I think this is a more interesting selection of housemates than last year’s.

I think that this is better than the last series that I watched fully (the Lewis F one.)

You were right it has ended pretty quickly.

Division is conducive to promoting enmity. It takes less time than allowing mutual detestation to develop organically., as it did last year.
In 2023 it took quite a while for the mutual detestation that eventually defined the two groups to emerge, as they engaged in the charade of being the best of friends at the beginning. On day one they loved each other, wouldn't say a bad word about anyone but swore eternal love and fealty to the very housemates they eventually hated with a vengeance,
By creating an instant divide, Big Brother has speeded up the process of introducing fear and loathing (not in Las Vegas).
Sit back and marvel at the gorgeous butterfly metamorphosing into a rancid dung beetle.
Let the skunkfest begin.

If they want strife they should have just had them pick who loses their make up/suitcase/cannot nominate/has to nom f2f or done the task where they pair up and have Lily/Sarah or Emma, Daze/Nathan etc

…I was also just thinking about one of the main things that the new look BB is missing for me…not in terms of launch but the daily house interactions and events and dramas etc…?…we used to get teaser snippets several times during a day so that we had lots of forum discussion points…sometimes we’d heatedly debate all day……and then see later in the HL show that the snippet had slanted something but then we were shown the fuller context etc…I feel that we’re a little starved of that now and in forum terms/discussion terms, it was a big factor…

I can't even remember last years first week, that probably confirms you're right
