Is it just me getting CH4 vibes?
 

From the

- Press release saying its a social experiment
- Advert
- Housemate teasers kind of confirming housemates of all walks of life

Reminds me a lot of CH4 days and actually gives hope it will be a top class series

it's not going to be a social experiment, it hasn't been a social experiment since bb5

but sure it will probably be fun if 17 is anything to go by

CH5 have never called it a social experiment though

The odds are probably in favor of it not being just you that thinks this.

sure but i think it's most likely a meaningless statement

No and it won't be

That's what they want you to think I guess. 5 minutes into the launch it'll be back to the C5 era.

Nope. It will be even more and more scripted. But don't get me wrong, still waiting it.

i know what you mean, it does have that low production value feel that the C4 series had.

What is this...youngsters harking back to the past like the oldies are constantly accused of doing :omgno:

Marcus' bellowing voice on launch will soon snap you out of it

That's the thing though, we were expecting a tacky trailer, rubbish theme etc but they've surprised us and actually made a decent effort so far, so maybe they'll change things with the show?

Lmao, I doubt it. BB17's trailer was less tacky than this one. Nothing changed.

The advert seemed very C4-esque, but that's because we didn't have Rylan or Marcus screaming. I remember people said BB16 was looking to be C4-like, but that just didn't happen

Do I think there's a chance this series will return to its roots this series? Yeah, with a very slight possibility, they are hinting a diverse cast, and to be fair last year's cast was diverse without that even being the theme. By "all different walks of life", they probably mean all different people who have appeared on different reality shows.

I'm not expecting anything big, but right now there's nothing to really be against besides the eye, but the graphics aren't that bad)

I think there were one or two launches where Marcus wasn't a complete gobshite so I wouldn't quite give up hope yet

Looks like the same ****ty hm to me.

I'm very sceptic about the "social experiment" "all walks of life" concept, I don't think it would be like they make it sound like. I have a tiny hope that they will be committed to their PR and theme with the casting, but well... It's C5 after all.

I dont trust channel 5, they talk alot of garbage when it comes to big b and it never lives up to what they promise. I mean look at last year, the entire theme of the show was ruined with iin less than 2 weeks of the show starting.

Yeah.

More 'talent' agency members...:fist:

"TOWIE producer takes over"

Overrides anything else that they've said.

I am sure there was a Towie producer for BB13 which is this forums fav series

Favourite C5 series... still wasn't C4 henny

But BB13 was still very bad production wise with cheap montages and BTEC graphics

I think after seven years... we won't get a Channel 4 style series again.
