Well done to Channel 4 for creating such a unique tv show that actually makes me want to tune in to the next episode...For the 1st time after many years they have re-created BB with a new twist for 2018.

As much as I love BB and will continue to watch it it doesn't give me the same excitement maybe its because I and most of the viewers feel that Channel 5 don't care for BB anymore so why should we and that is reflected in the ratings.

I don't know if anyone is watching The Circle but it deserves to be getting well over 2 million but is flopping.

That scene with Aidan and Mitchell was so good but even Jennifer walking into Genelles apartment was amazing...Such a good twist.

So 8 people moved into an apartment complex in London but they can only communicate with each other via a social network app set up by producers (basically facebook) and they all have to suss each other out, some are real and some are catfishing like pretending to be women when they are actually a guy (who has currently topped both favourite ratings they have to make based on impressions) the top 2 leaders get to block one of the players who have to leave the complex but before that person leaves they are given a chance to choose another player to meet face to face.

Its basically a far more advanced 2018 version of the bedsit from BB5.

But do they win anything at the end !?? :shrug: or is it just for fun?.
Sounds different . I might watch it to see what it's like .

Its for 3 weeks the first episode as with any reality show doesn't do it justice so stick with it.

Its one of those shows where you really get a bond with the characters.
Its actually Gogglebox and BB rolled into one.

It's bloody brilliant

I knew it'd flop but I really hope C4 stick with it and like ITV2 did with Love Island, allow it time to nurture into something bigger. It might be the best thing they've commissioned in a decade

True.

Love island's reboot was only getting around 500k and now is getting 4 million+ so they need to have faith in the concept because it is so different to any other reality show just like BB was back in 2000 when it was launched.

I agree. It's addictive and it's all very new and there's a big element of social experiment in it.
That being said, BB19 is wonderful so far and I'm sticking to it while it's on and I leave TC for catchup.
