I haven't seen tonight's episode yet as I'm slightly behind due to exams, but I wanted to write a thread with some quick bullet points on my first thoughts of the season so far.

Housemates are far more diverse than other years and much less 'TOWIE' types, which is really good. For once, I applaud the C5 casting. In addition, the house is just aesthetically perfect. I'm not huge on the whole "Peoples Housemate" twist, however since it has been repeated how Tom is the only HM who will have access to the outside world, at least we can expect less producer manipulation and the tiring 'the public has voted X as the most two-faced!' tasks.

As long as we can evict Kieran, Ellie, Kayleigh or anyone from that crowd in the early days and keep the decent HMs in.. this could be a really great series. But i'll keep my fingers crossed because I remember thinking similar about BB16 pre-4in4out.

My favourite housemates so far; Sukhvinder, Deborah, Hannah, Rebecca, and surpsingly I actually really like Raph/Lotan??
