If this turns out to be like the first 2 weeks of BB13 then

More people like Lydia please who are actually willing to play the game

[Daniel.]

It could be like BB6..Makosi and Derek are probably two of the biggest plotters and schemers the show has had and they were both amazing

They better chose the right contestants for this

I agree. I don't want horrible, unsupportable people, but I definitely want people who realize it's a competitive environment and are fine with playing the game. You can approach things in that manner without being a terrible person with few morals, so I hope they don't go OTT in the casting.

Copied from the Youtube feed. What do you think of it?

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.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Love the new ad, that's me well excited now, all we need now is house pics & I'll be a happy bunny, I hope the next 14days fly by.

Scheming and Plotting bit sounds amazing because they are usally the good HM I liked the Housemate selected bit in the advert, but it was all right not as good as BB14 Main advert tbh

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.

[Bluerang1]

Reminds me of 1984 which is good. But Big Brother will never be evil, it's way too lenient now and I don't see that changing sadly.

I think what they are trying to say is that they have got a good cast, full of evil people

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

[Jemal]

Decent ad but theme music should be there

[T*]

Meh

Well said, my opinions exactly.

[Jay.]

I really like it, it's good!
Just hope that the series won't be too based on gameplay like from what I've seen on BBUS, but oh well, I'm gonna watch it either way, looking forward to it ;D

[Glenn.]

Erm was it on at 5?

[Pete.]

Omg what have I witnessed

Just shat myself at the promo

[Rob!]

No Rylan, you may never press the button.

[drantb]

I like the idea of schemers and players - but if they're doing it right, there's no way they can tell. How many times have housemates spraffed on about being "a player" or "i'll play the game to win" and have just turned out to be slightly dull and boring. But I'm sure they'll put in enough twists and turns to MAKE people turn on each other.

As for the advert.. the simplicity of the eye graphic and theme tune trailers of the past really were ahead of their time.

(No I in Team was rather brilliant though)

[Drew.]

That did look pretty epic on TV

[Headie]

It just aired on Channel 5 then!
