I noticed this too! They did it on Big Brother's Little Brother credits a few years ago and it puzzled me why it said 'Son of ___ & Daughter of ___' Confused but I understand now it's for fathers day!! Laughing

Was done earlier on BBLB as well. Who says you can't have fun with the credits.

God, I never notice things like that!


Re: On the Couch - skipped it tonight but I do feel Big Brain was better, and Dermot seemed more comfortable doing it.

Content-wise, I don't think 'On the Couch' is too bad - given the material at least. The psych show has always been a load of nonsense with carefully orchestrated segments that only serve to perpetuate whatever storylines they're trying to create, but its problem is it's completely lacking in charisma.

They should just got back to the original format where the psychs would talk during the highlights. I think they were Geoffery Beattie, Judi James, and Amanda someone.

I think the eviction nights should change and not have highlights. A one hour 9pm show, Davina interviews friends and families, some psych talk, housemates making a plea to stay, eviction and then interview.

Yeah, I prefered them in the highlights - though I think it be better off just having one segment in a couple of shows a week rather than having them all in one show.

It's not as if they haven't got time either now the shows are generally an hour long.


Evictions are the weak link - they need to bring back some of the features we had in the first four years (and put Davina back in the studio) so it is an eviction show, not just a highlights show with an eviction announcement tagged on at the end.


And they need to go back to being 100% LIVE - OFCOM seem to be ruining live TV.

Yes, fine to have a couple of minutes delay if it's before the watershed, but afterwards there is no reason for it now the second show is back at 10pm (at 10.30pm they have to be delayed as they have to clear the site by 11pm IIRC).

The eviction show is incredibly stale. The format is just awful. It's highlights then announcement. There's just no excitement, no build up. Eviction shows aren't supposed to be like that. I do think they need to get her back in the studio. Then she can do the walk out after announcing the name. The 'I'm coming to get you' catchphrase is exactly that now, a catchphrase, because it's completely meaningless. She's not coming to get them because she's already standing at the bottom of the bloody steps.

I loved it when she used to walk out and the camera followed her out and they intertwined that with shots of the evictee getting ready to leave. It's not the same now.

I completely agree- it used to be great (even dramatic on BB4) when the screen lifted up and Davina walked out of the studio to the crowd!
