be done. Bring abit of the old Channel 4 script back but mix it up abit! The way Brian carried out the evictions was so ******ing dull.

[Tregard]

It will be "This is Emma", you can bet on it.

[Patrick]

If they want to go down that road they should go for 'It's Emma' or 'I'm Emma Willis' - has more of a sound to it than 'this is emma x'

[Saph]

'this is emma' sounds lame

[Saph]

I miss 'this is davina' :(

[Patrick]

I miss 'I'M COMING TO GET YOUUUU' - although it kind of stopped being relevant after like the first series. But still.

'You have lost your place in the house' meh. :yuk:

[reece(:]

I hate keep bringing in other formats, but it would be great for Emma to have a casual chat and catchup with the house like Arisa does for instance.

YES. OMG. :amazed:

[Firewire]

I hate "your time has come" because when someone is up more than once it just has no relevance. It's only relevant to the person whose time has actually came, ie. the person being evicted.

[Gstar]

"Please do not swear" needs to come back

I hope they don't do that ridiculously long pause after calling a nominee's name

[Gstar]

Can Jamie Sutcliffe just disappear?

[reece(:]

YES. OMG. :amazed:
And like she'll show them a funny moment from the week on the plasma (i.e. Chris with his task victory reaction). Would be so good.

That was genuinely one of the best things like ever. Chris :worship:

[Jack_]

Dermot's got a good results announcement script on X Factor, they should take some ideas from that.

xuy6yn

28:00 - 29:30

[Marsh.]

It will most likely be "This is Emma" or some variation.

I think they should drop that line with the name. The catchphrase is Davina's and doesn't work with anyone else.

Just straight into "Big Brother House.... etc etc".

[Firewire]

"Big Brother House... it's Emma. We are live, please do not swear. It's eviction time. A, B and C... the lines have closed and the votes have been counted and verified and I can now reveal that the first person to be evicted from the Big Brother House, is... A. You have 30 seconds to say your goodbyes, we're waiting for you."

something like that would work

[Firewire]

I also think we could incorporate BBUSA and use the screen.

Emma stands in the studio and the camera switches on to her face. The housemates don't see any banners. Emma says "Hello Housemates" and then speaks to them more formally, maybe asking the housemates a couple of questions before saying "It's eviction time." She could then maybe have a card in an envelope with the name of the housemate who is leaving and say "In this envelope is the name of the housemate who will be evicted. The public have voted, they've been counted and verified and I am now going to reveal their choice." Following this, she opens the envelope and turns the card to face the camera and says the name. The housemates also see the name. Then she says "Say your goodbyes, I'll see you in 30 seconds" before the screen goes off.

I think this would be quite a nice new way of revealing the evicted housemates because it's more formal and calm and hasn't been done (in UK Big Brother).

Firewire, I actually quite like that idea.

[Tregard]

She should just do whatever comes naturally, who cares if it is similar to what Davina or Brian said? Forcing something else is one of the reasons "Your time has come" sounded wooden.

:love:

[emmetmcl]

Certainly don't think the host should initiate a conversation with the housemates as some have suggested. Also, isn't the envelope idea more related to music shows such as X Factor.

I think the way it is now is fine, just replace it with Emma's name.

[Jake.]

Certianly don't want Emma to adopt the 'It's crunchtime' catchphrase, that's something Brian should take to the grave

*back from break*

'Welcome back to Big Brother and live eviction number four. Either James or Julie is about to be evicted. Lines are closed, and you've made your decision'

*bridge walkway moves*

'It's time for the result'

*set turns red with a spotlight on Emma*

'Big Brother house, this is Emma. James...and Julie, all week the public have been voting for the housemate that they want to save, the person with the fewest votes will be evicted tonight. And the results...are now in.

With 16% of the vote, the 4th person to be evicted from the Big Brother house is...James

James, you have lost your place inside the Big Brother house, and it's time for you to say your goodbyes'

'30 SECONDS' (booming countdown voice...not Marcus but that female BB voice)

'20 SECONDS'

'10, 9, 8...'

'James, you have been evicted, please leave the Big Brother house'

[Firewire]

i meant informally, not formally, but you catch my drift

[Firewire]

I want them to get rid of the spinning eye before the door. I feel like it's a pointless piece of equipment.

[Patrick]

Jonathan's idea :worship:

I don't know why anyone thinks it should stay the way it is, we need change.

[Patrick]

Wait no the spinning eye at the door is the best part of that exterior.

1. It isn't pointless, it's a really neat security method.

2. The goosebumps you get when it turns <3

The days when they would come out and try to like hug the security guard and he'd be like :suspect:.

[Marsh.]

Lol, the spinning platform is crap.

The whole set is convoluted bollocks. Scale it back.

Stairs, podium, walkway. No cheap and tacky doors, lifts, eyes etc.

[emmetmcl]

The rotating walkway is cool in my opinion. Really enforces the idea that they actually are literally cut off from the rest of the world.

[Marsh.]

Just looks silly and pointless to me.

[Sawyer]

No, barbed wire, dogs, gates and fences inforces what bb is all about. The spinning gate just adds to the crap campfest that bb currently is.

Most of what BB is all about has been ripped away from the show ages ago though lets be honest..

[*mazedsalv**]

I'm surprised they haven't tried a "You are a live on five" line.

[Bigest Brother Fan ever]

What about

"Big Brother House, I'm your Host Emma Willis......."

[Patrick]

What about

"Big Brother House, I'm your Host Emma Willis......."

Meh, that's something she should be saying to the viewers - not the housemates.

I'm surprised they haven't tried a "You are a live on five" line.

Haha! Probably because of the Channel's name change from Five to 5. :laugh:

[Alec]

I could imagine Emma saying:

"Good evening Big Brother house. [pause] This is Emma speaking. The viewers have have watched, and have cast their vote for the person they would like to [save|evict]. The housemate about to be evicted from the Big Brother house is... [pause] Jarrod."

Big Brother then chirps up with the usual. "Jarrod, you have been evicted. Please leave the Big Brother house." [repeat till at doors]

Then as Jarrod is at the doors, and they open. Emma says "Your 3rd evictee, it's Jarrod!"

[Jarrod]

Well, thanks for using my name :amazed: Haha. This sounds good actually.

The lines have closed and the votes have been counted and verified and I can now reveal that the 3rd housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house is... Kate"

"Kate, you have 30 seconds to say your goodbyes - we're waiting for you."

[Jords]

Big Brother house, Emma speaking.

[Jack_]

How about dropping the namecheck of the presenter?

'Big Brother house, you are live on five, and it's time...for the eviction result. Michael...and Peter, all week the public have been voting for the housemate that they want to save, the person with the fewest votes will be evicted tonight. Lines are closed, and the results...are now in.

With 8% of the vote...the 6th person to be evicted from the Big Brother house is...Michael

Michael, you have lost your place in the game (she should totally say this if they up the gameplay aspect). You have 30 seconds to say your goodbyes'

[Ramsay]

Everyones suggestions all sound pretty much the same for me :joker:

[Patrick]

Giving the percentage would be awesome - but in some eviction weeks it may spoil the announcement depending on the housemates, and how we can predict public reception.

[Headie]

I disagree. I wouldn't like it because it gives the public an idea of who the favourites are, and also the housemates too. Then the housemates behaviour would change. I guess it's all kinda part of the "no contact from the outside world" thing.

[Jordan.]

[2]

I don't think it needs changing, it's not that important.

[zakman440]

Here is my idea for the sequence:
'Big Brother house, this is Emma. We are live on Channel 5, please do not swear. A, B, C & D. The public have been voting for the past (7) days and the lines are closed. The votes have been counted and verified and I can now reveal that the Nth person to be evicted *pause for 5 seconds* with n% of the vote *pause for 2 seconds* is *pause for 5 seconds* A! A, you have 30 seconds to say your goodbyes, over to Big Brother' and then BIG BROTHER, NOT MARCUS will go '10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. A, you have been evicted, please leave the Big Brother house,' and repeat this until the housemate has reached the doors. After Emma says 'Over to Big Brother' the tension music will start playing, it will not have played before hand. When they reach the door, the countdown that was introduced in BB13 will go on the door, but rather than the sirens, the instrumental mix of the Big Brother theme song that was used in BB11 when Davina was talking will play. When the housemate reaches the bottom of the stairs, Emma will say 'Ladies and Gents, it's A!' It will then go to an ad break.

[Jack_]

Ah yeah I guess that's true, but then if it's a big character VS a dullard the outcome of the eviction should be predictable anyway (well, you'd hope...last year it wasn't always guaranteed). It'd still be hard to call if it were two/three dullards or big characters up against each other.

I disagree. I wouldn't like it because it gives the public an idea of who the favourites are, and also the housemates too. Then the housemates behaviour would change. I guess it's all kinda part of the "no contact from the outside world" thing.

No it wouldn't :suspect: cause only the evictee's percentage would be revealed, and they're leaving anyway so it doesn't matter...they're clearly not a favourite. And I think 3 people minimum should be up every week anyway so how the remaining percentage of the vote was split between the other two would remain unknown as well.

[Headie]

Yeah, but there was no mention of it being a minimum of 3 nominees. If that's the case then it's alot better. But say if a housemates friend was up and their friend was evicted with like 80% of the public vote in a 3-way vote then they would start acting differently and be paranoid about being hated.

Ehich could make for good TV, look at Grace (BB7)

[Headie]

Which could make for good TV, look at Grace (BB7)

True, but I just think that the housemates aren't acting the way they normally would if they knew about how much their friend/s were evicted by. I wouldn't mind them revealing it to the evictee in their interview or just revealing it to the public though. Actually, I'm starting to like that idea :joker: But it would never happen though.

[Patrick]

Both of you have good points - remember how Conor reacted last year when he realized The Insiders were hated :laugh:

[Brekkie]

If they're going to change it change it, not just drop a line here or there or change the wording slightly. How about something as simple as:

Emma: "Good Evening Housemates"
HMs: "Good Evening Emma"
Emma: "And Good Evening Big Brother"
BB: "Get on with it girl or you'll be joining Brian on the celebrity dole queue!" (and other sarcastic responses!)

[Patrick]

That's cringey though - plus they've some how got this idea that Marcus Bentley is now Big Brother, so if Emma talking to Big Brother means we get even more 'MURRRRCUSSS BENTLEYYY!!!!' then no thanks. Hate the bloke now.

Do it as it was on Channel 4 but use Emma's name instead. Simple as that.

Anyway, there's only so many ways you can say someone's evicted.

I think the point they were making is that it would be "Live on Channel 5" not just "Live on 5" - or of course they could just have been being annoying.

[Brekkie]

"You're live on C4, please do not swear" is the worst catchphrase ever invented. Firstly it was almost always used post watershed after an hour of effing and blinding in the highlights, and secondly there had barely been a live eviction since I think BB8 - so they weren't often live on C4 anyway.

Moving this on a bit how would people think about Emma appearing on screen in the house for the eviction announcements, just to change things up a bit. Personally I've always preferred the audio only announcement as it forces the HMs to look at each other rather than focus on the screen when the evictee is announced, but in the interests of freshening up things in a simple way I'm quite willing to throw that principle out of the window.

They were all within 10 minutes of broadcast and are classed as live. Davina explained it. During BB11/UBB they weren't in that 10 minutes which is why it wasn't used

It hasn't been live since BB7 I believe, due to Pete :laugh: and some of the other housemates swearing on purpose for a laugh.

And yeah you make a fair point there at that last bit - I'd miss the housemates staring at eachother waiting.

Post BB7 I don't think Davina said the live on channel 4 line that often. It was more of a catchphrase in the early years.

Obviously - but from an official point, they couldn't and wouldn't say 'Five' without saying 'Channel 5' that's just how it is.

[DigitalSid]

I hope they bring back Davina's script, yeah it was hers but Emma's the closest they're going to get to having her back, but they'll probably go a different route again.

Pretty sure I have heard a presenter of some show on Channel 4 saying, "See you on 4 in 4", despite it being called "Channel 4", But don't know for absolute certainty.
