I’d say they’ve nearly got it spot on with the past 2.

It’s the tasks they need to improve on and less twists which mess with nominations.

Well people's opinions vary. I was disappointed on launch night in 2023 but they turned out to be an excellent cast with the right ones making the final.

Last year was awful for me. Didn't like a single one of them.

But it was like that in C4 & C5 days too. I can trust they pick (mostly) the best ones from the auditions but they can only pick from what's on offer.

Amen. Above and beyond, traditional nominations and public vote evictions are all I've really wanted since ITV rebooted. None of this head of house, veto, save and replace crap.

A little bit more creativity with a new house each series would also go a loooong way.

lol its funny how the head of household power of veto and the replacement stuff is what made big brother usa still on the air and going strong which i guess made it the longest big brother country still on tv in the history of all of big brother

…yeah for sure, I feel as though the housemates are fine and good so far with this new ITV edition…but most of the failings have been in really incredibly rubbish tasks that more have a party game vibe…and also the lack of regular nominations on a weekly (traditional and original…)…basis is something that I love….that anticipation of seeing who is up and why because that also can expose the game players, can’t it..and we love to see a good game played…

[Strictly Jake]

Yeah I definitely agree that nominations and evictions need to go back to how they used to do it. Also make the tasks interesting. Overall apart from that its been pretty good on itv. I liked the outdoor stage they had for interviews for the celeb series evictions. So hope they keep that. Oh and no tacky Countdowns on eviction please, up the tense music instead. And let us see housemates before they are evicted when they stood on their own

[Strictly Jake]

Wonder when we will start getting more information. It starts a week tomorrow. Im thinking Monday?

Last year the full house photos were released just 2 days before launch.

But we had unofficial drone footage of the garden before that. I've checked DJ Audits drone site on Youtube and he's just showing boring industrial warehouses and winding up the security staff.

[Strictly Jake]

New garden pictures have been released. Apparently there is drone footage. Big Blagger has put it on Facebook. Don't know how to go about sharing it but if anyone knows how or indeed can find the actual drone footage please post it on here

It looks a very colourful garden.

[Strictly Jake]

Big blagger seemed to get the footage from this YouTube channel. Its Premier is in 2 hours though
