This is painful
 
In all my years of watching BB, I have never turned it off, ever. I just did it tonight. Its so slow, boring and this years contestants reads like a who's who of triple Z listers searching for fame and fortune. With the exception of Georgina, they are all wanabees and personality bypasses.

I don't watch Rylan anymore and live feed is dire so its a goodnight from me and a goodnight from him. I cant see me watching this series with any real interest TBH

Jake. 08-06-2016 09:41 PM

it's been great for me

Marsh. 08-06-2016 09:42 PM

Slow? :umm2:

It's not perfect, but slow?

Is your TV on the blink?

LaLaLand 08-06-2016 09:45 PM

Not being funny, IT'S DAY 1.

It's great.

Lostie! 08-06-2016 09:48 PM

Couldn't disagree more, one of my favourite Day 1 highlights actually.

Ashley. 08-06-2016 09:49 PM

It's surprisingly alright. I'm more interested in the main housemates than I am in the others.

Samm 08-06-2016 09:49 PM

Probably one of the best day one highlights of BB ever imo!

Oaker 08-06-2016 09:49 PM

I think this has been a great highlights show :shrug:

BlankSpace 08-06-2016 09:50 PM

Let's be real, better than last years first highlight show tbh..

Daniel. 08-06-2016 09:50 PM

Queen Natalie has made it great

I love watching The Others.

TomC 08-06-2016 09:51 PM

Yeah I've loved it, and I am actually worried about how much, considering it's exam season :worry:

Black Dagger 08-06-2016 09:51 PM

It's the first episode and it's been anything but slow, there is drama brewing with half of them already, some are having decent one liners and some are showing complex characters.

Tarryn 08-06-2016 09:51 PM

To be honest, I always hate everyone for the first few days then start to pick my favorites.

LaLaLand 08-06-2016 09:55 PM

Prefer The Others to the main house by FAR though...

Adamw92 08-06-2016 10:00 PM

k bye.

Jack_ 08-06-2016 10:01 PM

I wasn't expecting much but that was a fantastic start actually

This cast looks very promising, I'm just worried the producers will spoil it as usual, that's all

Amy Jade 08-06-2016 10:02 PM

Are you leaving then?

storybrooke 08-06-2016 10:10 PM

I really enjoyed the show tonight, more than the launch now I have become more used to the housemates.

Yeah this 100%.When it starts out good they will always **** it up at some point in the near future.

*mazedsalv** 08-06-2016 10:27 PM

Probably one of the best first day hls in ages

Be patient Sam....it usually takes a few days before it gets interesting.

Chuckyegg 08-06-2016 10:37 PM

Don't be fooled by the name of this show.
It certainly doesn't resemble Big Brother anymore.
It is fiction.
Everyone is white, thin, young, able-bodied and connected to showbiz.
With a few "diversity" box-tickers.
I don't recognize it at all.
Big fat turn-off!!

I enjoyed the highlights tonight too Jake.

bots 08-06-2016 11:01 PM

its way to early to tell, this was basically the first few hours of them being in the house. I will give it at least a few days to settle down

Yaki da 08-06-2016 11:15 PM

It was alright. But I find the opening HL show is always okay.

But the opening live show was awful imo. Demonic music over a staircase being moved. It's all so over dramatic and joyless.

Why they insist on changing the format up so much without even considering going back to the old format that was a proven success is beyond me. Every series on Channel 5 has, by the end, left me disappointed. Some I haven't stuck with at all.

_Tom_ 09-06-2016 01:08 AM

I thought that was an excellent opening episode :shrug:

I'm more interested in The Others though >

sampvt 09-06-2016 06:42 AM

The simple fact that nobody is talking about the series is testament to how boring it is. I don't watch the Me Me Me Rylan BOTS show anymore because he annoys me so much, so maybe I am wrong in my analysis, but in my view, there are way too many forced and scripted personalities in there to make it a social experiment,its like watching a combination of towie and Geordie shore on crack.

All or most of these so called normal people in there, have agents and game plans and its no longer the BB we know and love, its a mis match of storylines messed about by BB in the vain hope it provides entertainment. Unfortunatley the BB prods are clueless and when you get a clueless and self absorbed idiot like Rylan at the head of the show, its little wonder its going to the dogs.

I was pleasantly surprised at the first ep, yes I agree about the HMs there is no one ordinary...and I agree parts of it are scripted but that has been the case for some years, the others twist could make it interesting and there are a few interesting characters in there so for now Im watching


I gave up on BOTS last year though!

Well Rylan has single-handedly destroyed that show. This obsession C5 have with him, I will never understand.

I personally like talent and I love people being humble.

Neither trait you can attribute to Rylan.

A big mouth, boring, show-off nobody.

chuff me dizzy 09-06-2016 07:41 AM

Got to agree Sam ,it was hard work watching last nights show,all wannabes ,all fake as ..... BB shouted from the rooftops how this series was going to be like nothing we have seen before ,then they fill the house full of the same type of people we've had for the last 7-8 years ,no one stands out for me,I cannot pick a winner as of now ,as they are all the same types

Removed my series link ,not watching anymore ....Rylan is unbearable to watch

Vanessa 09-06-2016 07:42 AM

I like the twist. The Others will think they have the power to evict two people. Then they will see them come to the second House. They will be so pissed! :joker:

I have to agree... The line up wasn't inspiring to start with, but I am finding myself not caring if they are z listers or whatever. I don't watch the kind of telly that they do and don't know them, so they may as well be civilians to me.

I really quite enjoyed the first HL show.

What a shambles this show has become.

90% of them have been on TV before ffs.

Cancel this already.

It's unbelievable how the producers think that's what the viewers want.

Remember BB13?

I swear most of them were normal people?

Such a change in only 4 years. :(

Glenn. 09-06-2016 01:47 PM

I thought it was a great highlights show
