Your ideal launch night tomorrow

[JJ.]

Here's mine:

The show opens with Emma on the new Diary Room chair. An ominous-sounding Big Brother says "Hello Emma" to which Emma replies, "Hi Big Brother".

"The plans are finalised," Big Brother says. "All protocols are in place. The Others have been recruited. Have you the new housemates for me?" says BB. Emma places her hand to her ear for confirmation, before confirming "Yes, Big Brother. The housemates are in the cars now." The camera cuts to a series of black cars driving towards the compound.

"Thank you Emma. You may now leave the Diary Room."

The new titles then roll and we see Emma inside the house. "Welcome to Big Brother 2016! Boy, I'm excited. This year, nothing is the same, and look! I'm here in the main house, shall we take a look around?"

Emma then conducts a 10-minute house tour showing all of the rooms in the house. As she finishes the tour, Big Brother calls out "This is Big Brother. Emma, will you please collect the housemates." She heads up the staircase and waits by the doors, which open to the cheers of the crowd outside.

Walking down the steps, Emma reveals "this year, we have TWO HOUSES!" The crowd goes wild. "We've been trying to keep as much as we can under wraps this year but boy, do we have some big treats for you this year. The new housemates have no idea as they've been in hiding, but there's going to be a dark and ominous force coming from that second house this year... and they're called... THE OTHERS!" A lightning clap sounds and the new studio turns red momentarily. The crowd goes oooooh!

"More on that later," she says mischievously. "Now we don't want our new housemates to have any idea what's going on in this brand new house right here. So we're going to throw them off the scent. Listen carefully. In a moment we'll meet our new housemates, and they're all going to enter via our BRAND NEW second house." The new house interior flashes up on the screens.

"When they've all got there, they will have just 90 seconds to decide which THREE housemates to leave behind in the Other house, before the rest of them enter the main house. On Friday's show, YOUR votes will decide which one of the three remaining housemates in the Other house will remain as the final Other and which two will join their fellow housemates in the main house. The main housemates will think that one of remaining 3 has been evicted but oh, no! The remaining housemate in the Other house will be joined by 5 more faces... and boy, will they be causing some trouble."

"Don't worry if that all seems a bit complicated, I'll explain again later on. Before that though, we need to meet our housemates. Join us after the break when housemate number 1 will enter the new house!"

...

I quite like your idea of BB conversing directly with Emma throughout the launch.

Thanks

I also think it would be different to open with the house tour before Emma enters the crowd, and it's also important to trick the housemates into not knowing about the Others.

By leaving 3 of the HMs in there and having a public vote til Friday, where one of them stays in the other house as the first Other (the main housemates thinking they've been evicted) before being joined by the rest of the Others, that would be quite foolproof.

A fake eviction of sorts but also that Other will have intel on the main HMs which might help? Dunno.

Show starts - Tension music in the background whilst Emma does a C4-style Davina opening line "Two households, both alike in dignity. In fair Borehamwood, where we lay our scene." (got this from DS, but it's a good opening line imo)

Titles

A few minutes of jibber jabber "Welcome to Big Brother 2016 etc etc".

Emma then goes up the stairs to give us the house tour. Must be 10 minutes.

All the housemates then enter one by one.

Crap twist they've got planned at the end.

Oh that's another interesting idea doing the House tour and then taking us outside to the crowd.

OH AND NO LAUNCH SHOW BEST BITS MONTAGE AT THE LAST 5 MINUTES OF THE SHOW! Why they do that yet don't give us a house tour is beyond me

-Show opens with Marcus promising a bombshell that will rock the house
-Opening titles play

1) an opening helicopter shot of the new house before the camera switches to one on ground focusing on emma who says something like "new house, new game, new rules" idk

2) then the titles play and the crowd cheers (not whoop whoops)

3) then emma gives a house tour

4) then the housemates enter one by one with no music, marcus, or on stage interviews. they walk straight out onto the stage and straight up into the house. the whole atmosphere is really professional, emma reads the hm details as davina used to. the crowd cheers, it's all positive and exciting to watch.

5) then the show finishes with 10 minutes or so of live feed

6) we wake up the next morning to hear 10 million people tuned in

reality:

1) marcus screams at a new undiscovered decibel

2) lightning and siren sound effects blast as an onscreen "we're back" message pops up

3) the titles begin, the crowd whoop whoops

4) marcus screaches as emma walks on stage

5) emma shows a few pictures of the house on the screen

6) the housemates walk on one by one to a bunch of pop songs, emma interviews the housemates as the crowd chants off off off and that one shouty guy calls the women slags, marcus shouts all the housemates details as they walk in

7) the show finishes with a crap twist and a montage

8) we wake up the next morning to discover a new low of 800k viewers tuned in

Show Starts.

You hear very quick sentences from each civilian series (unsure if they could do it for the C4 series, so they may just do it for 12-16) as the camera pans across the exterior. We see the stage, the walkway, the stairs and then it just quickly cuts to the DR.

Emma is sat in the DR. "Hello Big Brother"... "Hello Emma, we've been expecting you".

Music Titles.

Emma walks into the house and does a 10 minute tour everywhere of the main house. Cuts to first break.

Show returns.... Emma who is still in the house walks out to the crowd and finally says "Welcome to BB 2016 etc...", "This series, the game is changing, there are 2 houses, 2 sets of HMs.....". But before I show you the 2nd house, lets get the first few people in... HM number 1...

3 HMs enter. Another break.

Show returns and we see exclusive pictures of the 2nd house.

The rest of them go in main house (12). Then in groups of two (three entries), the "others" enter. I hope that there is less time on the "other" HMs given that i feel we as viewers will probably lean towards the "main house" in terms of support.

All HMs are in by 10:40pm. Perhaps a quick thing (as they normally do) like an annoying twist. It's obvious.

Then before it finishes. "Well, there you go, you have met 18 HMs, 12 in the main house, 6 in the 2nd house. And you can watch their every... yes, I mean, EVERY move, as we have given you all the action from the house on our 24/7 online feed. Just go to the website of get yourself the app and start forming your opinions... (can you imagine the amount of website traffic that will get, they are missing a trick here so badly)

"I'll see you on Friday for our first eviction show"

5 mins of the Hms getting to know each other.

[Goodbye Summer]

1. My Pizza arrives in time.

2. The new house and second house both come across amazing on TV.

3. The Exterior set ends up being way better than the old one, and we get a much better atmosphere in general.

4. We get a really diverse cast this year that enters. Range of races, genders and ages with all very different personalities.

5. The Launch Twist ends up being something fresh and good, that makes me want Wednesday to hurry up. And is not just something to do with Evictions/Nominations.

Pretty much that. I'd add the announcement of a Live Feed in there, but we all know that's never going to happen, so I'd rather be somewhat realistic. I'd be very surprised if they could nail all of those I mentioned, that's for sure.

I just want cars! And no stage interviews

Housemates arriving in cars, a quick word with them like Davina used too, and no music would be perfect IMO.

Davina never had a quick word with them.

She'd vanish and read out random facts off screen.

[LaLaLand]

Less breaks
Less repeating of the "twist" every 10 minutes
Less Marcus screaming
No Emma interviews before entering, just go straight in
Bigger age range of housemates
Less plastics/TOWIE/GS types
People that you can actually relate to

[Goodbye Summer]

Davina never had a quick word with them.

She'd vanish and read out random facts off screen.

****, you're right. :conf: It's been so long.

I think I was thinking of the 2010 Launch I guess, when they got picked out from the crowd.

Just been re-watching the 2006 Launch, damn I miss that atmosphere, and how they entered with the cars and all you could hear is the crowd and Davina in the background. It was super hype.
