Big Brother UK 17 - General Discussion Thread

[zakman440]

Not sure whether it's been commented on or not, but there's two showers in the bathroom:

Have-nots incoming?

[Oaker]

Welp where is that picture from?

[zakman440]

It's a zoom-in on one of the mirrors from the original.

[Oaker]

Oh right I never noticed that :laugh:.

[zakman440]

No new house pictures apparently:

Also, a no-show from Rylan at Radio 1 today.

[MB.]

Congratulations on them blowing their one shot at decent promotion

[Oaker]

Are they actually saving the second house/diary room until launch night?

Amazing for C5 :clap1:.

I thought he was on tomorrow welp if he slept in or something

Only cos its not ready lol but here for it

[Babayaro.]

Oh is it him

He's an arsehole then so is that LewisJ

Leave LewisJ out of it!!

[Ashley.]

See, this is what happens when the producers put all of their hopes in Rylan.

sack him tbh

[TomC]

Tbh getting Rylan discussing BB on Radio 1 would probably be the best promo the show could get. Well almost.

Why tf wasn't he there?

[zakman440]

No idea, but by the sound of it they called Greg James in to replace him at the last minute.

[Drew.]

739758261574963200

[Babayaro.]

Sake. Was hoping they would leave that until launch

[Marsh.]

Also, a no-show from Rylan at Radio 1 today.

SACK HIM! :clap1:

:smug:

:facepalm:

[zakman440]

Rylan's on This Morning after the break.

[Rob!]

If he turns up

[Jack.]

Not here for him plugging his show but only just saying about big brother right at the end :fist:

[Moosething]

What did Rylan say?

[Drew.]

Doesn't turn up to Radio 1 and gives no promotion on This Morning, what a waste

[Jack_]

739758261574963200

Oh ffs I don't want to see the DR until launch :rolleyes:

This build up has been a mess. I guarantee we won't get second house pics now and probably no tour either and then there won't be any pics after the launch is over so yay what a waste of time

[Will.]

They did say there's lot more pics to come soon, so it will probs be tomorrow hopefully.

It looks so much better now :flutter:

[RichardG]

I didn't realise the old studio was basically just a tent :laugh: it looks much more professional now

[Will.]

It looks amazing now, it literally kind of looked like a building site before.

[Drew.]

It looks a lot more professional

[Lostie!]

It looks great but this stuff always confuses me. Where do they enter / exit and are the crowd in the same spot as usual?

[chriskicks]

http://bigbrother.channel5.com/housemates

seems like there could be 12 housemates on launch night?

[Will.]

I think on the plans it showed both houses having stairs from the stage.

Someone said they usually have the wrong number on the website before the launch.

I think theres 14 chairs at the dining table anyway

[Wizard.]

looks a lot cleaner has Gus the binman moved from bridge street? :joker:

[RichardG]

I wish they would've took some shots of the house at that angle this year too :fist:

I suppose seeing the stage on launch will be better in the end tho

[zakman440]

Definitely no more house photos after the Diary Room:

Pathetic :bored: watch us not even get a house tour looool

Officially the worst pre-series build up of all time

[*mazedsalv**]

Pathetic :bored: watch us not even get a house tour looool

Tbh the launch is a bit longer than normal so the extra 15-30 mins were getting there's easily time for a house tour.

[zakman440]

They really should have pushed the launch back a week tbh. It's already going to do badly in the ratings as they've barely promoted it and it's going up against ITV's Farage and Cameron EU Q&A, but they clearly haven't left themselves enough time to even finish the house either. It's a poor show that they're not even going to take any more photos once the construction is complete.

[crazycolaist]

I dont know, I could see us getting a facebook video like a hour before show of rylan screaming around the house like a fairy, not great but atleast its something.

They're launching the best time possible. They are giving themselves 3 days to build before the Euros. If it launched next week when the Euros are on there was even less hope.

[Jack_]

Tbh the launch is a bit longer than normal so the extra 15-30 mins were getting there's easily time for a house tour.

I expect there's gonna be more housemates than ever too though (I predict 18), and let's be honest, they'll find a reason to use the extra time to waste on some showgirl routine and then a MASSIVE BOMBSHELL that will ROCK THE HOUSE TO ITS VERY FOUNDATIONS :sleep:

I dont know, I could see us getting a facebook video like a hour before show of rylan screaming around the house like a fairy, not great but atleast its something.

The thing is, a lack of a tour will just be the final straw. Even if we get one, I still want pictures, not just for nostalgia reasons but because it's the nicest the brand new extension is ever going to look. And I doubt they'll bother releasing any after the launch

It's just shoddy planning all round

[Wizard.]

I agree that the buld up has fallen very flat, Timebomb had a much better build up but look how that turned out, this kind of feels like CBB where it just kind of appears on the tv.

[Pete.]

2 hours launch :clap1:

Well LI has been on a roll personally. Their promo really worked so it confuses why C5 are struggling so much.

Rylan didn't even turn up at Radio 1!! That's potentially 4-5m listeners and the best promo but he didn't go... wtf

[Lostie!]

I agree that the buld up has fallen very flat, Timebomb had a much better build up but look how that turned out, this kind of feels like CBB where it just kind of appears on the tv.

The house pictures fiasco has been silly but I'm still more excited for the actual series than I was for BB16, BB17 just feels a lot more intriguing whereas I was mostly apprehensive about what the Timebomb theme would entail.

And of course the much better trailers and excitement to see the new set on TV etc. They've mucked up in areas this year for sure but my general excitement for the series is still higher than it was last year.

The Radio 1 thing is an absolute joke. The launch is now definitely going to flop and it deserves to

ITV2 wanted Love Island to do better this year so they threw a **** load of promotion at it and it's paid off. Why can't C5 have the same attitude?

[Will.]

The promo hasn't been that bad, I've seen the ad quite a few times on Instagram.

It's been decent.

It's just a shame about the house pics.

[Jake.]

I think the promo's been way better than the last two years

[zakman440]

The app's just been updated - still the same thing but they've fixed the sound quality on the videos.

[Jack_]

The Twitter, Facebook and Instagram promo has been good...although the official Twitter has barely tweeted at all over the last few weeks which is pathetic, but can anyone comment on the frequency the ads have been played on C5 and the other channels they own?

Love Island's was being rolled during every break on every channel, you couldn't bloody get away from it

[Henry2014]

I still have absolutely no interest in watching love island, it looks terrible! And I avidly watch Geordie Shore...

[Jack_]

It was surprisingly good last year, better than BB16 and I'm calling it now, from the way this series has started it's going to be better than BB17 too

[Ashley.]

Most of the promotion thus far has been directed at fans; people who already watch the show. The only way that this could positively influence ratings is if it generated discussion amongst friendship groups and whatnot. Radio 1 would have been a great opportunity to promote the show to people who don't often watch it or don't watch it at all and are intruged.

However, I don't think Rylan is fully to blame. They shouldn't have relied on this one chance of promoting to a wider audience, and definitely shouldn't have left it until the day before.

He didn't turn up to the interview - it seems they've left the promo completely in his hands seeing as Emma has only tweeted a couple of times about it. And he didn't turn up. Emma would have done :fist:

[JJ.]

I can deal with not getting house pictures before tomorrow night.

But if those sons of bitches don't release house pictures at ALL, they have destroyed a 15 year old tradition.

Also FAIL at DR being released, the one thing we all don't want to see until launch night. It's almost like these producers are sociopathically programmed androids designed to annoy the super fans.

i thought it was too good to be true that civ bb would get some promo on early morning radio 1... i doubt they'll bother inviting anyone again after rylan didn't show up

i guess he was too busy doing his tan or something equally more important :fan:

[jackc1806]

Hoping they give Rylan a second chance on R1 tomorrow lmao and we get a snapchat filter...

Still gonna get destroyed though, might only just beat C4 tomorrow but it's gonna be fourth in slot unfortunately :(

[JJ.]

Sorry but where has it been officially confirmed Rylan just didn't turn up? Did the R1 presenter say that?

[jackc1806]

Sorry but where has it been officially confirmed Rylan just didn't turn up? Did the R1 presenter say that?

Could've been moved to tomorrow idk would make sense

[zakman440]

I don't understand why Rylan didn't even try to get on Radio 1 somehow. He was obviously in London anyway as he was on This Morning, and New Broadcasting House isn't that far away from the Southbank where ITV Studios is. And even if he couldn't make it into the studio, he still could've phoned into the show like Paddy McGuinness did.

Sorry but where has it been officially confirmed Rylan just didn't turn up? Did the R1 presenter say that?

Nope, he just plain didn't go on the radio. By the sound of it, they had to call Greg James in as a last minute replacement.

[Will.]

Just downloaded the App, it seems fine tbh, nothing really wrong with it.

I like it, it's an easy design and user friendly.

the Love Island App has a lot going on which makes it less simplistic.

Don't see what's so better about the LI App.

[Goodbye Summer]

Love Island's was being rolled during every break on every channel, you couldn't bloody get away from it

I'm going to be honest, I think that's all it needs. I've seen it mentioned a lot on Twitter and Facebook. Love Island still won't get as many viewers as BB does, despite all of the promo you mention or how much they throw it in people's faces. Let's face it, BB has a set audience now, and even if they did reel some extra viewership in at Launch, it's very unlikely that they'd remain tuned in.

Launch always ends up getting more viewers than the rest of the series, just because of general curiosity.

That's just how it is is nowadays. The Celeb series reaches out to more people naturally and holds a better average, because of the Celebs I guess and it has a reputation of being decent on C5 both drama wise/cast wise.

[Ashley.]

He didn't turn up to the interview - it seems they've left the promo completely in his hands seeing as Emma has only tweeted a couple of times about it. And he didn't turn up. Emma would have done :fist:

This is where the producers have to take some of the blame.

[Goodbye Summer]

This is where the producers have to take some of the blame.

You can't fault Rylan, really. Sure he missed this R1 interview, but it's possible it could have been rescheduled for Launch, which actually would make more sense considering it's the day of and they'll want to grab people's attention to get last minute viewers. But who knows. :shrug:

Was it actually confirmed he just missed it?

He's plugged it on This Morning a lot, been very active on Twitter, and is doing a BB Special on his Chat Show tonight, and I'm not huge on the guy myself as a presenter, but his promo has been fine.

I mean, the Big Brother app is fine for what it does, but when you compare it to the Love Island app you can definitely tell which has had the bigger investment put into it.

With the Love Island app, you can track the Islanders individually, vote for free, tweet from within the app, take part in polls and quizzes etc. It's been made by Tellybug, a company that specifically makes apps for big-budget TV shows (they also make the apps for The X Factor, I'm a Celeb, BGT etc) and it has the interactivity that makes you want to go back to it. Admittedly, it does look a little cluttered, but I'd rather have all those bonus features with other things being a little harder to find than not have them there at all.

With Big Brother's app, it's just the website, but in an app frame (with the odd poll or two). You can even load the app-specific parts from the website (e.g the Twitter section - http://bigbrother.channel5.com/twitter).

It's just slightly disappointing that with this series being marketed as a "relaunch", they haven't invested in all sides of the show.

[Marsh.]

The app is full of Rylan video interviews...

Yeah I get what you mean, those little added features are quite cool. I just remember it being slated badly and I couldn't really remember what it was like, so basically it's a lot better than I thought it was. :laugh:

Hopefully it will evolve a little over the next few years.

[BBJordan]

Emma just tweeted that news is coming out very soon:

It is the best thing about this series so far. The best DR of C5 ever and one of my favourites of all time, I have to give it to them.

ITS WORTH AVOIDING.
Best in years.. seriously.. very nostalgic to the C4 days.. resembles a certain C4 eye..

Okay sigs, images and avatars are off and Emma, BBUK, bbspy, Tellymix and one of the directors are unfollowed. No doubt an ex housemate will spoil it but cba to vet everyone so I'll try my best to avoid Twitter

2.19pm: Harriet and Marc are in the garden scratching their arses.

[zakman440]

I literally knew that this was coming the moment they removed it from the website. Utterly ridiculous - they've gone from saying "social media is the way forward" to now basically admitting defeat. Like, what was the point in even saying that if they knew it was destined to fail? It's just moronic that they haven't even tried live streaming - it would give them more benefits than the Twitter feed ever did.

[Jack_]

Did anyone even look at @bbuklive anyway?

No and I rarely watch the videos either, but that's because they ****ing suck. The updates consist of 'oooh James is talking to Emily about how he likes his steak cooked!' or 'the housemates have just had an argument. It was MASSIVE' and tell us nothing, while the videos are usually things that make the highlights show

It isn't the point though, they ditched the feed because ~social media is the way forward~ and now they may even go back on that too :joker:

They should focus on making the Website a lot better IMO if they're going to remove the social media ****, it'd be so much more popular/worth visiting if they had very frequent and lengthy Video updates, and not just stuff that we'll see later anyways on the Highlight show.

I mean, what's the reason to go on it really? Especially when you're on Forums/Twitter and the news is on all there anyways.

[zakman440]

Apparently they're now "focusing on Snapchat".

Who knew just how much technology would develop back in 2000, eh?

Back then we thought it was so unreal we could watch these people living in a house 24/7 on this thing called the internet.

Of course they could, they have so many options open to them for a live feed to be implemented. But, this is Channel 5, so of course they're not going to take any of them.

[RichardG]

i mean there isn't really any excuses for removing the twitter feed, there's people monitoring the housemates all the time right? so posting the occasional tweet while watching them adds nothing to costs. :laugh:

that being said i don't think i ever looked at that page so oh well

i mean there isn't really any excuses for removing the twitter feed, there's people monitoring the housemates all the time right? so posting the occasional tweet while watching them adds nothing to costs. :laugh:

that being said i don't think i ever looked at that page so oh well

They just cba, that's all it comes down to

They couldn't be bothered when they actually manned it, posting sporadic, meaningless tweets and then signing off at midnight. The fact they've now ditched it completely just speaks volumes :joker:

[Braden]

I hate that the majority of TiBB could literally do a better job of producing Big Brother than the people in charge od the programme.

[Cal.]

How are we going to find out if someone's been ejected now if we can't check the tweets of the day to see if they've been mentioned?!

[Jack_]

How are we going to find out if someone's been ejected now if we can't check the tweets of the day to see if they've been mentioned?!

Rylan will tell us that news is imminent and then three hours later he'll appear on This Morning to tell us he has an exclusive that a housemate has been ejected and that we'll be told 'everything' soon and then on the highlights show Marcus will scream 'TOMORROW!' and we'll have to wait another 24 hours before we find out who left :idc:

[Greg!]

They'll probs just post updates on the main account. They cancelled the bots Twitter a few years ago and just tweeted along with the main account instead

[RichardG]

i know the viewing figures are in the pits but i still thought of bbuk as quite a "big" show in terms of costs and general production, it doesn't seem like the type of show that should be focusing on snapchat? that just sounds bizarre to me, like something a low budget cable show would do. :laugh:

[Marsh.]

They cancelled the bots Twitter a few years ago and just tweeted along with the main account instead

Eh?

The BOTS account was running until they changed it for Rylan's show a couple of months ago and now they've made a new one.

[Greg!]

Eh?

It wasn't running. The last tweet was from about 2012 and it was put on private

[Will.]

Apparently they're now "focusing on Snapchat".

It's extremely popular with the teenagers, people at school are on it all time.

But then again not many look at accounts for TV shows and stuff.

But I'd be here for Snapchat, I'd look at all the time.

[zakman440]

They'll probs just post updates on the main account. They cancelled the bots Twitter a few years ago and just tweeted along with the main account instead

I doubt it - if they were axing the live Twitter feed then the updates that come with it will be axed too, otherwise there would be no point.

[Will.]

They way Big Blagger said it I thought it was implying that there just moving to the main account.

Hope this doesn't mean she'll pre record a house tour again?

[Greg!]

I hope she does a live tour, I mean the launch is two hours long and she'll have enough time

[zakman440]

This is just further confusing me as to why Channel 5 won't give it to us then. If they're still running it, what's the problem with streaming it online?!

[*mazedsalv**]

So annoying.

So they completely axed the BBUK twitter? Well, they can do one.

Such a shame after such an incredible DR chair was revealed, which is easily the best on C5 and up there as the best ever. But they had to ruin it with this crappy news.

They've apparently axed the bbuklive Twitter and merged it with the main one

On the plus side I genuinely had no idea that their main Twitter had more than a million followers

Pretty much.

They have a live feed that's still edited for legal purposes?

What's the point when it's not broadcast?

This lowkey feels like C4 promotional work, but it's a shame that the house is so reminiscent (aside from the diary room) of BB15. They could have put a lot more work into the design of the house.

How do people think "The Others" will be evicted then? Public vote? Mass exodus on like Day 12? They vote each other out?

I personally think each "Other" will have to back a housemate to get evicted, and if they get it incorrect enough times they are out. If they get it right, the two people swap houses.

Not sure.

But I think the "viewer" will be kind of told to back the main house lot as the Others will be like the "model, reality types" and the main house ones will be people off the streets/working class etc ??

So, i have a feeling we will be leaning towards the main house, so the series could focus on us hoping for the "Others" to never get in? Unless someone in the Others house is very likeable and becomes a fave.
