The CBB19 General Discussion Thread
 

I don't really like making ~official~ threads like this and prefer leaving it to other people but I have some thoughts/observations I'd like to make and it seems pointless making an individual thread about each one.

Adam shade?

I have a feeling this series will be similar to series' like CBB15 and CBB16 where there isn't a clear forum favourite or two. Like CBB15 and CBB16, I think they'll be a diverse set of forum favourites which is definitely refreshing. CBB18 had Renee, CBB17 was Tiffany, CBB14 was Frenchy, CBB13 was Luisa etc. It's more interesting this way and provides better discussion on the forum in my opinion.

Also, I don't think the all stars will do as well as everyone thinks. Besides Calum, Speidi and Austin - I think the rest will be evicted just as frequently as the new stars.

I forgot the other things I wanted to say.

I'm here for this series being like 16. I just hope the airtime isn't hogged by James Jordan or some sort of series ruining feud. I think this series has potential tbh.

It definitely does. There's lots of ways it could go and there seems to be plenty of people they want to focus on. They seemed to want Emma and Rylan to highlight several times last night that they wanted a fun, feel good series (which is one of the contributing factors to people on here saying it doesn't feel like a winter series in my opinion) which, along with the colourful vibes in the house etc, is promising.

Please don't bring me down this is my year of change and the year the forum fall in love with me.

Im confused with emmas royal blood and prince referrences.

Jamie will be great i know it tbh

Definitely. Can see Jasmine and Nicola out within the first three/four evictions and James and Coleen evicted either in the semi or approaching the semi. I don't think Austin will even do too well in the final, fourth at most I think.

I hope Jasmine does better than she did in CBB13.

I think she'll shine more in this series.

She's a lot more confident this series and is really making sure she puts herself out there so I think she'll do better this time.

For me she gave the best impression out of the returnees last night so I hope so. I was surprised that she was one of my favourites.

I'm surprised you like her too. :laugh:

I never particularly disliked her but I always found the whole love triangle thing so bloody tedious so I had no interest in any of the 3 of them :laugh:

You made a pretty crappy start then, lol.

Can you leave me alone, for no reason what so ever you have made me your target from now on i will not reply to you.

I noticed that too, I thought they were trying to make a point of it, and that plus the general house design makes it seem like that's what they're initially going for. I've heard the ratings were pretty bad though so if that continues I can see them dropping the 'fun' concept and trying to create drama/tensions/arguments to pull the ratings back up tbh.

I think so too but the fact they're possibly putting Jedward and Procey in suggests they want to keep the fun factor.

I think this series wil be either one of best or worst ever. No in between

Last nights highlights were actually so good for a first night highlights, I do hope the whole series isn't about Speidi and Stacy though (as much as I ADORE Stacy).

I am struggling with this series already. They've put in so many desctrictive, egotistical, sociopathic ex-housemates that it's clear they're going to get all the highlights. It's going to be the same people doing the same things that disgusted me last time. New housemates won't get a proper chance to shine or even be interesting.

Imagine... if Channel 4 had treated Big Brother like this.

I thought so too. It felt like the show had been running for a week or so already.

They've always been prone to casting based on history between celebrities outside the house (CBB7 with Alex and Dane both being Pricey's exits, CBB9 with Nicola, Natasha and Natalie all feuding with each other etc), but it seems like most of this cast has history with each other (Ray J and Stacy, Angie and Calum, Calum and Bianca) and I don't really like it. It feels like nothing is going on in the house in the present.

Liked tonight's highlights again, shaping up to be a good series I think.
