The celeb version is back for it's 11th series this weekend (it's already live, but TV show begins on Monday). After years of variations of the rich/poor theme this year they're saying they've gone...

Tough call but I want evictions to matter - getting rid of the extras doesn't change the house dynamics and that's the mistake C5 made year after year. The house should feel different week after...

16 HMs is too many and it really should be 10-12 for a six week run, but I do actually find it tricky to trim this cast. Sadly for me neither Welsh housemate is really adding much - Jenkin is a...

BB outgrew the house compound in Elstree around BB7 really - the show arguably suffered from not having a big enough plot. Also remember although it was purpose built the Elstree house was...

Absolutely agree. That's the only way to keep it honest if they're not telling viewers beforehand too. Indeed they won't even tell us in the edit (after it's happened) what the prizes are.

I don't think so - they need to play this series as straight forward as possible and reintroduce the core format, especially as C5 had so little regard for it.

The only "twists" I'd like to see on...

He is an icon but for these very reasons he needs to go. He says he's been talking to producers though which is worrying.

ITV have their own Geordie on their books in Andrew Hayden Smith, but I...

Yes, I hated how they went for the low ceilings. To be fair I've always said one of the few good things about C5 was their house designs and they were pretty creative with it, and sticking with a...

And that's the key - it needs to be someone who sits well with the 16-34 audience of today, not of 2010 or 2000. The host of Big Brother is traditionally someone who would be a peer of the...

God, Brian Dowling will be pissed off at being only referred to as a "housemate". :D

This series does sound interesting but I'm just not willing to invest an hour an episode.

It's new "format points" rather than "twists" they need for the relaunch. And then the key format points play out almost twist free throughout. Any twists are kept simple - for example a double...

Because there just aren't enough celebrity shows on TV nowadays. I'd be quite happy for it to get a ten year run on ITV2 without a single run of Celebrity Big Brother. Concentrate on the format,...

Agree any first series needs to establish a core format and resist the temptation to throw in twist after twist after twist.

Sadly one bad thing about a revival is the copyright police will probably become more active again, so perhaps enjoy it before they start trying to remove content.

Of course though considering how...

Exactly - the two main annual fixtures ITV have are Love Island in June/July and I'm a Celeb in November. I doubt any revival of BBUK will run as long as it did in the C4 era - probably eight...
