Default Back to basics?

The new series seems promising with a Channel 4 esque eye and promise for a social experiment with fun tasks and hidden experiments. Politicians to performing artists.

Do you think the show is going back to basics?

I want back to basics so bad but i think it just a re-skin. Looks great but in reality its just the same with a fancy new look.

If they do go back to basics i think its something that needs to be showcased during the summer civilian BB more then the celeb version. The celeb version can get away with being more out there then the civil.

I agree, the show has lost its rep, its kinda funny but the from a fans point of view it kinda isnt. You tube is not a career i am so fussy when it comes to that site. Its unemployed people that cant be bothered to work, people who have nothing better to do then talk about themselves all day. I will not have someone say to me that youtube is a career, it isnt trust me i have worked my whole life its not a career.

I like CBB how it is.

It's only their civilian that could do with back to basics to sort out the rot.

CBB is MEANT to be OTT, since more people watch it obviously...
BB19 should go back to at least BB12-BB14 format, normal nominations almost every week...sometimes completely B2B can be boring...

Chickens, vegetable patch and Mangle all to return. Along with no outside information and the diary room entries to be private. And cut out the crappy music from the edit.

I predict they'll say it's back to basics, then throw in a "who said what" task to shake the foundations of the house forever on Day 2

Yeah, but there's nothing else to do in the house but swap life stories with the strangers you're put with.

Don't be so naive noones interested in anyone else but themselves when they talk it's all about themselves getting airtime for themselves.

Anyway I think for civilian bb the perfect mix is back to basics and twisted bb a cross between bb1,5 and 14.

I'm not being naive. Yes, they're narcissists but there's also nothing to do in there but talk so it's kind of encouraged.

Not to mention the best part of proper old school BB was watching them chat sh*t on live feed.
