It's not the same cos it's a different house
 

That's the long 'n' short of it. It's just not the same :shrug:. It's some other reality show... but it aint my big bruvva.

Don't be silly, give it a chance

I'm actually really enjoying it and I didn't think I would.

Not watched any of it yet, but is it too soon to say I miss off season :laugh:

West Ham when they moved to the London Stadium

/o:

I’m surprisingly liking this much more than I did the C5 versions.

Me too

It's refreshing to see normal people instead of the model types we always so on channel 5. Hallelujah!

The only C5 version i really liked was the with Hazel and co. This BB has a different feel, and im really liking it.

I think the new house feels very Big Brother, it looks better than the CH5 house.

The outdoor stage isn’t the best imo

But house is great

I’m hoping it’s popular so they build their own free standing studio like at Elstree. Natural light is important, if anything for the housemates mental health. The garden studios just aren’t constructed in a way that compliments what this show needs. Also, we need to get Big Brothers voice changed, or at least get the producers to use their own again.

The house doesn’t make the series, the people living in it do

Well my Big Brother house was the BB1 and 2 house in Bow.

I lived in Bow for 6 months back in 1998, pre BB though

Christ, The Mirror has really gone down hill!

Olivia/Yinrun "race row"

A lot of journalism these days is just finding stuff on Twitter to create clickbait articles.

And a lot of these publications are just desperate to bring up race at every opportunity

Yes Improved
Sub Production Company
Younger Staff
so far doing a good job.



Life In The City.

Oh fgs, surely then Hallie and Kerry were being racist towards Olivia if we're going down that road

The rags probably don't even watch the show. So no wonder they don't know what they're talking about.

i'm enjoying this series already much more than anything during the C5 era. I keep getting flashbacks to older BB's. Things like the discussions Derek had in BB6 i think it was. It definitely feels more like that era, than anything more modern

I think I might have read once that the word being shouted during the theme is 'Bow' rather than 'Go'.



Also, I never know there was a music video for the Big Brother theme. I just found that video.

ah yeah sounds like it alright

The house design changes every year though? So it’s not like it’s even noticeable :conf2:

I'm the same, to me I'd felt like I'd moved past BB a long time ago, but with it returning, I thought I'd give it a go, and I'm hooked

The only thing I wondered was about the mezzanine - is Kerry able to access it? There were quite a lot of them up there at one point.

There is a lift, I believe

Hallie won't be accused of anything as she's trans , she happily threw Farida under the bus though.

I don't like change

nothing stays the same, it's like a toy soldier that turns into a real soldier boy

ITV are definitely doing a much better job than C5 did

I need to give it a week or so, then I get hooked.
Not watching more than 10-20minutes of live feed and I get bored with the birdsong.

Same here. I hate reboots. They always seem to change the things that made success.:fist:

But yeah I am lovin' BB 2023. :D There are a couple of annoying housemates likes Jordan who thinks he's funny. :shocked:

He's actually dull as ditchwater. :p

But not everyone can be likeable. :p

The other one that gets a bit on me t*** is that blonde Chanelle. I'm not sure of her age, but I think she's about 40. Could be younger but she is coming across a bit, you know...err...loose. :p

I liked seeing more of them interact on the live feed ,but it does get annoying when we miss conversation & jokes due to the bird noises.

What d’you mean? Bird song’s the best bit! :shrug:

there seemed to be a lot of bird song in the first hour last night

There's more bird song early in a Big Brother series, when there are a lot of housemates, than later on.

On the topic of the house, here's what it looked like in 2020

Yeah, same.

I never watched the Channel 5 versions, but from most of what I saw, the show felt like it had a cheaper air about it, which isn't surprising, because, Channel 5 xD
