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.

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

The countdown, music montages and heavy use of 3D graphics have to go. It's just too much stimulation. Remember in the early days we'd get a brief clip before the titles with "coming up..." in the corner? Simple, built anticipation. Now we get an exaggerated Marcus huffing through the TV with a montage featuring Spotify's top 50 playlist blasted at us.

Each act of the highlights starts with the top 50 playlist continuing. Just doesn't hit.

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.

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

Looking forward to it, fingers crossed we'll get a good series and some interesting characters, The series last year was enjoyable, I know the glory years of Big Brother are long gone but it's great that it's still around for us to watch

Very true

There is a new sponsor ive noticed from the advert. Mr Vegas now rather than Ebay. Thank goodness we won't have those annoying ads anymore, although who knows what the Mr Vegas ads will be like

[Ammi]

…it’s really so annoying that BB, Celebrity Traitors and MAFS UK are all clashing with each other, I’m not sure if that’ll impact the ratings for any of them at all but I don’t want to be a slave to reality TV in watching on catch-up…so I might have to make a choice to put Celebrity Traitors on hold and then binge the completed series…but very annoying to compete so many popular reality series…
