The launch itself was really good, like the layout and how it was done, but the actual housemates appear to be awful from first impressions.

The profiles seemed to include some great potentials in the shortlist, however what we have seems a mess, but it is only Day 1 and Im sure people will grow on me, I hope anyway because I do love BB and it would be a shame to end on a bad series..

The lights were good, and that but the housemates picked ruined it.

How do you know? They've been in there for three hours!

[MrGaryy]

fantastic launch imo.

[LemonJam]

When they release the housemates beforehand it's obvious not everyones gonna be happy.

I'm personally gutted that Allister didn't make it, but hey, bring on what these guys have to throw at us

The concept was great, it was fresh and innovative and fun for the last series.

It was just let down by Davina's obvious nerves and therefore mistakes;
as well as poor director execution and vision mixing: i.e. the 'impossible task' VT not showing, the audio through the VT's messing up etc...

All that aside though, it's clear they tried their absolute best! The effort was definitely there

obviously seeing potential housemates has meant that people wanted certain people.

I didnt see the line up until the launch and im not everly keen on the people they have put in there, but that tends to be a good thing IMO, the housemates i've liked on launch such as BB8 tend to end up a naff series

[PooBay]

I wouldn't say it was a disaster...just a bit of an anti-climax.

[arsenalforever]

it wasn't great but it wasn't bad either
for me it isn't about the opening its what they do in the house is all i care about

[Stu]

It was fresh and different. Everything BB needs to be right now. No wonder BB is on it's back. Change one little thing and people go apeshit. It NEEDS change.

And how can anyone judge the housemates yet? It's early days. I personally think they are a great bunch of the mostly ordinary. If you want to watch people with mental conditions or some braindead loudmouths fighting I'm sure you can seek out BB7 somewhere or some American Reality TV shockfest.

I thought it was done really well. I didn't feel it was rushed at all, and at least they didn't seem to drag it out which they could have done. I mean the whole purpose of the show was to get the hms into the house and that's what they did.. without to much of a kerfuffle

Yes, exactly.. they're in there now. Let the fun begin! Yay!

[Speedster]

I agree, it wasn't good. When I turned it on I though "hey! they filmed it this afternoon", but maybe that was just a effect of all the lighting;it just didn't seem live.

A pretty low key affair really, but then who cares? it's the last one so they may be thinking "why bother?". I disagree about BB10 though, I think it was the best one since the first one, I suppose it just boils down to different people wanting different things from the show.

pretty much what he said

[Chels]

The HMs are all *****ing sh*t except for Nathan.

[fuzzylovin]

One thing i have to say i disliked was the music that was played as they went into the house, so silly.

[Jase]

Launch was awesome only let down was the house tour yes it was rushed

The beginning when davina came out of the smoke was awesome

[Jamesy]

I must say I was hardly excited last night by the show. The new different format was interesting but none of the housemates chosen really stand out to me. Ok, the girls have got that pretty boy John James, what have us men got? Shabby? There aren't really any hot interesting women :P

The house is amazing, the Diary Room was a bit of a disappointment, even Davina sounded disappointed with the new Diary Room chair.

The series could get better, obviously it's only Day One. I really hope that they add some more housemates into the house as the series progresses, but judging by what Davina was saying we won't be seeing any additions
