I mean, move it forward a couple weeks, start date mid september then you’ve got around 7 weeks, would be so much better.
And let’s not even start on the themes, or lack of and the house. It just feels very ‘Big Brother Lite’. The house continues to look like the set of a mid 2000’s nickelodeon kids show..
The cast just didn’t really click either, but supose that can’t really be helped when they’re already cast and in the house. I also miss late entries, maybe a week or 2 in, which it’s kind of pointless doing with a 5 week run
I know they’re clearly trying to go their own route, but i’d rather they just copied the Channel 4 days or damn, even the Channel 5 days.. just give us something  |
Yes to all of this. I often hear that the look and feel of the show doesn't matter and it's all about the cast. Sorry but they're just as important, imo. That's kinda BB's USP in the reality genre is that it's edgier and not squeaky clean. The graphics and set design should reflect this. I find it funny that last year ITV says they're going "back to basics" and proceeds to give the HMs the most luxurious house to date???
