Decent viewing figures would be nice though, so they invest in a few more seasons than the 1 other they’ve already got planned

Bad viewing numbers = axe #3.

They have ticked too many boxes, boxes I never knew existed.
Glad your horizons are being broadened. Here's to many more boxes.

I quite liked that they did that and musical chairs & pass the parcel! It reminded me of the innocence of the very early BB’s, plus it was also a way of setting up little twists such as no hot water, no suitcase, etc - i.e nothing too harsh for the first night but still enough to cause a bit of unrest in the house.

Yeah I liked all that. Something a bit different for the launch show as well.

I've never seen a pre recorded launch before, I guess the plus side of it .....was it cut out all the unnecessary slow bits . I didn't mind the short VT's either ,it just means the housemates need to show their personalities more in the bb house.

Just glad its back!

But not surprised as I think there was confusion with when it was going to air (I first heard in the summer)

And with Strictly, its much more of a terrestrial TV centric show, whereas BB has been marketed as a ITV2/ITVX show, with a lot of emphasis on ITVX - tbh, I'd say ITV are actually embracing the online streaming future of tv a lot more than the other broadcasters

Yeah. Strictly’s a terrestrially marketed show that’s still capable of 10 to 12 million viewers per show but I don’t know if they’ve been getting that high in the past few years.
