Launch would work just as well without the crowd, but they'd need to make the front of the house a bit more impressive - effectively give it a front garden, or something much more hi-tech.

Bow wasn't that great though, the housemates could still hear the crowd (they were allowed out of the front door at one point and could see their family members!) and there was a public footpath directly next to the garden. I think the current house is in a better location, but I think the BB4 set up was the best with the gates etc and the crowd behind them with a huge gap between the bottom of the stairs and the crowd. I mentioned BB4 on the previous page as well, in terms of production I think it is head and shoulders above the rest, the only problem was the housemates!

BB4 was definately the best set up at Elstree. At Bow yes they heard the crowd - but only when the eviction happened, not beforehand - and any noise then was disguised by BB playing music and relaxing sounds into the house, not torturous crowd noise which is annoying enough for us to watch, never mind them.

Interesting you make the point about them seeing their families out the front door too - I remember when watching a BB1 eviction last year thinking how we'd hate that if it was introduced now, but it worked quite well then, and gave the nominees a bit of a lift going into the next week. Davina saying "see you next week" was a nice touch too - but again something we wouldn't like introduced today.

Just thought of an idea for BB11 Launch night.

First Housemate goes in and is directed straight to the Diary Room. Here they are told that they must stay silent while in the DR and will be shown the entrance VT of all of their fellow HMs as they enter.

They will be the first person to walk through the doors, but the last person to enter the actual house, and HMs will just think they're the last one to come in.

This person will then know exactly who the HMs are, what their intentions are and what they're like. As the HMs are all trying to make a good first impression by being nice and trying to fit in with everyone, the first HM will know the true side to them.

Nice idea, but I don't really like twists where the producers single out a contestant before the HMs have even entered the house (i.e. John on Celeb Hijack).

Yes that would be Special.

They drop down with a Trained gider.

They could do pre tests - to get it right


And it would hit the World News as a First
for a Big Brother.

I agree, that was very unfair on Celeb Hijack.
