Due to the decrease in quality of the current series, Big Brother: Timebomb. I've decided to stop watching Timebomb, and will only tune in on Friday Nights for evictions, special shows, and the final.

Instead, I've decided to take a trip down memory lane and re-visit one of my favourite series. The one that went golden, the amazing 2004 summer series, Big Brother 5.

This is my first time ever re-watching this series properly, since it originally aired eleven years back, in 2004.

So far, I'm liking everyone. I've pretty much just judged them based on their VT's, as we've hardly seen much from them on the live parts.

Another thing that struck me after re-watching this for the first time in eleven years is just how professional the show was back then, compared to nowadays.

It was so simple, yet effective. The way they managed to fit in a House Tour, as well as 12 housemates entering, all in just an hour is fantastic.

There was no messing around. Just a quick VT, leave the car, walk through the crowds, enter the house, small live part, and repeat.

I also love how Big Brother used to open the bedroom towards the end of the launch and the housemates would run in, securing a bed. Do they even do that anymore?

Anyway, an amazing launch. Really brings back memories.
Loved the electric atmosphere and buzz the launch had, and that's just by re-watching it.

Can't wait for the Suitcase Nominations tomorrow.
