BBUK returns Sun 8 Oct 2023 (and Celeb BB back in 2024)

Absolutely. Should at least have been 24 hours earlier (they were sitting around doing nothing last night) or the first eviction be delayed till the Sunday - not ideal but better than noms and evictions being in the first show.
 
Back on topic - I'm not going to consider the nominations a spoiler now as they are out there, even if not covered in the main show yet...


Online last night it was almost unanimous in wanting Kerry out over Farida - a feeling at least Farida is being 100% genuine whilst Kerry perhaps may not be. Kerry is just always going to moan about someone or something which will become tiresome rather than entertaining.

BBUK have run a poll on the app though which is 70-30 in favour of Farida going, so that's a worry.
 
Funny thing is, the eviction result could possibly be spoiled within the first few seconds of them showing footage of the outside stage area.

When Kerry entered the house, they put up a ramp specifically for her. So if the ramp is there at the start of the show, the votes are either massively against Kerry or its too close to predict. If the ramp isn't there, the votes are massively against Farida.

Shots of the area on Late & Live have shown the ramp wasn't kept and made a permanent fixture, so we'll see soon enough I guess.
 
I did think that as well with the ramp. If it takes a while to set up then the perfect excuse would just be for them to say it’s there anytime Kerry may be evicted. But that does ruin the aesthetic of the stage if Kerry isn’t to be evicted.
 
No ramp. Also a new weird circle thing has appeared to the right.

Maybe they stand on the platform for the announcement?

AJ seems nervous - I’m willing her on but I do think she seems more at home on Late and Live when there’s freedom away from a script. Will does well on the main show.
 
That stage wasn't used at all in the end. The ramp did appear later in the show.

Although not a spoiler I won't mention the evictee - always think it's a sign of how good a show is when you don't really want to spoil it for other people.

As someone though who loved Big Brother in it's C4 years then hated what C5 did to it that eviction actually gave me goosebumps and made me surprisingly emotion. It was almost perfectly executed from the announcement to the exit - the walkway works well and the stage is so good. They've gone back to not using Marcus for the countdown which improves it significantly too. AJ and Will just superb.

My only annoyance is they are using the (fire exit) entrance to the studio quite a bit but it's literally just that on screen. All they had to do was turn the set slightly to line the tunnel up with the exit and the studio would be perfect.
 
AJ and Will did stand on that little platform for one section, but it wasn’t used for anything of note.

Thank goodness Marcus isn’t used for the ‘x please leave the big brother house’ or the countdown - I could have cheered when that happened!

I liked the way they transitioned from the eviction to the interview - much better than having an interview with the evicted and then getting her onto late and live to do it all over again. It merges the two shows into one big eviction special.

Well done to AJ, Will and itv2; I think they did a fantastic job of their first live show.
 
I did find everything after the interview on Late and Live rather pointless tonight - I'd prefer they add the 30 minutes to the eviction show and include the interview and then call it a night. That feels like the point to leave the show and I was never a fan of the spin-offs airing after evictions back in the day.

AJ and Will though conducted the interview really well - indeed after a week of Will getting all the praise I think AJ really shined tonight. She seemed to take the lead role, though I suspect like Ant and Dec they may alternate the announcements.
 
Yes I think that tonight AJ really loosened up as the show went on, and by the time we got to the interview we really saw the value of them hosting together. A really great casting decision from itv there!

I don’t really get nervous energy from her but there’s definitely something off about her. I really think she would have made a much better solo presenter. Her energy is so much better when she can do her own thing.

Will on the other hand has surprised me, aside from finding him extremely attractive I really didn’t think much of him pre-show. He’s 100% proven himself to be the star of the duo.

At the end of the day I definitely think ITV did them both dirty by making them a duo. They’re apparently good friends and they do have some chemistry but for me they don’t gel when they’re attracted at the hip.

100% agree. I hated everything about the panel licking Farida’s ass like they did… And trust me I love a good rim job.
