From the evictee.

What a good idea, hopefully we get some bitchy ones revealing stuff about 1 another!!!

[Niamh.]

Yeah, I love that addition too Jordy

[David R]

I hate it, ruins the mystique and pain of someone leaving. Its meant to be cruel, not like they are going off on a camping holiday! Also ruins the whole point of the 30 second goodbye and the tension of unfinished business.

It seemed ok and different (apparently from the Australian format), the family people there at the eviction seemed pointless though. Brian is better at interviews than before the crowd (where he still makes me cringe) and his catchphrases to the house, if I can even call them that, are not great.

oh i like it

I think this is the first semi-positive post I have seen you make this year

It has the potential to be brilliant.

[Pyramid*]

I think she was mortified that it was shown live.

Brilliant idea, I am loving this evil BB. It's got it going on again.

Rebeckah's will be rather interesting next week

Yeah I agree. It could tell some home truths that turn the game. I bet Rebekkahs (aka Queen Hitler) is a mind blower.

It's a great new feature, I love it.

She is well and truley ****ed if she goes up in a 2 person vote

[Visage]

A brilliant addition to what I thought was a great eviction night.

Possibly. Vote to save will definitely work in her favour though.

Also, I doubt she will be nominated. The guys will follow their penises, and the girls seem to not be able to see through her.

It's a good idea but a blatant copy of the US goodbye messages but changed so that the evictee does the messages.

This BB is not evil lol...Far from it.

BB is the most kind, rewarding and caring its been to housemates ever.

Giving them treats for pretty much anyhting.

I think it's great that at last, after many years, they are getting lots of booze. It will liven things up.

I get the feeling that BB are giving a few treats now to keep them happy and active.

I believe the signs are there though that BB will throw in some curved ball - eg. the golden swimsuit twist and messages from evictees.

Actually, both on the block can say whatever they want before the vote. They do it live and in their faces. There has been some fireworks. Last year this speech changed the game....Andrew...

As I already said though it is apparently copying an Australian idea, the US goodbye messages were done last year.

The problem with those speeches in the American version is that they can tell you who is about to go and so can ruin the suspense.

Yes I'm aware of that, I watch the show. Hardly the same though, in their version the evicted houseguest doesn't get to speak to the housemates again in a VT like Tashie did.

The US goodbye messages have been done for years now, it didn't start last year.

[starry]

Not sure when it started, but it was done last year which is what I said.

Sometimes twists like these can be interesting the first few times and then just become a bit predictable (like the heavenly day thing last year). It might be better to mix these things up a bit, though people might then say it is favouring some HMs over others. The biggest mistake is not to bring back Save and Replace though, that would have added a bit more drama.
