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.
