Well the CBB7 launch was very OTT, camp and theatrical all tying in with the 'hell' theme ... what should they do for BB11? It would be a shame to revert to housemates getting out of the car, through the crowd and up the stairs.

LadySovereignFTW · 19-01-2010, 12:01 AM

They should be parachuted in.

BB11UK · 19-01-2010, 01:19 AM

I agree, but I'm not sure what would be the best idea. They changed it from a car to a van in BB9, but I agree it should be something bigger.

Hmm...what about a small lift that takes them down the floor (click on the link to see what I mean http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok14p9BHsSc).

Completely agree. It's so pathetic and immature when you make threads and people leave stupid answers.

And it's always the same people as well.

I like it when they get out of the car and take a long walk in.. I don't want them to meet Davina before they go in..

They could get dropped off in a red bus? lol

Arneldo · 21-01-2010, 01:14 PM

If should be Davina in the studio with a small crowd, with no crowd outside. Davina does her usual job with announcing who's next, and giving us little bits of info as the housemate exits the car the walks into the house with no crowd outside.

Beastie · 21-01-2010, 01:16 PM

Or the housemates should be at the back of a red bicycle that takes them to the carpet.. lol

Smithy · 21-01-2010, 04:43 PM

I think it should be something to do the theme of a series.
or maybe walking down a staircase from somewhere, onto the main stage then into the house

I agree, in an ideal world. Won't happen though!

CBB had the best launch show in years though - so be a bit cheekier with the intro vids and give the crowd more reasons to cheer than boo. Keep the music (they should have kept that for the evictions too) and basically make it a slick production as it was a couple of weeks ago, and as it certainly wasn't for BB10.

Not too bothered either way if the cars return - don't really think it would make a huge difference.

That would be so boring!!!

That's like the BBUS entrance. They have no crowd for entrances/evictions and it just looks lame!

Captain.Remy · 22-01-2010, 04:16 PM

Helicopters + music + huge crowd + different stairs.

Perfect.

Not at all because it takes the focus away from the crowd reaction and on to the housemates reaction, making it far more intimate. Look at last night's eviction announcements - any suspense absolutely ruined by the idiots outside the house chanting "Get Stephen Out".

Yes, a good crowd can really add to the atmosphere, but a bad crowd can put a huge dampener on things - and for too many years the BB crowd has done just that.

The housemates would have no idea what the public think- for example in BB7 when Lea was booed on the way in, she went on about it for months. And if someone is cheered, they might believe the hype. Plus it leaves a bit of a mystery for the viewer and allows them to make up their own mind

If done properly it could be really good

ButterflyGirl · 23-01-2010, 11:40 PM

They should arrive in helicopter's ! lol

BB11UK · 24-01-2010, 02:29 AM

I'm actually really liking the idea of the helicopters. Although can you imagine all the banners held up by the crowd - it would be like a scene from Twister! haha.

Smithy · 24-01-2010, 02:32 AM

On the back of a motorbike which drops them off right at the bottom of the stairs which lead into the house

BB9 did that when they put in Stuart, Belinda, Maysoon and Sara and it didn't really work.

Brekkie · 24-01-2010, 01:26 PM

The concept of the show is people are "cut off from the outside world", and having a crowd of 1000 directly outside the house doesn't really help that myth - that's why the bridge worked so well at Bow, there was a clear divide between the house and civilisation!

Launch would work just as well without the crowd, but they'd need to make the front of the house a bit more impressive - effectively give it a front garden, or something much more hi-tech.

Joe. · 24-01-2010, 01:57 PM

Drop them all from a crane, however I do like the idea of the VT's being shown and then they don't walk through crowd, four of them are in a suspended cage in the garden and the hm's have to only pick 1 to release. (IAC sorta like?)
