Hi fellow TV fourm peeps. It's back! The origonal reality TV Show. What do I think,.. well what a load of tossers they have chosen! I don't like any of them (yet) , the house is a put off to anyone, and the chickens have gone! I was excited about the launch, but nowt any more., I can't even watch it, it is that bad. I was so like the biggest fan of the show until it these bunch of people walked in last night. It's like they were the re-jects or were grabbed from the street to be last-minute contestants! Sorry, but I won't be watching the show this season. No disrespect to Davina and Dermot, I think they are great, but reality TV has kinda fallen ontop of itself and has gone a bit too far with all the other shows we have had on recenlty. Must say, that they had a bit of sound problems when it started, not that I am interested, but C4 did'nt even apologise after the show ended.

Wow! What a beginning. It all began so well for the housemates, but hey, it's all gonna change tonight Twisted Evil

My early fave is Kitten, she could prove to be a bit controversial, but I don't like Marco, he seems to be a bit nuts.

Agreed boringusername, but then again BB viewers aren't the most learned types so let them have their cake and eat it, but I think I'll watch the news. (It's great for 12-17 age group though).

i'd go as far as to say, the bloke is a superficial and false tw*t. all his 'oh my god' screeching is such an act. i'm sure it will wear off as the series progresses (if he doesn't get booted out first, that is)

I see E4 have brought out the great "why the dips in sound" public information film from last year, done in the style of a workman's health and safety manual. "If their uncle Bob likes wearing women's clothing, it may be true but he has the right for it not to be mentioned on national television".

Oh dear - E4 text message aston is upside down Very Happy


Yes for the first few minutes of the E4 live coverage programme the text message aston was fozen at the bottom of the screen, then it switched to the top of the screen and upside down! It eventually disappeared and hasnt been seen since!

Me thinks its broke and Channel 4 wont be making all this money out of it until it gets fixed! awwwww Twisted Evil

I dont really like the TalkTalk sponsorship adverts either! Bring back the BT Flies!

Once again the dips in the sound and the long shots where you can't see anyone completely ruin the 24 hour coverage and make it a complete waste of pulling all the usual programming from E4.

If the producers are going to be so spineless (and I'm not saying they shouldn't be) and pull the sound/vision every time someone says "arse" then it really isn't worth showing it 24/7.

I noticed on BBLB yesterday they brought on a text banner, and it was stuttering like hell so gave up on it after a couple of seconds.

On a sidenote, was it just me or were there quite a few cameras doing a very low framerate thing (as HMs entered the house).
Felt like the filmic look fad's extended here too Confused
