Did anyone see a programme called something like Joel Must Win? A panel of ‘celebrities’ manipulated a BB-type set up so that an unassuming contestant would win. They could change rules, alter tasks to make him more popular and so on.

It was really interesting to see how these things can make such a difference. It’s worth trying to find it if you haven’t seen it and are interested the dynamics of reality TV.

I am another who doesn't take to anyone at the start. Lily is doing my head in though! From what I have seen so far, not many of them can string together a normal sentence.

Yes watching and will follow this thread .

I am dipping in and out.

Lilly the noisy one would drive me loopy, I wonder if she has ADHD or similar, of course she could just be an attention seeker…

When BB started years ago I really loved it .... especially the one with Josie Gibson! But not so keen now. I too will watch the Celebrity one.

Not watching for the same reason I wouldn't watch Joe public dancing on Strictly...only interested in watching Celebs... as long as they're celebrs we've heard of...

So do I, but as that's not on, I'll have to make do with the ordinary one grin

No, not watching. I prefer the ‘celebrity’ one.

Lily is very irritating, too.

Also. If they were banned from saying 'Oh My God' on pain of eviction it would be an excellent task - it seems to be 70% of everything they say.

Join in if you catch an odd one, rafichagran?

LadyGaGa we will find out soon what the deal is with the storage area. I don't usually watch the after show, so if they've revealed all on that I don't know about it.

Enjoy this series everyone. I will not be watching this time, but will be back in January fie the celebrity one.

Agree on all points Doodledog! The first few days are just a cacophony of screaming and talking over each other. I agree that Rosie and all her ‘oh my god!’s is very annoying. I like the young blond girl with the silver dress, and the young disabled footballer seems nice. Looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds.

Is anyone watching?

I never like the housemates in the first few episodes as they squeal too much, but apart from that they don't seem too bad this time.

The twist about the storage area has potential.

The girl who went in first (Rose?) is going to annoy me by keeping her mouth open in faux surprise. It's obviously fake and I want to tell her she'll catch flies if she does't close it.

Any more thoughts?
