Default TERRIBLE launch

Absolutely dreadful launch

Terrible presenters

Terrible twist

Terrible housemates on the whole. Far too young

3 of the most intriguing characters are up for the chop

I’m so sad it’ was so bad

I like AJ & Will.

The twist was crap.

The right 3 are up.

But the rest aren't that great.

Imagine emulating one of the worst series. Such a bold and maverick approach that's demonstrative of only true genius.

I switched off since I wasn’t feeling it. I’ll catch up with tomorrow’s highlights.

I must say, love ITV for bringing it back to our screens, but it’s obvious the amount of effort they’re putting into the franchise. It’s just so… mediocre at best, and that’s coming from someone who absolutely loved Big Brother during its original run and never missed an episode. I’m not sure who their targeted demographic is now or what they’re trying to do with it, but it needs a new set of producers (or the OG producing team - Paul Osborne, Phil Edgar-Jones) and new host to give it some TLC.

Optimistic it might turn around, but the launch was so lackluster it’s hard to believe this show is set to continue for the foreseeable future.

I enjoyed it. Quite a diverse bunch of housemates. Really want to know who left.

None of this is encouraging.

At least they all seem pretty normal which is what everyone wanted, apart from Elsa, not liking that there is just one over 30 person yet again, what is it with the one token over 30

…Elsa, do you mean because she’s a TikTok/influencer…?…in the media it’s reporting that she isn’t the only one, though…it’s reported that Emily is a social media influencer and is also a regular political contributor on TV news outlets such as GB News and Talk…and Zelah is also a social media/transgender influencer…

…well, allegedly and apparently as written by the DM, anyway…I was looking for a nice Elsa launch pic to post in her fan thread and I saw the article that all three were influencers …obviously we knew with Elsa…

I quite liked the launch.

On paper, it looks a good mix of housemates although I was only impressed a bit as to half of them.
However it's impossible to judge on that few moments of seeing them.

The twist spoiled the launch and not revealing who has gone was rather pathetic.
However it's great to have it on again.
