Credit where credit is due, there are definitely improvements being made this series production wise. It's not perfect yet but it's a start

- The new set is amazing and I really like the new beds they have for Emma to talk over into the break and when she was introduced at the top of the show, they sound much more professional and tense than the old tacky ones did

- I LOVE the transitions during the highlights (and the smashing glass effect when Emma introduces them as opposed to zooming onto the big screen), probably the best on C5 so far. And the time stamps are nice too. Graphics all round are good for me

- I am really glad they've started to be somewhat more transparent with what's happening. We were told of what to expect twist wise tonight in advance, which is more than can be said for the past few years. This makes it seem less manipulated and more pre-planned, for the first time in a while it seems like they may actually have a schedule of what to do when?

- The rotating stairs are a mess but I prefer them to the bridge

- I actually like the concept of the twist and how it's being executed so far, the voices stick to a script mostly and are stern in explaining it. Despite the fact they obviously know there's two houses and it was idiotic to keep them secret, I like the idea of them swapping/losing housemate status/targeting people so long as it's not just scrapped next week. You built the house for a reason so stick to it for once

- That said, how are The Others supposed to play a game if you're gonna lie to them too and put the people they evicted in with them? The point is they need to know what they're doing, it's no point lying to them too or where's the game? How is the game changing?

Few negatives:

- Marcus seems to have been scaled back and toned down a lot which he must be fuming about but WILL YOU TELL HIM TO SHUT THE **** UP on evictions. I swear he was worse than usual tonight

- Learn to control the housemates FFS. Screaming at them to leave the house or everyone will face severe consequences, telling them to sit down a hundred times, telling Chelsea to 'move away'. It's an embarrassment

Anyway yeah things are looking good for the most part so kudos I just really hope they don't ditch the twist a week in or spoil the series with some ridiculous stunt like 4In4Out in a bid to chase falling ratings
