[Shaun]

[JohnnyBB]

aslongs as sharon powers and PEJ have nothing to do with the show itll be safe, it will be nice haveing a new younger creative dierector willing to take risks and not sitting on his fat arse, thats what we need!

I feel sorry for the people auditioning for it, Channel 5 don't have the funds like C4 did. Plus like someone else said, who actually watches Channel 5? It's ratings are always lacklustre. It's going to look cheap and the tasks will be crap. It's funny how people think C5 will end up luring big names for the Celeb Version, they blew their budget on buying the show. I can see them sticking with the silly gimics from BB11 too, like music on evictions and getting the housemates to perform for the crowd. Just let it die already.

Not all of us auditioning want there to be millions of viewers. I want the experience. PERIOD!

In fact im slightly worried there would be millions and millions of viewers!!!

And Channel 5 HAVE the funds.

They have all the means for great tasks and a great house.

Oh and btw they had music on evictions in BB2 aswell so its not just a new cheesy gimmick.

There is this attitude in the UK which has it that BB is a type of program where people who want attention try and beg for it.

And you can blame BB itself for fueling that, picking that type and even juicing them up for it,
but,
you are right that for a lot of people this is about a fascinating, difficult, surreal, emotional and psychological test. They want the challenge to shyness or fear of public exposure.

I enjoyed BB MUCH MORE when that was actually the sort of central 'theme' or 'test' of the whole thing - can ordinary folks even tolerate fame and notoriety?
Will they crack from the pressure? Shrink? Come out of their shells? Is it even fair or 'moral' to watch them?
Admire them for giving up all privacy?

But if you mention BB in the UK you probably get the response "Oh ya a bunch of undeserving fame-seeker wannabe etc etc"

But again.. maybe BB is to blame for that when they make a point of finding those.

oh my god

[bbfan1991]

Makosi was so outrageous.

[the_last_remaining_fan]

There's basically 2 months to go and still no sign of even a bloody presenter...the mind boggles.

[Judas]

Yeah, I think even if it's a f--king amazing series, an August to February run will basically annoy the biggest fan. It will be like 7 months... shoot me.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

If you wanna see where BB all began and the real social experiment everyone wants back.

Come and watch the original Big Brother in the bb1 forum.

Will be posting an episode per day.

Launch and episode 2 are up now.
