Always Watching đź‘€
So some love the new format, some don't.
Some only dislike it because of the way its been pre-recorded and concocted in an edit suite over many months.
We all crave the original era of BBAU but we know we will never get that again.However with what we are presented today, if you had the choice would you rather another 2008 style series or even a Nine era (2012 - 2014) series over what we are being served up today? A series (though Nine broke the Ten mould) that is more genuine or respectful of the old format? I would be really interested to hear everyone thoughts.
Nines era wasn't perfect eg:
To me, personally I would take 2008 over Seven any day even iuf i had to put up with the crap above. Nines era I would rather over Seven if I had the choice of one of the other. Nine's Although Alex M was a bit of a destroyer at times, it did still link in to the original format. However I will be the first to admit in 2012 - 2014 I didin't watch every episode. I lost interest in some period and also got fatigued due to the 90 sometimes 120min eps each night.
Curious to discuss this and memorises of what was good and bad in these series?

Nines era wasn't perfect eg:
- The lack of daylight in the later season into the house which allowed for more timeline manipulation of the day
- Surley (Lol)
- Sonia was pretty bad in 2014. I feel like if she wasn't so heavily pregnant in that series in that year she may have really come into her own, it seemed she really didn't want to be there. 2013 was better in hosting but still not perfect, but hey the woman was allowed to have a Bub!
- Theme songs were pretty average
- The Eviction set in 2014 was pretty lazy no real step up from 2013 (even if they did take @marquisite 's deign idea about coloured LED tubes surrounding the screen)
- Lack of streaming
- The Nomination Booth lol
- Stupid things they forced housemates to do to generate content
- The 2012 and 2013 house were actually pretty damn nice. A real step up in the way they were made and furnished. 2014 was horrible but the Kitchen and Bathroom were great.
- Although long episodes and the fact Nine shoved the show to 8:30pm at night, we did still have a more genuine procedural throughout the series in contract to 2020 **this is the big stand out thing from Nines era in comparison to Sevens**
- Some great housemates were chosen during this era.
- House was tacky
- Stunt driven things to drive ratings that didn't work and flopped (Pam An, The Flight simulator)
- The Eviction "revolver" most stupid ever designed thing they ever did, when we all knew the auditorium and the house weren't lined up next to each other.
