I was mentioning comments on here to my sister and she pointed out that Jenkin only got ‘some’ of his suitcase back - in the stay in bed task. I actually can’t remember if she’s right or not but would explain the lack of outfits 😂

Didn't they win him some back in another task too? It was a box of his stuff and they were pretending they hadn't won it, and his it in the bathroom, but the house were watching the task on the big screen so knew they had won it!
Was clearly a very exciting and memorable task that one!

The task where they all stayed on the big bed, wasn’t it Kerry won it him back by leaving?

Oh yeah you could be right! such a thrilling task 😂 This series is 😴😴😴😴😴
 
Caught live stream for the 1st time last night. I forgot how insightful it was to the real dynamics and friendships. I dipped in and out and never saw Kerry, where was she? Bed? Olivia has a few people sussed out, Nimrum being one. She's grown on me after that obnoxious kick off the 1st night.

What really struck me was how safe it's all become..... a little stilted even. Saturday night live and Noki, Henry etc discussing university courses. 🎓🙄
This is a sign of the times, not sure if it's entertainment though. Quite a lot of conversation around plans post bb, how production works, impact of editing, original bb etc. They are ALL very aware of the impact and all playing safe. Which is makes it a little dull. 😴

Above all they they are too comfy and pandered to but again society and fear of cancellation or complaint for housemates and ITV has brought us here.

Overall I am enjoying it, huge fan of the original concept and the casting this year I thought great. I just don't feel we are seeing enough of their natural interaction, it's all tasks. Let's see interaction, conversation. Editing is mixed standard, are they deliberately missing stuff? Live feed shows you more of what big brother is, a human social experiment.

Big bug bear, that late and live rubbish. Put the interview on the main show so we don't have to watch it. Interviews are too short as it is without two poor presenters with no cohesion. It's a dire programme, rubbish interaction with studio audience, terrible and repetitive panel members. AJ lovely in other things but bb? No. She's a terribly wooden presenter with awkward skills. She's just a clothes horse in my opinion. I liked her in other things but she looks like an amateur in this. I'm still making up my mind about the guy, is he any better? Maybe himself but please no for next season. Get rid of them both. I don't think they have any chemistry to work together and it's shouting out from the screen. Again he doesn't have the energy for bb and he appears disinterested but he does try with AJ. I don't even know his name, I care that little. 🤣

I like her in other things but she's poor in this. Amateurish. I don't think she's comfortable or rehearsed. The chemistry with the other presenter is poor on both sides. To me she always looks as if she's panicking about the next bit and not focusing on replies in interviews etc and I'm sorry but she needs to improve her autocue skills and be more relaxed. BB is a fluid format, she sticks badly to script but this could be ITV management and not AJ. She certainly doesn't look comfortable for some reason and to me is scraping through each episode looking amazing but we need more than a beautifully dressed presenter.

I doubt any of the presenters could manage anything unruly of 'off script' in the live show, you can see panel members and housemates expressions when they expect a different reaction from the presenter.

Great post, all day long as they say,
I don’t watch the live feed but can you elaborate a little on Olivia sussing Nimrun out, I reckon I have and want to know if Olivia thinks the same.
Do they show much of the world’s most boring “love triangle“ .. Hallie [said she] wasn’t aware of it so why we getting it pushed down our throats at the expense of seeing other stuff…. I know you don’t know the last bit but it’s soooo boring, the fact that ‘body language expert Judi James’ finds it interesting and fascinating has me thinking she [Judi] gets paid for this 🙄

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but in no way, shape or form can she be thought to be doing a good job, surely? I watch it through my fingers! She forgets what she's asking mid-sentence, there are prolonged silences where she can't think what to say next, she doesn't appear to be concentrating on what people are saying and follows it up with something irrelevant. She's so painful to watch and, dare I say, she's a bit thick!

I couldn't stand the over-exposure of Holly W and I got a bit fed up of the over eagerness of Davina but if you compare their presenting, or that of Rylan or Emma to AJ they're world's apart!

I agree she is absolutely shocking and that Will Best isn't a whole lot better, a tad more professional when he presents alone.
The show is a monumental disaster. Shades of George Lamb and that woman Zezi ... :eek:

As an aside, why does nobody ever mention Brian Dowling? It's like he has been airbrushed out of BB history.

The person with the title “Discerning Interviewer” was at lunch when they interviewed Zee Zee 😉

No I can’t agree she was originally on this with Rylan and was just as bad then she left and Rylan just did

Aj was originally on with Rylan when it first came back on channel 5 for whatever reason she left show but I recall her being just as poor on it then it’s funny noone has even mentioned fact she did it before aswell but the bloke on this is just as bad they just don’t ask the right questions to the people who are on or get the audience passionate enough to want to actively give their opinions on things it’s like they have to force people to say something by literally shoving a mic in their face at times🤣
 
It’s never going to go back to the original concept because the world has changed so much since then. That innocence is long gone. Reality TV was completely new and no one has any idea what to make of it all, remember the original housemates not only used to wonder if anyone was actually watching the show, they also didn’t know what the theme tune sounded like and when Nasty Nick left and Claire replaced him they kept trying to make he slip up and tell them how it went. We just have to accept that this is probably the best we’re going to get, and this series is still better than any C5 civilian one IMO. The fact the final and the next CBB is going to be shown on ITV1 is massive. I‘d quite like them to bin off the dire Dancing on Ice and put CBB on right after Xmas like it used to be. CBB on ITV1 could be a huge hit. With their budget and casting it will do very well I think.

Well I can’t agree either 🤷‍♀️ it’s just different opinions that’s all

Caught up. I liked Hallie in the BBLL and really felt for her. Noky is pissing me off, she’s so righteous and walks like she has a pole up her arse.

Yeah Noky fans wonder why people aren't fond of her, but she doesn't do anything that's funny or interesting. All the focus is on her looks and how pretty she is, which is a damning indictment on a show where housemates need to be more than just pretty or good looking.

Possibly controversial but I do find it amusing that a fair bit of her pageant stuff is about fighting or discussing the expectations on how women should present themselves. Yet she then goes and apparently puts on makeup whenever she goes to the diary room and is obviously a part of the pageant world which has very very high standards to begin with

I fully understand that for many women makeup is a confidence boost and something they enjoy. I just find it all a bit ironic
