No atmosphere

[Wizard.]

The first ten minutes were good no I’ve lost interest

[Jase.]

Crowd are f'n AWFUL.

[elliebrew]

People like you are the reason shows like this are in danger

They've literally not even got all the cast in and not enough is happening

[Epic.]

It's even worse than the CBB21 crowd

[Scream]

I feel they need to stop with the Emma interviews and just chuck them in and let us watch

[_Tom_]

Same I'm a tad bored

This tbh. I feel like this launch night format is tired. It’s too dragged out.

And even worse, these family interviews. A lot of the cast I'm not interested in yet so why would I care about their family members? :laugh:

[Jack_]

They could've easily cut all the pointless family segments and the housemate interviews too (which are tired) and saved 15-30 minutes

Other than that everything's been positive

[pontyboi]

For me its been the worst launch of CBB ever :/ which is scary as they really needed to step it up tonight to capture the viewers.

The crowd is tiny and everything is to long winded....Like its actually irritating me to the point ive shouted at the tv "just get in the ****ing house already!".

[thisisdanny]

Get Anna in the crowd to liven things up

Extra security needed?

[Black Dagger]

What do you expect with a line-up this piss poor.

This.

One aspect of the channel 4 years they NEED is just letting the housemate go in instead of being asked banal questions by Emma. It disrupts the flow and has never worked imo.

It's a great lineup

[rusticgal]

Tbf the first night is merely an introduction of housemates...nothing much happens until 2-3 days in when friendships start forming..
I never expect much drama until then...

[BBUKfan88]

I agree, I have never got bored during a launch but sadly I did. I even started doing some work from home so I wasn't that into it.

[pontyboi]

It's a great lineup

Oh Ellie **** off if anyone says anything bad about the show you jump on them like a sex starved prisoner having a conjugal visit.


From what ive seen over all social media platforms and forums people are disappointed with the launch.

All the tools were there and they executed it poorly...It was boring.

[Marsh.]

Their own fault for putting all of their eggs in Stormy's basket.

They deserve it if this fails for that desperation itself.

[Ant.]

Gary Busey asking Em if she had three questions for him :love:

Where?

^ This to be honest. Though it is only day one.

[LaLaLand]

The interviewing the friends and family is totally unnecessary!

[mr rochester]

The interviewing the friends and family is totally unnecessary!

I think they were filling in the time left over from the Stormy no-show.

Not a good opening night...

[*mazedsalv**]

supertv said it was loud in the crowd, maybe it just didn't come across on the screen?

Also the crowd is small anyway but cars took out some of the audience space.

[Maru]

I sort of felt that way, that the beginning was much better than how it felt more towards the end.. but I think only because it was still new, the changes in productions, the set, the atmosphere, the smaller changes in nuance... and so it had lost that surprise factor once the usual CBB folk came in... they did seem to lose steam really quickly, even the crowd... but I think if I had been a crowd member waiting all day there based on hype and one of the expected cast members didn't show, then that would lead to a buzzkill pretty quickly...

[BBUKfan88]

I thought that kirsty was told to ask each housemate about themselves to help make up the viewers mind when it came to the vote later in the show but none of that was shown. Emma mentioned she was asking questions but then it was never talked about again after that?

[pontyboi]

Yeah the twist failed but will be shown on tomorrow nights highlight show.

[supertv247]

I was in the crowd today, and it clearly came across so flat because of how tiny it was. Half the crowd was gone for the cars to drive in, then a lot of it was press, then a whole half was friends and family who only cheered their own ones. Then you’re left with such a small portion of actual fans in the audience - hence why they weren’t very loud!

Hopefully it’ll be much better for evictions now

Yeah I noticed the huge gaps where the audience used to be especially from the drone like shots and it didn't feel like a launch it was literally a handful of fans.

Shame.

[Cal.]

Mess it was my favourite launch in years :worry:

[Maru]

Mess it was my favourite launch in years :worry:

And that's good :love: We all came into launch with different expectations I think so that can color things a bit. It wasn't bad or anything in my case, but did feel odd, the pacing of the shots and the production felt a little blendy at various points. It did make the family/friend interviews feel like it dragged on more than really did... I think I won't overthink it at this point and just watch the show...

[Cherie]

I found it a bit dragged out, we really didn't need the family/friends interviews, just get them in... No Marcus voice overs :omgno:

[Crimson Dynamo]

when they get to the dances it will liven up

[Eddie.]

Though the house tour/car entry/Emma reading out the facts/no Marcus were HUGE improvements IMHO. The crowd was probably the most dead at a BB launch EVER.

It makes the BB10 launch night have atmosphere...

[Patrick]

I was embarrassed to be watching it to be honest. Just felt like such a non-event. Crowd couldn’t care less.

If I hadn’t recorded it, I’d of switched off. Literally fast forward the interviews and the VTs of the nobodies. What was meant to be a return to form, fell flat on it’s face. Such a shame.

I think you missed the point. Nobody was expecting fireworks and drama but as launch nights go, this was diabolical. No life to it what so ever.

[Gusto Brunt]

Same I'm a tad bored

I always find the launch night boring. It's so slow and there's a lot of filler.

I went to bed before the programme had finished.

Don't think I missed anything.

[reece(:]

It was all going so good with the house tour as well

[Patrick]

Yep! The start of it was fantastic with the tour and the opening line instead of Bentley screaming over a VT.
