Looks like it has something to do with this:

I'm reminded of a time, about 2006, watching the BBUS feeds, when the camera operator zoomed right in on a cigarette packet which was left standing up on a table in the yard. It was kinda surreal that they would do that.

Oh wow I wish I could go back and watch the 2006 feeds of BBUS that’s my favourite season

In summary:
  • Nostalgia with a modern twist
  • Letting the experiment play out
But I couldn't help but double take at this line from Sarah:
'And don’t be surprised if Big Sister turns up this season'​

Is this Lil' Sis but all grown up now or something entirely different??? 🤔🤔🤔

Or maybe just a nod to a female BB acting as one of the voices / deputy producers, which is fine and nothing to be alarmed about
 
It’s this image that has made me spiral more than anything:

The typeface in the capsule-like design, the colours… for a show that did everything they could to pretend they didn’t take ideas from BBUK once upon a time, so far this is literally a carbon copy of the current iteration of BBUK. If the on-screen graphics continue to look like that (i.e. HM names, day number and timestamps, etc), I’m afraid it’s not giving BBAU a chance to have its own identity. Still hopeful but I’m suddenly nervous about the editing now as well.

Oh, I'm just SO excited, you guys. 😍

Is anyone else finding this to be the closure they never got from BB07-BB08? 👀 So good to see Gretel so happy and settled again, even though it must be super weird to be back at Dreamworld and surrounded by Big Brother stuff.

Back to this point - I feel like this moment right now before the launch is very much giving that closure, while also offering up a bit of optimism.

The closure is comforting, it reminds me of constantly rewatching this closing package / retrospective from BB08 as the C10 era came to a close. Is it dumb that it’s making me emosh?! To quote Jamie… IM NOT CRYING.

Also very pleased that I am not the only one so terrified & annoyed about this. They’ve done so well with the typeface & visuals so far, a good mix of OG & modern. Even if they add that stupid diamond-ish eye logo to capture some of the fans of the 9 & 7 eras, it’s ok. But to me, BB is always that photorealistic eye on a blue background with big bold letters, not this purply vibe.
 
It looks very uninspired and lazy. But at least it's not that atrocious brush stroke font that Seven used. That was a crime.
