Why is Rylan featured so much?

I don't think it's all that similar to the BB13 promo, actually. I mean, they share the theme of picking contestants for a competition, but that's all really.

I think its really similar. Its all about game playing (BB13 had the same theme with the Olympics) and the fact its set in a stadium again?

Its just like another version of it.

Yeah, I agreed that they share themes, but I think the adverts themselves are very different. I definitely appreciate where the comparison comes from, but BB13's was more light and bubbly, with the clips of contestants being "trained" with shock suits, fake tanning, the upbeat music, etc. Even the stadium was different, this one is set in a Dystopian environment, rather than a generic sports stadium like place. This has funny elements and is definitely meant to be a but of fun, but is more pulled back I feel. This one is also more explicitly geared towards a strategy-based series. I do think they intended BB13 to be like that in the early weeks, but the advert just reflected a competition without the game-play thing specified.

But yeah, it is definitely like another take on the theme of choosing contestants for a competition. I much prefer this one, to be honest.

Oh, something I forgot to add in my earlier comment. I'm so glad that Marcus didn't do the "contestant selected, contestant selected" thing. And I liked his voice-over, too. See, I don't dislike Marcus, I just don't like the times they decide to make him completely OTT.

OMG you're so right I didn't even notice Marcus' voice and I despise his voice these days just re-watched and its very toned down.

Im glad they used a robotic voice for the picking of housemates sounds like the old days when a monotone voice would say "Nikki you have been evicted, please leave the big brother house".

I hope seeing as this years BB is all about technology the whole BB voice interacting with the house will be robotic especially on evictions please no more Marcus shouting "PLEASE LEAVE THE HOUSE IMMEDIATLEY!!!"

JUST SHUT UP! lol

A step in the right direction.

Definitely! It just doesn't sound right, having Marcus do the eviction announcement thing. I know I say it all the time, but it's one of C5's changes that I really dislike. I loved how it was done on C4, a BB voice repeating "____, you have been evicted, please leave the Big Brother House" a few times, calm and emotionless. Just that one change has drained so much atmosphere from the evictions.

And even though I admit I'm perfectly fine with Marcus when he's toned down, I still wouldn't want him doing the announcement in a more reigned-back manner. It should be Big Brother telling the housemate to leave the Big Brother house, not the show's narrator.

The "contestant selected" thing really reminded me of the old BB evictions.

Watched it back, nice ad but where's the theme music? they just NEED to put it on other channels right away... Otherwise we'll have a situation where there is no hype at all
