I'm not excited or bothered about the next series of Big Brother. I know it's only just finished but I have been watching Big Brother since Series 5 and after the Celebrity version I always look forward to the civilian series straight after the celebrity one finished. But I just feel meh about it now.

As long as its not filled with recruits, models and z-listers Im looking forward to it, if it is then it'll be a joke just like BB15 was

[Daniel-X]

I'm excited because I think it may be different to other series now that endomol own Channel Five

95% chance they will have loads of recruits
I always think they have only made the prize higher because they haven't had a good amount of applications.

Endemol don't own Channel 5 - they own the Big Brother format. They wouldn't make drastic changes to their own format.

Viacom own Channel 5 and really they won't change anything directly to do with the format of the show, only the scheduling and how it's presented on Channel 5. The format and what happens is in the hands of the producers who have been working on the show for the past 3? years.

They should just go on big brother forums and pick people
I would say yes but I probably walk after a week or two the food situation is the only off putting for me..

I am. The BB15 build up and launch night were brilliant for me. I remember thinking how it felt like old-school BB during the BB15 launch, I just really enjoyed it. Shame the series turned to **** a few weeks in, but my point is that I can still get that excited feeling at the start of the series.

I just hope they leave things alone in BB16, the constant meddling was a big factor in ruining BB15.

This is me watching all BBUK now...

get really excited for launch night... after watching launch night watch every bit of BB religiously, go on forum and discuss it during live show, check out website for updates... two weeks in as format falls to ****, watch the show and read the forums but don''t comment... 3-4 weeks in, watch every couple of days and avoid the parts of TiBB actually discussing the show....
By the final week I don't watch a single episode and I begin to pray they make it stop on the TiBB forum so that people become normal again

You're deep-rooted issue with recruits is really alarming and I can only imagine that it stems from you applying for this show multiple times and not getting anywhere in the casting process. Good luck this year!

First off that's super rude to assume and is totally incorrect. I dislike recruits because in BBUK the recruits they cast seem to predominantly be people who are models/have been in the limelight. I'm okay with the concept of recruits and can see how that adds to the show but when a very narrow type of recruit is cast each time it becomes incredibly boring.

All of BB14 were recruits and that's one of your favourite series tho

Can't Raph just have a opinion without you complaining about it like it's one big problem. He is right most recruits are awful and it makes the civilian big brother look like crap.

They just need to stop with all the twists. BB13 had the least twists and is definitely the best series on 5

They were recruited. Even Wolfy was recruited, and she was a massive fan of BB.

I'm not throwing shade lmao I just don't agree with your theory that recruits make seasons awful.

Toya was recruited and she was a great housemate, as were Gina, Ashleigh, Danielle, Matthew etc.

I will be excited for it and looking forward to watching it however my worry is what nonsense BB themselves will do to another series.

I will really be almost tearing my hair out if they repeatedly fiddle and mess with noms and evictions again,which I am sure they will now.

[Pete.]

I want clarity on nominations then it'll be fléek

[Daniel-X]

I'm excited. But I agree about recruits I don't like the idea the show does open auditions so why should they just go out and recruit people makes no sense to me BB14 however did provide us with some great housemates I just think they need to lay off the recruits if it was two/three recruits I wouldn't mine just as long as not more than half the cast are recruits because it sort of takes away the feel of 'civilian' big brother for me

[Xtopher]

I'm just hoping for normal, real people. No more "I'm a successful business man / Slept with someone famous" bull**** please. I want a good time that unfolds organically, no twist every damn week. But I'm trying hard to lower my expectations.

You have major issues with recruits in BBUS too and nearly every post of yours leading up to a new season is how there better not be a ton of recruits this time > there's nothing inherently wrong with recruits.

So what that he does! It's just his view on things, we all have different views on things but there is no need to be rude to him about it.
