Is anyone else just not interested?

[Ant.]

Everyone's raving about how great the launch was but I just felt it was so awkward with Shaun's secret task and half of the men just clump together for me (Chad/Jordan/Sam) :( I'm really excited for Trisha, Sandi, Marissa and a few others but I just can't bring myself to care. I'm just thinking, "we should be watching Issy on our screens right now" </3

Idk I just need a longer break usually and I'm scared because usually I'm engaged when watching summer CBB but tonight I just felt like i was just waiting for it to end

[StephenPullen]

The launch did seem to go on for a while. To be honest I think the secret mission ruined the atmosphere of the first night. Instead of seeing all the new housemates we were distracted by the inane and awkward secret mission that was totally unnecessary. Didn't see much of Marissa, I guess she was keeping it quiet and taking it all in - was definitely a fan of hers from Mob Wives.

[Jordan.]

Me, I wasn't excited anyway but that launch did nowt for me

[Time]

The task just ruined it tbh. I'll watch the highlights tomorrow probably but I ended up switching off towards the end.

[Alf]

I think in the channel 5 era, the celebrity versions have been better than the civilian. So we'll just have to wait and see what the series brings.

Agree about the task though, it was just not needed.

[HBIC]

The celebrity editions always take a good few days to warm up so I wouldn't write it off just yet. I think this one has potential.

[Daniel-X]

It was a terrible launch, if Trisha and/or Brandi weren't in the line-up I wouldn't be watching

[Jason.]

I'm the opposite. I wasn't really excited at first but I thought the launch was pretty good and the line-up has potential. The secret mission was awful, but thankfully those sort of twists are usually irrelevant after the first few days and don't really have much of an effect on the series.

[Wizard.]

It was quite average but idk I just have a good feeling about this one.

[arista]

Welp at least we're stanning the same two

I don't have the patience for it to reach potential yet :joker: it's odd because objectively this could be the best CBB, but I just don't care enough

Oh no doubt the series has potential, and on the whole I do prefer C5 CBB to BB, with a few exceptions. I just feel completely put off

Me, I wasn't excited anyway but that launch did nowt for me

Likewise, I woke up today, checked Snapchat, saw "Big Brother Starts TODAY!" and thought "oh, I'll have to watch that". I don't feel like I have any reason to watch

Didn't see much of Marissa, I guess she was keeping it quiet and taking it all in - was definitely a fan of hers from Mob Wives.

That's what annoyed me - we didn't see much live feed of the housemates interacting because we saw Shaun's task instead, and we couldn't even hear what was going on for half of it. How annoying

The task just ruined it tbh. I'll watch the highlights tomorrow probably but I ended up switching off towards the end.

I was tempted, but I just left it on in the background. I was only waiting for Trisha

[Will.]

I really like the cast, it's actually quite Impressive for a Summer CBB?

It seems that they've put a lot off effort so far into the series with the house.

It was only the task that wasnt great I thought.

I think this series has a lot of potential.

[Jodie.]

This series will be top tier mark my words girls x

[Ant.]

It was quite average but idk I just have a good feeling about this one.

Maybe CBB18 put me off but I just don't have a good feeling. I'm PRAYING I'm wrong but I usually hate summer CBB anyway

Oh yeah, no doubt the twist will just be a bump in the road. The only men I like in the house are Shaun and Karthik though, I'm so scared we'll have a summer filled with showmances this series :(

Compared to the likes of CBB14's cast I do agree it's probably the second strongest CBB cast, behind CBB16. And yeah I LOVE how different the house is, I loved BB18's house but it's nice to see it not just have a few gold touches.There's definitely potential but I have an off feeling

[Lush]

I always prefer the civilian because I always get more invested in the housemates. Especially this year rooting for the Exiles and the whole thing ending on such a high. It's been hard to move on from it :(

Tonight has been good though bar the embarrassing twist and Trisha looks like she could be a legendary housemate :flutter:

[RileyH]

Live from the House was better, as the task had stopped and all the housemates were interacting

[Vicky.]

Is this not usual for you?

I know half the forum only ever seems to like female housemates and can't stand blokes (except maybe the odd one, like Raph as thy know him or some random guy who has been on a show with some 'queen')...thought you were one of those :laugh:

[reece(:]

iIt was trash, not even a bottle of wine could save it!

[Amy Jade]

The task kinda dragged it down tbh

[Greg!]

The launch was ****e because of the task, I'm excited for the rest of the series though.

[EspeonBB]

The cast is a lot better than I was expecting but the launch wasn't good, probably due to the lame twist

[Ant.]

I don't know most of them but the line-up's looking good for a summer CBB. I love all the women (I'm scared I won't enjoy Jemma later though - I see her being a Marnie type figure), Derek seems alright, Karthik looks good, Shaun could be the best man in there, and Danan is definitely better than the others we shan't mention :skull:

Ugh your opinions are great so I knoe you're probably right but I just can't see it this way yet </3

I feel attacked :joker: Yeah I am, but it's still disappointing when I can only think lustfully of the men in the house. I genuinely don't know why I don't like the men of the house :laugh:

Based on the LftH thread, it did seem interesting, so I'll try and see if I can watch that tomorrow and base judgement off that :laugh:

Oh I get way more invested into BB most times. I do agree - it's the first series I've seen for a while in which the side of the divide I was rooting for won and my favourite won (although Chloe won BB16, but there was no storyline to BB16 :( )

Trisha WILL be an amazing housemate! She and Sandi are why I'm bothering

[Vicky.]

Fairly sure you are joking here (esp with the :joker: ) but just incase...don't :tongue: Just an observation about you and about 10-12 other members on here. I find it quite funny...some people I can accurately guess which housemate they are going to stan from the VTs before I even come on here after launches :D

Oh yeah it's a joke don't worry!! I know who you're on about and I know full well I'm guilty of it :tongue:

I'm one of those people :skull: with Hannah and Debs/Sukhvinder and Imran's pictures released early I jjust knew I'd stan them. Similar thing happened with Chloe, Adjoa and Amy and Sally in BB16. I just get a gut feeling :joker:

[iRyan]

It's gonna be a great series I think.

[Black Dagger]

I enjoyed it?

[bots]

it was only 1 rather silly and harmless task, it does not a series make :laugh:

At least with this cast, there are 3 or 4 i'm going to enjoy seeing as distinct to the awful civvy series, so i'm looking forward to it

[thisisdanny]

I think it has potential, and there's a lot of good cast in my opinion that won't be afraid of drama. The task did ruin it though, because at least when Natalie (CBB9) did it all she had to do was say things she wasn't actually physically getting somebody to pour water on her head or getting people to rub her chin. It was a bit much for the first night.

[Mrmattybeck]

Bbuk was awful this year glad that mess is over absolutely loved cbb launch

I was underwhelmed by the launch as well and not feeling the hype
A good 5 or 6 of them seem like they have no interest in being there at all and will do next to nothing the entire time

Hope I'm proven wrong

[Vanessa]

I tought it was great. Need to watch it again. Yesterday I was way too pissed off to fully enjoy it :laugh:

Don't get me wrong Isabelle was ok...but other than being nice she didn't do much else.
I like the group...that's not to say I like them all..but I think it will be good.

[rionablue]

I must have my head under a box when half the programmes some of the housemates are in are on as I never even heard of about 7 or 8 of them. I am off on holidays Sunday for two weeks so wont get the chance to watch much of it. I do have it on series link on sky to record the episodes but to be honest I am glad I was still around for the Civilian BB final as I usually have to watch a recorded version

[Gusto Brunt]

Well put it this way. I quit the 'normal' BB this summer halfway through because I really didn't like anyone in it.

That's the second time in a row I have quit BB without finishing it. Five times altogether.

Let's hope I will stick this one out. Looks like a good cast. So fingers crossed.

Funny you should say that, I've found the opposite, some members seem to support the good looking men no matter what. :shrug:

[Morgan.]

They're different people though.

[jaxie]

I think the opening show is often a bit dull because it's just a bunch of people going in. I have to say I am finding the cast intriguing though there are too many reality show people in as usual. Love that Derek Acorah is in there, he's hilarious, I hope Sam comes out in the diary room! Come to think of it maybe he should get extra noms for Sam!

[Vicky.]

Goodlooking men would fall under predictable faves :p Yes, this is also true

[sungrass]

Yeah I just watched it on catch up - I was thinking - fireworks - the lights - the works - what a bunch of z listers acting as they ve been told by preducers (Jordan) actually wearng sunglasses a hawain shirt and shorts like Bear in his VT - that was orginally Bears look way back in the day before CBB - - I missed the civilian bunch so much I wish we were watching Suki et al - hope I get into it - I really cant stand the Americans every year - they are so sensitive and yet so bitchy. Madness. But not fun.

I hate c5 wasted all that money on fireworks etc - such a waste. Glad the money goes to charity now

[sungrass]

everyone should do a google as to is Derek a fake - there s a reason he hasnt been on TV for ten years - they actually let him read a fake history of the old castle were doing the show in and he started channeling the fake spirits of names they had made up to test him as they thought he was acting - they did something like daniel diaf which stood for Derek is a fake - he d be going "I can sense some by the name of diaf - yes diaf is coming through'' when it stood for Derrek Is A Fake.

[Livia]

I'm more inclined to give CBB a go. I just couldn't bring myself to watch BB this year... sad, because I'm a long-time fan. Quite looking forward to CBB though.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i think this is gonna be a good series but i literally fell asleep last night watching the launch :x

that has never happened before

[Moosething]

The launch was a live car crash, but I actually think the cast is quite good and has potential.

Which American is going to be the first one to totally over react to some imagined insult and then hold a grudge nearly the entire series? The Mob one probably - or the drunk wine one - or Chad - yep great Americans yet again.

[Cal.]

Welp I really liked the launch.

[Ant.]

Welp I really liked the launch.

It seems a lot of people did based on the rate the launch thread, but I felt alone. Seems that the launch has divided a lot of people -some loved it, some hated it

[CherryTango]

Considering the sh*t show civilian series we just had, I really enjoyed this launch and have really high hopes :D

Also, the house is SOOO much better now - but could they not replace the diary room background??? They got rid of the tacky Homebase grass, but not the field background?

I completely agree. that task was one of, if not the worst launch night twist ever.

and the characters didn't do much for me, and yes its way too close to the other bb! I dont know who has requested these two series to be so close to each other!

[EspeonBB]

Well tonight's episode didn't really do much to increase my interest

To be fair, ever since 2012 (excluding 2015) BB and summer CBB have been a matter of days apart - I think this has been one of the longest breaks between seasons (bar CBB16, of course). I need a week or two of a break to really digest civilian.

That being said, I half-enjoyed the HLs tonight. The 'lads' seemed to dominate tonight though, which was offputting :(

[Ant.]

Trisha talking about uncircumcised European cock and standing in the pool were the only highlights of tonight's highlights </3

her 10k calorie eating challenge was more entertaining then tonights episode

but the pool bit was a scream

The series peaked with Trisha asking Jordan if he was an escort.

:joker: I was more engaged seeing her announce her CBB stint despite the fact I already (obviously) knew today than I was watching tonight's HLs

It's kinda sad I found myself chuckling more at Trish being stood in a pool than the fire alarm fiasco :worry:

[Crimson Dynamo]

You are excited by Marisha and tubby trisha?

That's is the problem
