Does anyone else find it annoying that they dont play the crowd into the house anymore, and instead its all quiet when Davina announces whose being evicted. I liked the fact that the HM's could hear who the public hated, and then they would get all paranoid etc, and talk about. Its not as good when its quiet. It bugs me. lol.

Anyone else?

But equally its going to be great to watch Mario recieve his boo's thinking he's so well liked.... did i say great i meant

No atmosphere but I think its better. One of the fundamental rules of Big Brother is 'no contact with the outside world'. With the crowd in the house its basically undermining that rule. Big Brother might as well call them to the diary room and tell them if they're hated or not.

Some could use it to their advantage to play their game and some people would change. It completely changes the dynamics in the house.

Us BB veterans are also glad its back to how it used to be after the novelty of the crowd

I much prefer it without the crowd being able to be heard.The housemates shouldn't get to know what the public think of them until they're evicted, it just takes away the mystery and the no contact with the outside world rule.

The housemates can just change their behaviour to try and to get the viewers back on their side but they only end up looking fake.I just don't see the advantage to any of them hearing the crowd, they'll soon find out what the public think of them and it makes for all the better viewing if someone smug gets shocked in the end.

Just keep the housemates on their toes with unpredictability.

It wouldve been great for Alexandra to hear her reaction, but its at the cost of contact with the outside world, which inevitably affects people's "games". No contact with the outside world should mean it, I think it's a welcome rule for BB.
