I remember that the first eviction of BB9 was really good. For the whole week there was a whole buzz around it (because of the Wedding Twist). When it was that week, Im sure that all the BB forums were more packed than usual, and there seemed to be an ongoing "Mario or Steph?" battle, everyone just forgot Luke and Lisa. I remember loads of people were excited about that.

Before that eviction, the previous eviction i was excited about was the week Nikki went.

I hope that in this series there is a really exciting eviction where nobody can predict the outcome. And the same for BB10.

It was immense. Nobody had a clue and the viewers really were split. The turnaround was amazing aswell, especially being a Steph fan and seeing that people actually changed their mind on her, and I've said since it happened that had the voting started a day later, Mario would have gone. But yeah, even the bookies had no clue, I remember it being something like
Steph 1/3
Lisa 4/1
Mario 7/1
Luke 33/1

At the very beginning, like just as voting opened on BBLB, and then the next day it was like
Steph evens
Mario 11/10
Lisa 22/1
Luke 100/1

And by the end it was all over the place.

Mario and Steph were both in my top 5 the first week and I knew it would be one of them going, so I wasn't really looking forward to it.

In the early series the evictions were much more exciting.
That is why BB1 remains the best. Can you remember how an evictee would have no idea that there would be a crowd, photographers and a live interview and that their personal lives had been all over the press?
Another big change for the viewer has been the development of sites like this and the polls and betting odds. In BB1 you had no idea who was out until the moment that DM announced the result: now,in most cases, it has all been settled publicly long before eviction night.
