Neither. It's BB's long lost cousin who didn't quite get as "big". But it'll be good enough for channel 5 anyway.

er, bit early to say i guess. but not looking good, & the follow up show is pointless, just like BB big mouth was a waste of airtime.

too early to say

Its pretty much more of the same so I doubt it will gain viewers from what ch4 had. But for channel 5 the ratings may be good enough.

People can do whatever the **** they like. Just because people don't agree with you doesn't mean they are wrong.

Anyway I will have to wait for the evictions/daily shows to judge properly.

Could well be "Desmond's Demise" if the rumour is true that he paid the twins Ł1 million!!

Just taking a wild guess but i think it will be a great series. I can see it kicking off tbh with Paddy and Mr Paparazzi.

Great house, reasonable housemates and a well executed launch show it really is a nail in the coffin just because of the lack of live feed.

The lack of live feed will strangle the show and the forums all we will have on here is people racing to and from the c5 website to be the first to post links to 1 min videos that people have likely already seen anyway.

The highlight show will be good editing but the spin off show crap, hour talking drivel, how can they talk about the last twenty four hours when the audience hasnt viewed for themselves, interview when they come out yes but show everynite no point unless you have live feed to discuss the presenters will know but we wont we will just have hour cut.

Neither. It was no worse than what Channel 4 has given up for the past 5 years or so. Great house. Great women. Decent presenter. Looking good so far.

It's a discussion forum. If you just want a bunch of people licking BB's arse then you're on the wrong website. People have different opinions, deal with it.

No its not a FAN forum. Where does it say that??
It is a DISCUSSION forum about Big Brother and everyone is allowed their opinion because that is what a functioning discussion is about.

Plus the majority joined when C4 aired BB so they can have negative opinions on a new Channel doing it if they like, as are you allowed positive opinions.
