The changes introduced last Celebrity Big Brother (speedy editing on the nominations, task montages) were fine, though elements new to this series haven't all worked, like the daft pre-titles teasers where Marcus Bentley is forced to speak like a Daily Star sub-editor ("CAOIMHE GETS FRISKY!!!!"). Davina revealing who's safe one by one isn't much fun for reasonably savvy viewers who keep up on betting odds, either - revealing that Dave wasn't going tonight (is it late enough to say "last night" yet?) all but gave away that Ben must be, deflating tension rather than increasing it. Although the few viewers this is applicable to had probably already sought out TwitPic spoilers from the eviction crowd and posted their outrage and/or delight on every internet forum they could find by that point.

As for "putting loads of non-HMs in" - I'd normally disapprove but the 'Ignore the Obvious' task was genuinely entertaining until the inexplicable appearance of "Jedward". It hasn't descended to Celebrity Hijack's level quite yet.
