Why is anyone suprised? They did this in BB11 too.

NO I WILL NOT EMBRACE THIS CRAP.

To settle for this means you never appreciated BB in the first place.

Thats why the real world doesnt have evictions

We like BB. We don't like this. This site may as well now be called ThisIsntBigBrother.com

I'd rather continually watch the BB5-7 style of show until the end of time even if it meant it became a niche show on at late night for a cult audience of 1-2 million people.

I officially give up with Celebrity Big Brother. The only thing that truly remains in the name, people living in a house and getting evicted and something (Big Brother) controlling them. Big Brother is now like every other Americanized unoriginal "reality" show. I cannot immerse myself into this style. I wanna be able to get into the raw atmosphere of the house, because 1 minute of that is so much more worthwhile than a 2 minute, edited, stylized version.

I'm hoping it'll be gone or significantly toned down for BB12. if not, then I'm officially lost as a fan. It saddens me to say, but it's true. =/

No I haven't. This is something you have completely taken upon yourself to fabricate from thin air. I've liked the majority of the shows since 2006.

You really are something simple aren't you.

American reality shows have gameplay and stuff actually happening, which makes the stylised editing bearable. On a British show like BB that's just about forming relationships, it's horrible - I can't see how it'll work without famous names unless the cast is absolutely stellar.

Hey Stu, still playing nice I see lol. How the hell are you?

This. I don't want to give up on it but if BB12 is the same I just cant carry on and taint my memories.

Still taking out the trash. The mission of cultural cleansing never ends.

It's good to see you. How's things?

Was a little bit weird at the start but for some bits it was quite cool and by the end I really liked it. Brings a fresh approach to the show and I think that all they need to do is tone it down a little bit and then it'll just be a nice little addition.

It is all terrible and I will have certainly lost interest by midweek unless they realize they are destroying the show and take it back to how it is supposed to be done. And the commentator is a complete joke now.

I am good thanks, was even better for seeing you still lurking about these hallowed halls. I feel like a total alien at the minute, I am like the new kid lol. Glad to see you have kept the faith and continue on your quest for brilliance :dance:

Wasn't impressed

Absolutely terrible! I'm watching it now on Sky+ Ch5 have really ****ed up worse than I tought they could of. The music, the flashbacks and the names on screen are awful.

I am gutted, i cant see myself watching this crap anymore
The music make's me so angry as i want to know what there saying, and i want to get to know them!
It's Day 3 and normally ill know them pretty well by now, but the editing just gets rid of that

Will Channel 5 ever do anything right??

And you complained about me complaining earlier.

I am glad you have seen sense.

I have seen sence, i guess i was just hoping that it was not gonna be how it is, i really am gutted so gutted! I feel like i am not going to watch anymore, and thats saying something as i "was" such a massive BB fan :(

I'm going to give it a few more days, but to be honest I just can't keep my interest in it. I hate hate hate incidental music in any TV programme and the flashbacks are just wasting time that should be used to show us whats been happening in the last 24 hours. Channel 5 must think we all must have memory impairments if we can't remember watching Kerry's tantrum which they've shown us at least 5 times already or other clips we only saw yesterday.

The 'Last time on BB' and 'coming up on BB' segments are a waste of time too. If we are being restricted to 50 minutes of HLs a day, it should be all HL's, not repeated clips!

Don't like the face flashes between scenes either.

Ugh, I was so hopeful when I saw the house, I thought it looked amazing and that c5 had put alot of money into it and would make channel 4 look pathetic, but this isn't the BB I fell in love with and I don't know if I'll be watching much longer :(

The problem is that they have tried to mimmick the way American reality shows are edited. It doesn't work for our Big Brother!

I loved Big Brother UK because it allowed scences to just play out with little interferrance from production.

The difference between this and the C4 version is the difference between Kichen Nightmares UK and USA. One is a camera crew following Gordon as he tries to help a buisness. The other is full of "reinactments" and generall scripting.

I guess we should have expected this. C4 have a style (Come Dine with me, the Ramsey UK shows) And Five have a more "sleak" style. It's just not one I like. I think the people who do like it are those who like other American reality shows. Big Brother UK felt unique to those, now thats gone. No longer is it a trend setter, now its one of the herd.

I like it!

yur get me tho! This needs to GTFOH

Hopefully this is a test and trial for them and when the normal BB starts theyll realize the error. Just doesn't work. BB is not an MTV show.

Big Brother has not been Americanised! Almost every popular reality show I've ever seen from any country within the past 2ish years have used this style of production. It's just the modern way of doing things and this isn't going to change because it's the easiest way to attract new viewers and hold onto ratings. Whether the core fans like it or not, this year BB has been far more popular than I can ever remember since BB7. I've been hooked again and being brutally honest, since the end of BB8 I hadn't seen any of BB:CH, CBB7, CBB8 and far less than half of BB9 - UBB. Now, I feel like I don't want to miss an episode. It's easy to follow and if I missed a few episodes then I probably won't feel like I might as well give up watching. Anything like BB that has gone on for over a decade on TV has had to reinvent itself to prolong its natural life.
