Episode BBAU 2022 - Episode 1 Discussion (9 May, 7:30pm)

[Marco23]

Was a pretty good episode but not to the levels that Rob McKnight was gushing about in his review. Still same problems with the channel 7 era that the editing is shit and just proves we need the show to be live and have live feeds to be able to understand the housemates better not a producer highly edited show filmed months in advance. Honestly only thing making me not want to switch off is the royalty housemates as they provided a lot more entertainment and I suspect the edit will focus a lot around them as the newbies will get shafted unless they are big personalities.

I wondered the same when they announced she was in. Will be interesting to see how they accommodate her. Ten managed to break Rima's leg that time.

Omfg rima

It was great seeing the “originals” again.. I’m hoping it will finds its groove. I still love BB

 

[Consuela]

Overall, pretty good first episode. I noticed my interest waning during Strat chat and eviction protocols. I was absolutely captivated in the first hour watching everyone chat and get into all fun and games.

Yeah I really miss the first episodes of old where we get introduced to everyone and didn't jump straight into things.

It's got me in for the season though.

Having the HMs enter in groups didn't help, it was too rushed. Can only remember Taras, Josh and that there's another 10 J's.

New housemates are underwhelming at best and trash at worst. Loved seeing the old housemates though. Found that really entertaining. Loving Dave and Reggie. So old school.

Now that the season has started, however, I am even more disappointed that Paul and Vesna aren't on this. Paul would have eaten Josh alive!

Hmm "water dumping challenge" meant water being dumped on them, but I'll allow it.

You say we all have the same thing, but 25 boxes and 30 things right? I don’t have some of these

 

[CarmelHill]

Nuts how the new housemates arrived in a group of 4 at the end.

At least we got some old sound bytes of the theme song.

Wait, what? I only entered 25 things. I think.

Hello hello,

Oh crap, does this mean I have to change my username back to drewftw?

Only watching for the OG's, all the newbies can jump.

So if the public votes, just hand Reggie the cheque now, yeah?

 

[Poxy]

You can’t tell me what josh said about nobody’s was close to being natural.

Josh has the mind of a jellyfish. Nothing profound to be found.

I dunno if anyone wants to try this or if it'll detract from the programme and/or chat but I've made a Bingo game, based on some of the suggestions from the pre-recorded comments thread plus a bunch more.

Oh wait my bad lol. I misread this

Oh wait my bad lol. I misread this

Tomorrow we'll probably get "And just like that...", Tully crying, showmance and letters from home, knowing Seven.

 

[davidftw]

…fuck off Josh you fucking low life fuckwitted fuckstick… can’t wait to see the fucking end of you ya fucking fuckfaced dipshit!… one day I’m going to say what I REALLY think of you!… don’t push me you fucking fuckhead!… cheers.

LOL. I forgot how much I miss Sticky's rants. Hello friend!

 

[Brekkie]

Sounds like it's the same old shit, different season and that the producers are still taking the audience for mugs in the way things are edited. Just not going to waste 90 minutes a night on this.

The thread on the other hand - so nice to see some BBBA Royalty back with us.

 

[freddy]

Well, I actually enjoyed the first episode. Good to see the old guys back. And, it's good to be back here too. Isn't it funny how it is difficult to remember some new HMs names ... but Josh's is easy ... way to put a target on your back man.

First rule about fight club.
No need to vax.

Talking of which presumably as some Home and Away stars had to quit due to a vaccine mandate it's almost certain being vaccinated would have been a requirement for entering the house.

Of course. But being fight club we shouldnt really be talking about it.
