Emma announcing the results from the studio
 

I love that they're keeping out contact ith the outside world :flutter: No more "GET _____ OUT" chants being heard into the house <3

BUT was I the only one who felt it was a tad flat/awkward? The complete silence and no crowd noise at all was just a bit... weird. Still, prefer it to the booing chavs influencing house dynamics.

Also Marcus's voice ruining it all during the countdown :joker:

Emma needs to stop taking the massive gaps between saying the housemate names since theres no crowd reaction now :laugh:

It felt like the good old days..

Even when Emma was like “I’m coming to get you”

I do wish Marcus wasn’t doing the countdown would have preferred just a regular B.B. voice saying “Natalie you have been evicted

I think it was the housemates not reacting that made it awkward, it prolonged the silence.

It needed the tension music in the background, especially when she was leaving.

And scrap Marcus and bring back the robotic countdown!

It did feel a bit awkward but I think thats because weve been used to the noise from the crowd for so long, it looked as if the hms felt it awkward too

Hopefully we get this in the civillian run :laugh:

I genuinely think they might improve it for Tuesday's eviction, like they took feedback onboard from the launch and allowed booing so maybe they'll realise that Marcus screaming doesn't work :fc:

Yeah it definitely needed the music at least

Agreed!

Axe it! I didn't like it

I liked it! They will have no clue how they are doing at all.

Although, they never used to know anyway as everyone was boo'd :joker:

Loved it, the electric neon noise and the lone walk of shame!

Think it's just because it's been SO long that we're not used to it

The only issues I have were with the weird thunderstorm music and the lack of a tension bed (I wish they'd use the classic one for Emma's intros too but that's a minor gripe) oh and OBVIOUSLY with Marcus' annoying bellowing which ruined it

Loved it, i didnt get an awkward vibe, i got a tension vibe.

Btw in case people missed it on BOTS it sounds as if the 'here's how they took the news' VTs are returning too, Emma said they just didn't play it cause they had been sat in silence :skull:

:flutter:

Would it really work tho if there isn't a 30 minute gap :skull:

Love the fact that Emma announced the results from the studio. But the actual eviction felt a bit anticlimactic. Marcus did the traditional 30 second countdown but then when that ended and the door unlocked there was just silence. It was really missing the "Natalie, you have been evicted, please leave the Big Brother house". Plus it needs tension music as the housemates take the walk of shame. It would have been better too if Big Brother did the countdown. Marcus was a bit too excited/ loud for it.

That was near-perfect. Then Marcus... the awkwardness is part of the fun

I think the awkwardness might of also been from the fact that it was natalie's eviction

I can't get over Marcus completely ruining the whole thing

I really want to know how anybody heard Marcus doing his take and didn't stop it

I doubt it . Don't they enjoy stirring up a crowd reaction noise ,?
