Now we are a week into the new reboot, I'm interested in pro's and con's on the return of the show from other fans.
Pros
- I think the production team did a good job in casting.
- Theme tune returned
- Marcus returned
- General UK format we know has been retained
- Live feed is (somewhat) back
- Spin-off show is back
Cons
- Not a fan of the duo hosting. I like AJ and Will, but it's too much as a pair. A few times they've done L&L on their own and the flow works better.
- House size. Well decorated, but massive. The drama seems to be better in tighter living spaces. Also, not a fan of the soundstage approach.
- BB's voice. It's grown on me this week, but if they were going to take the "same voice" approach, they could've taken a page out of early seasons of BBAU.
- The show seems overly PC - like apparently telling the audience they can't boo, or no televised smoking (the best bitching came from the smoking area).
- Not a fan of the background music and montages in highlight episodes. I used to always love that the UK never did this compared to other versions.
- Too many visible cameras - they know when they're being followed or watched. Those same cameras would work just the same behind the mirrors.
- ONE NOMINATION EACH PER WEEK
