Always Watching đź‘€
So tonight I enjoyed the show, the vibe of the crowd was loud and electric and it was probably the best I have seen Channel Nine (Alex and Co. do). The daily show part can be improved but things are better...
Here's a breakdown of the good and bad and what I would change:
Good:
-Vibes of the show from the live audience were great
-Less ads tonight
-Prizes for the evicted housemate - didn't see that coming!
-THE COUCH! Yay! - Shots are heaps better and the chats aren't as awkward because they aren't secluded from each other.
-The stage lighting looked great tonight.
-Sonia's Eviction Interview was much better - still could be improved, was a little rushed
-No pre-recorded time-warp between the house and stage during the ad break.
-The graphics/titles for the episode remained blue throughout the whole thing! Keep this color coding for each episode!
What I would improve:
-Voting Lines
At the start of the show we were given the numbers to vote and showed the graphs and mentioned that lines would close soon. About 3 minutes later the lines closed - way to quick need to have them open for 15 mins past the shows start in my opinion.
-The "Pairs" Eviction
The whole housemates choosing which housemate of the pair to evict tonight was really rough. I really didn't like Gemma in the house, however the way in which tonight was undertaken was NOT Big Brother at all. As was mentioned by another member, the psychological impact that this puts on a housemate would in my opinion (and I am not a expert at all) be quite bad and would have NEVER been allowed in the past. I understand that this was probably a once off, but the whole vibe of it was very negative and uncomfortable viewing. I really felt sorry for her.
-Gemma's Exit from the house
When Gemma was told to exit the house she left via the same set of stairs that all housemates entered in, meaning that they probably went through those same "doors" at the entrance to the house. (see below)
Because they went to an ad break tonight after Gemma left the house, they obviously let her travel from the house to the stage during the ad break like the old days.
What I would do is show the housemate exiting from the yard and then have another camera outside the entrance (as shown above) with the housemate walking through those doors, hop on the mode of transport they use/or they walk past the camera even, then cut back to Sonia to throw to break. I think it would really improve the whole eviction vibe and flow I think. It really wouldn't be hard to do and wouldn't ruin the way in which the housemate enters the auditorium at all. You have spent the money on building it, why not use it?? Seems such a waste.
-The Couch
We have a couch! Yay! I am so glad that Alex/new live show Director took this on-board and actually use a couch now. I know its unlikely that this will happen, but the last thing I would do to top this off and make the shots 100% would be to put the couch on a riser. Put it on a perspex one or something, because I noticed a face on wide shot of the couch and the big projection behind looked like it was about to eat both Gemma and Sonia. Raising it would kinda bring Sonia and the Housemates/guest heads up a bit and not be some over sized monster about to eat them behind.
-Evictees Interview
The interview tonight went well, but I always feel that the last couple of years they really rush this and then the housemate is gone and you don't see them again until the finale. Back in the Ten days the housemates would be on Nominations/Uplate and you got to understand them or hear their thoughts more. Now its just thanks, here's a voucher see you in 2 months time. I think the interview needs to either be longer or the housemate needs to be on Monday night LIVE.
Aside from the Daily Show part needing to show more natural conversations and actual stuff that happened throughout the day in the house! (that's for another thread, but please do it) tonight was a much better eviction show in numerous aspects - the best I have seen on Channel 9.
I actually have back flipped and will stick the show out longer now.
Any other thoughts/comments/positive suggestions?
