I don't care what anyone says

I loved the twist

It was a brilliant opportunity to allow the housemates to show their true colours

The stakes are higher

BBie more ruthless

Even the house feels more channel 4

The entire series is starting to feel very classic

Love it

No.

It feels like the complete opposite.

Drew. · 15-05-2015, 10:09 PM

Agree with you there ellie

MB. · 15-05-2015, 10:09 PM

I agree. I don't get the reaction to this twist when we've seen countless little twists like this before.

Jay. · 15-05-2015, 10:10 PM

I agree, I'm personally enjoying it so much, it feels so fresh and fun compared to bb15.

This really, it's not really any different from what we've seen before.

It's been great so far imo.

JoshBB · 15-05-2015, 10:11 PM

I personally think it was really good, some people will never be pleased.

It was ultimately pointless and underwhelming, but that's all. It didn't make me angry or anything, because it didn't change anything. It just left me feeling "Oh, okay". Twists that have huge negative effects are much worse (BB13's White Room and BB15's finale pass spring to mind).

Of course, I'd like any future "timebombs" to actually be more exciting, but I can deal with this one.

As a whole, I'm enjoying this series a lot so far. I just hope they don't meddle too much and kill it.

Gstar · 15-05-2015, 10:13 PM

I'm liking it so far but not a patch on channel 4

RichardG · 15-05-2015, 10:13 PM

I was in agreement up until tonight. A thoroughly underwhelming twist and face to face nominations. It felt exactly like Channel 5 to me.

I do like the housemates and highlights shows so far though so hopefully they continue in the same direction and BB doesn't try to manipulate too much in the coming weeks.

Jamesy · 15-05-2015, 10:13 PM

Yeah I agree it feels like classic Big Brother

I wasn't a fan of the twist (just because Jack stayed) although the twist itself was good and an interesting one

Jason. · 15-05-2015, 10:31 PM

I made a thread about this earlier, and I agree.

I think they've learned from their mistakes of BB15/CBB15.
I mean they still thrive of twists, but they've stopped meddling and the last four days have been very calm and natural.

Even 4 days in BB15/CBB15 there were arguments and divides forming.

Even the mini arguments are natural which have taken place so far, and they seem to make up afterwards.

If BB16 carries on like this, I can see it replacing BB13 as my favourite C5 series.

Sometimes less is more.
The ratings are horrendous though.

But, TBH it's C5 BB, and it's been renewed for another three years, plus I doubt BB will ever get 2M.

So, as long as it stays above 1.5m, it's great in my eyes.

I've been enjoying it so far (apart from tonight's twist), but I'm not really getting a C4 vibe from it. It still feels like a C5 series to me, which is fine.

reece(: · 15-05-2015, 10:49 PM

I thought so until tonight's shenanigans.

Wobbleflop539 · 15-05-2015, 10:53 PM

Taking the prize fund down to zero was a stupid idea although they would have given the housemates the chance to earn it back later down the line.

This.

In some way I'm happy the twist ended up such an anti-climax, keeping the harsh unnatural drama out of this house - giving them a chance to blossom and show their true colors (for better and for worst) just by sharing the same house. Heres for friendships and rivals forming naturally!

Jack_ · 15-05-2015, 11:07 PM

It's not often we agree but we do here, I was going to make a thread on this too at some point

Very C4 esque cast, the house on camera feels very C4 as well even though it's not a huge layout change and the execution of the twist tonight felt less tacky than it usually is on C5 and also their reactions (especially Harriet and Jack being visibly nervous) reminded me of the old days when Big Brother could do that as well

Loving it so far

Fetch The Bolt Cutters · 15-05-2015, 11:09 PM

the twist was good but instead of the car they should have just offered him 1/3 of the prize fund

that way the winner would still get the 100k (which is the usual amount anyway) and we would have got rid of jack

crazycolaist · 15-05-2015, 11:10 PM

Didnt like the twist but production has got a lot better.

Jason. · 15-05-2015, 11:16 PM

I love how they do the twists in the garden.

Gives me BB7 vibes when all the housemates were sat outside and Aisleyne had to pick a ball to determine which Golden Housemate would enter.

And the legendary Get Grace out Chants!

Jason. · 15-05-2015, 11:19 PM

Come to think of it that twist wasn't really a twist.
It didn't affect the house dynamics at all. I'm glad in a way, as I love the atmosphere that's currently present in the house and I don't want it to change.
