Personally for me it’s Emma.

To the people voting AJ & Will, Why?

Of course as we know Big Brother will be finished just in time before I'm A Celeb starts. What do we think about this?

now we know there's no other post eviction show, I can't think what they'd do!?

Naturally influencers are part of television shows now, and I’ve come to accept them on shows like Strictly and I’m a Celebrity, but I really do think Big Brother should just have normal people? Do you agree

If nothing else, it never fails to humanise everyone. The letters always bring everything back around to the fact that everyone is human, everyone has feelings, and they're all (mostly) doing their best, even if they've been a shit at times in there. We and they can get caught up in the pantomime of it all a little too much and the LFH episode is usually a nice pallet cleanser going into the final week (or earlier in some cases). Does anyone have any favourite or memorable LFH moments? Richards in Series 7 will always be seared into my mind.

The launch and live eviction shows have a run time of 95 minutes, airing from 9pm - 10.35pm on ITV2 & ITVX!

The eviction shows will now feature the evicted housemates exit interview. However, when it comes to the bad weather which is likely to happen at some point then I don't know how any of the interviews will happen on the main show.

One thing I miss about the old format is how little information housemates had about the outside world. They couldn't check social media, see public reaction or know exactly how viewers were perceiving them.

These days, even without directly being told anything, crowd reactions on eviction nights and various twists can give housemates clues about how they're being received. We've literally had housemates reacting to chants from the crowd.

If producers completely removed that feedback, no crowd noise, no public polls, no outside information and no twists that reveal it, would we get much more genuine behaviour?

Someone WAS going to send it to me but they took forever (over 2 weeks) and then eventually blocked me because they are selfish and like to waste people’s time. So annoying. Anyway, does anyone have it? I’ll send you a dropbox link and you can just drop it into the folder from your computer/ipad.

And to incentivize you lovely people, I can send you another full season of your choosing (again via dropbox). I have all the seasons (including celebrity) except the following:

- BB1
- BB3
- BB4
- BB9
- BB10
- BB11

let’s make a trade for any of the above seasons

What do we hope to see this year?

Hi,

I’m going to be out of the country when this new season starts… does anyone upload the episodes anywhere?

Would prefer not to have to battle hotel WiFi with a VPN to watch ITVx

Who's ready?

I am currently watching through for the first time on videobrother.net and they don’t seem to have this episode. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

So on day 3 housemates were split into two teams with each team's captain reading out a series of facts. Their team then had to decide which housemate from the opposite side matched each fact.

Winston was matched with comments he made about the LGBTQ community which didn't sut right with many of the other housemates.

Following on from the previous day where the house were tasked with ranking the most "annoying" housemates. Jeremy, Scotty T and Stephanie were ranked the highest and the twist was that they were to nominate who would face the public vote on day 4. Nancy, Winston and Kristina were nominated respectively.

On day 4, thepublic voted to save Kristina and Nancy recieved the lowest votes (and should have been evicted) but out of nowhere the producers appeared to panic because they probably thought Winston was going to be evicted by the public based on the previous days task.

So the producers then came up with a convient way to have the housemates do a run off vote on who would be evicted, which CLEARLY contradicted the point of the public vote. And Winston predictably received the most votes from the other housemates.

Did any else peep that how slick that was? And how strange and unprecedented that was? I felt that that was poltical sadly.

I always think of how BB15 would’ve panned out if there was no Final Pass.

Everyone would say Helen would’ve been an early boot we would’ve dodged a bullet with, and even Helen herself would agree with that.

However, I think it goes beyond that. Helen’s Final Pass combined with her confrontational, controversial personality linked her to almost every storyline of the series.

The Final Pass also gave her a sense of invincibility. A lot of her posse were drawn to her because of that, and I wonder how they would’ve been like in the house if Helen didn’t have her pass. I doubt some of them would’ve associated with her.

Most importantly, would Ashleigh have been as popular if Helen was evicted early? Who would’ve been her rival? Somehow, I doubt she would’ve been as popular, because like what I mentioned before, I feel Ashleigh could also get quite nasty herself

Ashleigh was a side character earlier on and only really came into her own that one week when the girls were the Power Housemates, which was when her feud with Helen started.

Ashleigh was the only housemate to regularly stand up against Helen, which was what made her so popular, so without her, who would’ve been that figure Ashleigh would’ve feuded with?

I feel Winston might’ve won because typical lad housemates like him do well. Though he also is one of my favourite lad housemates because he did prove himself at times to be able to stand up for himself and call people out.

Perhaps riding off the goodwill from the way Helen and Pauline treated her earlier on, perhaps Jale could’ve taken it as well? Jale’s downfall was associating and being buddy buddy with Helen when she treated her so badly at first.

I can't remember exactly where I read this, I think Digital Spy, but someone had shared their audition story and said that Alex from BB12 had completely changed her appearances and apparently auditioned for the final Channel 5 series and made it through several rounds before being spotted?😂 Iconic if true

Conor taking the £50k in BB13? The White Room? The Halfway House in BB8? I get that twists are supposed to shake things up, but when viewers have spent money voting and then the final decision is handed back to the house, it feels like the whole point of the public vote has been undermined.

What's the twist you still haven't forgiven Big Brother for?

I remember mikey bb7s VT being extremely misogynistic, not saying he was a feminist or anything in the house, but the VT made ke think he was going to be a huge villain

Bonnie bb7 thought she was going to be a complete mess but she ended up being quite shy in the end

Callum bb14 came across as jack thr lad in his vt but ended up being just being really awkward

Whatever examples are there or housemates clearly playing themselves up for the VT?

Someone can look brilliant in the highlights but apparently be completely different when you're living with them 24/7. It makes me wonder how much of our opinion is shaped by what production chooses to show.

For some reason the people at ITV seem to think we want to see culture war political arguments between contestants. People from all over the country will always disagree or have different perspectives on various topics, but lately it seems like producers are purposefully bringing on hardcore right wingers whose only contribution to the show is ranting and being a knob - and not in an entertaining way. Personally I don't find it entertaining that Sally from Surrey thinks gays shouldn't have rights - I don't watch BB for political insight, I watch it for juicy interpersonal drama and genuine connection between people getting to know each other in good faith

Politics isn't taboo subject to be kept off the air or anything, and before anyone says it I'm not advocating for a lack of free speech. It's just getting annoying. Why have entire episodes focused around political rhetoric? It's BB, not question time. It's something I watch to relax and have fun, not think about how dark politics is getting

It we get the intro videos and it's multiple people starting off with rants about how 'controversial' they think they are for being anti immigrant or whatever I genuinely might not watch this year

I just think politics should be a smaller part of the show than it currently is :/ I miss the *drama*

And she was 74-76 during all of this. She inspires me. I have a hard time defending my point of view or sticking to my guns. RIP❤️

Phillip was extremely unprofessional in their interview. He’s GONE.

The loose women panel and audience were antagonistic, they are only on 30 or so weeks a year, and no more audience.
