Am I the only one that is actually liking the new trend they've started of having themes? I think it's innovative and shows they're willing to try new things instead of just leaving it to rot like C4 did in the latter years. And as Emma said on Paul O'Grady the other day the reason behind it is because after fourteen years there's a risk of the format going stale (I know us hardcore fans disagree but still) and by having a theme it entices new/old viewers in to see how they're changing things up...

I think it's a good thing. Granted Secrets & Lies didn't exactly live up to what it was supposed to but still, hopefully this time it'll last the distance and actually have some proper impact which they've promised it will.

Call it Big Spoiler now

they didn't keep secret that Gina was the favourite

The whole task were they had to rank each other one who was most popular was a travesty

Also, whyw as the posts with the picture in deleted, we were still talking about the series?

Yeah I agree I didn't like the theme for BB14 every week there was a strange lie that got confusing and everybody thinking housemates where moles.

But I am liking the sound of this theme so far tbh not the social media that much but with hints of Power and stuff sounds good, I just don't judge a series before it starts.

Of course knowing who's most popular would make no difference if the public had no control

All revealing who's popular outside does is remove paranoia amongst the housemates. Which is likely to cause less tension.

Yeah I like it too, But I don't want a twist every week.

If they start a twist on Day 1 and it carries on for the whole series I wouldn't mind that

and less arguments

bye

NOO twists make everyone paranoid and ruins the whole show

Let's flashback to Daley's removal when no one believed it

[Daniel.]

I like the idea of them putting in more ruthless housemates and schemers or w/e but like surely that's enough? Just put them in and see them all backstab and lie etc to avoid nomination.

BB6 probably had the most ruthless housemates and they just let them get on with it and it was entertaining all the way through due to watching the likes of Derek and Makosi scheme there way through the game.

There is just no need for twitter and secret houses, it completely destroys the point of the show.

So yeah, the housemate selection sounds good but the twists dont.

That's the best news we have got so far imo

I agree with you really however I've found in recent years housemates have been quite "lazy" in some respects playing the game, alot seem to just want to sail by. At least adding some form of manipulation would entice the game players to step it up a notch.

No secret houses though!

[Maxxie.]

What happened to the theme idea that someone suggested on this site that's like bb5 were they get complete opposite people with complete opposite views to live with each other like chauvinists, feminists, gays, religious, immigrants, nationalists, sluts, assholes & watch the action kick in!!! Big respect to who came up with that, should work for channel 5!!

That's their fault for picking sh*t people

It was daniel-lewis, I was one of the only people who thought it was a good idea (not too extreme though)

[LaLaLand]

Just because they've said they're game playing schemers doesn't mean they are, people say all sorts to get in. At least this encourages some form of stirring.

This would be amazing, it's what I loved about BB5 and 6, people who literally would never, ever cross paths for mostly wrong reasons.

[Ramsay]

How does this benefit anything? like why do it? it's only going to turn off the hardcore fans who lets be honest are the main reason the show is still going

They should hold weekly public polls voting for who is playing the game the least or the worst or whatever and then reveal the results to the house so it'll make the dullards step their game up a bit

But that's them adapting their behaviour to please the public. Also making it obvious to the other housemates that they're faking it because they came last in a poll.

Makes it all the more manufactured and fake like BBUS. I prefer the balance to be more in favour of watching house dynamics grow naturally than game playing tactics. Especially as, with a public vote, game playing is fruitless if you're disliked by the public.

[joeysteele]

I will wait and see what it all entails before I start moaning although I am not keen on what I am hearing even before this series starts.

However unless the new housemates are really daft then whatever BB does,following on from the last 2 series, they should be very wary of whatever BB does and what info seems to relay whether they are popular or not.

If it works out that this lot all end up with more paranoia and question almost everything then it may be more entertaining.
I wait to be convinced and am open to being convinced but how I wish BB would stop meddling so much and I hope noms are left alone more this series too.

Having said that I expect to be disappointed as to the noms process again.
